I actually think Belichick would probably kind of like it if Brady forced his way out. It would give BB a chance to win without Tom Brady and show he was more responsible for their dynasty than Brady was. And Brady isn’t looking nearly as dangerous as in years past. He could potentially struggle quite a bit if he leaves that NE system he’s been in his entire career.

Wow the jets are getting completely embarrassed so far.

another respected analytics guy who likes what is going on in Buffalo. This is weird... I can’t remember the Sabres ever getting love from the analytics community (except for Dahlin, anyway).

This is from Dom Luszczyszyn at the Athletic. Here’s his bio for reference: “Dom is a national NHL reporter for The Athletic who writes primarily about hockey analytics and new ways of looking at the game. Previously he’s also worked at The Hockey News, The Nation Network, and Hockey Graphs.” Last year, he was never high on the Sabres, even during the 10 game win streak. He continually pointed out how poor their underlying analytics were. He seems much more impressed with this year’s team.

Sorry if this was already posted (didn’t feel like looking through 17 pages) What a play by Jordan Phillips! Wow!

Well, that definitely wasn’t the type of win I was hoping for. But a win’s a win. I’ll take it.

I get that they like Bojo, and he can absolutely boom a punt from time to time. But he’s just too inconsistent.

Wow. Not even close. What is with Allen’s deep ball this year? Has he hit a single one? BTW, We needed 5 yards, and were about 15yds from field goal range. I get taking a deep shot, but not when Allen has been so god awful on every one.

Very nice drive by Allen and the Bills offense.

Duuukkee! Edit - hope he’s ok.

Keep running the ball. It’s working a lot better than passing the ball is.

I’m about there myself. I honestly csnt can’t tell you the last time I walked away from a Bills game. But I just don’t know if I can stomach such an embarrassing loss to Miami today. Thinking about taking my dog for a walk or something. But I worry that I’ll walk away and miss a Bills comeback win and then kick myself. I hate being a Bills fan sometimes. lol

We suck

The whole team is.

Nothing else really matters this season if Josh Allen doesn’t start to look/play better. The Bills will never be a true playoff contender until they have a good starting QB. Josh has a long way to go yet. I’m not giving up on him by any means, but it’s definitely s reality check seeing him play like this against the clear cut worst team in the entire NFL.

Ugly

I agree. He hasn’t looked too great so far today. He’s had a few nice passes and runs, but other than that he’s struggling IMO. I was really hoping for a stand out game from Josh today, since this defense is ranked near last in everything. There’s still time though!

This game is a reality check for me.

Unbelievable. Which team is the one one that’s supposed to be tanking, and is ranked last in almost every statistical category?

Good point. Hopefully it holds true again today. Though I’d be fine if Miami wants to fall apart even sooner than that. lol I was really hoping for a definitive win from buffalo today.

They’re just falling apart every time they get in field goal range. Aggravating that they can’t even put up TD’s against an awful Miami team that’s dead last or near dead last in every category on offense and defense. It’s concerning to be honest. It’s a bit of a reality check so far. I hope it’s just rust and they shake it off as the game goes on.

I was worried about this game all week. In previous seasons, this game is a classic “Bills **** the bed” scenario. I truly want to believe that this team is different. I hope they prove they are. So far, Buffalo isn’t looking great. There’s still lots of time left though. I’m trying to have some faith.

I am really encouraged by Mittelstadt’s last few games. I’m hoping that he’s found his confidence and is turning a corner in his development. That whole Mittelstadt line has been pretty good the past 2 games. Another great game from Jokiharju, too. Kid has been a huge surprise for me. I knew Blackhawk fans were hyping him up at the beginning of last season, but I didn’t start watching him until Jeremy Colliton took over for Q, and there was so much chaos in their new man to man system, it was hard to judge anyone. But now I see why they were so hyped up. Krueger’s system is much more similar to Quenneville’s, where as Colliton’s is more similar to Housley’s. He’s obviously a better fit in this defense. I still can’t believe the hawks traded him for Nylander! lol All because he struggled in a new coaches system. A 31yr old rookie coach who looked in WAY over his head and who the Blackhawk players don’t seem to respect.

Nice win from what I saw (slept through the 1st and a bit of the 2nd).

Those casual Eichel backhand passes (especially at the blue line).... might be my biggest pet peeve with Eichel.
