It was crazy to hire the guy in the first place. It was a heavy lift, and has been a heavy lift for a long time. Some of the disrepair and rot throughout the organization pre-dates Pegula even. To just kind of circle the wagons around people you feel you can trust, then attempt to have everyone grow into their roles, have conversations, and figure everything out is foolish. Maybe it is great because Terry Pegula can go through the reports and have a seat at the big-kids table, but as far as icing an even mid-class hockey organization, it is not so great. Waiting for the inevitable Kevyn Adams President, Kekalainen GM, and Appert HC move. That will "buy" them another 4 years until people are allowed to be critical again without being accused of "wanting to just fire everybody all the time".

It is the entire picture. That rant is off base, and even seems to imply that Tage Thompson was a high pick for the Sabres from a tear-down. The problem is the guy at top and his insecurities and general mode of the franchise. It is unserious. The owner and GM are in so far over their heads and so insecure, they cant even conduct coaching searches anymore. It has gone to a far darker place than the depths of the Bills drought under Ralph Wilson/Russ Brandon.

I think it is morphing/going to morph into something like that as I described above. However, I think itll get cut-off around 90 teams. The rest will be some sort of I-AA/FCS type existence.

I guess they had to? The top 5 ranked conference winners are automatically in. Duke winning the ACC and the MWC having an off-year created some havoc
-
I think typically the acc is better, and you would get a mwc team, or at least an oddball outlier like we have seen like the paxton Lynch n Illinois teams or coastal Carolina a few years back. The intent wasn't for the rule to open the door for 2 of those teams

2026 schedule looks even worse than 2025 somehow. Ranked out of 136 teams right now @ Wisconsin (Green Bay neutral site) (#81) Rice (#106) Michigan State (#86) @ Purdue (#110) @ North Carolina (#91) Navy (Foxboro Neutral Site) (#26) Miami (#10) Boston College (#109) SMU (#31) Stanford (#89) @ Syracuse (#105) @ USC (#16)

I think Notre Dame should have to join a Conference or be ineligible. They make things even more apples to oranges than they already are, and their fake rivalries are an advantage. They game the schedule every year and it finally came back to bite them. Seeding does annoy me though and I cant help but always suspect that they push certain match-ups or make easier roads for teams. I believe that there should be hard slots for the teams. Base it on a ranking, I would even go back to a quantified computer calculation. Top 4 Conference winners get the first 4 spots, the next Conference winner gets an auto-bid, and the rest filled by the committee, but slotted based on the computer ranking. This would put importance back into Conference championships. It would also take a lot of the mystery out of it. And everything would be pretty fine right now, but Notre Dame's awful schedule has ruined everything.

so insufferable

Their dynasty is over. Mahomes and Reid could still go on a run in any given season, but them being in the AFCCG every season (or even most seasons) is done. A lot has to do with the Broncos ending their franchise dysfunction and Sean Payton building a good program, along with Jim Harbough in-division. Now the Raiders will probably draft Mendoza 1OA. The ferrari we knew the chiefs as, with Tyreek, prime Kelce and Hunt is long gone. Their defense and Kelce as a safety valve kept them great for awhile, but now Kelce is a shadow of his former self, and Chris Jones (their actual MVP) isn't the same. You also have other formidable teams in the AFC, it isnt so top-heavy anymore. And I don't believe Mahomes is as gifted as a QB to carry a team the same way Allen can, or even a healthy Jackson. While they can make the playoffs.... Kansas City isnt going to run through the AFC having to try in week 18, and them play on the road in weeks 19, 20, and 21 against better teams.

I'm certainly not a "get McBeane out" guy. I do think McDermott is a very good culture/atmosphere guy, and gets his team prepared for the most part. But I am very fatigued on this defensive philosophy/style and it has killed them The rotating linemen, undersized at each level, bringing back/retaining the same aged/aging characters, the shell on 3rd and long that always seems to be converted, the defensive timeouts that seem to have about a 10% favorable outcome on the next play, and a situation like yesterday, up by multiple scores and Cincinnati scores in a few plays in only seconds to get back in the game. Seems to be easier against Buffalo than anyone else.

Can't keep hiding behind a weak partial acc schedule and phony weak "rivalries" and hiding from a conference championship game. They should be in the big 10

Notre dame got their comeuppance

No. 1 dimensional. Someone will stop the run and they'll face qbs better than damaged aaron rodgers

That is a good interview. Agree that Kelly looks much better than he has in awhile. Seemed very upbeat thanks to his recent good medical news.

The #1 Key To Buffalo Going On A Playoff Run
May Day 10 replied to iwishitwerecolder's topic in The Stadium Wall
If the Bills get the Ravens at Baltimore in the playoffs, it will be their Superbowl. Dont want that match up -
The original headlines were that Bills fan(s) threw her down the stairs because she was wearing 49ers stuff. Looking into it and thinking for 30 seconds, I thought it was clear that attending a primetime Bills game with a young child was more than the family bargained for, they bit off more than they could chew, and they decided it was a terrible time, people were loud (yes, people were probably jostling around due to a ton of snow in the stadium and everyone wearing 5 layers). The mom went to social media to complain, exaggerate what happened to dredge for online sympathy that we all see many times in our own feeds. The problem is, the story gained legs and they had to keep doubling down on it. The story had many holes, there were no witnesses who were in that section. Sure enough, the online police came on. All Bills fans suck. Del Reid or whatever his name is was duped and posted their gofundme which started raising money for these people to the tune of 10s of thousands of dollars (honestly, probably fine for a cancer-survivor kid anyways, but not in the name of how horrible Bills fans are for an incident that didnt happen and an attention-seeking mom) With that said, I really hope that money-raising does not happen in this instance. If someone did in fact take this towel, then that sucks. More of a bad human in a mass gathering thing than "Bills fans bad" thing.
-
I believe this more than a bills fans tossing a little girl with cancer down the stairs of the upper deck. But really, if I had a irreplaceable relic like that, I probably wouldn't bring it to wave around at a bad weather game. Maybe its important to her to have her "mother" with her though when she attends. I could see a bills fan snatching a terrible towel maybe? Seems like a relatively harmless (although douchey) action not knowing it was an heirloom. Wouldn't fans around her come to her defense? Wouldn't she yell out?

78 which is close enough. My first Bills/Football memories were Superbowl XX, Some 86-87 Bills, then started to more vividly comprehend from 88-on. I agree it is an in between generation and pretty unique. I have seen some corny things about it on social media and stuff but it is true. I had a black and white TV, VCR, Saturday Morning cartoons on network tv, and Atari, but was raised with computers early/young enough where I/we are technically savvy and can adapt.

If we beat the Bengals, we’re winning the AFC
May Day 10 replied to No_Matter_What's topic in The Stadium Wall
Id say if they beat the Bengals and the Pats, with no more bad health news (which would mean health is improving) I will definitely start to really picture them running through the AFC. Right now, I just see a 1-dimensional team who probably cant have everything go their way 3+ weeks in a row. They have to be able to run the ball and chew clock to win. If a team stops the run and/or starts a track meet, the Bills are in a lot of trouble. Beat the Bengals and Pats, that is 3 games in a row, including 1 against the "top" team in the conference off their bye week on the road. I could then picture them winning enough playoff games against the current AFC field
