    Asked if there were chances to beat the Saints downfield that were not taken, Van Pelt said: "I'd say there were some chances, yes. There also were some chances where we chose to run the ball when we had one on one outside."

     

    Van Pelt rattled off the results on those occasions: "We gained 6 three times, 5 one time, 3 another time, minus 1, minus 2, minus 3. So do you jeopardize your run game and put your O- line in a situation of holding the ball to try to throw it? You have to take all that into consideration."

    Unless I'm misreading, this seems to be a defense of running the ball in situations where there was one-on-one coverage. Yet for the plays he lists, the Bills ran 8 times for 20 yards (2.5 ypc). That actually sucks.

     

    we are back to the jp effect. this team does not trust it's qb to get the job done- key words from van pelt are "TRY TO THROW IT".

     

    THEN AGAIN, MAYBE I'M READING TOO MUCH INTO IT?

  2. I believe all of that is included in the standard contract. It states their responsibilities, which include general liability, workers comp, and so on. It also specifies a final completion date.

     

    it may be included, but their policy may not be current. seen it hundreds of times. ask for what i told you and then call the insurance company to verify it's valid.

  3. most important thing is to make sure they have a certificate of insurance and can produce one with your name on it as employer.

     

    furthermore, if the work lasts a long time, ask for an updated cert of ins occasionally.

     

    cert of ins should include general liability limits, workers comp, and disability for employees and current dates.

     

    also find out if they carry a surety bond or purchase one. will allow you to collect funds without a lawsuit if they do not finish the job.

     

    and add a final completion date to the contract.- may need to speak with a lawyer on how to do this, but you do not want work dragging on for 6 months when it could have been done in 1-2 months

  4. As someone else said, the press' job is to report the news not create it. If TO or any athlete doesn't want to speak, they shouldn't have to.

     

    exactly. the press has the right to print/say whatever they want, they do not have the right to make a person talk. and i think

     

    its pretty low when the press turns on a person for not talking. that IS the press creating news instead of reporting the news.

  5. Three weeks into the season, the Bills have experienced quite a few significant injuries. Butler and Schouman out for the season, Posluszny probably 6-8 weeks, and now McKelvin and Whitner. The former may be for multiple weeks.

     

    Quite a few fans around here in 07 chalked that season's failure up to injuries. It's almost as if we search for outs to explain why the team is so miserable. Inevitably there will be posts about why injuries, and not inept management are responsible.

     

    Never mind that the four backup LB's on the roster all are UDFAs that weigh less than 230 or the OL is one of the youngest in NFL history. Those items don't matter, because they're shorthanded at many positions once again.

     

     

    Injuries have always been an excuse since jauron got here.

     

    look at the weekly injury report:

     

    Dick Jauron; questionable; brain damage,lack of testicular fortitude

  6. Aside from the obvious stuff, here are some indicators that this is total crap:

     

    - Limo companies don't need to know who their picking up at all, they just need a name of a person/business to bill and a destination.

     

    wrong.....

     

    if you are picking up someone at an airport, you need to have their name. otherwise anyone could get a free ride

  7. I was at the airport today. A Delorean pulled up, in it was Wayne Gretsky from 1985. Then a limo pulled up and out walked Rudy Giuliani and Jon Gruden. Rudy told me he was in town to make a four-pronged announcement:

     

    1. He is the new mayor of Buffalo.

    2. Jon Gruden is the new coach of the Bills

    3. 1985 Wayne Gretsky is going to play for the 2009 Sabres.

    4. George Seifert really was at the Buffalo airport once.

     

     

    :wallbash:B-):wub: I would take #3 ... the others not so much

     

     

    who is wayne GRETSKY?

     

    is he some unknown player from 1985?

     

    i'd take wayne gretzky, but no way do i want wayne gretsky on the sabres. no one has ever heard of that bum

  8. came out of nowhere on saturday with some lightheadedness, aches...then the fever set in....yikes.....no stomache issues...popping cold/flu pills, keeping oj close by, and not moving from the couch very much....kept my kids home from school today to avoid them not infecting their schools, i don't wish this on anyone....and I NEVER get the flu.....

     

    same junk ran through my house last week. everyone got sick....... i felt like death was sitting next to me. hot,cold,cold,hot.

     

    all better now. the worst only lasted 3 days

     

    tea and soup are your friends

     

    get well!

  9. IMHO, this season, the players have proved they have the talent to play against anybody in this league.

     

    what players have proved anything other than maybe fred jackson and the run blocking of the o-line for the first 2 games?

     

    qb has proved he is either scared to or can not thrown downfield.

     

    wr's have proved they can not combine for 10 catches a game.

     

    o-line has proved they have trouble pass bolcking.

     

    db's have proved that they play 7-10 yrds off recievers almost every down.

     

    d-line has proved the no huddle does not work for them as they tire in the second half.

     

    lb's have proved to suck in pass coverage.

     

    special teams proved to have lost that magic touch.

     

    wait, this team has proved alot.......

     

    chicken little told me yesterday "the sky is falling in buffalo!"

  10. T.O.'s actual tweet:

     

    "I could less about Rodney Harrison! Anybody tht using steroids, yes STEROIDS rodney, is a cheater & cheated the game! ... Is tht Y u used steroids b/c u were worried about ur stats or ws it b/c u were losing it? Lol! U're a loser & a cheater? Got any steroid ... Hey rodney! Send me sum steroids 2 the Bills facility next week!"

     

    harrison is an a** clown and a dirty player. always has been, always will be

  11. You are probably right but I just think the players are going to REALLY vent over the next 24 hours. I was really hoping TO was going to unleash post game but he did the right thing. If ANYONE should be fired up over this coaching, it should be Evans - he is the one under contract....

     

    evans being under contract is a reason for him not to get in a tizzy. he gets his millions next year no matter how sad the offense is. players in the last year of their contracts will be the ones to lose it..... it's comming from T.O., just a matter of time

  12. Why is everyone so negative on this board? After all, it is only the third game and we have the hapless fins next. Wait, right after that is the equally inept Cleveland Browns. We should be 3-3 going into the Jets game and with a win over Houston and Carolina, could end up at 5-4 by week 9 (DJ keeps his job through the bye week).

     

    everyone is negative because it's the 3rd game in the season with nine straight years with no post season(soon to be 10)

     

    enough is enough...........

  13. Yeah.....I agree. I say put Lynch and Jackson out there with 2 or 3 TEs and just forget the WRs. He rarely even looks in their direction. I couldn't believe what I was watching from the stands today. I saw Evans and Owens get open on a fairly regular basis and most times Trent didn't even look at them, let alone throw it to them. He immediately looks for his RBs and TEs. So I agree.....put them all on the field at the same time. Maybe they will get some looks.

     

    at least jp would make dumb decisions down field............
