  1. Your vet isn’t just going to kill your cat because you’re sick of taking care of it. I really hope this is a troll thread.

     

    If you really don’t want it, put it up for adoption.

     

    if this is actually a serious thread and you are in WNY I am willing to try and find someone to take it for you if you can’t.

  2. “In Ruff's world, if you don't play hard, you pay the price

    Sprints and pushups were the order of the day during Thursday's practice”

    The Buffalo Sabres have only had two practices with Lindy Ruff as head coach, and they’re finding out you’ll either do things his way, or you won’t play.

     

    During Thursday's practice, one team had a bad change and he got that team off the bench, made them do down-and-back sprints, and then push ups.

    seems like a bit of an overpay. I was thinking like $1M AAV max. But they have a ton of cap space so it’s not a big deal, and I prefer this to trading him for a mid/late round pick (which is honestly kind of what I was expecting). I’m hoping he can still develop into a useful player for the Sabres.

  4. I am trying to keep in mind that this is very likely a transition year for the Bills.

     

    They have $63 million ($63 MILLION!) in dead cap space + a ton of roster turnover. 

     

    I am still obviously hoping they can make a Super Bowl run but I’m trying to be realistic. I think early season growing pains are probably likely, especially on defense with a 1st time play caller (ever, at any level afaik), 2 new starting safties and no Matt Milano.

    They didn’t want to pay a RB big money. So, they let him test FA. What happened is that he never came back to the Giants to see if they would beat the Eagles offer because he wanted to stick it to the giants for tagging him last year. He also was probably tired of losing. The Giants have made it clear that they would have beat the Eagles offer. 

    That’s mostly accurate. Except his agent did call Schoen back with the highest offer Barkley got. The whole sequence was shown on hard knocks. The giants weren’t willing to match fully.

    hard knocks made it clear that Schoen really didn’t want to re-sign Barkley (as you said).

     

    and as you said, Barkley didn’t really want to be there anymore either.

     

    He said he felt disrespected by the way the giants handled his contract negotiations - how they were only willing to offer him more money if he could find some other team on the open market that was willing to pay him.

    Me too. I am also surprised by Toohill over Jonathan even though I know Jonathan had a mixed summer and was probably on the bubble. If they'd kept five ends and used that spot on another position I wouldn't have been at all surprised. For Toohill who has been hurt and looked rough on Saturday to jump him surprises me. 

    This is what Joe Buscaglia said about it on the athletic:

    Defensive end (6)

    Greg Rousseau, A.J. Epenesa, Dawuane Smoot, Von Miller, Javon Solomon, Casey Toohill

     

    The top four of Rousseau, Epenesa, Smoot and Miller were all locks, with the rookie Solomon joining them after showing some real pass-rushing potential. Solomon made Kingsley Jonathan expendable, as the sixth defensive end had to offer special teams upside. Jonathan had made strides in that area, but Toohill is the more consistent player in that department. I’d expect the Bills to try and get both Jonathan and Cline back on the practice squad if they clear waivers.

  7. It’s no more of an issue than it was the previous season with Kyle Allen (who may be even worse than Trubisky), or a couple seasons ago with Trubisky (again). Im also not sure if Keenum was much better than trubisky last year…

    Dianna Russini is pretty well sourced especially in NY has the timeline yesterday. Sounds like it came from the agent but makes sense. 

     

    Yeah that makes sense.

     

    It still seems dumb (to me anyway) on the Jets part to make this trade if they didn’t want to pay him.
