Arguably, there is nothing more important in a company's documents than its business plan. There are a variety of reasons for this, from internal planning by the company's managers, to its attractiveness to loans from banks, to its ability to convince others to invest. For new businesses, a business plan in the start-up phase provides a clear path to the future as it requires that everyone involved carefully consider their strategies and realistically evaluate the new enterprise's limitations in order to avoid potential costly mistakes.
Few and far between are companies who survive without a business plan. Those who forego this crucial step are statistically more likely to fail. A well-constructed plan can assist businesses in clarifying their objectives and reach their goals. Management decisions made prior to actions help companies realize both their limitations, how to ultimately overcome those limitations, and to continue to grow, become, and remain competitive.
Business plans are used in for multiple reasons and purpose. Internally, business plans are used to forecast events and plan accordingly by the company's executives. Business plans are used to acquire the money needed for smooth operations, whether those funds are used for current operational needs or for planned expansions, mergers, acquisitions, and more. Because each plan is specific to each company, each is unique although some standard elements are usually present in all.
Let's consider the usefulness of a business plan for internal purposes first. Much like an architectural blueprint to show construction workers specifically how to erect a building, business plans too are blueprints to show managers and executives how to build a sound foundation and scaffolding of a business. As the business grows, the business plan can be compared to the projected goals, sales, direction, and the timeliness of all of those elements. If something goes wrong, the business plan can help where those problem areas are occurring, and solutions that have anticipated some of those rough spots can be implemented. Areas of opportunity are also anticipated in a well-constructed business plan, such as marketing potential and opportunities. Anticipating the need for income as the company grows is also an important element of a company's business plan. Looking forward, for both problems and opportunities, helps a company stay on course.
In the best of worlds, everyone involved in a company will be aware and participate in a company's business plan, from the president to the forklift driver. For those in upper management, a good plan will establish performance targets for the company as a whole. In middle management, the plan is used to guide decisions in real time as these managers navigate on-going needs, problems, and opportunities. Middle management also relies on the business plan to assess those performance of employees who work below them. Those on the lower levels should be aware of the future plans for the company so that they can adjust their own performance on the job in order to help the company stay on course and reach its future goals.
As companies grow and change, they frequently face the need to reorganize or restructure. When this happens, a business plan which has anticipated these events can help the company stay profitable as it pursues new goals. Plans that include the needs of a reorganization or restructure will identify the types of changes that will likely be necessary, including changes in production and employees as well as products and services.
Outside of the company, a clear business plan is used by lenders to assess a company's ability to take on debt. The business plan continually documents the company's cash flow needs as well as providing a comprehensive list of assets. The business plan also offers lenders its projected financial performance. This factual information allows lenders to perform risk assessment and avoid making bad loans.
When it comes time to sell a company, the business plan is the best and first source of information for the potential buyer, either of the entire company, one or more of its divisions, or its product line. Just as it does for lenders, the business plan, for a buyer, gives that party valuable insight into the basic strengths and weakness of the company it is looking into purchasing.
No single person prepares a company's business plan, at least not many which result in successful ventures. Business plans are almost always a team effort, and they involve not only executives, but managers and workforce input as well. Upper management is wise to listen to everyone involved when establishing the plan, and they should be willing to entertain feedback as well.
A few basic steps can be identified in the planning process. The first step is to organize the process by identifying who will be involved, determining the basic scope of the plan, and establishing a time frame within which the plan is to be completed. Upper management not only communicates its support of the planning process, it also defines the responsibilities of each party involved. Work plans that supplement the general timetable are helpful in meeting deadlines associated with the planning process.
While plans are indeed unique, some components are overlap. For example, all companies must begin with determining who among them will be involved in the construction and verbiage of the plan; they must define the scope of the plan; they must decide on a deadline for the plan's completion. After this entire framework has been laid down, and after a great deal of information is gathered, those involved can begin assessing the company, both internally and externally. Of great importance is an honest assessment of any and all weaknesses identified, whether those weaknesses are internal or external. External factors that fall under consideration include the economic picture of the country, competitors, and trends. Management is also assessed at this time.
After organizing and evaluation comes goal setting and strategizing for the future. Goals usually include defining the market, how the company will compete in the marketplace, and its overall philosophy regarding customers. From these broader goals, more specific strategies are developed.
Now specific plans can go forward. Programs determine how the existing and future resources will be managed in order to achieve goals.

