oh... Rick making the call.. my heart wasn't ready for it.

As I have indicated, I think if you do this you are sending Olofsson out in a corresponding trade. Then the Jost line gets either Quinn or JJP and Cozens gets Meier.

As you know, I don't have to imagine and it is a reason I am quiet on this. Sure I am curious about Kim Pegula, but if she did indeed have a stroke that was hemorrhagic I feel nothing but love and sympathy for the unfortunate woman.

Myers hit on Beniers, thoughts?

They have coaches for all positions, they are the positions coaches. https://www.buffalobills.com/team/coaches-roster/

According to Sabres live, yes. Which should be fun if they lose because a bunch of posters will be all like "OOOO I told you! You're stupid" even though Comrie needs starts, we gotta know what he can or cannot do at this point. I think this is going to be a hard go for Comrie after over 2 weeks off and playing a strong Winnipeg team that is starting Hellbeychuk

Im not trading a 1st for McCabe. The latest 2nd we have and a B level guy, sure.

Why?

This draft is deep. Better than 2020 or 2021 or 2022 IMPO.

IF he had term left or he didn't have a 10mil qualifying offer, I think this would be plausible. You trade Olofsson for a 1st and probably a 2nd or something like that. You use that to trade for Meier. You probably lose Rosen or Östlund. Both would be players SJ might want to pair with Eklund. So it basically looks like: Olofsson to ??? for a 1st and B prospect That 1st + Rosen OR Östlund + Rousek + a 2nd? But that might be too low for SJ, I think the issue is the contract. If I can get Meier to 7x6 years, I probably pull the trigger but with a 10mil qualifier, he might want 10x7

Idk, I feel like most of us are pretty complimentary of Mitts these days. He has looked a world better the last month. My only concern is we have seen this pattern from him before where Mitts will be good for 10 or so games and then regress. Hope that doesn't happen because right now he is a valuable member of the team.

ain't no passing craze

I don't follow you. Are you saying Savoie will be better than Quinn?

I personally think Quinn will replace Olofssons scoring.

I'm going with yes, he's definitely a top 10 player.

I've stated my feelings. You don't have to agree. Hopefully this upcoming season is better. Guess that makes 2 of us.

I do not care. I, do not, care. You are conflating my happiness with the football team as well and I am perfectly happy. This is like saying oh in the 90s the Bills went to 4 Superbowls so don't criticize the team now, they gave you that. That isn't what this is about for me and you do not or will not understand my point. I do not care about the 17 year draught and using that as an excuse for why the Bills cannot even make their conference championship is a hell of a stretch. One I, one last time, do not care about. It is such an irrelevant point I cannot even begin to articulate why not making the playoffs for 17 years is irrelevant to 13 seconds and the Bengals asswhooping this team just experienced. I'm not ungrateful for questioning the current state of the team and honestly it is fairly offensive to suggest that.

You three don't understand what I am trying to point out. It's fine that is on me. The Bills aren't good enough, they were just blown out at home by the Bengals and it would have been the 2nd time in 4 weeks that happened. Beane's drafting is questionable. Dorsey's playcalling was HIGHLY questionable. Frazier's defense has choked in back to back to back playoffs. So if think that is okay, fine. But please stop acting like I am saying "superbowl or bust" because that's not it. This team looked like a dumpster fire in the playoffs, why can't we even consider that the coaching and management is part of the reason? If Buffalo hadn't lost 13 seconds or had a close loss to the Bengals, I would view this differently but they didn't. It is the same mistakes on offense and the same easy ways to beat our defense. Guess we shall see how this year goes because they aren't firing anyone.

After Georgia beat Ohio State they interviewed Kirby Smart on the field. He said some good things about his team but he also said they weren't good enough. He was especially harsh on his QB who to that point was 14-0 and 28-1 over the last 29 games. Why? Because if your standard is just "well we won so whatever" than you have no standard. Im not critical of them because they didn't win the Superbowl. I'm critical because in the last 5 years the Chiefs and Bengals have both gone to or won the Superbowl. Both have gone to the conference finals as well. Buffalo made the conference final once. So if winning some regular season games is your metric that's fine, but what they did this season and how they looked isn't acceptable and I don't honestly give a ***** about what happened in the 17 year drought. If you aren't even open to the idea that their are better ppl out there than Beane and McDermott, we should end this here because I'll don't believe that and you quoting 51 wins at me doesn't change that. Again you are content because they are good. I'm not. Things that aren't relevant. It isn't and you and others trying to tell me it is might be one of the weakest arguments ever proffered on this board.

I want you to go look around the league at teams 3rd line centers and see how many of them are 35pt players. For the record I think Jost can hit 40 but that's what a 3rd line basically is. Charlie Coyle plays for the Bruins. They are 1st in the league in points and in scoring. He is currently pacing for 17g, 26a, 43 points.

They didn't win. That's my issue.

Horvat is shooting 8.1% over his career average right now. I think it highly likely that it regresses some and certainly will over the course of the 7 year deal he gets, buyer beware.

Yes. Josh Allen is a cheat code. Look you aren't going to convince me this is the best run franchise after this season. There were obvious holes in March that were not touched, the GM hasn't drafted an all pro in 4 drafts, the defense bends continually and needed the best UFA edge to be good. It isn't important, I don't believe in the Bills coaches and GM so until they do something that changes it, you aren't going to convince me this team is "one of the best run".
