Its fun watching the young kids play. They never quit in each game.

They had a running game unlike this Bills team.

Then why bother being a Bills Backer in LA. Why not cheer for the LA team since the Bills will never win. I'm expecting them to lose this week and New England to win. That's the way it's going to play out right?

It's not just one game. They didn't look against Miami last week either. The offense has been off for most of the year. Teams are figuring them out. Til the start running the ball consistently they will have games they struggle in.

I would hold off on that. They are missing a few top players. When you don't have much depth it's going to hurt them a lot. They also have played 6 games in 8 nights. At least they are still scoring and giving effort every night. For those upset on the losses, why not watch Rochester?

It would have helped their power play at least. At least the goaltending is keeping them in games this year so far. It's much better then previous seasons.

I think it is. The injuries have played a big part. They don't have to depth to have top guys missing a few games. My hope is they can stay in the race til Tuch and the others come back from injury.

Agreed. I think the injuries have caught up to them right now. Last night showed how much they miss Olofsson, Jokiharu and Middlestadt.

If Eichel was healthy they would have got more. When you look at his salary, the fact he is injured, and that he may not come back to playing as he was, this was the best they were going to get. I personally think it's a great deal. Krebs is highly rated and Tuch is good. Now with 3 1st rounders this year the can add a bunch of pieces next season.

Last night they played pretty good. It shows how the lack of depth affects them. I expect them to win tomorrow against Seattle who haven't been that good.

Same can be said for the Bills too. Wins against Miami twice, Houston Washington aren't impressive either.

To be honest what bothers me is not so much you don't want to watch them right now due to them not being good. What bothers me is those who only look at the box score and say look they lost again. Same old Sabres.

The goalie tandem is set this way to buy time til UPL is ready. I do think they some great players coming up. I expect next season to be the one they breakout if UPL is ready. Quinn and Powers should be on the roster next season.

Question for you. If the play this style of hockey all season but still finish bottom 5 would that be good enough for you?

Partially it's the same. From the way he posted if they go on a big losing streak and finish at the bottom again, its a failure. Where I differ is that this season shouldn't necessarily be about winning. Wins are great if they get them but my focus is on seeing them keeping playing this type of hockey all season. They will have nights where they don't score a lot as they don't have a lot of high scoring players yet.

The difference for me is I'm not expecting much from them this year. There is probably going to losing streaks. My focus for this season is to see them play this way all year. If they can keep up with this style of play for the majority of the year then I will be impressed. Winning is nice, but seeing them grow is what this season is about.

@BillsFan4 what's with the eye roll? Bills fans had no issue sticking around when they sucked.

They are exciting to watch. It's too bad so many only look at results and have no interest in watching the players grow. For those that have given up on them, don't bother coming back we don't need you.

They probably will have trouble scoring some nights and not likely going to be a playoff team this year. Most people weren't expecting that. My hope is they continue to play like they have in the first 2 games. Watching the young players grow is what this year is about. I'm tired of the scoreboard watching fans of this team.

I know it's tough to have faith in Adams. I do think they have found their coach. I think Granato is going to be good. He's got them playing exciting hockey. I don't expect playoffs but I would be happy if they play like this all year.

The Bills haven't looked that good so far either. They lost to mediocre Steelers team. The two teams they beat so far aren't very good.

It's the most open cause the AFC teams have all looked mediocre so far. None of them look in the same league as the Bucs and Rams

Chase Young is going to have to biggest impact.

I'm actually excited to see the young guys on the team. They may not win a lot but they should be fun to watch.

This is why I stopped posting for awhile here. Too many box score Warriors. Bet most of you just look at the final score. I don't think they are garbage at all. I think they are a .500 team. I think the after affects from the guys getting Covid took a lot out of them. In the losing streak by the 3rd period many guys were out of gas. You probably never noticed as you just looked at the box score and never watched.