Business planning requires a long term perspective and faith in your company's capabilities. I might sound a bit too impractical as compared to the present scenario but in my opinion these are the basic necessities of planning a business prospective. A business plan is an essential roadmap for business success. This living document generally projects 3-5 years ahead and outlines the route a company intends to take to grow revenues. The most important aspect is being honest. Your business plan should reflect your company perfectly. Under or over estimation of any sort can incur losses and disappointments!
A buisness plan is very broad. But assuming that you ment you want to start a buisness and were asking for things you need to plan ahead of time ill just leave this here and this is just some thoughts and opinions.
- You need to make sure you have an appropriate setting for your buisness if you are having a physical store you might want to look for empty lots or stores people are selling to make sure you catch peoples attention
- Advertisement
- Shelves and proper tools for the store
- Mass suppliers to replenish your stock
- Workers if a big buisness
- Plan out a payroll
- Plan out monthy or weekly expenses
- Bills for electicity and ac etc..
- Product buying in mass as mentioned above suppliers
And thats all I can think up of to have a good buisness tart up plan

you want passive 102.4 without sb up
Ok so this has been bothering me. As a warrior tank, would going over the 102.4 avoidance cap be worth it?
Shield Block increased Block by 25% but if your total avoidance exceeds 100% then the excess amount goes to critical block. So in turn, wouldn't going over 102.4 be better for mitigation? Or is it better to just hit 102.4 then stack stamina?
you want passive 102.4 without sb up
You can reach 102.4% with shieldblock in 346 gear, where else do you want to spend your ratings on? Expertise, hit? Only way worth thinking about would be swapping out mastery for pure avoidance but i'd go with as much combined avoidance+migitation as possible to cover those 20s when your shieldblock isn't up.
Is 102.4 passive avoidance even plausible atm? My warrior sockets Mastery/Stam gems, Pure Mastery and parry/mastery and I sit at 88% passive avoidance. I've been reforging to keep parry 1%~ higher than dodge, keeping DR losses at a minimum and just min/maxing every way I can.
you can get to around 97-98% in full bis gear as a warrior...102.4% isn't possible as a warrior in current tier, but that shouldn't stop you from not gemming for avoidance/mastery past 77.4%
Yea I figured as much, Just needed to clarify really. Thanks.
Also, can you count the base 5% to be missed as an avoidance? And if you're an NE the extra 2% does that count too?
yes both count towards 102.4
To sum it up a little:
Reaching 77.4% dodge/parry/block/(boss miss) so SB will reach 102.4% will still leave you open to full, unmitigated hits, ~25% of the time. SB, in a best case scenario, when used on CD, is 33% uptime (well, depending on the fight it can have a much higher effective time, such if you use right after a taunt on the BH boss). So 66% of the time you're still subject to full attacks in most cases. If you use SB as a defensive CD for specific mechanics, then it's going to have a lower uptime, meaning an even higher uptime on the chance of full, umitigated hits.
Addtionally, the block granted that would go above 102.4 isn't lost. It's turned into crit block.
So if you have 92.4 Dodge/Parry/Block/Boss miss and you pop SB, only 10% of the normal block is used to reach 102.4. The other 15% becomes additional crit block chance.
So say for example, you have 20 mastery. Normally you would have:
20% base crit block (protection tree)
30% crit block (20 mastery)
So normally you would have a 50% chance of the block being a crit block. But since you have 15% 'left over' after hitting 102.4%, you now have:
50% + 15% for 65% chance of crit block during the duration of the SB.
A) The extra block granted by SB is still used, not lost, and
B) Maxing passive dodge/parry/block/boss miss as close to 102.4% (or dodge/parry/block/boss miss/Nelf racial avoidance bonus) smooths incoming damage to the greatest extent, making healers more efficient, so pushing past 77.4% is still very good.
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
Hi Loganisis,
Nice guide, I agree wholeheartedly with just about everything you said; though I believe talents like Blood Craze and Impending Victory can be very useful for the lower level tanks, in particular running Normal 85 dungeons where healers can sometimes go OOM while they themselves are still collecting gear.
My question, if I may: Is what do you make of T12 and the current tanking gear that is providing Hit and Expertise?
My take is that we will all be aiming for Hit and (I hope to a lesser degree) Expertise when 4.3 launches later this year. Do you think that given this [arguable] eventuality that we should care less about Critical Block now and 'go with the flow' of T12 and delve into Hit and/or Expertise?
From what i read between the lines they will "fix" Dk tanks with a few changes in 4.3 one of them making deathstrike always heal/shield so making hit/expertise just as worthless as it is for warriors/paladins now. Major changes to other tanks won't happen until 5.0
"Again, these aren't the kind of changes we will hotfix in. It's going to take a lot of thought and a lot of feedback from players to get things feeling right. We'd like to introduce the tanking changes more smoothly, but we still want to introduce them"
Hit & expertise are worthless in T12 (except for alyzrasor) but shannox belt, boe neck and tier shoulders have a large amount of mastery to make up for it, exalted rep ring is one of the only 2 options for tankrings. Would avoid other pieces with hit or expertise on them.
As far as the healing talents go, i prefer the dps talents. Tanks can do a decent amount of dps in aoe situations, single target its a bit less. If your healer goes oom dps is too slow or the healer is not doing it right. I wouldn't adjust your spec to account for bad healers in content you'll be out very fast.

