  1. Come on defense. Lets get s turnover here!
  2. Watson’s ball security has been awful today.
  3. I am like that on almost every play in the NFL these days. I am always waiting for a flag, or some dumb ass rule, to overturn any exciting play.
  4. Josh Allen didn’t look too excited that the Bills scored there.
  5. What a throw by Nate! Dropping a dime into the corner of the end Zone!
  6. You are allowed to tackle someone by his hair? Never knew that...
  7. Yeah, about all that stuff I said last season on how I might have to eat a bunch of crow for not wanting Deshaun Watson... I take it back. lol (i’m joking around. I still think it’s too soon to judge. Just as a said after his hot start last year).
  8. Matt Milano really coming into his own. He’s looking like he could be a steal in the 5th
  9. Hey! And it wasn’t wiped out by a flag! amazing! lol
  10. I dodn’t. Apparently our coaches didn’t either.
  11. Nice throw Josh! 2 in a row, actually...
  12. If Beane acquired about Mack, I’m guessing he will acquire about Cooper too. At leas5 I sure hope he does. I know he had a down year last season, and has been kind of up and down this season. But he’s got a ton of talent and is young enough that he could continue to grow with Josh Allen. If the price is right, get it done!
  13. It honestly amazes me that there are actually Bills fans who seem mad that the Bills don’t want to trade Shady for a 4th or 5th round pick.
  14. Nice night for the Sabres. Dahlin gets his first goal Ullmark gets his first NHL shutout and Jeff Skinner gets his first goal as a Sabre.
  15. You can tell he’s getting more and more comfortable every game he plays. We are starting to see more frequent flashes of his offensive talent. It’s actually really impressive how quickly he’s adapting to the NHL. Especially as an 18yr old defenseman playing top 4 minutes.
  16. It’s scary, to be perfectly honest. I’m trying hard to keep the faith.... It'll sure help if I see some improvements in this area as the season goes on. I really want to believe that he can improve at reading defenses and finding open receivers, but it’s hard to when he just hasn’t shown much of any ability to do it so far in his college and NFL career. Dont get me wrong, I haven’t given up on him by any means. But he has yet to ease any of the fears I had when we drafted him.
  17. good analysis of this play (and Allen’s struggle reading a defense) by Erik Turner (Cover 1).
  18. That’s exactly why they pulled the goalie. It’s a pretty common thing in hockey. It all depends on the coach and the score of the game. If a team is down by 2+, they usually pull the goalie earlier than if they are only down by 1. Some coaches are more daring about it. Like Housley, for example, during the Sabres 1st game of the year pulled the goalie with 5 minutes left in the game. They were down 3-0 though. That used to be somewhat unusual (and it still is to some degree) to pull a goalie with that much time left. But Patrick Roy kind of started that trend his first season coaching the Avalanche, and it worked for Colorado. Then you started to see other coaches pulling their goalie earlier than normal. Roy actually pulled his goalie a few different times with 10+ minutes remaining in the game (once with 13mins left)! I don’t know of any other coaches who have repeated that off hand. Here’s a good article on it from a few years ago, if you are interested - https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nhl-coaches-are-pulling-goalies-earlier-than-ever/
