As it is right now, there is no way the Sabes are not picking top 10 for 1 more year
Allow me to be the first to say: trade the pick!

FIFY.....
Last years opening roster: Minimum of 6 out of 21 changes from last year. So same roster isn't a very accurate statement.
Defense (8): Zach Bogosian, Matt Tennyson, Marco Scandella, Casey Nelson, Jake McCabe, Rasmus Dahlin, Rasmus Ristolainen, Nathan Beaulieu
- Forward (13): Jack Eichel, Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Sobotka, Kyle Okposo, Sam Reinhart, Zemgus Girgensons, Jason Pominville, Casey Mittelstadt, Conor Sheary, Jeff Skinner, Evan Rodrigues, Tage Thompson, Remi Elie
The problem is we still have all of our worst players. Until I see Sobotka banished to Europe, Scandella and Okposo in the press box, and some of the kids grow...I shall remain pessimistic.

It's mostly the Sobotkality of what I see. That, and the apparent Okposonity.
I laughed. And then I cried.

Faulk signs a seven year extension for 6.5 AAV as well
It's always weird when I don't know enough about most of the trade to have an opinion. All I know is I wouldn't want Faulk on that contract.

For the first time in memory, I'm not really all that excited about the start of the season.
What, you're not buying that a new coach is going to transform mostly the same roster into a good team?

If Faulk moves for EHLERS!!! @New Scotland (NS) I'll be very sad.

I hate fantasy sports.

Presumably, to irritate people of your ilk ?

That late 2Q TD pass is what i mean when I say Trubisky is what we want Allen to be. Ballsy with a strong arm.
Case Keenum couldn’t beat Williamsville South.
So, you want Allen to be what he already is?

If Skinner can’t perform without Jack why did we pay him $9m? Giving our 2C Skinner and letting Olofsson play with Jack makes much more sense to me.
It's not that he can't perform without Jack, but if you ever want him to see 40 goals again, that's where he has to play. If you're happy with 25-30, then sure, put him wherever.
9 minutes ago, Curt said:It’s not like we don’t know what Skinner is without a great C. That was his entire CAR career. He was about a 25-30 goal scorer. His first year with Ike, he hit 40.
It has a lot to do with the type of player Skinner is. His strength is cashing in chances relatively close to the net, but he isn’t much of a creator or puck distributor. That’s why it makes sense to play him with the teams best creator, to maximize his opportunities to cash in. His current salary does not change the player that he is.
Olofsson may turn out to have a similar skill set, but he hasn’t proven that he is a consistent threat at the NHL level. He does look promising though, and may actually turn out to be a better passer and more well rounded player than Skinner. Once Olofsson gets his feet wet, I could actually see Skinner-Eichel-Olofsson as an extremely dangerous top line.
I should have just quoted you.

It makes total sense that it was. I'm just saying -- he wasn't wrong in the takes he called out.
Oh, and by the way, the Bills are a super shaky 3-0 team. There's still plenty of time to worry about McDermott being a faith-first, try-hard, state champion wrestler.
Except he was wrong on a number of points. For instance, we can all agree that McDermott does clap too much, right? If we can't agree on that then we can't agree on anything.

It says I beat him by 0.04...
There must have been a stat correction applied or something, because it's showing you losing to him 125.08-125.02 for me.

Hey, it was rough and crude, but @Marchand'sNose did accurately exhume past (current?) takes on the Bills, from a variety of posters. Bit unfair to attribute the lot of the takes to a monolithic board poster. But those are all things that were posited here.
It was a drunken rant. If the "anti-Bills agenda" didn't tip it off for you, I present the following:

This is Josh Allen's FIFTEENTH career regular season NFL game. Not even a full season's worth of games. He was drafted with the expectation that he'd be a project. Many were talking about sitting him for a full TWO seasons before seeing the field. The only knocks on him were his accuracy and his decision-making. He's already shown major improvements in accuracy. The decision-making is partly because he has a bit of a Brett Favre hero complex in him, but a lot of it is also due to inexperience. He's only going to get better in decision-making, not worse. Buffalo now has a franchise QB who will play 10+ years and annually lead them to 10+ wins. If we can get past Mahomes and the ageless Brady, maybe we'll even pick up a Super Bowl during the ride.
If you can't enjoy this 3-0 start and this team, then I don't know else to say. A lot of you here have some weird anti-Bills agenda. But then I think back at some of the stupid sh!t you people here have said about these Bills (should have kept Tyrod Taylor, should have drafted Rosen, McDermott is racist against black QB's, McDermott is running a religious cult and claps too much, etc...), and I realize that I should just ignore your garbage opinions and stick to having fun watching this team grow.
I would like to formally nominate this for worst post in Sabrespace history.

An ugly win is still a win.

No, but that was never the objective. Don't get embarrassed.

A super aggressive first half followed up with whatever this trash is should get someone fired.
We both know nobody is being fired. But yea, I have no idea what's happening this half.

Should have gone for it ?

Not great, Bob.

I'm not going to take any of that interception away from Josh, but I'm going to call that a 110% play and heap an extra 10% on the right side of the offensive line. Did they touch any of the rushers on that play?
After the INT and they were being blocked ?

He seems unwilling to take a loss of yardage. If Andy Dalton would rather throw a completion for a loss, Allen would rather throw a pick.

That was a pretty sloppy half. We have to tighten things up offensively and not take the third quarter off this time.
I actually don't think we do. I want us to, for sure, but we're winning this game whether it's ugly or running away.

If Josh takes the half second to set his feet, that's a TD.

He's terrifying.
He's fun. I'm still not sure how good he is, but he's definitely entertaining to watch.
Non Sabres Deadline Trades/Rumors

Not sure they'd be willing to trade the forwards I want anyway, but probably not a great partner for a Risto trade since they're already invested in Weber and Petry on the right side.