1. Necro is bad! :P Let dead threads lie and start a new one.
On to your points:
A. Blood Craze + IV are not better, even at lower levels. This is for several reasons:
i. They heal for less since your own health pool is smaller (unless you're running in T12 gear)
ii. Focusing on DPS (used to be threat) talents means the fight is shorter and mobs run away from you less so the healer can focus better on you.
I'd still stay away from them and focus on ending the fight sooner through DPS talents than almost unrecognizabley small heals. Say you're a new tank at 150k HP with the 15% buff - BC is healing you for 4500 over 5 seconds - which is 900 health a second for 5 seconds, and if there aren't many sources of damage, you're looking at a 3 second swing timer, so 10% chance every 3 seconds to heal for 900 health/s for 5 seconds. IV would be 7500 in that case, but then only in the last 20% of the bosses health, which is less than 20% of the fight since that's the execute phase and many classes are hitting harder then. If IV were throughout the fight, or if BC were it's original 3/6/9%, then it might be a different story. But not as they're currently designed.
Hit/exp. Exp = twice as valuable as hit. Period.
Now, in 4.3 - I don't think they're going to make the active tanking switch in 4.3 - why? For the reason they released 4.0.1 a month before cata dropped. To give everyone a chance to get used to the changes. They would really screw with 4.3 progression if 75% (or more) of all tanks out there had to relearn how to tank while advancing through progression content.
I think you'll see the active tanking changing in 5.0.1, released ~month before 5.0.3 - the launch of the next x-pac, and not before then.
However - if 4.3 does contain the active tanking changes - I think we need to see the changes first before assigning any value to hit/exp above the current value (worthless and only slightly less worthless).
There is going to be a big difference between if an attack has to land versus if it just can't miss to gain the benefit. If an attack has to land, Exp will be far better than hit. If it just doesn't need to miss, then hit becomes mandatory (much like when it was for taunt swapping) and expertise is ignored.
Then there is also the elephant in the room - what happens to rage generation. If Blizzard turns it into a finite source, how is it generated? Through abilities? Or only through RNG of attacks landing.
Really - there is too much unknown at this point for 4.3/5.0.3 to make anything other than speculations as to what it will be like.

Krill Oil The New Omega-3
20 people found the following review helpful
Posted by KiMaLi on Apr 18, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
Krill oil is a very good source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. It has all of the benefits of your typical fish oils without those annoying "fish burps" coming to haunt you later on. Our "favorite TV Dr. Oz" highly recommends krill oil over the regular fish oils. It is said to be much better and more effective in a much smaller dosage.

After chemo and lot's of fysical problems after this period I started using these for my nerve system. This was partly destroyed because of chemo.Also for problems sleeping. I have no words to describe the difference! After 14 days daily use the progress is incredible surprising for me. I'm so greatfull to get a part of my live back.

I have tried krill oil several times. It does the following things in a dose-dependent pattern: - Raises my heart rate after a few days - Causes mild discomfort in lower digestive tract - Is kind of invigorating for a few hours - this is because of the choline content. Claims are made that krill oil is absorbed better than fish oil, but there is no evidence to support this. The amount of astaxanthin in krill oil is trivial. One company, Neptune, is behind the push. I eventually gave up on it and returned to the excellent products made by Minami (available here at iherb) and OmegaBrite.

NKO is a product that I have realized is very important for my overall health. It is great for women's hormones and moods, and I am in the menopausal years. I ran out of it for three weeks last summer, and became very depressed. I did not think about the Krill. After starting it up again, I immediately felt alot better, after just two days. I asked my neurolink practitioner if this had anything to do with it, and he said "absolutely." I've been fine ever since. I'm amazed that this has had such an impact. I won't be running out of it again.

Tanner receives no local taxpayer money, and its nonprofit status means that all revenues the health system generates are reinvested to provide improved facilities and new technologies for the communities it serves.
As a community-based healthcare provider, Tanner is committed to ensuring that every person in our region has access of the medical services they need, regardless of ability to pay. In Fiscal Year 2008-2009, Tanner provided about $28 million in indigent and charity care.
Contributions to Tanner Medical Foundation's Indigent Care Fund help to offset the cost of charity care and bad debt, enabling Tanner to further expand its mission to provide a complete continuum of care to the residents of west Georgia and east Alabama. It also provides funding that enables Tanner to offer important routine health screenings, such as annual mammograms for women, to people who could not otherwise afford them.
Many contributions to the Indigent Care Fund are grass-roots fundraising events organized by the community, such as the Ruby C. Green Memorial Yard Sale held each year by West Georgia Ambulance. This annual fundraiser, held in memorial of a paramedic who passed away due to breast cancer, exemplifies how area businesses and organizations can work on a very local level to have a tremendous regional impact.
Support the Indigent Care Fund through a gift to Tanner Medical Foundation.

