May Day 10

The predictable 3 runs up the middle into the arms of 7 linemen, the kicking a risky field goal (or taking the delay of game and punting) needs to go. I dont believe KC does that and McDermott has a history of these kinds of stall-outs. Need some sort of Allen rollout play where he can run, have someone for that little shove pass, or go down in emergency, at least on 3rd down. You have the best offensive player in the nfl and you take him out of the game basically when the chips are in and you can end it.

This There was immense pressure on the offense and mahomes was on the ropes. I actually figured it was a chiefs timeout. McDermott gave them a chance to take a breath, regroup, and Andy Reid scheme. Then the bills defense looked unorganized which is what a timeout is supposed to prevent in the first place.

It stinks. Finally saw a pass rush for 7 quarters and it was glorious

Mahomes was under constant pressure and the second wave contained him and was ready to mash. Allen did look calm, cool, and composed. Threw some really nice balls.

Hoping its just a popped calf

Here comes tecmo Joe Brady

Where did this defense come from? KC's only offense is fluke plays

It didnt look like that tip even changed the trajectory much. Mahomes was still donking it off

Through 3 quarters, this defense has come to play. They look formidable and KC's only plays seem to be flukey prayer passes

I guess kc can stop the game to cry?

Brady's playbook

Its a valid gameplan to dump it to Shakir and hope he beats 5-7 defenders for 10 yards

That Shakir pass was so predictable

Cole f'ing Bishop

How awesome would it be if Cole bishop is really good now?

Ugh. Hopefully they dont need that

Joe Brady is great 1st drive of each half. The rest is awful unless Cook can get 6 yards a carry

I don't think they will ever get it correct under Ross. Grier had a great rebuild going. They were flush with assets and Flores seemed to be building a good culture and they were playing with pride. In 1 season they went from being in the conversation as the worst team ever, to being a somewhat dangerous opponent the last half of the season. Had a couple decent years, and that was it. They went with McDaniel and Tua was a poor choice. They hemorrhaged assets on shiny pieces and created a country club in a place where it is easy for young millionaires to become distracted.

A new GM in the situation Miami is in should have zero issue with trading within the division. It really doesnt matter. By the time Miami is ready to contend, the player would likely be a small factor if in Buffalo at all. If it is the best return, then take it regardless. Miami is in a position where they are thinking 3-year plan again.

Im waiting for the catch... but this seems like a very good thing on the surface.

Thats where we took our honeymoon. I think of the workers there and feel sick. Also I think of the ride there from the airport. A lot of poverty and people who probably have nowhere to go and no way to protect their belongings.

They are built like a drought team hoping to snag a wild card. Completely 1-dimensional. Run the ball. This WR room is worse than most Bills drought teams. At least we had Evans and Stevie much of the time.

The problem with the Ravens is there is very little margin for error now. 2 Losses and they might be done. 9-2 is a tough run.

Will Alex Lyon continue his solid goaltending play we have seen so far this season? ChatGPT said: Short Answer Yes — there are strong indications that Alex Lyon can continue playing solidly this season, but with some caveats. His performance to‑date is encouraging, yet sustaining it will depend on context and consistency. What the numbers say Here are some key pieces of data: This season, Lyon is posting a 2.44 GAA and .929 save percentage, which are very good marks. In his most recent shutout (3‑0 win vs. the Florida Panthers on October 18), he stopped all 32 shots. Last season (2024–25) with the Detroit Red Wings he recorded a 2.81 GAA and .896 save percentage over 30 games. He has spoken about his desire for greater consistency and improvement in his game. Some forecasting (via RotoWire) sees him in a “20‑30 game starter” role with modest results, citing variance and competition for number‑one duty. Bottom line from the numbers: He’s performing at a higher level than his recent baseline, which is a positive sign. But the leap forward may or may not be fully sustained. Why continuation is plausible Here are reasons to believe he can keep up the good play: Improved metrics — His current save percentage of ~.929 is elite for the early part of a season and suggests he’s locked in. Motivation and mindset — Lyon has explicitly stated he wants more consistency and to improve, rather than rest on past efforts. Opportunity — At Buffalo Sabres, his contract and role give him a legitimate chance for a meaningful workload (a two‑year deal agreed in July 2025). Recent peak performance — The shutout and strong starts indicate he has the capacity for high‑level outings. Risks & reasons it might not last Yet there are several factors that could prevent this performance from being sustained: Small sample size / variance — Goal‑tending is inherently volatile; a few bad starts or high‑shot games can swing the metrics. Underlying team defense / workload — Lyon’s success will depend on the Sabres’ defensive support, shot quality against, and how many games he plays. Competition and role stability — The Sabres still have other goalies in the mix; if the team opts to rotate more or bring up other options, Lyon’s rhythm could be disrupted. Historical baseline — His .896 save percentage last season is significantly lower than this year’s pace; maintaining ~.929 over a full season is a tall order. Fatigue / injury risk — If he picks up a heavy workload, fatigue sets in. Also, earlier in his career he had some injury/usage questions. My verdict Given everything, here’s a reasoned prediction: I expect Lyon to remain a very good goaltender for the Sabres this season — likely a starter or at least major contributor. He may not sustain elite‑level metrics (e.g., a .930+ save percentage and sub‑2.30 GAA for a full season) every night, but a .915‑.925 save percentage and a GAA around 2.40‑2.70 seems quite plausible if things break well. If the Sabres improve defensively and give him strong backup support, he could flirt with above‑average netminding. On the flip side, if the team struggles, his numbers could regress toward his historical baseline (~.900 save percentage). In short: yes — solid play is likely to continue — but I’d avoid assuming he’ll replicate his best games every week.

The cheese wiz actually works.
