I'll respectfully disagree. We started the season with Sobokta on the second line and no clear role/direction for the bottom 9 forwards. That's a team construction/GM problem. We started the year with *squints* 5? good forwards and one of them was a rookie that played a half season and they were relying on him for 1st line minutes. Surprises line Oloffson and Ullmark should take a team from good to great not from terrible to watchable.

I came here to make this point, so thank you for beating me to it ? When we start calculating what it would take to make the playoffs in terms of win streaks and point totals that equate to the best team in the league, the playoffs are officially toast. We haven't even approached escaping the bottom 1/3rd of the league in a decade, let alone top 16. That's with having a top 10 player in the league this year and multiple top 5 draft picks. It's an especially impressive level of incompetence.

My first time back on board in months and i'm already breaking hearts.

Until they make a trade for a #2 center and finally have enough (good) forwards to make logical line combinations, I don't have much faith that this team has any chance of making a meaningful playoff run. Even with Jack playing out of his mind.

I'll still continue to be part of the generation that says "Kobe!" before shooting anything at a hoop/basket/garbage can.

Wife and I caught The Hate U Give on HBO last night as we always try to check the movies that are leaving at the end of the month to make sure we don't miss a good one. It was really excellent story about the challenges of living in a poor black neighborhood and how drugs, fear, and wealth privilege all play a huge part in the opportunities available to kids in that area. The central conflict was focused on police brutality, but there were more story arcs to follow as you got into it. I'd recommend it if you still haven't cancelled HBO from the GOT days...

...now that you mention it. ?

I just watched six underground today. It was a fun mindless action movie. It felt a little Deadpool-y to me as well

Agreed. I'm almost done with it now and it has been good but I will agree that the show almost expects that its viewers have played the games or are familiar with the stories. If this was your first experience with the Witcher universe I could see it being a bit confusing who Geralt/Yennifer/Ciri are and why they have magical powers.

*****in right! Finally hit the long ball. If the Patriots are going to play zero coverage we need to be able to hit those throws over the top

I'm more just glad that our coach realizes that timeouts are valuable. We've had far too many coaches that uses them like condoms on prom night

My wife rightly pointed out that if McD had challenged that 4th down spot earlier we would have ran out of time at the 1 yd line with no points

... Maybe

Guys... We're going to the playoffs!!!

This defense continues to reward McD's confidence in them. Gives me heart palpitations but so far it's working So far...

If they become too afraid to play Singletary then our offense goes from average to bottom 5. We need to play him and deal with any rookie mistakes

TD baby!

This is better articulating what I was getting at. Jumbo package with Gore for all three downs with 10+ yds to go. You're not setting us up for success. Singletary fumbled once on a great play by Watt, don't need to take him out.

Three runs on goal to go? JFC You. Play. To. Win. The. Game. That was way too conservative

Agreed. Singletary has the speed to get to the corner and that's a walk in TD

Tre White!! Dude is a gem

Been incredibly busy and haven't gotten a chance to hang out with you fine folk. I have an uncomfortable amount of optimism with regards to this year's Bills that is sure to leave me disappointed in new and spectacular ways

Don't worry gents - we still got em. The Pittsburgh offense is overmatched

Sabrespace: Come for the hockey, stay for the dino sex. ?

Had the joy of working in the office until 10:30 pm last night. So there's that...