There's three ways to tank phase 1:
1) solo tank it. Have the OT help pick stuff up and interrupt the shaman but otherwise just let the MT tank it all. This will require some really good cooldown usage by the MT, especially during warsong.
2) 1 tank on boss, the other on adds... as much as possible. Similar to strat one, but the OT will constantly taunt off all adds as much as possible when warsong hits and just fight for as much aggro as possible. If you have a prot war they can use vigilance to infinite taunt adds off during a warsong (usually the 2nd).
3) Tank Swap: What this is is one tank starts off on the boss, builds vengeance, when the adds spawn, both tanks help pick up adds (which is really best for any scenario) but then then MT will AOE threat to get the adds, then when garrosh does his warsong to empower the adds, the OT (who before this should have no aggro on anything) taunts garrosh, and then its his/her turn to build up vengeance.
The 3rd is probably the most elegant, my guild used #2, mainly because I wasn't raid leading and tanks get threat epeen/damage happy sometimes and wanna see that 500k+ dps and don't care if the OT is floundering around 100k dps b/c he/she doesn't have threat on anything. I've done #1 before too in PuGs.

Bags 4 Darfur
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Some time ago, a blogger friend of mine provided a link on her site to the crisis in Darfur. Thus began an online conversation about our responsibility as being in the priveleged minority on this planet. God gave me a passion to create bags and send the proceeds to provide food and shelter aid to the peoples of Darfur, Sudan. This project seems to be exploding. It is impossible to stockpile bags, as they sell very quickly and get constructed in the "spare time" of my life as full-time family daycare operater, mother of four children, and keeper of the grounds.
It has been an unbelievably fulfilling ride to combine several passions in this project. Listening to the small, still, easily ignored voice of God. Combining a passion (compulsion) for thrifting with a passion to create with needle and thread. Using reclaimed fabrics rich with imagined history and sending them back out into the world to begin anew.
Now skirts, jeans, curtains, quilts, tea towels, kitchen aprons, flour sacks, couches, belts, neckties, bedspreads, and table cloths are being casually slung over shoulders from across the prairies, over the mountains, and over oceans. The joy and connectedness spreads right around the world.
From off my shoulder and through my heart, welcome to the Darfur project.

B.B.C. Talks Department
Draft synopsis of treatment for
A series of talks and discussions to analyze the nature of Britain's economic problems and to suggest ways of thinking and action.
Talks: BRITAIN'S CRISIS - THE CHALLENGE TO ACTION
by Graham Hutton - Wednesdays 9.15 - 9-30 p.m.
Discussions: BRITAIN'S CRISIS - WAYS AND MEANS
Under the Chairmanship of Sir George Schuster -
Thursdays 9.15 - 10.00 p.m.
I. May 7th Talk
What crisis? Is it just an economic crisis? What is the full nature of the problem? To state economic targets is not all if it. The problem touches all branches of national and individual life, mental and material, and must be solved in all of them. Simple statement of economic facts: 48 million people need more production to keep them alive.
What do we mean by asking for more output and more work?
Do we mean more work or better work?
May 8th Discussion
Is it just a question of working harder?
Sir George Schuster (Chairman)
Sir Norman Kipping (Director General of the F.B.I.)
Lewis Ord (Expert in American and British Production methods)
George Woodcock (Assistant General Secretary of the T.U.C.)
II May 4th Talk
Our changed economy.
General summary of shortages - backlog of war, loss of foreign investments - our new status of debtor instead of creditor.
What being a debtor nation means: how do the emphases of our economy shift as a result? The bases are exports, fuel and manpower. What we have got to produce to maintain our present drab standard of living.
May 15th Discussion
What standards can we afford?
Can we afford increased public services? Must we change our national way of life?
III May 21st Talk
Reserves of energy. The resources we have to juggle with.
Fuel, electricity, power = material limits
Manpower however distributed = human limits
It's no good having too much manpower and not enough fuel power

Movement 1: Introitus Requiem aeternam
Movement 2: Kyrie
Movement 3: Tractus Absolve, Domine
Movement 4: Offertorium Domine Jesu Christe
Movement 5: Sanctus and Benedictus
Movement 6: Agnus Dei
Movement 7: Communio Lux aeterna
The Introit is the most conventional movement, with the chant in long notes in the tenor initially; for the Psalm verse 'et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem' ('and the vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem') the texture becomes homophonic with a straight falsobordone harmonization of the Psalm tone in the top voice. After the mandatory repeat of the opening section the Kyrie adopts a similar homophonic style, though Clemens begins to vary his choice of harmonies, notably by introducing an unexpected final chord for the Christe section. The Tract follows the plainsong into a different tonal area, reverting to a more imitative texture. Having created the dialogue between these two styles, Clemens begins in the latter part of the Tract to mingle them, first introducing harmonic twists (perhaps significantly at the word 'evadere'), then underlining the sentiment of the final text phrase with a general pause and homophonic texture.
The Offertory is both the central movement and the longest, at 4'30". In the main it is rapid, moving in fast semibreves and homophonically. The final line of the first section, 'quam olim Abrahae promisisti' ('as long ago you promised Abraham') is more relaxed in spirit, yielding to chant (taken here by the women) and, following a further energetic verse, returning to round off the movement in a reflective vein.
Like the Kyrie, the Sanctus and Agnus Dei are both short, but here—especially in the Agnus—Clemens is at his most ingenious in avoiding unnecessary repetition. Each invocation of the Agnus Dei ends on a slightly different chord: the final one is forced by the melodic shape of the top voice to finish in the minor, unusually for any Renaissance piece but especially for a Requiem movement since the chants are largely in the major mode (which at this time lacked any connotation of happiness, being regarded rather more as harsh). Finally the Communion Proper completes the Mass in tender fashion, with a return to the 'Requiem aeternam' text and almost static chords for its response 'et lux perpetua luceat eis' ('and let perpetual light shine on them'), followed by a lightly ornamented repeat of the line 'quia pius es' ('since you are merciful'). Clemens's Requiem Mass may be one of the less demonstrative sixteenth-century settings of these texts, eschewing the compositional virtuosity that characterizes his motets, but it achieves a solemn reflectiveness that is highly appropriate musically for this ritual of mourning.

