When Krueger was hired, I was really hoping he would form a relationship with McDermott. They both seem to share a lot of the same beliefs and coaching philosophies and both are so driven to keep learning and improving at their craft. It would have been a waste if they didn’t use each other as resources. Glad to hear it’s happening!

Me too. Thanks!

No. You could not ask for a better mentor for Singletary, and Gore has really taken Motor under his wing. He seems to be relishing the mentor role.

I was really impressed by their play against the Sabres. As you said, it looked like they just put it all together. They were passing circles around the Sabres at times (esp. in the 1st). As I said in my previous post, their skill at forward was on full display. Barrie/Rielly looked good too. I didn’t even think the Sabres played that bad (besides the 1st period, anyway). Toronto was just the better team.

Toronto looks really good tonight. All their skill is on display. Buffalo just doesn’t have the same talent level at forward.

Coughing is definitely the ring leader here. Jags beat reporter ^

Yep. That’s Belichick-like attention to detail.

That’s what I was coming here to say. 29/30 307 yards 4TDs 0 int. Insane! 1 pass from a perfect game.

This is a(nother) great interview with Krueger!

I think that they HOPE they can sign him. I’m sure they’ll try. But Hall’s agent said that there hasn’t been any mention of contract talks yet. New Jersey wasn’t giving teams permission to negotiate with his agent, so Arizona is making this trade totally blind (re: a contract extension). Im guessing NJ didn’t let any teams negotiate with Hall because they knew he plans to test free agency and that would lower his value. Im not saying he won’t sign in Arizona. Just that I don’t think he plans to as of now. Maybe they can convince him to. We will see.

Details of the Hall trade: https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2019/12/16/taylor-hall-trade-devils-coyotes/ “The Devils announced on Monday they have traded Hall — the 2018 league MVP — in exchange for Arizona’s 2020 first-round draft pick (conditional), their 2021 third-round draft pick (also conditional), and prospects Nick Merkley, Nate Schnarr and Kevin Bahl.“. So they are guaranteed at least a 1st + 3rd + Nick Merkley (arizona’s 2015 1st round pick), Nate Schnarr (2017 3rd round pick), Kevin Bahl (2018 2nd round pick). and could potentially end up with two 1st round picks, or a 1st + 2nd. That’s a heck of a haul for a UFA to be, though I don’t know much about the prospects, so they could be nothing special but I’m not sure. I know I would have no interest in Buffalo giving up the equivalent package though. From everything I’ve read it seems like Hall plans to test free agency. Buffalo can’t afford to give away assets for 50 games of Hall (assuming he stays healthy, which has been an issue for him)

https://www.nfl.com/standings/league/2019/REG I see above that the Bills didn’t put in a claim, but I believe the Chiefs are actually ahead of us in waiver order anyway. After the 3rd week of the season it goes by win-loss record. NFL.com’s league standings show the Bills 1 spot ahead of the Chiefs right now. So I’m assuming we are 1 spot behind them in the waiver order. (BTW, it’s so damn cool to see that little ‘x’ next to the Bills name! I’m not used to seeing that...)

One of my favorite.

I think we need to make “ride the lightning” an official Bills song now (watch P.Schrags twitter clip ^ to see what I’m referring to) ??

I can’t sleep. I’m still too excited about the win!

*180. But yeah, the McBeane regime is definitely night and day different than the Rex/Whaley regime. He said he thought it was a party under Rex. You can see that this kid has really bought in. I’m hoping he gets a contract, and I have to believe he will.

They won!! They controlled their own destiny and actually capitalized on it! I thought for sure they would torture us and take it down to the Jets game... ? (kidding. Well, mostly). now I can actually relax and enjoy the next 2 weeks. man was that ever a stressful game! I’m still trying to settle down and enjoy the win. I’ve been pacing for a good hour now. Yeah, I don’t deal with in-game stress very well... lol

This is absolute torture.

We run Gore on 2nd and 13?!

It’s going to be so damn aggravating if they end up losing this game. It’s like the browns game. It’s there for the taking. It’s up to Buffalo to quit the mistakes and start executing (on offense).

Seriously, what is it about the scripted drives to start game/2nd half? Why does our d always struggle with them? They looked like a totally different defense on that series.

Defense has to hold em here and get the ball back.

Man, the Bills are falling apart here.

Ugly opening drive for the defense. Not gonna worry yet though. The Bills D always seems to struggle with these scripted drives. Now we need the offense to answer back. Hopefully they were able to settle Allen down a bit during the 1/2. He seemed a bit too juiced up that 1st half. He was throwing 100mph bullets.
