Yeah, not a fan of the game plan/play calling so far. Hopefully Dorsey adjusts and/or finds his groove. They are playing a very good defense though. At least the Bills Defense is playing excellent so far!

Jason Kelce was just joking around.

Heck of a stand by the giants defense. 3 separate big 3rd down stops!

Purdy seemed intent on forcing the ball to Deebo on that last series from inside the 20.

Any word yet on if it will be live streamed? Hopefully the Capitals do a live stream and the Sabres pick it up. preseason coverage is always so hit or miss.

I saw that live. It made me queasy. Gave me flashbacks to my knee injury. I actually had a very similar knee injury, except that my knee was bent 90° in the wrong direction forward. It completely tore my ACL, MCL, ripped a big chunk of my meniscus right off the bone and chipped my knee bone. My first knee doctor was one of the guys who works on the Bills and UB football players and he told me he never drained more fluid from someone’s knee than mine. It looked like I had a watermelon around my knee 😂 I really feel for Chubb.

Yes, I agree. They’ve never had a prospect pool like this since the rebuild started in 2013. They have good prospects in juniors, the AHL, Russia, Europe… it’s crazy! I was just saying that the #1 prospect pool ranking (the ranking itself) probably doesn’t mean much to Sabres fans that haven’t really been following the team lately like pine barrens.

The Sabres still had the #1 prospect pool ranking in 2014/15, 2018 and numerous top 3 rankings too. https://theathletic.com/459786/2018/08/30/pronman-2018-19-nhl-farm-system-rankings/?amp=1 But I agree, this time is different. They have an insane amount of good prospects right now. And it’s actually transferring to the ice this time. Prospects are developing, both in the AHL and NHL. I wasn’t disagreeing with your post BTW. I was just pointing out that to a casual Buffalo Sabres fan who hasn’t been paying attention to this latest version of the rebuild, I can see why a top prospect pool doesn’t mean a whole lot to them.

I think it would be tough for the Bills to stomach the dead cap hit. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/kaiir-elam-76877/#:~:text=Kaiir Elam signed a 4,dead cap value of %2411%2C201%2C572. $11M dead cap if he’s traded this year.

i think he’s talking about 2015-2020 ish with the old core like Eichel, Reinhart, Nylander, etc. It is true that the Sabres had the #1 ranked prospect pool multiple times during the previous rebuild and it never led to winning. However, I do think this time is different. Their pipeline this time is sooooo deep. Way deeper than any time in the last decade or more. And it actually seems like the kids are developing this time. Plus, they’re already having success in the NHL. I am really looking forward to this season!

Wtf?! What happened? edit - I had read about him asking p,Ayers to share photos of their families to get to know each other better. Apparently this all stems from that? I don’t get why he was forced to resign over that.

Tua looks good. He’s a very good fit for this offense.

Did not like that play call edit - Diggs was actually wide open.

Ugh, these 3rd and longs 🤬

Picking up the flag was the right move. That was not DPI.

Good series by Dorsey. Some really nice play calls on that drive.

Beautifully executed fake run!

No clue what #39 was upset about. That was 100% defensive pass interference.

We need the good version of Josh Allen today.

Yikes

And you could almost make an entire second team of good prospects from the guys in the Sabres pipeline that aren’t at the prospect challenge!

Good article on the athletic that touched on some of this: https://theathletic.com/4867821/2023/09/16/josh-allen-bills-quarterback-turnovers/
