After further review, our income did increase by $8000. I also haven't added the education expenses in yet, but the refund/amound due box did not change on the federal return when i added the mortgage/real estate tax value. Will those values come into play with the state returns only?

i started doing my turbotax stuff today and i'm horrified to see that i owe a nice chunk of change. All things considered, last year's wages and contributions equal this year's wages and contributions. The only difference is the interest paid on my mortgage. I received a nice fedral refund last year but this year its saying that i owe. I'm very new to doing my taxes, so someone let me know what gives??

yeah, i was thinking that too. he really proved the doubters wrong with that pickup.

Should i start a new thread to reference these two v-coach alerts as well as this v-coach alert?

I don't think that his accuracy is a big problem... He was very accurate on route based passes where he was under little pressure, and so so when he was able to roll out and make a throw. He was inaccurate on the clusterf--k plays, which i don't think anyone would be. Losman's passing was not good, but that had a lot to do with coaching, gameplanning and a general sense of a losers attitude by everybody. I would not put much stock in last year, either way, since it was a wash of a season. As for jauron, i think a lot of posters were just pissed that they didn't get their money guy. Jauron will be fine with the right assistant coaches and support from management. The sabres are fine and as long as they stay within about 5 games of first, anything is open. Look at the last month of the schedule... They play toronto, montreal and ottawa like 34 times in the last week. They'll be healthy then too. Not worried

how was that?

ok

It's not worth it. Chuck Lester transcends his Special Assistant to HC/Defensive assistant title. Lester would tell you to not waste the wax and lighter butane. He's like the pope or a supreme court justice... He's a lifer.

oops... didn't see your other vcoach thread.

Also, jim overdorf was named VP of football operations. Don't know muych about JO or RB, but i'd have to say that i'm not too worried about signing players, the cap, the vendors at the ralph, etc. I was a little worried with rookie GM levy in charge of everything, but he does have backing, so its all good.

seriously, the bills would have to raise tickets by $10-$20/ticket/game to be at the league average. GET OVER IT! You B word and moan about hiring the "cheap" guy jauron, yet B word and moan about tickets increasing by the price of two gallons of gas. get over it, really.

one guy yells and belittles his players. the other beats them up greco-roman style in his barn. I really could care less who the DL coach is as long as he teaches them to stop a 4th quarter running play.

well, when you have lots of money, pride gets in the way. hell, even when you're poor, pride gets in the way. I can tell you one thing though. If sherman did take the OC job, you'd know that he was doing it for the love of the game, which is what this team need right now.

now that would make for a good staff. However, sherman would have a lot of pride to swallow. He'll get his $$ from the packers contract, but HC/GM to OC is a big drop off. For as much as some TBDers propped the guy up, he's still available after only interviewing with the bills... Not too out of the realm of posibilities to have Sherman as OC and bates as dc.

If he comes cheap, i'd pick him up for competition. He provides an actual challenge for the starter position, as he has started before. I believe the keeping holcomb around is a joke. He showed absolutely nothing last year.

i'm just interjecting at this point of the argument, so i don't know if it was answered before, but levy was just comparing Ditka, a hard nose no crap coach to vermeil who shows emotion and cries.

the problem with hiring hasslet is that he called out a bills all time great (hull) for allegedly using steroids. Plus, hiring has would have left the door open to bring in fred smerlas as DC, or line coach. Now that would really piss some people off here!

This guy stole MM/TC's playbook!!

I think by saying "hopefully" we win is better than saying "we do this, we do that, we call A, we audible to B, and we win". Tell that to the houston texans, who probably thought they did a lot of things right. Hopefully we win is a true statement spoken from the heart, not the book of politically correct non-inflamintory answers.

he's a ball hog, rapist, crybaby, bad teammate, coach hating guy playing in a bush league. With that being said, 81 points is still 81 points... pretty decent in my book

if you could seperate yourself from everything that we know on the "behind the scenes" stuff and just look, the guy sounded pretty level headed and intelligent. Not bad at all, which is all i ask at this point.

oh come on... you can tell that i'm irrational by reading my "give jauron a chance" thread. THere is no rational thought here. Brett should retire. There i said it, and so did levy... almost literally, but definitely implied.

oh crap, i forgot to log on as soprano. j/k levy did start to say one thing then quickly changed to "brett had a bad year". Either way, i'd hate to play the packers next year.

Listen, hiring sherman over jauron would not have automatically made the bills the AFC champions next year. Hiring jauron over sherman will not automatically make the bills the #1 draft pick next year either. I'll give this guy a fair shake heading into next season. I'm interested in who he brings in on the offensive side of the ball. I've got a feeling it will be sam wyche though. In the press conference, DJ did not come out and make stupid comments like GW did, or sound like an idiot like MM did. He said that hte fans will be passionate when the bills win (true), he knows how to take the heat from the fanbase, and he'll try his best to produce a winner. What more can you ask of the guy? I think DJ is an upgrade over MM, and depending on whom he hires as his coordinators and how well the players like DJ, the bills could be decent next year.

he also thinks that brett should probably retire... Hope we don'tplay the packers next year
