even tho it is physically delivered and consumed (and there are specific costs to that) gas, oil, and any meaningful resource trades on a world market.
any increase in supply will tend to put downard pressure on the price.
the US could produce 10 times what it uses, producing (enough) more will still put downard pressure on prices.

you know what, if you want to pray for this kid and his family then that's great, but why do you feel the need to brag about your goodness on a message board? you can pray without logging in to the net and telling everyone about it.
if you are going to piss on me for not being on your soap box, you better be on a soap box every single time a tragic news event happens.
feeling special because you piled on the latest cause de jour, or looking down on others because they didn't say the same thing you did (and again how exactly is typing on this board going to help anyone?) has got to be the worst form of newly popular smugness.
you might as well be the guy yelling at someone for not having a yellow ribbon on the back of his car the day after you get yours.

tradesports lets you trade contracts on outcomes instead of straight risk with a central book.
it gives you a much better value, and a good shot at flattening out your position during the game (for example, when the bills score on the opening drive you can dump your contract or even go short to bet against them cheaper.

I can't see the betting pages from work.
it's too bad the guy's kid died, but it COULD WELL move the lines.
does waving the good guy badge on a message board really change anything?

this could alter the chances for indy to make the superbowl
anyone see any betting lines move much?
that's a pretty tough thing to deal with when your team is going for the superbowl

he tossed 3 TDs in one quarter, and has put up some quality bombs this season.
he can run very well.
i think he should be good, our O as a unit is pretty god aweful, let's get some pro level coaches and a couple linemen in here and see what happens.

i'll take our team right now with a good productive off season
martz as OC, assistant head coach
haslett HC
someone good as GM
i'll be happy and the bills will be good and exciting.
-
he has been up and down for sure.
for me the thing is he was just god aweful in the first 4 games.
after that, he had some sparks and has thrown 3 TDs in a single quarter.
he is also the second most athletic QB in the NFL.
mix in the fact that our O is about the 4th worst in the NFL (read that as meaning bad big men and HORRIBLE coaching), i'll keep losman
-
Let's start with that Haslett's best season with NO was his first at 10-6. Since then he's compiled a 35-43 record. In terms of improving our lines why hasn't he been able to get more out of Darren Howard, Johnathan Smith, Charles Grant and Will Smith all of whom were selected in the first two rounds of their respective drafts?
yeah, he isn't the best ever
BUT
what i want to know is why he could not be good here at all.
i think he will improve and get some things done
-
you know,
i'd really like to hear some concrete reasons or examples why haslett sucks. does anyone know what happened with la'roi glover, johnson, or Roaf?
haslett managed to take NO to the highest level of achievement they have ever had. Ditka couldn't do anything with them either, and haslett was saddled with Ditka's drafts (turley, ricki williams, some real disruptive goofs).
i honestly think guys learn from mistakes and haslett would be better here than in NO, and in NO he wasn't that bad.
I also think haslett would get our lines up big time.

wade builds all his Ds the same way (atlanta being the exception, but they are a dome team and he worked with what they had).
He gets one giant quality guy in the middle (and often has a solid backup), and he has massive and mobile ends (both of his ends are smaller faster DTs converted, olshansky and castio, both are great). He also gets at least 1 or 2 quality play making LBs.
He just builds his team from the middle of a 3-4 line and one or two play making LBs and that makes the rest look better than they are.
meriman seems like a super charged bryce paup.
i really think with a new DT and with edwards and Spikes back (not to mention crowell replacing Posey) we could have an upgrade in D similar to what SD has had this year
-
i agree
here is my list
Hutch
Bently in FA
Grady in FA (wow, if only a guy like pat williams was in FA this offseason!)
draft Ngata, Draft a SS and LB early
Cut and resign williams
if moulds must go, replace him with stallworth or wayne.
Draft an LT with our 2nd
keep clements
if we can, sign a guy like Abraham in FA, complete our pass rushing line.
job #1 is to get a new GM and new coaches
bam, there we have a team with 2 good lines and plenty of young talent to work with
-
i think our D schemes are horrible.
troy has dissapointed this year, but he is still a decent cover guy.
ever since grey got here our corners play 10 yards off and our safties are ALWAYS chasing guys who catch easy balls in the soft spots of the zone.
i really think our coaching has to be stripped.
these same guys decided pat and antoine were expendable, and made bledsoe look horrible while he has a legit shot at the pro bowl this year.
-
I don't care who was covering him. ANY player who has 9 catches in the first half sound have been double covered. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you need to bump this guy off the line to mess up the timing of the plays but apparently Jerry Gray was too worried about something to do so. Who knows....I have given up try to figure out what the heck this team is doing.
that's a good point
we never do simple stuff like stunts, disguised coverages, cloud coverage, rolling coverage to a player as an adjustment in the game effectively.
even when we put 8 in the box we seem to always blitz milloy on the outside and let anything up the middle or a cutback go for big yards.
speaking of which, is there a player who blitzes more for less results in the NFL than milloy?
-
willis was making some good runs straight up the gut, quickly followed by putting in shaud and 2 yard passes on 3rd and 4 by holcomb the scared qb
-
i do remember clements getting torched when he was in press once too.
i think grey has moved away from his schemes to a plain vanilla D. it worked pretty well when we first put it in against carolina, but you can't just play a good team vanilla all game and get get exploited a few times.
i also think grey's schemes looked better than the were last year and before because of the insane talent we had on D, now with a few injuries and departures there aren't enough studs to cover up the holes in his D

I think the 10 sack question has been addressed 100 times..Maybe the reality hasnt sunk in yet for you--that those are junk sacks,.He never gets a critical one --or even gets ANY pressure when it counts-especially against a decent team..He is a habitual NON-factor.PRO bowl--what a joke.
did you see the game in NE?
he got sacks, pressure and forced a fumbe that we recovered on brady.
i made a statement that IF/WHEN we have better players on the line he will be able to make a big impact and get to the pro bowl.
take a look at how many sacks he has in his career, his whole career has been for a grey D, and out of 5 years 3 have been just god aweful.
he could very well make it to the pro bowl all he has to do is crack about 13 or 14 sacks (he had 11 and a half one year).
god, you are a miserable one aren't you?
-
wha!?!?!?
10 sacks so far, playing the run very well, drops in coverage and makes plays (he even had a pick in the 4th quarter in Miami).
have you counted how many sacks simeon rice, peppers, or freeny have this year on much better schemes and with much better guys around them?
don't be a playa hater
-
mularky is a genious
he uses packages and motion to get us into the bottom 5 in O in the NFL

just so i can say i made one positive post in this thread:
on that play schobel covered the reciever, and had him blanketed.
aaron is a real player, on a bad line and in a scheme that asks more of him than it should.
once we get Ngata in here and edwards back, along with someone who knows D (haslett is my pick) we are gonna see schobel in hawaii
John Abraham's status as a free agent?
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
i'd go for hutch and bently, perhaps another top G in place of one of them.
if we ditch MW that is another guy we need, don't know who is there at RT.
i'd like to draft Ngata, and abraham would be the next peice in our D
with spikes back and keeping clements, a dline of
kelsey
aaron
abraham
adams
ngata
edwards
grady or some other FA DT
would really set this team off
