Actually Terry spent like a drunk sailor when he first bought the team.
Yea, 14 years ago. Since COVID he stripped things down to a skeleton crew. That’s actually part of why Adams got the job. He was willing to be the hatchet man.-

FYI, the deal the Sabres just made saves Pegula about $4m bucks. He’s basically run that team on an austerity budget since COVID.

I say it a lot, but I don't believe there is a worse product in pro-sports than a perpetually bad NHL team. Especially one that purposely avoids physical-style players. The games are a snoozefest. The Sabres play soooo many meaningless games. Add in the terrible arena and awful game presentation, it is a terrible product for, what $40 a seat?
The team was actually kind of entertaining when Nolan was a coach during the tank years. You at least knew the team would try hard for 60 minutes, even though they stunk.People don’t want to see a spoiled 22 year old floating around out there while the team is missing the playoffs again.

I find it slightly weird, and very on-brand for Buffalo, that Terry Pegula is hated for the Sabres more than he's given credit for how his other teams do. The Bills are awesome, the Bandits are a dynasty and the Amerks have deep playoff runs every season. Why do we always focus on the negative?
Lol, it's probably a good thing he's only focused on the Sabres.
There is an argument that the Pegulas just kind of got lucky with McBeane, and then lucky again with Allen. His first hire was Rex Ryan.A lot of the Sabres woes seem to point to Pegula having an active role in the team.
Nobody will give him credit for AHL or NLL success, those are borderline semipro leagues (and the Amerks haven’t really been successful over his ownership anyway taken as a whole.

I just got enough courage to watch this. I think the most disappointing thing was learning that our new Senior Advisor to the GM, Jarmo Kekalainen, will still live in Columbus, OH and work remotely. When you consider our current Associate GM (Jason Karmanos) lives in Pittsburgh and works remotely, well, the optics look like crap.
Kevyn Adams constantly preaches "We want people that want to be here" yet he can't even get his own high-level front office people inside the building.
I’m pretty sure the new intern (i.e. Adams’ buddy Staal) is also working remotely.It’s crazy how poorly run this team is. They have the longest playoff drought streak of all time and have a 4 season lead on 2nd place.
It really makes me wonder how Pegula was competent enough to build and run a billion dollar business.

He started 240 consecutive games. 5th all-time in passing yards and TDs. Guys like that make the HOF
I don’t think the HOF cares about iron man streaks. He only has one or two seasons where he was definitely a top 3 QB (2008 definitely).- No MVPs
- No All-Pros (not even 2nd team)
- No post season success on some pretty stacked teams.
He won a comeback player of the year award because he came back from sucking so hard.He was a good player, but you need to be among the best in your peer group to be a HOF player and Rivers was always in the second tier or even third tier.

Was that Adams’ worst press conference ever? He’s had some doozeys, but that was next level.

Idk who needs to hear this, but Philip Rivers is not gonna get into the HOF.

This feels a little bit like find the conclusion you want and work your way backwards to find the justification.

Also would add Spencer Brown when he gets rolling on a running play. Good luck to a LBer in his path.

Milano when he’s playing healthy. Bernard and Shakir are also consistently entertaining players to me.

Oilers remind me of the Bills. Multiple deep runs, totally dependent on an elite player. Don't have the supporting cast in place to get it done.

Oh dont underestimate our ability to worry lol we gonna find something
LOL I will throw 4 out there...
1. Keon got jacked in the offseason looks great.. is this gonna make him even slower? LOL
2. Dalton Kincaid is too skinny but may be faster are he and Keon gonna switch positions...
3. Now that Josh is married is he gonna be distracted?
4. Will Joey Bosa sprain his tounge eating chicken wings due to inexperience? And will he use Ranch dressing LOL....
Hows that? 🤣
Kincaid at boundary WR and Keon playing the slot...now that's interesting...-

My expectations for Tre White are super low. The only sliver of hope I have, is that it’s possible he recovers some of his speed the further we get from his Achilles tear.
-
I would say 7 wins without Allen. 9 wins if missing both Dawkins and Brown. No other individual player affects the win total.

This is likely Milano's last year so they must be feeling pretty good about Dorian Williams because they haven't drafted anybody else yet.
Could go the free agent route next offseason. This is probably a big year in terms of evaluation for Williams.-

I am not a Baylor Spector or Dorian Williams believer, so any competition is good IMO. Especially with how often our LBers seem to get hurt.

situational 3-4 sack guy, maybe 5 sacks tops. Likely looks great against bad teams and invisible against good ones.
Did he look invisible because he literally didn’t get any snaps? Lol. -

I don’t think the conversation is strictly based on this season. Our offense has been better than our defense but hasn’t really lit it throughout the playoffs every year- although we’ve had some tremendous games.
I do think the defense has been worse than our offense and should carry more blame
Our offense in the playoffs the past 4 postseasons has scored: 47, 36, 34, 10, 31, 24, 31, 27, and 29 points. That is almost exactly an average of 30 points scored per game. That is actually insane for the playoffs. A lot of those games were against top-5 defenses for those seasons. In games we were eliminated we scored 36, 10, 24, 29. Obviously that Cincy game sticks out there, but that end of season was whack.
By the way, the KC offense has averaged 28.3 points scored per game in that same postseason time period, and they've never lost if they scored more than 24 points. I would argue the defense shoulders 100% of the blame for our playoff eliminations and close-calls (except for the Cincy game, which was a team effort, and the offense had bad turnovers in the Miami wildcard game).-

is he arguing against that notion? I don’t think anyone in this conversation is.
I would absolutely argue against that notion. The offense scored the most point given up by the Chiefs in Arrowhead in 2 seasons, and the defense allowed the most points the Chiefs had scored all season. The Chiefs defense was top 5, the Chiefs offense was middle of the pack.You can’t boil a 60 minute game down to a single crucial moment. All of the drives matter, and the offense performed extremely well in terms of points scored, and the defense played extremely poorly in terms of points allowed.

I wonder how much an equivalent house built in WNY would cost (same finishings and everything). $1.5m?
-
I’ve never rewatched an entire game, I don’t have time for that.
I didn’t watch highlights from the 13 seconds game for a long time. I still avoid highlights from our playoff losses.

So over the last two years Benford's PF grade is 4th, his advanced coverage grade is 6th so they rank him 8th?
Might partially be the defense he plays in. He’s a coverage corner. The skills of a primarily man corner might be more valued.-

Idk. You don’t rush for 2K unless you are supremely talented and I don’t recall anyone coming close to those numbers w/ that current Eagles line. And he did so after their HOF center retired.
Miles Sanders went from 5 yards per carry, 1300 yards, and 11 TDs with the Eagles to 3.3 yards per carry, 400 yards and 1 TD the next season.
Swift last season had 4.6 yards per carry (1 yard per carry fewer than Barkley), but 100 less touches.
I think that shows even mid-tier RBs can put up borderline elite stats with the Eagles o-line. What made Barkley have such a great season is he can beat LBers and DBs to break more long ones, where mid-tier RBs get tackled.
