Wish I had more confidence in the Bills. I'm a confirmed non believer. Yeah, pretty decent start but I see it not true reflection of the team unfortunately. Of course I had confidence the Sabres would be better so what do I know?

GDT: Florida Panthers at Buffalo Sabres, 7pm, 11/10/17
Radar replied to Andrew Amerk's topic in The Aud Club
This is something that bothers me. We've focused a lot on having a weak defense but I have been just as concerned about our offense. Our top guys, or at least the guys I thought were our top guys, just aren't getting much done offensively. Even Jack looks quite average compared to my expectations. -
Thanks for your gracious comment. Guess what I meant is to be used to obtain one. Yes, I agree something else would need to be added. Go back and get drunk your back on my ignore.
-
I agree for the most part with the logic you state here. Which leads me to the possibility that they haven't decided firmly whether to try and sign him or not. Further they (team) would like to win games and field a team with the best chance of doing that and Kane adds to those chances. Trading him now for picks/prospects would signal they have quit on the season and maybe in for a longer rebuild. Trading him for a proven number one defenseman on the other hand would appear to be a hockey trade to improve the current team. I like the latter better.

At the end of the day we're fans. This format is for us to "vent" and I am frustrated as are the rest of us. I have been following this team since it's inception. Guess I just need to keep perspective and if this was the wrong forum to express it I apologize.
-
Agree. Not criticizing and hope it wasn't taken that way. Just once in a while I need to step back look at things in perspective.
-
Just how important in your life are the Sabres? I mean really. They lose it's disappointing but really I'm over it in few minutes/hours and that's it. There are so many things in my life more important. I'm more upset with the latest mass shooting frankly and those families really more important. I'm not in anyway implying their not to you but sports are sports.

He can't survive any team for any length of time.
-
If Dunleavy is doing the game then I'm all in with a NBCSN crew.
-
Good points. Goalies who give up fat rebounds get scored upon.
-
I wish Housley would have said nothing but he's expected to so this is what you get. Truthfully, I didn't watch the game so can't say if the score was not indicative of the play or not.
-
I said I'd give it to Thanksgiving to see what we've got. Must admit I'm about to say we're no where near what I expected a month in. Didn't expect playoff team but expected much more out of what would be considered our better players. Defensively we knew we needed help and goaltending was a question but this so far is discouraging up and down the lineup. Most on here were excited about the Housley hire and I liked it myself but he's a first time head coach and maybe there is going to be a longer learning curve than many would expect but at the end of the day it's about the players.

I'm a Navy vet (Vietnam era). Couple things I feel about this. First, I feel since 911 we have over done the recognition thing to the extent that we're all heroes now (I'm not one) and when teams are getting paid to do this as a promotion it's not tasteful in my opinion. There is ,in my opinion, a lot of superficial or tacky patriotism being displayed. Let's recognize our true heroes and for the rest of us we don't need any. JMO.
-
I would make that offer and Kane I would hope would accept.
-
Didn't get to watch it but I've been concerned about Risto for awhile. We probably have him overrated.
-
Please list them for us. What picks?
-
Okay, my number one frustration...fans and or sports talk shows. Is it me or does it seem like no matter what is done people complain. Talk shows get ratings by stirring the pot but some fans on these forums seem to enjoy not being happy. The Bills make a trade and all of the sudden a third round draft choice is such a valuable commodity? Some of these same people are the ones probably complaining "just do something!". Don't get me started about our local sports show hosts. Particularly Bull on at three. I used to think he was salvageable. Oh well just thought I'd join in on the griping.
-
I don't disagree with some of what you say only because of timing. We weren't that far along that a few veteran acquisitions would immediately jump us into being a playoff contender. Disagree on your comment on ROR who is still young and added to that I'm not sold yet that Reinhart is going to ever be the player we want or projected him to be at center or wing. Certainly would not not make the deal for ROR with your argument being the reasoning.
-
But really what do we expect coaches to say? Frankly I don't pay much attention to coaches or players interviews for that reason.
-
As much as I love Eichel and possibly McDavid I think tanking is a bad business plan. That's the route they took and we need to continue with what became a total rebuild.
-
I think the coach and staff may be the best we've had in a while. They are playing hard and more fundamentally sound it seems. Still not sure we are ready to compete with the top teams though. I like what I've seen so far. Also like dumping Dareus who represents what I don't want to see on our team. Highly talented low in character.
-
Good post. This is my feeling as well. I want to stay out of free agency though and continue to build through the draft and trades if they make sense. I like the trade for Scandella and Pommers.
-
So glad it is.
-
I, frankly, am very disappointed in Sam. I really am wondering long term if he's close to living up to his draft position.
-
Your comments are getting old. Really when so many on here don't think they care and have a losing attitude? Now you are criticizing him? Man if we had a few guys playing near his level we'd have a few more points. What world are you living in? Have you watched these games? You're criticizing him? Give me a break from you're philosophical bs.
