Dreams Burn Down

That was a fantastic WC Final. Mbappe almost single-handedly brought France back from the dead twice, but I'm happy that Messi got this capstone on his career. Continuing the thoughts from the "Other Sports" thread, I'd love to see FIFA at least demo sudden death ET. I'm thinking at least for the Final, but I'd be content if they applied this once the Group Stage ends. I was thinking 30 minute periods with a short rest in between. Penalty kicks, like the hockey shootout, have always left me with a sour taste. At least the NHL puts aside the gimmickery in the playoffs. I wish that FIFA would consider it.

JA has a tendency to just put the team on his back. Sometimes, it doesn't work. Last night, with that run to set up the TD and then his airplane flight for the 2-point conversion, he's simply cementing his legend in Bills history. What a leader he is.

This makes me yearn for Marcus even more.

The Buffalo Freaking Bills! We're in the playoffs, again.

What a goal. Nice fake and feed by Dahlin.

JA to Cook. That pass was a thing of beauty.

Yes! The PP strikes again.

Not a great start. Get it back, boys.

Great team victory. One thing that stood out to me was our shot blocking. We buckled in the third, but didn't break. This team is developing a resiliency that I haven't seen from this franchise in some time. We beat the defending champs in their barn. Now, we move on.

Anderson deserved that shutout. Without him, we might have been out of it early.

VO with a beautiful effort and Krebs with the finish.

Lightning again from Tage.

Great passing leading to that goal by Tuch. Wow. They've blown it open.

VO!

Tage - Where momma hides the cookies.

LA is beginning to look frustrated. I hope we can take advantage.

Nice hit, Clague.

Only one of our six shots on goal was near the net.

The Kings are completely dictating play. They are just outworking us.

Let's go Sabres!

With this start, I'm thankful that Anderson got the nod.

I dislike that ad immensely. To those not in the Buffalo viewing area, my deepest sympathies.

I would have loved our chances against the Raiders and Eagles.

Schony meets Dr. Dirty. There's a duo that I never imagined happening.

I think it's worth taking a flyer on him at the very least. If he can open up the underneath passing game even slightly, it might give us another dimension. He's not being asked to play a full schedule, either. I'm not sure what he has left, but he's familiar with our system. I'm looking forward to finding out.
