  1. Play to win always.  I was a big fan of the Sabres since they started but the tank years have left a bitter taste in my mouth.  Haven't been able to watch a full game in the last 2 years.  Can't believe I actually can't watch a current game after all those years of enjoying them.  They killed my spirit.  I do follow the stories and standings but don't attend or watch.   Hope it never happens with the Bills.

    Review should be done in real time not frame by frame. 

     

    Great suggestion - I'm on board with that.   If a play requires frame by frame study, the original call should be upheld. 

    I don't believe for a second that there's any fix in with officials but I do truly believe there is a definite hugh referee bias.  NE hardly ever gets routine holding or blocks in the back.  It also seems like they get way too many calls in their favor on crucial plays especially drive continuing calls offensively and defensively.  

  3. The key will be to put pressure on Brady.  He normally has a good pocket to throw from and plenty of time.  If he has time, we'll be dissected early and often and the game will be over quickly.  Pressure and aggressiveness is needed.  Can we do it?  Possible but not very likely.  See another cakewalk for the Pats.  God forbid we get an early lucky lead, then they'll really kick our butts the whole 2nd half.

    There is where “the process” lost me. It began with the appearance that it was all about accumulating draft choices. We traded away several big names with the idea of building in the draft. Then the regime begins to do the opposite. We give up a comp pick for average players, and trade away several picks for Benjamin. I don’t have to agree with everything a regime does to appreciate their thought process. However, I become completely lost when there is no consistency to a plan. 

     

    I believe it's the same process Tim Murray used with the Sabres

    No, it's not about "character" anymore....I would like the team to have all decent men who conduct themselves professionally and reasonably both on and off the field, but at this point it's about what Hughes costs the team while IN the game. 

     

    If we were to take every positive Hughes play, ala TFL and Sacks, meaning ones that can be measured and not just, "he set the edge but he doesn't get credit" - because those can't be measured - and then added the negative yards he gets for stupid, selfish penalties (not saying yesterday was one of them, not saying it wasn't), what would be the NET yardage afterwards?

     

    I've said before, I don't think Hughes is on the team come 2018, and it's not because he's a bad player, it's because his lack of discipline does not fit the McD and Beane mold. Additionally, what good is getting a sack for negative 7 yards only to give up 15 yards and a first down either one or two downs later or at some crucial point in the game? I don't see the benefit when viewing the game or season as a whole. 

     

     

    Take away all the passion and you're the Sabres.
