You would rather the Amerks getting saves from Levi than the Sabres? It's the AHL. They will find a goalie who is good enough for that level

I can only imagine the anger from Sabres fans seeing Reimer in net in place of Levi. Especially after the way Levi played on the weekend

Gibson is out with an appendectomy. he will return soon enough. Sabres can reclaim him at that point, if necessary Yes but I want Levi playing in Buffalo not Rochester

Yes cause the 3 headed goalie worked so well for them last season there's a reason why 95% of the teams carry 2

Sorry I thought this year was about winning?

They've been making these kind of coaching errors since day 1 with him Season expectation should be Super Bowl or bust for him

Here is the dot diagram. are there any McDermott apologists left out there? if so, please explain exactly what the D is doing here. Not withstanding #42 arriving to the field late and not knowing the call But what about the rest of this call? If you are still a McDermott apologist, what will it take for you? How many botched games are you willing to throw away?

So the Bills had 10 men lined up on the play right after the punt with 7 seconds to go. Williams runs out but doesn't know the play Bills have two deep safeties guarding against what exactly? last year it was 12 men., this year it's 10 men and another confused Defence. Only a Super Bowl appearance should be able to save McDermotts job this year Enough is Enough

OMG. The Texans would not have had time to throw the ball in the middle of the field to pick up an extra 5-7yds. you are also assuming the Bills get stopped 3 times for zero yds they had a qb who was 9-27 throw 3 more times. To run the ball was both managing the clock and proper play calling

I put $5 on the Sabres winning the cup can cash out today for $.92. Thinking I'm getting a steal lol

Yes it's time skinner represented a losing franchise., was glad to see him gone Pegula is even more of representation of a losing franchise. It's time hope to hear the "sell the team" chants this season

Would they have been able to run the play that put them into FG range ? Hey maybe running it 3 times nets you a first down ? Even 5 or 6 yds in those 3 plays may have been enough to keep them out of FG range ? 3 pass plays in a row with where they were on the Field should be fireable Especially with his history of mismanagement Would have been more appropriate swearing 13 seconds

And here we are again Classic McDermott. I never thought I'd see mismanagement as bad as 13 seconds Because of the importance of the game , it doesn't reach that level but this coach loses more close games than he wins for them No doubt in my mind he will lose another big one for the Bills in the near future due to his inability to manage the clock

Great. Now the Bills have become unwatchable too if the Texans put up a TD on their first drive put in as many backups as possible , including Trubisky. No more injuries to key people. good news is they can win the division at 9-7 , maybe even 8-8 Bad news, without safety help and another receiver. This team is going nowhere in the playoffs

What? I'm guessing you really don't follow football? the guy that has had McCarthy as his coach for the past 4 years without a sniff of the Super Bowl not to mention Garrett for 10 years prior

They might look different against a lot of teams in the league. I think the devils are that good.

Is there anyway for the Sabres to transfer to the German league ? Just to remind us what winning feels like

Before I totally jump off the bridge , need to remember there are good reasons why the Devils are on the short list of cup contenders. They looked excellent.

Lindy is probably wondering what he got himself into. Has a lot of work to do I'm feeling that my rope is very short with them this season. They just aren't worth the aggravation. I usually stop being emotionally invested sometime in late Nov. so this could be a record for me Only positive I can come up with is Levy otherwise it's a lot more of the same. Can't win a face off , PP is a joke and injuries already piling up speaking of injuries, if Dahlin isnt 100% hold him out until he is. He needs to be a difference maker and clearly he isn't so I'll be back next game, cheering them on but they better get their $hit together quick I think Dahlin is 4.

The more things change the more they stay the same though lets see how Lindy reacts and how they bounce back tomorrow Still pretty disappointed

I thought it would take a lot longer than 30 mins of hockey for the majority of Sabres fans to give up on the season. But here we are. Can't believe I'm contemplating an afternoon nap over watching the remainder of the season opener

I agree that it was a dumb play call BUT those first 3 drives set the tone. They would had to have played perfect football to get back and win the game from that point. Obviously they didn't

How many times are the Bills going to let this happen? To me, it's already once too many. I know there is zero % chance he gets fired during the regular season. I also have very little hope McDermott won't get outcoached again this January

Game was lost 3 drives into the game 1st drive. they go for it 4th and 1 at their own 39 and get the 1st Cook had runs for 8yds and they bring in Davis who gets stopped for no gain. 3rd down incomplete 4th down they punt. No guts no Glory 2nd drive down 7-0 they kick a long field goal - fair enough 3rd drive down 14-3 and no sense the D is going to be able to slow down the Ravens and they once again have 4th and 1 on their own 39. This time McDermott punts!!! how do you go for it at 0-0 but punt down 14-3????!! a few minutes later it's 21-3. I have no confidence MCdermott has what it takes to ever win the Super Bowl He's a fine coach and will get you into the playoffs BUT he's always gonna be a step behind a guy like Andy Reid when you have Allen as your QB you need to go for it whenever you are 4th and short outside your own 35yrd line

He had two chances to go for it on 4th down and short with#17 on his team Kicked a long FG and Punted. Classic coaching not to lose
