Could be wrong, but I'm reading it as you chose N. Fl. I moved to N. Fl.(Tallahassee) in '89, back to Buff in '90 and came back to Tally in '93. Been here since. Where I live, we actually have a change in seasons. I love hitting 31degrees at night, but not seeing any snow. I could do without Aug., Sept, and Oct. here. I visit Buffalo nearly every summer. It is a beautiful place, in the summer. I love Buffalo, but give me a rider mower with a beer on a Saturday morning over a snow blower. My dad is always amazed at the lack of potholes when he visits.

Hauschka responds to Bills waiver claim on kicker
HerdMenatlity1 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Care to share all those crying incidents with us? Examples, please. -
Does he mean pack it up and go home?
-
Aikman is starting to sound like a pissed off Cowboys fan now.

So, is Dak still gonna be the highest paid QB?
-
Nope. Still a quality win, in m eyes. They "needed it", it was in Dallas, it was on Turkey Day and they had a winning record at the time. We won't drop in the polls for that.

Who is your favorite current Buffalo Bill and why?
HerdMenatlity1 replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Between Kyle retiring, Harrison's injury, a rookie next him, and bringing in a couple of FA's(Phillips and Peko), my guy has been a pillar on the d-line the past 2 seasons. Right now my favorite player is Star. Josh is 1a. -
I wouldn't put anything past Urban. He'll take it the job, if offered.

I've already said I don't think Chase is an upgrade and made my case. I was curious why you keep mentioning the last 16 games and not just this season when we've only played 12 this season. Then I looked. If we go back 16 games, that would include the last 4 games of last season when Hausch was injured due to a cheap shot by a Jets lineman. Here's how last year went: 1st 12 games(pre-injury) he was 17/19(89%) last 4 games(injured) he was 5/9(55%) This year inside of 50 yds Hausch is 14/16(87.5%). This year inside of 50 yds Chase is 12/16 (75%) The only place you might argue Chase is better is 50+ yds. He's 100%, but he's only tried 1 from that distance. Hausch is at 20% , but has 5 attempts. They each have 1 made from 50+ For the reasons given, the answer isn't yes. Chase is not better. I, like you, hope he doesn't cost us another game though. But, Chase lost one for the Niners this year too. I know it's a moot point now but wanted to reply to your question.

I have no problem with us not agreeing on the confidence boost part, but I still believe Beane isn't the type to risk his job over a player's feeling of insecurity. He wanted to lock up a good kicker, expecting a return to pre-injury form. If he waits and Haush is the top kicker in the league right now, Haush asks for more than $2 million or tests FA after this season. We'll see how the rest of the season plays out, but he seems to be coming around over the last few games. Hopefully you didn't take my "dumb" as I was speaking about you. The "dumb" comment was directed at the staff. If that was the reason they did give him the contract extension, that was a dumb move by Beane.

Sure, I trust this staff isn't dumb enough to give someone money just to boost his confidence. This is a cut throat league. You get paid for production. His 1st year here, he was money(% 88). Last year, the same, til the injury off of a cheap shot. He still kicked at a %78 clip last year with the injury. He was going to be an URFA after this year. Locking up a good kicker at $2 million a year is a good deal. Since the debacle vs. the Browns, he's rebounded to 7/8 in FG attempts. We'll see how the resat of the season plays out. Back to your question: I think it's ridiculous to think Beane is going to pay someone $2 million a year to make him feel better about himself. That's how you get fired. The goal was to keep a good kicker in the fold at a decent contract, not to boost his confidence. Hindsight aside.
