  1. Even if they had picked up a few loser points on that 8 game losing streak it would’ve been a big help. Losing all 8 of those games in regulation put them in a big hole. They’ve done well digging out of it though.
  2. That 3rd period was great! Just an explosion of goal scoring by the Sabres. Tage Thompson with another 2+ goal game. What a season he’s having! And we thought last season was his break out year… 😂
  3. I’m actually happy about this signing. I just hope Beasley can keep his damn mouth shut and stay off Twitter. He may have never been cut in the 1st place if he hadn’t asked for his trade/release. I think the Bills wanted him to take a small pay cut iirc, and in hindsight he should’ve. He would’ve made millions more this season than he ended up making.
  4. Glad they at least got a point last night. Skinner pretty much killed any chance of picking up that 2nd point with his 5 minute major (that would’ve lasted the entire overtime period). But I figured Buffalo was losing in regulation when they went down a goal with barely 3 minutes left. So props for getting it to OT. Its easier to live with losses when they at least pick up that loser point.
  5. wtf is a contendant? I’ve never heard that word before and the article uses it numerous times. do they mean contender?
  6. i guess he feels like he doesn’t have anything to prove to anyone, including his new teammates + coaches, and also doesn’t feel like he needs to contribute to his new team making it into the playoffs in the 1st place. Guess he also doesn’t feel like he needs to get into game shape before the playoffs start. I don’t really like this attitude (and I’ve been for bringing him in), but I guess if the Bills players are ok with it then it’s whatever. As long as it doesn’t mess up the team chemistry I’m ok with him being a hired gun for the playoffs. It would’ve been much better if he had just said something like he’s still working back from injury and might not be ready till the playoffs, though.
  7. This is insane. 9-2 Buffalo at the end of the 2nd. Tage with 5 goals!
  8. Has Beane actually said that? If so, I’m not sure I really understand that thinking. You could say the same about any big money contract - if that player gets injured it leaves a big hole in your lineup. That’s not a reason to not sign good players in free agency. It’s not like free agents are more prone to injury than guys you draft/develop + sign to big money… Also, I really don’t get all the “Von’s injury suddenly makes this a bad contract” takes in this thread. It was an injury. They happen in football all the time. It doesn’t suddenly make the Von signing a bad contract. The Bills needed a true finisher on the D line. They went and signed one of the best. Does the injury leave a big hole in the lineup? Yes. But doesn’t that kind of help prove it was a good signing?
  9. The difference in professionalism between Buffalo and Dallas seems very obvious throughout this whole OBJ tour saga. Just the way Dallas (and Jerry Jones) has gone about everything compared to Buffalo, the Bills have been much more professional IMO.
  10. Wasn’t expecting that.
  11. Yeah, no worries! all that snow is long gone. We had 5+ feet on our front lawn and now I can see the grass 😂 Most of the streets were cleaned within a day or two of the storm anyway. Buffalo is very efficient at snow removal. We know how to handle a snowstorm. Have fun at the game!
  12. Not surprising. OBJ is coming off injury and might not even be back to 100% at all this season. Looking at it from his POV, why would he only sign a deal for the rest of the year? I feel like he would be better off just waiting until the season is over then. He’d have a lot more teams interested I’m sure. Looking at the pool of free agent WR’s for 2023, it looks pretty weak. I think OBJ would be near (or at) the top of the list. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-free-agency-2023-wide-receivers-jakobi-meyers-juju-smith-schuster-allen-lazard If Buffalo signs OBJ I am confident it will be for more than this season. It will likely all come down to what the other teams offer and what OBj is willing to settle for. I don’t see the Bills giving him crazy money. Certainly not the $20M/yr he’s rumored to supposedly want. I could see a 2-3 year deal with incentives and lighter on guaranteed $$ and I’d be good with that. The Bills need a #2 WR to play opposite Diggs. I thought Davis would fill that role. But now I’m not sure he’s capable. I’m also ok with letting him walk if someone else offers him stupid money.
  13. what a hit by Dahlin!!
  14. Pretty great day for the Bills!! Jets loss. Miami loss. Chiefs loss. A perfect Sunday! 😂
  15. Von said a while back that he wouldn’t have left LA if he hadn’t won the super bowl there.
  16. Reports were that Ullmark was willing to stay and just wanted term and Buffalo wouldn’t give it to him. I like a lot of what Adams has done but letting Ullmark walk over term (if true) is IMO probably Adams biggest mistake so far. Why not just give him the 5 year deal he wanted (and got in Boston)? Who would they have been blocking? Right now Ullmark is near the top of the league in save percentage and GAA. Obviously playing for Boston helps that, but he was a serviceable starter here. Even a league average starter would be a big upgrade for Buffalo. He was a good team guy too. Definitely fits the culture they’re building.
  17. Lindy really has the devils playing some good hockey. They look like an exciting young up and coming team. Devils fans have sure changed their tune on him! they went from booing him and chanting for him to be fired… to this! That’s pretty awesome that they chanted “sorry Lindy!”. I’m happy he’s finding success there. I wish he wasn’t so successful against Buffalo last night, but I’m happy for Lindy overall.
  18. Yeah the online shopping has definitely minimized it I think. Plus a lot of places start their Black Friday sales days or even a week+ before Black Friday now. And then we have cyber Monday sales that are often better than Black Friday sales.
  19. Even on his worst day he is Still better than Collinsworth
  20. A win is a win. I’ll take it! happy thanksgiving y’all!