Some Numbers on Bye Weeks, Folk in the CrunchPosted by on October 23, 2012 – 5:01 pm
By the by, it's time again to talk about the bye.
No, not the Jets' bye week, which comes the week after Sunday's game against Miami at MetLife Stadium. Maybe the banged-up Jets could use a vacation, even some good fraction of a week, but as Herm Edwards said back in 2004: "You don't have to worry the week before about what happens in the bye week. It's like going to school at the end of the year. School ends Friday, Wednesday you're worried about what you're going to do Friday, then you screw the test up Thursday and you gotta go to summer school."
A potential danger for the Jets, though, is that the Dolphins are coming off their bye. Does that fact in itself suggest that the 'Fins are more dangerous than usual to the Jets' psyche and their desire to sweep their friends from the South?
The current data suggests the bye week does help teams, although not a lot. From 2002 through this past week's games, teams coming off their byes (not counting when two teams coming off byes meet each other) have done fairly well at 162-128, a .559 winning percentage. That's pretty much what homefield advantage used to be in the NFL.
So for the sake of argument, teams playing the week after their bye, regardless of where they play, see their chances improve to the chances of winning a home game.
That wouldn't be good for the Jets.
On the other hand, if this year's new, improved homefield rising tide — home teams are 64-40 this season, a brisk .615 winning clip — lifts all boats, then the Jets could be buoyed by their home crowd and the Dolphins' bye-week edge could be neutralized.
How about teams playing games before their bye weeks? Does that help any?
Don't laugh. I asked Edwards about that about a decade ago and he agreed that teams heading into byes — as long as they weren't worrying about summer vacation — could get a boost. Something about being energized by wanting to go into the bye and come out of it with some momentum for a big second-half push.
Do the numbers support this theory? Yes and no.
If you go by the 2010 and '11 seasons, games before byes were a good thing. Teams produced a 31-19 record in those games, a .620 winning percentage.
But this advantage seems to come and go every few years (or doesn't really exist). In 2006, NFL teams in before-bye games were 12-20, in '09 they were 12-18, and so far this year they're a paltry 4-12. The bottom line: From 2002 through Week 7, before-bye teams were 148-148. That's a coin flip.
How about the Jets and Dolphins alone? The Dolphins are 4-6 since '02 in post-bye games. This includes last year's 24-6 Monday night loss to the Jets. The Jets are 4-6 in pre-bye games since '02, but have won three of their last four — thumping Arizona in '08, squeezing by the then-Tebowing Broncos in Denver in '10 and rerouting Philip Rivers and San Diego last season.
In fact, the Chargers came to MetLife off their bye last year, which anecdotally suggests that maybe pre-bye teams have an edge over post-bye teams. Eh, not so much. Since '09, pre-byes and post-byes have met 16 times. The record: 8-8.
I honestly wanted to bring you some telling trend on bye-week team performances in advance of the Jets-Dolphins, but apparently I feel strongly both ways.
But Chad Pennington left no doubt about his feelings when asked before the Jets' pre-bye game at Cleveland back in '06.
"We know it's important to win every game," Pennington said. "in this league you can't say, 'Well, we can drop a game here and we can let off in this area,' because you never know what game is going to be a deciding factor on whether or not you're able to make it into the playoffs. So every game is important for us."
Interestingly, Pennington's Jets lost that road game at Cleveland, 20-13, to settle at 4-4 at the bye, then won six of their last eight to finish 10-6 and reach the playoffs.
Folk Tales
Here's a strange note about Nick Folk. Whenever his NFL team gives up an early kickoff-return touchdown, he kicks a late long-range field goal.
In 2007, Terrence McGee had a kickoff return for Buffalo, but Folk nailed a 53-yard FG with no time on the clock at Ralph Wilson Stadium to complete the Cowboys' memorable 25-24 Monday night comeback win over the Bills. The next year J.J. Arrington took one to the house for Arizona, but Folk's 52-yarder, again at 0:00, sent that game to overtime, where the Cardinals won, 30-24.
Then on Sunday, Devin McCourty cut loose for his 104-yard first-quarter return. Folk responded with one of his best games as a Jet, going 4-for-4 with makes from 54, 43 and 43 yards. The final 43 gave the Jets their short-lived 26-23 lead with 1:37 to play.
That may be strange coincidence, but this about Folk is money in the bank: He has moved to second-best among all NFL kickers (since 1991, including playoffs, at least six tries) in fourth-quarter FG percentage. Folk is 41-for-43 (95.3%) in fourth-quarter kicks. First is Denver's Matt Prater (28-for-29, 96.6%). Third is New England's Stephen Gostkowski (48-for-51, 94.1%), who kicked the game-tying FG as time ran out in regulation and the gamewinner in OT.

