Weak schedule like Citadel? If you want to mop them you have to play them. Auburn was favored by 10 in the Peach Bowl IIRC. But this year it's different.

We need more teams like Michigan being ranked ahead of a team that hasn't lost in 2 years. Because$$$$$$$$$.

Denver's defense that year was far different than NE's this year.

Ref help and cheating?

I don't get how they paint it then erase it so quickly.

Moron 15 year olds didn't bring a GPS?

At least it wasn't David Carr.

Oh the hairs that will be split in defense of Kim Jung QB.

These productions are great. They hired somebody good to put them together.

That puts you nine steps ahead of me because there is a long list of stuff I don't get.

"The core is forming" are the most important four words in your post. The winning streak is awesome, your other points are valid, but these wins counted for two points each. The Sabres will be better in May than they are now and having banked these points while learning is awesome. I can see bumps coming in 18-19 but it is becoming difficult to see anything but success for this core long term.

Right. Because there was never a year when Luck got hurt and Hasselbeck came in and produced a better winning percentage. I mean other than 2016. So once every two thousand and sixteen years it could happen. They also went 0-16 last year. At least I think so.

So like playing poorly but getting a good score?

I'm pretty sure it was within his first 3 years or whatever artificial standard we've shifted today to fit the Kim Jung QB narrative.

Upstart teams from smaller conferences should have to go undefeated for 17 years straight before having an opportunity at a playoff. Furthermore they should not be scheduled by the big boys who have better things to do, like tying Citadel for 30 minutes. In other words, the system is working perfectly.

Why the picture of Mr. Wrwrrwarwwrowrw's favorite band with the giant eyeballs?

No way. He's been decent but he splits carries with Hines. MVP? Shirley you can't be serious.

If the Blues end up in the lottery do we still get the pick?

With Thompson I can see the shot and the movement is decent from a lateral standpoint. I think the physical stuff can develop. I just don't see the speed.

Dahlin struggled but was good in the 3rd. I agree with the takes on Hutton who looks like the real deal to me. I'm sure there will be a rough patch at some point but you can just see the foundation being built. Is it just me or does Eichel just exude the look of a leader more than he has before? I agree with your comments about Middlestadt. Hands of gold. The Sabres are so damn young. We have to have the all time acne record in the NHL.

Dahlin leveled that dude on the Crruba collision thing. Here's something funny. Three years from tonight what will his game be like? And he will be 21! That isn't real is it?

Outstanding. We were supposed to be thrilled to get 5 points out of that 4 game gauntlet right? How about 8? Let's see if they can handle the press clippings they are about to get and that are richly deserved. Handling success is a step in the growth process.

Luck is in his 7th year. Let's make sure we judge him on his first three years against the Texans, Titans and Jags who were all atrocious. Let's claim nobody had a better first three years even though Brady won a Super Bowl as a rookie and Warner was ok his first year too. Make sure not to look at 2016 when Luck blew two easy 4th down plays which cost the Colts a playoff spot. He is simply the best QB since Elway. Nobody has been better. I am convinced he has lived up to everything expected of him and more.

His billing was as the top prospect of all time. He is not the greatest player of all time. You say he has lived up to his billing. I'm the crazy one. Okay. Not a cult at all. Forget Brees at 9-1. It's all about Kim Jung QB. 5-5 > 9-1.

We could have a new thread every year like the Andrew Luck excuse threads.
