OK, Bills fans, here's a pop-quiz for you: Can you name the five former Buffalo Bills that are on one of the twelve NFL playoff rosters? Stop reading for a minute - give it a try, see if you can get it. I'll be honest, originally I was only coming up with three: upon review, there are five. Ready? OK
Dallas Cowboys: QB Drew Bledsoe. Easy. Barring an injury to Tony Romo, he won't see the field. And should the Cowboys lose the the Seahawks, he may be suiting up for the last time.
New Orleans Saints: TE Mark Campbell. A first-class guy, always a pleasure to deal with. I am happy he'll earn some extra playoff cash.
Seattle Seahawks: DE Bryce Fisher. A good John Butler 7th-round pick still in the league.
Baltimore Ravens: DT Justin Bannan. One of the two players I missed on. Bannan signed with the Ravens this off-season.
New England Patriots: S Rashad Baker. Had the Bills let go Troy Vincent at the end of camp, it's possible that Baker wouldn't be wearing Patriots colors right now.
There is one other player that spent time in camp, but never made the final roster: Giants backup QB Tim Hasselbeck. His time at St. John Fisher is memorable, if for nothing else we reporters had an "Elisabeth watch" going on, hoping his then fiance/former reality TV star would come to Rochester. She never came.

That fumble by Romo should have been reviewed. Ground can't cause a fumble.

Phil,
Ah yes, Jimmy Williams...not to be confused with the baseball manager, or the corner stiff named J.D. Williams. Williams was a sixth round pick in 2001 and was cut during camp. Think about it: That 3-13 team was horrible! Yet Williams is still in the league today. Good for him. For the record, he's on IR, so that's why I didn't include him...there's another player on IR - that's Trey Teague, with the Jets. But you, Phil, are a true Bills fan for coming up with Jimmy Williams. Most of us try to block out 2001. Thanks for writing.
