K-9

So if the Sabres win tonight, they still won’t be in a playoff spot. Gotcha. Thanks. 😂

Botterill was fired for one specific instance of not following orders when he refused to fire 20 or so people in the operations department, including nearly all of his scouts. It was part of their austerity program during the pandemic when teams all around the league were implementing severe cost cutting measures in the face of anticipated heavy losses of revenue.

Well, I’ve seen enough of Ryan Johnson.

Thanks for this post, Punch. Seems all I’ve read are criticisms of the D, which they deserve, but sometimes you just nave to tip your hat to the players on the other team. Stafford was elite with his ball placement and what can you say about Nacua. And McVeigh showed why his play designs can give teams fits; he’s one of the best there is from a schematic standpoint. Sometimes it’s just easier to give the other guys full credit for their talents than it is to wallow in misery.

Levi with a nice 30 save shutout to lead the Amerks to a 3-0 win and return the favor for last night.

The Sabres are often the best tonic for struggling teams.

This is obvious for most to understand, but I guess the emotionally immature among us will insist on making it more than it is. My hatred of Musk predates his position in the Trump administration and him “cutting funding to some agencies” is the least of it.

Blow. It. Up. Get what you can for whomever. The only untouchable is Benson.

Power isn’t very good at defense.

Per the bold text, I assume the “someone” you’re referring to is me. Respectfully, it’s a crock of crap as I’ve never advocated for violence against anyone in this or any other forum. “F off and die” is an old saying and was very popular in the 70s. There were even t shirts with the saying on it. It’s simply a way of expressing extreme displeasure with someone. And the issue with Musk, Trump, and others isn’t about simply disagreeing on politics; far from it. They are a very clear and present danger to our constitution, our representative republic, and our democracy. Project 2025 is a fascist manifesto and I suggest you read it and then study similar writings from politicians in Germany, Italy, and Spain in the 20s and 30s. In the meantime, put me on “ignore” because I’m sure you’ll misconstrue and overreact to things I may post in the future.

When I’m as crazy as that Ahole I’ll worry about it.

Elon Musk needs to go away. After warning us that many will suffer “temporary hardship” he announced intentions to slash $2T in spending. That’s TRILLION with a T. I imagine it will be programs that millions depend on but not a dime to his government teet contracts. Must be nice to be a billionaire 200 times over without a money worry to be able to determine what’s right for people who depend on government programs. F off and die, Musk, you fascist pig.

Uh oh, @inkmanis gonna disown you now.

There’s no shortage of info about tariffs and the harm they do to economies. Trumps plan has been universally condemned by leading economists both here and around the world. Here’s a little article for your consumption: https://taxfoundation.org/blog/trump-tariffs-impact-economy/#:~:text=Tariffs are trade barriers that,percent tariff on Mexican imports.

There were a couple tells that tipped me off; very little movement by the Chiefs D when Shakir shifted to the backfield and as Johnson went in motion the Chiefs CB on the right side of their alignment simply shifted a little bit to his right instead of a dedicated man following him across the formation.

Gee, how will my broken heart ever mend? I’ve used that one before, but it’s been a few years.

Malodorous wannabes.

I realized that as I watched the play unfold and I was surprised he didn’t change the play at the los. Perhaps I misunderstood Orlovsky, but the fact that Spagnola played a zone concept the one time in a hundred didn’t fool anybody, which is the point I was trying to make.

Interest rates won’t get below 4% until the Fed is convinced inflation is fully under control and they lower the lending rates to the banks who will then lower their lending rates to consumers. And the president and congress don’t control what the Fed does. So in short, Trump and Co. won’t do anything to lower rates because they can’t.

I enjoy Orlovsky the most of any analyst. But I’ll disagree a tad about his assessment of Allen’s TD run. Allen recognized it wasn't man coverage pre-snap when he saw nobody following the the man in motion. I don’t always like Brady’s concepts, but sending the RBs to the flats forced Bolton into coverage on several occasions, thus eliminating Spagnola’s spy, which Bolton is 99% of the time we play the Chiefs. I think Brady schooled one of the better DCs in the game. Of course none of that success is possible without excellent execution, especially by the OLine, who all should have received game balls despite the lack of success on running plays not involving Allen.

Ouch.

Later fellas. I’ve seen enough for one 32:14.

Sucks to get a goal taken away, but we don’t deserve to win this game, regardless. This team blows out loud. An absolute joke of a team. Blow the whole thing up. Again.