Why did we give up a 4th rnd draft pick for Teebow if we dont use him?That 4th rnd pick could bbe used for aneeded linebacker of recver…I think the best option for the Jets would be to consider trading Reevis for two first rounders and couple of 3's from a hungry NFC team like Dallas or Green Bay…the team is in need of linebackers recvers and OL in next two drafts this could do it..just a thought for Tannenbaun to consider……

what will it bring, are they going to Tebow, which most analyst said would happen if sanchez struggled, of course he had a good game with Romo like misques, and that was probably his second best outing of the year. I would like the to let him run the offense, get another vet in at wideout, and back off the ground and pound thing. Its his future they put alot into Sanchez. If his confidence is up play him if not sit him. I will be at the game right behind them. 4-4 at the buy I will take thinking it was going to be alot worse, and the Pats playing just as well and only one game up. But a warning this is NY dont loose this week.

It's time to put the Aussie TE into the lineup. He's big and strong and fast and nobody is going to be able to stop him. If he makes a few mistakes, big deal, he won't be doing any worse than the rest of the team. He carried a whole rugby team on his back and he can carry a few tacklers past the markers. He's an easy target for sanchez against those itty bitty DBs.

Folk so far is having a great year. I think Brown really pushed him this summer and now is paying off. Hope it continues.
This weeks game vs the Fish is so important to both teams. I believe the team thats loses this game will fall out of the race to stay in the mix for a WC spot. The Jets MUST win this game. I don't care how they must find a way. Its time to step up and win a big game. Its not going to be easy i think the Fish are a good team and their D will surely push the Jets. Good thing is they have Keller this time around who owns the Fish. Sanchez has to be on his game this week there is no way the Jets are going to be able to run the ball this week. I would be shocked if they can rush for 100 yds as a team.

Just a couple of ramblings in the middle of the week. Top RBs can all run between the tackles or go wide when needed. Greene has not shown that he can do this. He is a decent back but as a #1 RB we need one with more versitility. That could be McKnight but if not lets look for a RB with these attributes. Note to Rex: NOT another FB. Only 7 games into season but those who complained about Landry should be silenced. I hope he is signed long term or he will be in NE next year.Watched Montana's 10 best games. Now while Montana was special he was a 3rd round pick. So many of his passes were short BUT YAC was fantastic because he almost always put the ball where it was easy to catch and in stride with the WR for YAC.

Spicer…so comical. I only come out of the wood work when the team loses? really? I have been posting year round on this site since Randy started the radar. Again you show how small you are….attacking me is not going to make Jamarcus Sanchez any better. As a matter of fact it is comical how all the apologists continue to blame everything around Sanchize-Not for his abysmal play. The O-line stinks, the O-Coordinators fault, the receivers dropping passes and our RB's stink…yada yada.
The one constant in all of this is Jamarcus Sanchez and his lousy numbers over the last 4 years and being consistantly in the bottom of the QB rankings. Other than the team carrying him in the playoffs the first 2 years and giving him a 4-2 playoff record…

…He absolutely stinks and I am tired of rehashing his deficiencies. We are in year 4 of Mangini with this guy and I am done. We need a new QB its that simple and until we get one it this team will never win a championship that window closed already.
As for our D I said iyt before the season with Revis. I posted here that we should trade him no one other than the QB is worth 15-16 Mil per year. The best thing that ever happened to this team was losing out on Asomugha. Now that Revis is hurt we probably wont get the high draft picks we could have gotten for him. The D is playing better with him out of the line up. Trufant played Welker better than any DB on our roster ever has. We still can't cover the TE's Davis was awful in pass coverage.

These are some of the guys who have caught passes from Mark Sanchez this year. This shows you 3 things 1 MR.T has given him no weapons to throw to 2 The amount of injurys we have had 3 That Mark has been throwing to a bunch of scrubs. 1 Dedrick Epps 2 Jonathan Grimes 3 Lex Hiliard 4 John Conner 5 Konrad Reuland 6 Jason Hill 7 Clyde Gates 8 Patrick Turner 9 Chaz Schilens 10 Jeff Cumberland. Talk about the Bad News Bears. Clearly Holmes being out the last 4 games & being out for the year, Keller missing 5 games & Stephen Hill missing 3 games has hurt the Jets & Mark Sanchez. I think it is safe to say if we had Holmes, Keller & Hill for the whole year the Jets would have at least 1 more win maybe 2 (Pats & Texans)

