This could not be stated any more perfectly.

Just the angle of the shot, I believe. I heard it was just the tip of his thumb.

Love that guy.

You might also say, "now we'll see what we have in our offensive line."

From SI.com: Sabres superprospect Jack Eichel looks like the real deal They stole my headline!

This was freaking hilarious. My voice is still coming back to me. I love that feeling.

Cue the Whaley haters ragging on the trade. But wait, does that mean Fred's release wasn't because Whaley was trying to save face?

Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia This throw by #Bills QB Tyrod Taylor is the one that defined his game vs the Colts for me. This is on 3rd-and-8. pic.twitter.com/e9z3cUk1iW A link to the video on twitter. Great throw by Tyrod as he takes a shot. Why does he take a shot? Because McCoy whiffs completely on the blitzing safety, instead driving his shoulder directly into Incognito. Not that it means anything, I just thought it was amusing to see him completely miss like that. Of course, that could haunt us in the future if he keeps that up.

Man, you got that right. The Devils players just didn't seem like the same level of competition. Never really provided much of a threat.

Definitely this.

I didn't realize he was working the game. Toward the end of the game, I turned around to look at the press box and saw someone who I thought was Wilcots, but was a little too far away to tell for certain. I thought it might not be him because the box was totally open to the elements, and it was showering a bit at that point, so I couldn't imagine they would be telecasting live while open to the noise and rain. But what do I know...

He won't. He'll dink and dunk to his RBs and slot guys, and then kill us medium/deep over the middle to the TEs.

True, but he had a slight limp on the way back to the huddle...

I suspect most will disagree with that, including mostly importantly Rex. Man loves his top-notch corners, so I suspect he's near the top of Whaley's list of resignings.

No kidding! Wish I could be there next week as well. If the Bills can find a way to win, the Ralph is going to go completely insane.

I think you pretty much answered your own question there.

Had an awesome time at the game, and an awesome weekend! In addition, Jimbo came down and sat in the stands two rows in front of me for one series in the second half...

Awesome pics. Wish I could be you!

Yeah, just missing the preseason game on the 23rd.

Takeaways, for those interested: Eichel is as billed. He's a maestro out there. We'll see how he does against the big boys, but he plays with speed and vision. Rodriguez is a good player. Seemed like he stood out and was better than most of the other players. This guy was making plays left and right. Reinhart did not look great. Scored a goal, but didn't play fast, looked a little disinterested. Did score a nice goal at the end, though. #85 (Chapman, I think?) is a gamer. Like the way he played. Strong, fast, and fearless. #81, forgot his name, had a forgetful night. Not big enough for the NHL. Makarov, the goalie for the first half of the game, was strong and pitched a shutout. Seemed very confident. That's all I got! Lot of fun watching these guys.

Reinhart with one more to finish it off at 6-2. Good stuff.

Scratch that, it's Baptiste with two goals, Rodriguez with one. 5-0 after two.

Rodriguez with another goal. This guy is money!

Got to Buffalo for the opener and found out they're having a prospect challenge tournament, so I'm watching Sabres prospects open up a 3-0 lead in the first period against New Jersey. Eichel assisted on the first goal less than 40 seconds into the game. Dude is smooth as silk. Made a sick move later on and came a hair away from scoring. Rodriguez has a goal and assist already. This is some entertaining stuff.

Hey, it could happen. By the way, anybody know how Gronk has performed against Rex defenses? I'm boarding a plane and can't easily check.
