True, but then again, the same problem would arise when the Pittsburgh game came up. Against good teams, our weaknesses (lack of a pass rush, interior OL, 3rd corner) were exposed. If those weaknesses are not addressed, no kicker on the planet can compensate. Even if we were to squeak into the playoffs last year, with those weaknesses exposed we wouldn't be in the playoffs for long.
Granted. But do you relaly feel the rest of the team was that far away?

As I said earlier, IF the Bills address the OL, pass rush, and additional CB issues BEFORE going into the draft and address them well, I could see using a pick on Nugent. BUT NOT IF THEY DON'T!!!!!
We can curse Lindell until we're blue in the face, but the fact remains that the ENTIRE TEAM had a meltdown in the Pittsburgh game. I can't blame Lindell for a 3rd string RB running all over us, nor can I blame him for our inability to stop a slot receiver on 3rd downs. I also can't blame Lindell for our defense playing lights out on 1st and 2nd downs, but giving up big 3rd downs due to a lack of a consistent, scary pass rush.
Nooooo, you can't. But you CAN blame Lindell for missing a kick that would have put Pittsburgh in a bind. You can also blame Lindell for missing a kick in the Jaguars game that would have rendered That final game of the year meaningless.

it's a shame buffalo couldn't even support an AFL team.

He's better than Vanderjagt for sure, possibly better than Akers, but no one's better at the position than Vinatieri.
And Nugent (please, any Chuckeye fans who want to chime in here) would seem to be better than all three of them.
That and he's 20-21, so you could lock him in long-term.

OK, let's try this again.
The only point I disagree with you on is the need to DRAFT a kicker.
When you've got a guy like Nugent coming out this year, you have to take a shot at him. After all, Janikowski's been pretty good for the Raiders, and Nugent, for all intents and purposes, looks to be a better kicker than even the Polish toe!

The only problem I have with your post is your assertion that we do not need a kicker.
We do, and badly. Who knows how much Rian Lindell's lack of accuracy has harmed this team?
If you have a kicker that can't nail a kick from 28 yards, that's bound to fork up a game plan.

This topic make me laugh.
Consider what this generation already accepts:
Survelliance cameras in every store, every shop.
No employment without background checks.
People daily giving their personal information to get a "deal" on purchases.
Folks attacking users of a legal product - tobacco - and chuckling while government extorts money from private business while munching on 1,000 calorie burgers.
Blithly having their person violated by drug screening and meekly accepting it.
People buying cell phone with cameras so they can become defacto Peeping Toms.
Celebrating voyuerism, such as in lauding "Jail Cam".
The list goes on...
Here are some words from Martin Niemoller, a German, who spent 8 years in prison and in concentration camps:
"First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me."
But learning from history seems to be passe these days...
EDIT: 1:53 PM 2/14/04: googlebot is listed in the active user's list, collecting it's info. Happy VD!
problem is, many of those measures are enacted by private entities (drug tests, et al) and not the gov't. This is the gov't we're talking about here.

I'm jealous. I've lost 15+ pounds (official weigh in-tomorrow) and I still have 55 lbs to go. I've been out of commission exercise wise due to illness and injury back-2-back. Cant' wait to get back to my running.

I have NEVER understood someone who is unemployed but won't take even a temp job because they thinks it's below them...Like some have said on the board get a job any job to it great and you'll move up and make more money...Problem is it takes hard work.
It's not hard but it is hard work...
Exactly. When you've got no job and a child, you take what you can get.
Unless you're in the union, then you wait for them to "call back".

Indeed. The job I found had more than 200 applicants applying for the one position.
If you can't market yourself, OF COURSE you're not going to find a job.
BTW, This opportunity was the SECOND company in my search (of more than 75 resumes sent out) that actually even responded to my resume.
-
I got laid off 4 months ago from a company I started (go figure). Still haven't found what I'm looking for job wise, but I have been working on projects for other people. I'm also working on starting up about 20 different websites, some big some small. Hopefully in 2 years I'll spend my days golfing and competing with Steve for the most posts here.....
btw - if anyone wants work, I have an unlimited amount of mindless cut and past Internet work for $10 an hour.
Can it be done from home?
-
Finally, someone that knows what they're talking about around here.
Won't get done, not to Philly. Teams that need a RB, well, my Dolphelons, Frisco, Bears, Raiders, and maybe even the Cards. But outside of those teams, I dont see him going anywhere. And don't be shocked, or pissed, when you only get a third and a vet for him.
Yes, well, I like to think of it as the fact that we're Bills fans means we know what we're talking about. *coudh* Dullfan *cough*

You are ignorant.
I have 2 college degrees and my 2nd degree I graduate with honors fool.
Your stupidity is laughable. You honeslty believe it is only the non educated feeling the pinch. Not only do I have 2 degrees but I have also invested serious time and money into my A+ and CCNA certifications
SO please stop being an ignorant self serving jack ass and try to realize that there is a huge need for corporate America to create better liveable wage jobs.
Why are you so afraid of creating more and better opportunity for the masses ????
You know what? I have a two-year degree, as well. And *I* got laid off earlier this year. Having a degree doesn't entitle you to a job either. What did *I* do?
*I* went out there, while on unemployment, and worked in a sh-- job PT to supplement my unemployment. All the while, *I* cultivated personal contatcts and worked on *MY* resume. *I* took civil service exams. *I WORKED* to find another job.
*I* found one, and at a better employer than my lost job. No union was there to pull my nuts out of the fire, *I* did it for *MYSELF*.
So quityerbitchin and get out there and do it for yourself.

What you think it easy finding better work. I have been struggling for over a year to find better work, and I have 2 college degrees, and have graduated with honors. I send out numerous resumes a week, and I try to contact anyone I know who can help me. There are very few opportunites and those that are above average receive 100's of applicants.
Take your heads out of your butts people. The fact is there are not enough good solid jobs around for everyone, and until there are more opportunities created, and sacrafices made at the top more and more people will continue to sink lower and lower into povery or worse. Many companies choose to higher temp workers so they don't have to offer any benefits, and many peopl eaccept these jobs simply because they have no choice.
So work as a temp worker!

Your stock didn't lose any money if you didn't sell it. It lost value which has returned. Smart investors put more money in GE when it devalued.
You think you can't make it on $10 an hour? Go visit a foriegn country where they make $200 a YEAR.
If you can't make it in America, you ain't making it ANYWHERE.
Yeah...this guy reminds me of the Dead Kennedy's song "Holiday In Cambodia". i'd love to see him survive in the barrios of Mexico City or the slums in Gaza.
Its NOT all about the money for the Pats personnel
