    Time for the Sabres to bring back the royal blue. We're about to be really good and I need a new hockey sweater.

    Always hated the look of those uniforms, despite that they seem to be widely liked.

     

    I've never been a fan of blue, white, and gold.  It's a cheesy look IMO.

     

    When we went to black it was a big improvement, minus the goat head.

     

    That color scheme with a great logo would have been great. 

     

    I'm glad the best team this organization ever iced was wearing black though.  (2006).

    I will as I have enjoyed watching since 1960.  Sometimes screaming in frustration, yes.  But  that is what happens when you're a fan.

     

    you want to quit, quit.

    You suffer from a unique strain of the Stockholm Syndrome, known as the Buffalo Syndrome.

     

    You have been a fan of crap Bills teams for so long, you have developed a feeling of empathy and sympathy for the organization, to the point of defending them in the face of any and all adversity.

     

    Get the help you need, my friend.

  3. Wait.  So Cleveland desperately wanted McDimwit?

     

    That's all we need to know.

     

    He'll be gone during or after the 2019 season, for sure now.

    Honestly, I was going to start a thread last week exploring the idea of trading McDermott - weirder things have happened.  If the Browns were dumb enough to give us a 2nd round pick for the rights to McCoach, would you do it?  I would.

    I'd do it for a 3rd.

     

    He's going to just get fired with no compensation in return, so getting anything would be a plus.

     

    My stance on Shady being traded was the same for the same reasons.

    All we hear from July to September is about  QB reps.  Who looks good and who doesn't. Who runs the plays well and knows the offensive system. Preseason is about not getting players hurt and honestly proves nothing for QB's.

     

    It is all so insanely crazy that now we are starting scrap heap QB's (Barkley & Anderson) who weren't in camp, didn't play in preseason and obviously don't know the nuances of our offense.

     

    Is all the coach speak about having an offensive system a smoke screen?  Is it all FAKE NEWS from the media that makes millions on the NFL?

    If you were under the assumption that pre-season football can be used to evaluate players, now you know it can't.

     

    You're late to that party, my friend, but better late than never.

     

    Pre-season football games are a huge waste of time.

    If they were smart, they'd put him on IR and get him ready for next year. He needs the whole offseason to prepare and needs help around him. This year's a lost cause so I don't see a reason to put him in this year.

    Totally disagree.

     

    The faster we find out he has it, or doesn't have it, the better off we are as an organization and as fans.

     

    There's still some football to be played this year.  Get Allen's ass out there and let's see some progress.

     

    He will learn very little doing anything other than playing in regular season NFL football games.

    Kelly was the best Bills QB for my 45 years

     

    Big gap in talent to get to Joe at 2, he was good, last seen with the Lions getting KTFO against the Bears in the mid 80s

     

    and nobody honestly is worth discussing at 3

     

     

    Damn.  There goes the Kelly Holcomb/Thad Lewis/Trent Edwards debate I was planning.

    Can't wait for Fan Appreciation Day December 30. I wonder if they'll thank us for shelling out our hard earned money on badly played cold weather football. I'm sure that Peterman Osweiler duel will be a sell out ?

    I hear they're giving out free commemorative wakizashis at halftime for those who simply can't bear to watch more in the second half.

     

    Very generous of them.

    No idea how the Bills can expect anyone but the most hardcore to watch this game. 

     

    It's week 10 and this team is completely unwatchable. 

     

    I'd love to hear the last time a team had to start two QBs in the same year after they'd been on the roster less than two weeks. 

    It's a rather Billsy stat, isn't it?

     

    Our gift to the record books.

    Such is life when the starter is out.  My daughter just texted me that we wouldn't have gone through this if we had kept McCarron.  I said back it wouldn't matter; may have made the losses closer.

    I would like to talk to you about a bridge I have for sale.

     

    When are you available next week?

    He gets 2019 and that might be tenuous.  No way we should be seeing 30pt blowouts every week. The Minnesota game seems like from years ago .  How confident is Pegula giving Beane/McDemott the keys to the Bills future for the next several years?  2019 draft/free agency is huge.  They screw it up an this team is in the mire for years to come.  Lets be honest, Allen comes back and show even a glimmer and were back on track for what the said they were going to do.  But after this years qb fiasco do you believe they can go out and fix the O line, find new talent at WR/TE, find a starting CB and continue to add depth?  We lose out 1976 Bucs style maybe Terry seriously reconsiders who's running his 3 Billion investment

    I think a lot of folks around here do not follow the Sabres and hockey.

     

    Pegula fired a Stanley Cup winning HC in Dan Bylsma and the "mad genius architect of the rebuild" GM Tim Murray way ahead of when anyone saw those changes coming, and they took most Sabres fans by surprise.  Those 2 guys were almost what I'd call "aggressively" fired and most considered the changes premature.

     

    Pegula has very clearly shown that he absolutely will fire people if it doesn't look like things are going to work out, and he doesn't wait to do it.

     

     

  11. LOL.  I thought you were going to discuss the Superbowl years.


    You know, when we had an offense that was so potent and innovative, it forced the Raiders to burn a TO while on defense in an AFC championship game.   They did that out of sheer confusion.  They were "tapping out" to stop the bludgeoning for a moment while they tried to figure out what the hell was going on.

     

    I want to see THAT offense again some day before I die!

    Because 'score-a-TD-every-drive' football is BORING...    

    You and maybe seven other people in the world think that way.

     

    The Rams/Saints game is widely regarded as the crowning jewel of the NFL season so far and is precisely the brand of football the NFL, the teams, and 99.999% of all fans want to see in 2018.


    You are certainly entitled to your opinion of it as being boring, but please acknowledge that your opinion is irrelevant amidst today's landscape and furthermore, please be aware that the team which can always get that last score in a wild shootout is the team that is going to win most of the time in today's league.

     

    If a team doesn't have one hell of a good passing QB and a creative offense, it's going nowhere.

     

    I'll make a bold prediction:  when the season is over for all but 4 teams in January,  you'll see that the teams still playing football can all score points at will.

     

    You know, playing "boring" football.
