  1. The only call that really pissed me off was the holding penalty on the 3rd down of the very last BILLS' drive. I didn't see a hold but after you allowed the two offensive lines to yoke guys all game, you call one in THAT situation? That cost the BILLS' 40 seconds of clock and gave the Steelers a chance to win the game. Total BS.
  2. It's just reps. Dude is 21 years old. I don't remember another NFL player who is in his second year at that age. Pretty much everyone would be a senior in college. Kid could be very special.
  3. I'd trade him for nothing if someone is willing to take his salary. That's a total win.
  4. Life in America is so easy that we're now offended by already attractive people working to better themselves.
  5. Revenue is up 69% since 2010. It's not even close to dying and cannon fodder still makes the owners money via the television deals and revenue sharing. Baseball is doing just fine financially.
  6. No. Different time, different rules, different ownership. There was no salary cap and the Sabres weren't owned by a billionaire with unlimited resources. Your crusade was tiring 2 seasons ago. Seriously, you're just being a dick now.
  7. If we can't beat the a team starting their 3rd string QB, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs.
  8. Everything in life is about balance. The further you get away from balance, the more likely your world will have chaos.
  9. There is no question that changing out almost 90% of your offensive starters with such a complex scheme is having an affect. The BILLS' receivers are still dropping too many balls (the most egregious yesterday was Smoke dropping an absolutely perfect pass after Allen made an all-world escape). The choice of Gore over Shady is also not looking wise.
  10. The BILLS have one of the most complicated offenses in the NFL. The new veteran WRs have said as much numerous times.
  11. Anyone who wants to know how much coaching matters only needs to watch the OT. This is the first time since the 3-on-3 format was adopted that the Sabres looked like they had a clue of what they were doing. TOTAL domination in the extra session.
  12. I'd ask what the criteria is but from the list, there clearly isn't one. I doubt even ONE singer ever was influenced by Bob Dylan's vocals.
  13. The tank was 100% successful. We got Eichel, who is a top NHL center and has his entire prime contractually locked up and we had tons of assets to build a very successful team. GMTM wasted those assets AND hired the absolute wrong coaches. It was the perfect example of what not to do after getting the most important piece of your rebuild.
  14. I agree with this. That streak was almost completely smoke and mirrors. It was exciting but just about every game the Sabres were outplayed by the opponent but kept pulling rabbits out. They are still a work in progress and need another guy to create offense but this is the first time in a long time that the coach seems to understand his pieces and is putting them in the best position to succeed. He's tailoring the system to the talent instead of the alternative.
  15. I saw him on his last tour. Everything he did was new. He was the definition of legend.
  16. I think it's ok for the new coach to hold EVERY player accountable. Those are messages that need to be sent.