Sanchez had a good game, the turnovers were not really his fault. He is getting better every game and every season so far. Maybe if he had a little more FAN SUPPORT he would do MUCH better. I for one am sick of reading these concieted no-it-alls like jet fan 64 what-ever-its is puting down this team. Mark Is a good QB and he already proved that in big games. Not his fault with all the injuries and Tebow coming in and out like musical chairs I just don.t think so called fans like jet fan whossit are good for this team, the just think the are so cool and like to hear themselfes talk, no real knowledge of the sport. You can tell this so called "jet fan" never played the game or any sports, except maybe golf, like many of us did by what he writ

Spicer, the problem is that Sanchez doesn't throw consistently accurately enough no matter how good the protection is or who the receivers are. At this pt, any Jet fan who doesn't see this simply isn't watching the games very closely. 4 yrs is a long tome for any QB to be making the same mistakes that MS is making. If he doesn't completely turn it on and play lights out the rest of the yr, there's no real argument for keeping him because he'll never work as a #2 in this town. As for Tebow, he should be traded immediately for whatever we can get.

Frank I totally agree. Spicer is there anyone anyone else you'd like to blame other than the real culprit. Were any of the players you mention taken # 5 in the draft, were any of them paid millions, were any of these players responsible for him constantly turning the ball over every time we need him to deliver, are any of them solely responsible for him being Ranked near or at the bottom since he arrived,I'm getting so tired of your constantly blaming everyone else on this team and apologizing for him, He just can't cut it, Next, Time to Package Holmes and Revis send them to some other deserving team and address our real needs. First and foremost a QB, Big Blocking TE, and Pass rusher

When someone told me about this site and I checked it out it is so weird. You got guys like jet fan whatever that post these long rambling none stop posts It's like they eat thier meals at the computer so they can wait to read their stuff and they know the least about the game. Then you have these guys that post short and once in awhile and they know alot about the game. It is all backwards. To the ones that post non stop, all day long. the long winded ones like jet tom whatever who don.t make any real contribution cause they never played, all I can say is man you got to get a life, your the ruin of this site, surprised they don.t cut you off after 10 in one day.

If the jets are going to do checkdowns put Reuland in the backfield,he can block and he has shown better hands and more speed then Greene.what is the over under on how many more games we see Pace and Scott as starters.Pace has never been the same since he had the foot injury and Scott hasn't been the same since he left the side of Ray Lewis.

Spicer, for just a few minutes lets put aside all the other Jets inadequacies, and I would be the first to agree they have others besides the QB. But agree or not, like it or not, the QB is the focal point of any pro team. You should know that as well as any of us because you constantly bring up the 2 championships HE led us to. I think the difference between you and most others on this site is the fact that you are OK when he has a "decent" game, ecstatic when he has a "good" game. But in the grand scheme of things, is that really acceptable? Is having a good game every once in a while really acceptable? Has it gotten us a win over a top team anytime recently? What he needs to be is consistently "good" and even that is setting the bar a little to low.
By scjoe on Oct 24, 2012 | Reply
Spicer, just to continue, what type game would you say Sanchez had this past Sunday? Considering the INT, the 2 fumbles, taking those 2 sacks at probably THEE most inopportune time, and missing on at least a half dozen passes, would you say it was a "decent" game? A "good" game? A "great" game? For me, I would give him the benefit of the doubt and say he played a "decent" game. I believe that if he had played a "very good" game or a "great" game the Jets win! Would you agree with that statement?
By scjoe on Oct 24, 2012 | Reply
Spicer, how many other teams out there have a full stable of "elite" WRs for their QB to throw to? I would say the "average" team has one good receiver (whether that is a WR or a TE) and a few other workable receivers. Sure, there are a few teams out there who have one "elite" receiver, then there are those who don't even have one "good" one, so I based the "average" on those stats. So I would have to disagree with that being any kind of legimate excuse. Other "franchise" QBs do it

Frank, Thats is correct Trufant kept Welker in check. Their coverage and blitz schemes are different now without Revis but he will be 28 or 29 and this team as a lot of holes to fill. While i would love to see Revis finish out his career with the Jets i think the smart football move is to trade him when the time comes and get as many picks as you can or keep him and then trade Cro. Can't keep both it makes no sense.

In the prior post SCJoe said the Jets have to win 2 out of there next 4 to still be in playoffs contention. I will go a step further the Jets have to win 3 out of the next 4 to still be in playoff contention. 1 We have to beat Miami at home 2 We have to beat the Rams on the road. To have any hope of winning the division we have to beat the Pats next time we play them at home or in order to still be in playoff contention we have to beat the Seahawks on the road. If we are not at least 6 & 5 after the next 5 weeks. IT IS OVER!

The Jets went to NE and lost. Well, every team loses at NE. You say there's no talent, everyone's a bust. We went to NE without our #1 CB, vet safety, #1 & #2 NTs, etc., and held Brady's offense to 17 points in regulation. But, you say there's no talent. Then, Rex and MP are colossal geniuses.
We went to NE without our #1 WR, #2 RB, #3 TE & a hobbled #3 RB, and moved the ball 400+ yards with play action, receivers open all over the field and more opportunities for enough yards to win. But, you say there's no talent. Then, Tony is a colossal genius. I'll wait for Eric, Ellis, Sione, Powell, McKnight, Nick and even Gates to heal. I'll wait for the college kids to learn the ropes in the pros. You SAY there's no talent. We'll see.

