Again, I'm not saying anything other than UPL stinks and draw your own conclusions. https://www.espn.com/nhl/team/stats/_/type/goalie/name/buf The one L was the relief appearance in New Jersey which is exactly the type of BS excuse these UPL apologists love.

Just enough cap space left to sign a weapon like Bob Foster, Deonte Thompson, or John motha*****in Brown.

He stole that game is what I would say if I was giving him any credit... but I am not! Officially I'm still done with him and unwilling to admit he has played two fantastic games. Timely saves again and again and he didnt give up his typical weak one and then come totally unmoored is what I am not saying. Great to see, if it were true. That is what this team has not had the past few years and still doesn't for the record! Team defense was not great tonight but UPL came up big when it mattered is an opinion for someone else.

Yes, its regularly giving up better scoring chances than it generates. If it doesn't improve, may as well put out the PK team and play 4 on 4.

Its been Dodson and Dorian Williams subbing in for Milano. Rapp played his most snaps against Miami (65) and Tampa (26), games where we played much better defense. Jax (0), NYG (0), and New England (8) he was barely a factor and I recall he was more of a big nickel than playing Milano's role.

Lets not leave Jacksonville off the list. I think the defensive line is the primary issue. Without Daquan taking on two blockers we aren't seeing the penetration up the middle. QBs don't have to move off their spot, we aren't buying time for the edge rush to get home. This forces our CBs to cover longer. McDermott has sent extra pressure as a result, particularly against new england. Blitzing left easy completions. We played all of last year without a healthy Tre White. Dane + Benford is an adequate starting pair. Milano is great, no question. We miss him big time as Dorian gets abused on misdirection play. I think Daquan's role is more important than either Tre or Milano to the success of this defensive scheme.

And the season highs in offense given up to Jacksonville and New England? Cincinnati's backup OL had their way with our defensive line in the post season without Daquan in the lineup. If you are of the opinion that 3 quarters against Tampa negate these other performances we can disagree.

Is our defensive line getting blown off the line of scrimmage because Tre and Milano aren't out there? I'll need to see the Xs and Os on how that works.

Most teams don't fall to pieces after losing a defensive tackle.

Phillips is who he always was. Bad against the run, flashy when he can penetrate and rush the passer. Without a Star or DaQuan next to him he gets even more exposed. McD's defense seems to rely on having a unicorn at DT. This defense falls apart without a tackle that can anchor while taking on two OL. We will be back to playing Oliver out of position because the other bums aren't up to the task.

You don't understand selecting a linebacker in the draft when we were thin at linebacker? Add it to the list...

There is no momentum game to game, week to week in the NFL. None.

Smart move. Quit while you're behind.

What in the world are you talking about?

Nothing we can do but cut our ***** off now!

I heard Sam Martin rubbed up against someone inappropriately at the Bingo parlor.

He started the last 2 or 3 games and was then benched because he wasn't performing. He has been playing.

There are 2 teams with more losses and 4 teams with just as many losses. Sabres are 4-5 coming off 2 solid performances.

What kind of big game coach can prevent drops and missed tackles? A coaches job is to put players in a position to succeed. Players job is to execute.

So in other words, the primacy effect has no impact on assessing the offense in week 7 vs. week 8 by your own admission. Which was my point. Digging deep into the ultimate frisbee studies again I see.

If you want to try something new hit up Nine Eleven Tavern.

Its a bad analogy to cite the primacy effect in this context for obvious reasons, but lets entertain this stupidity: were the primacy effect at play in this comparison, wouldn't our bias be to imprint on the earlier game in New England and discount the new information of last nights performance as less relevant? Or are you suggesting that we imprinted the first half of the Bucs game into our long-term memory and are too rigid to deal with the subsequent half of football played 15 minutes later?
