Same here and I will go to my grave believing we beat (was it New England) had Garrard not been pulled as the starter in favor of Leftwich in that playoff game.  He still almost brought us back.

IIRC it was 2004, and Mo Williams either tore a muscle or broke his hand, and Willie McGinest feasted that day. Leftwich had no chance, but it was the dumbest decision to put a statue in that situation.

2007 we should have beaten the Pats, but we had Rodney and alligator-armed Dennis Northcutt playing WR that day. Not that I'm bitter about that...

Bullseye. I'd add Greg Jones to the RB list in place of Robinson. He's only done it for a season, no telling if he can keep it going. Greg opened a bunch of holes for Freddy and Mojo, and regardless of his stats, he was a crucial part of those offenses.

For TE, I'd add George Wrighster to your list - he was often the receiving TE at the end of Brady's tenure, and around the time Lewis came in, if I recall. Never one to be a threat to get a 100 yard game, but good to help move the chains. IIRC back troubles limited his play, though.

Y'all are a lot better at remembering things than I am, though. Some of these names were a blast from the past.