Just listened to Rex's news conference. Many people complain about Belichic being boring and saying the same thing but Rex and Sanchez in a better way say the same thing. I am still sitting in disbeleif about Sanchez's "Giddy" comment. How can you be "giddy" when you lose a game? Especially while blame, not all of it, sits on you. I think Rex can motivate but I would give Sporano his walking papers if we are out of playoff contension. Hire an interm you can evalute for next year. Find out what Jay Gruden contract has left. No one would disagree that we need better WRs. I think a valid #1 is all we need. Kerley will do well in the slot, Hill should improve and the rest are OK as backups. More important than that is a QB who knows how to play

Sorry ran out of space. The QB needs to see the field, understand defences, make quick SOLID decisions, and limit errors. The early comparrisons to Cam and Sanchez are coming true BUT not in the way we hoped. Tebow needs to go. He is an obstacle to Sanchez and having a viable backup. We need to see if McElroy can play before we release him and he goes to a pro bowl. When a game gets out of hand, and one will, put him in and see if preseason results in prime time are Montana or Ratcliff. Sanchez is a nice had working player, BUT like Tebow is not an Elite QB and never will be. Check out the QBs of winning SB teams and even losers. Sorry Spicer his playoff wins and AFC Champ. losses have worn off. The NFL is, "What have you done lately!

Fortunately when this season is over, we will have our answer about Sanchez.
Those here who defend him, keep bringing up his lack of receiver's around him. I think that is an excuse. I have seen and played against many good QBs who made their receivers. Receivers who were nobody's until the QB played well.
I said before that I think he works hard and that he is a good guy, but I am not a Sanchez supporter. I don't see the leadership and woeful inconsistency are the road blocks to him being a good QB.
But we still have nine games to play for him to turn it around. I don't think he will

SCJoe, "Considering the INT, the 2 fumbles, taking those 2 sacks" 1 He threw A pick even the best of the best throw a pick a game 2 2 fumbles I only remember 1? 3 taking 2 sacks? I only remember 1 of the sacks but that sack he had a defender around his legs & he was trying to throw the ball. Nickovish hit him he lost the ball after the game. Mark said he never saw Nickovich. I would say if a guy hits you that you dont see that is not "taking a sack". Everyone misses passes every week multiple passes. He completed 68% of his passes how many is he supposed to complete 80% that is not realisitc. Also 90 rating, 68% completion percentage, 328 passing yards & 6 completions over 20 yards is hardly a "decent" day cause if that is than 90% of NFL

If the rambling of frustrated jet fans has any impact on the way anyone plays, they should be playing sandlot or in Canada.

If he gets off the top of the list in missed open recivers attemts. Maybe he will be average!

I'm sure Mark Sanchez would be a great guy to invite over to a barbecue. I'm sure he loves his mother and brushes his teeth twice a day. The problem with him is he is not and never will be an elite NFL Quarterback. He doesn't have the instints to see the blitz and dump it off. He telegraghs his passes to whomever he intends to throw it to. His specialty is the 5-10 yarder straight up the middle and he is only 50-50 on target with them. He doesn't know when NOT to throw it. He is not very good at escaping the defensive lineman who's passed his blocker. Al in all I think Eva Longoria was right- It is time to dump Mark Sanchez. Trade him if we can, or make him backup. Give Tebow one or two games to prove himself and then try McElroy.

I'm sorry, I can't and will never support trading Revis. He's the Ray Lewis of our team. I can't even begin to think of him in another uniform. Those of you that are calling for trading him, I pose this question, do you trust our front office (Mike T, and Woody) to use the picks we would get for him wisely? I don't think they will use them correctly. We will end up with more first round busts and watching a once in a generation player play in another uniform. Maybe if we had Bill Parcels incharge of our player personel then okay, but I'm sorry I can't see trading Darrelle for draft picks that have a 75% chance of flopping.

Well, we lead in something. This is also for you, reno, since you're such an astute observer of QB play: "In a Sports Illustrated poll that asked 180 NFL players to identify their most overrated peer, two New York Jets quarterbacks came out on top — or bottom, depending on how you look at it. Tim Tebow was pegged as most overrated by a whopping 34 percent of players. The man he backs up, Mark Sanchez, was second with 8% of the vote."

I continue to point to those in the NFL circle as valid consideration of where Mark's skills stand. NFL Network last night: entire panel said they would take Tannehill at this point over Sanchez "has not showed any improvement", Now the current players rate him among the most over-rated. It's not just a bunch of "frustrated jocks who hate Mark", he's not getting it done. Period

It's funny that those that have dissed Cam as over-rated are now seeing the same "he has no one around him" comments being made. You can't say it for Mark and not allow some leeway to the other.
On to more pressing matters…I agree w Ira that the Fish will absolutely take away the run this week. I sincerely hope we trade Tebow, but while we have him lets be creative, man, I watch college teams work the wildcat in outrageous, tough to defend ways.
