If they fix the RD it'll be better than reasonable provided the GTing isn't hot garbage.

Seems the national media have been doing quite a respectable ball washing of Mr. Allen & crew. IMHO this was his first MAJOR stride towards the HoF. That performance literally can only be topped by somebody going at least 8 TDs in 8 tries. 99%+ sure that ain't happening in this kid's lifetime.

Would flip Thompson & Cozens. But overall getting close to reasonable. Replace 2 of the bottom 3 w/ Mittelstadt & Quinn (and next year Peterka too) & they shouldn't be getting smoked by Detroit.

Face it. It was the 1st time in the Super Bowl era & likely ever than an offense was literally perfect. 7 drives - 7 TDs 7 Red Zone trips - 7 TDs 5 for 5 on 3rd down when not kneeling to run out the clock. 0 turnovers 0 sacks 0 plays (other than taking a knee to run out the clock) for negative yardage. 0 INTs 0 4th downs except after 3 kneel downs (follows from being perfect on 3rd down) 0 punts 0 FG attempts Only 4 balls touched the turf; at least 1 of which was intentional 0 own recovered fumbles 300 yards of offense in the 1st half There LITERALLY will never be a performance that good again.

"Watched" the 2nd & 3rd periods after the Bills perfect offensive game & still not sure what colors Detroit & Buffalo were wearing much less how they played as poorly as the comments make it "sound." What a football game.

While Allen WILL be the AFC Offensive PotW and Hyde has a good case to be the AFC Defensive PotW, McKenzie SHOULD be the AFC STotW for getting to that KO after the Cheats' FG AND not taking a knee. If he takes a knee there, the Bills don't score a TD on every single one of their 1st 7 possessions. Brilliant effort from him.

It ABSOLUTELY was an incredible play by Hyde & sealed the momentum. But it WASN'T a "perfect" pass. If Jones puts that to his back shoulder rather than leading him back towards the middle of the field, Hyde can't get there. HIS guy might not catch it, but he'd be the only one that could. Maybe someday Jones will be able to throw to guys downfield that are "NFL Open" but right now he rarely completes a pass to a guy more than 5 yards downfield if he isn't "college open." Doubt he ever gets that touch. Hoping he doesn't at a minimum. And if he doesn't, hooe he's their QB for at least the next decade.

Please show us where anyone said "top notch." That would be ideal, but just actual mother ####### NHL quality is absolutely required. Also, please show where $750k JAG was suggested as bringing in the goalie upgrade they need. But, you aren't offering excuses ...

But Trubisky might. 😞 Yes. 5 was a Superbowl Era record. Actually, except for the 3rd kneeldown, no failed 3rd down attempts either. The ONLY thing that stopped the Bills O today was the back of the endzone.

Oh, Ah'm Mr. Cheat-miser, Ah'm Mr. Scum. Ah've never fairly played a football game that Ah've won.

Let's wait until he's actually failed to bring in a goalie for the 3rd strike in 3 tries before we absolve his failure to hit the pitch a 3rd time. Adams should not be given a pass if he paraphrases Jauron: It's hard to find goalies in the NHL. <_<

They have a bunch of 2nd round picks in next year's draft. They have prospects that they might not see as fitting LT, one of which might get paired up w/ one of those picks. There's plenty of ways for a savvy go getter w/ a great analytics team to figure out how to bring in an ACTUAL NHL quality netminder that still has something left in the tank. But no way should Adams be given an excuse already w/ ~50 games to go this season to not fix the goaltending this offf-season.

And FA isn't the only way to get a goalie. But they have the cap & the cash to overcome a bit of reluctance if the FA they target isn't completely sure at 1st. The ability to work w/ Bales should also be a selling point. Adams absolutely has to have better next year regardless of the route.

Will start watching the Bungles game in about 15 minutes. Watch that until the Sabres game starts & then watch pre-game through the 1st period of the Sabres game. Then watch the 1st 1/2 of the Bills game. Not sure if we'll stick w/ the 1/2 time show or the 2nd period, but will then watch the rest of the Bills game before watching the end of the Sabres game. Will likely then find out how the Bungles game ended the way it did. Tonight's Amerks game might be tomorrow's way of avoiding pregame football shows (except for the talking heads praising Allen for tonight's effort & results. That'l be must watch TV. 😉 ).

Wasn't specifically stated but Granato alluded to that being the case.

The 2 injuries he's suffered this year both seem to be a result of the Gallagher slash. Haven't really noticed him being injury prone in the past. Has he missed any other significant time due to injury in the past?

Hochul wants the stadium deal done sooner than later. Would be surprised if it isn't done before the primaries. After that deal is set, any/all announcements on the Sabres could be on the table.

The report said a PE firm could own up to 30% of a single team or 20% of up to 5 teams each.

If by reset you mean yet ANOTHER course "correction" really doubt it. Don't like it either. But it makes sense. Unfortunately.

The excuse explanation will be that UPL earned it this year as his growth demonstrated. And Tokarski earned it as well. Will be REALLY unhappy if that's the case. But that would give them 1 more kick at the lottery magic and would put everybody 1 year closer to being in their primes when they FINALLY get around to having winning as a goal & not merely an aspiration. It also might finally break the fanbase. (Not positive anything will truly break it, but that could be the final straw. (This year's attendance not withstanding,))

Considering what the league just approved regarding private equity minor partnerships, would expect something along the lines of a 20-30% stake getting sold. Doubt the official title changes in the front office happen this soon, but if somebody is looking to poach Karmanos, could see that happen as well.

Again, see this pass D as elite relative to the rest of the league, but not an all time elite D. For the most part, the teams that have beaten the Bills did it on the ground - they didn't need to pass. Hopefully the Bills have finally figured out how to stop the run when it's imperative that they do so. If they have, they have a real chance to win it all as Allen & crew will score points (at least when going w/ the wind).

So we're already excusing Adams for not addressing goaltending for a THIRD time in three years? Going into next season w/ nothing more than UPL & Tokarski would be a huge mistake IMHO.

No doubt the Bills pass defense is elite relative to the majority of the league this season. But would be very interested in seeing their rank pulling the 1st Cheats game out of the mix. Don't see them as all time elite, unfortunately.

Umm, Tokarski?
