Just sign OBJ!

Sucks but oh well. Miami has gone all in for the next couple seasons. It’s going to catch up to them soon enough, especially if they pay Tua (which seems likely). Buffalo is still the better team IMO.

Let them! the bills stayed in nickel. They didn’t suddenly forget how to stop the run (which they’ve done well all season). They let the packers run the ball and kill clock for them.

Unreal game by Tage Thompson! Hat trick and at least 6 points now. He’s scored or assisted on every goal but 1 I think. Last 2 games he’s been playing amazing. Just about Everyone playing well for Buffalo tonight! 8-3 Buffalo! That one sure was fun!

Phew. I can breathe now 😂

Allen had a great first half. No idea what’s happened to him this second half. Defense really needs to step up here and get a stop. They can’t allow another TD.

Ugh Josh. He was wide open!

Big 3rd down here.

Bills might need to check into the safety market before the deadline.

Nice QB sneak!

Packers have made some nice adjustments. The Bills haven’t, especially on defense. (they haven’t really been necessary in offense)

How about that?! Wow. Defense is like “I got your back Josh” 😂

Defense needs to start stopping the run here. It’s really the only thing Green Bay has been able to do tonight. Their offense adjusted and our defense hasn’t really been able to stop it yet.

Nice come from behind win! I was so aggravated after the way they played in the 2nd period. But then they played a much better 3rd and came out with the win. Good job overcoming adversity.

Yeah that could be it, or at least part of it. If he’s injured and can’t pass a physical in March (or whenever it is) they would be on the hook for $17.5M in additional guarantees to the $13 million (or something like that) they’re already on the hook for. It will be interesting to see if they move to Nick Foles if Ehlinger sucks too much, or if they go back to Ryan. That will tell us for sure whether it’s the injury guarantees.

I think Irsay played a big role in that decision.

Nice story. Thanks for sharing! IMO empathy is a very important trait to have. The world needs more of it.

After watching hard knocks my vote is for Dan campbell. He reminds me of Ted Nolan a bit, in that his answer to every problem seems to be “work harder/care more”. work harder is not the answer to every problem. Like, scheme matters. Details matter. Not making stupid mistakes constantly matters 😂 Hmm. That’s a good write in vote. It has me reconsidering my choice now. 🤔😂

The first i had ever seen of this guy was his OBJ tweet. I was skeptical. Now I’m even more skeptical than I was initially. This just feels like someone making stuff up and tweeting it. One of those people who tweet about multiple different teams being a “front runner” for a player in the rumor mill and then claiming he was “right” if that player goes to any of the multiple teams they mentioned.

I actually feel bad for him + Giselle and especially the kids. A divorce is a tough thing to go through. You can see it’s taken a toll on him. I’d bet the same is true of Giselle and the kids. It’s a big life change.

Yeah Peterka has been a pleasant surprise. I thought it might take him some time to find his game after a mediocre preseason but he’s been playing good hockey. It’s weird, Quinn had a pretty good preseason and he’s struggled to start the regular season. Peterka struggled in the preseason but has started the regular season much better than Quinn. 🤷‍♂️ I’m trying not to get nervous about Thompson yet. We need him to be the player he was last season. I’ve seen flashes of that but nothing consistent yet. I just hope last year wasn’t a 1-off…

They still have a LONG ways to go before they could be considered in the Bills tier. I am hopeful that they’re moving in the right direction finally but it’s still too soon for me to say they are with 100% confidence. I definitely think they have more competent coaching and management than they did the last 10 years. But again, time will tell. I like a lot of things Adams and Granato have done, but there’s also things I don’t like. They are still relatively early in this newest rebuild though. NHL rebuilds take a lot longer and it’s much harder to move on from bad contracts. I don’t really see the playoffs are a very realistic possibility this year, especially being in the east. The top 3 teams from each division make it, and then there are 2 wildcard spots. Last year they top 3 teams in the Atlantic by points: 122 115 110 and the 2 wildcard teams had: 107 100 For the Sabres to have a realistic shot at the playoffs means probably at least 100 points. They had 75pts last season. I’d be surprised if they made that type of leap this year. Finishing top 3 in the division seems unrealistic. I don’t see how they finish better than Florida, Toronto, Tampa, Boston. Ottawa made some big improvements in the offseason. So did Detriot. Our best chance is to keep pace with them and hope for one of the final wildcard spots. They also have to outpace the wildcard teams in the metro. Playoffs this year would take some big growth from our younger players. I’m not sure if they’re ready for that yet. Quinn and Peterka should hopefully be big pieces of the team moving forward but both are rookies this year. They still have a lot of young talent outside the NHL too. Some of them need to develop into good NHL players in order to be a perennial playoff contender in the East. I just want to see them at least stay in the wildcard race all season and finish outside of the bottom 10. That would show me things are moving in the right direction. It’s hard to sell another bottom 8-10 finish as improvement.

I’ll give them a pass for yesterday. They didn’t get home from the west coast till late Wednesday night then had to play again Thursday evening. It’s pretty common for teams to struggle after a road trip like that. But they have to get back in the win column next game. They can’t have 3 losses in a row. Chicago is a very beatable team. No excuses. Im hoping for 2 wins in a row here. Chicago, Detroit. Detroit made a lot more additions this offseason than Buffalo did but I still feel like it’s a game Buffalo should win. and I will say, even though the Sabres only made 2 additions this offseason they both look pretty good. Comrie and Lybushkin have both been playing pretty good hockey. I still don’t think it was enough, but it is what it is at this point. what we really need is for Tage Thompson to get going. Skinner too. That whole line needs to get their $#&* together. We need growth from all our young players if they want any chance at staying in the playoff race. That’s what they banked on - the young guys taking a step. I’d say so far only Dahlin has. Maybe Cozens.

If he wasn’t a culture fit with the giants, he wouldn’t be a culture fit here.
