Sabres the day after a Bills game

[Stoner]

I rushed through the last two seasons to see how the Sabres have fared when playing the day after a Bills game. I have them at 2-5, tho I have a low level of confidence in my work.

At this point it's a hypothesis. The Sabres struggle when playing the day after a Bills game.

Does anyone want to grab the baton from me? We could go back any number of years.

For the past 13 years, the Sabres have struggled the day before, during and after every Bills game. They have done the same once those football seasons ended as well.

That's fair.

Seems about they’re typical average winning percentage

Is the hypothesis that they are hungover or depressed or both?

What usually holds true is that if the Sabres win the last game before the Bills play the Bills win and if they lose they tend to have a higher chance of losing or struggling. Believe both of the Bills losses this year have come after previous losses that weekend by the Sabres. 

[Stoner]

Another loss.

This stat should be taken seriously.

Thankfully I checked my work and it was spot on.

The guys are partying hard during Bills games. It shows how unprofessional and immature they are. Where is the captain in this?

[bunomatic]

On Friedmans latest 32 thoughts the Sabres were last or 2nd last and all he said about this trainwreck was ‘ at least they have the Bills ‘. Talk about being irrelevant.

[Big Guava]

Bills struggle usually the day after Sabres losses...

[Stoner]

Hoo boy...

What's that, Bill? Folks I'm being told the Sabres have won the last two games they played the day after a Bills game. The Bres boys are bonding over the Bills!

There should be nothing to correlate between Sabres and Bills wins and losses.  

I do have one superstition though.  Once a Bills game starts I will not look at anything Sabres, no posting here, no checking scores, no talking about them.  The  Bills get all my attention.  This is coming from a long time Buffalo hockey fanatic.  I wasn't always like this, but I don't want to taint the Bills experience with Sabres.  

I believed in the concept of One Buffalo before PSE came up with it.  But it goes far beyond sports teams and more to the community.   Once a West Sider, always a West Sider.

Do you really think the Sabres are in any way invested in what the Bills do or don't do? Maybe if they grew up around there like Tuch but despite public appearances for the image of being part of the community I doubt any of these guys really care if the Bills win or lose and a lot of them probably don't even care about football at all. 

You Buffalo locals however should probably not watch the Sabres until the Bills season is over. That way you will have a good 4 months of the year and then if the Sabres are out of it you won't have to suffer the agony of false hope every year. You can just talk about the next rebuild and the draft. I don't really like the NFL game any more but when I was a big football fan I never took hockey seriously until January/February.

There's a few players who seem invested in the Bills 

Tuch is an obvious one

Dahlin has really become a fan with his friendship with Dion Dawkins

A few other players definitely have a passing interest

Terry made a deal with Satan. All the winning mojo goes to the Bills so they can win it all and sell the rest of the PSLs in the new stadium.

Not far from the truth.

Satan made a deal with himself?
