While the complaint is stupid, there are things the winning coach could have done to make it less embarrassing. Pull the starters at halftime, or once you get above 60 points tell your guys to run out of bounds short of the first down. When I coached hockey and we were blowing a team out, I'd have the players just dump it in instead of shooting, or have them make 3 passes in O zone before shooting, or have players switch positions. You never want to embarrass an opponent once you have control of the game.

Maybe Roy would know what buttons to push to get Grigerinko going. Problem is he would have wanted a say on personnel, and that won't happen with Darcy there, so they settle for someone just happy to have a coaching job.

Smart teams, not the Sabres. They won't fully commit to a rebuild, they hang on to overpriced vets like Stafford and Leino, and don't trade vets with expiring contracts like Miller and Vanek. So they'll win just enough to miss out on the top picks. It won't change as long as Darcy is in charge. And look at how quickly Colorado has turned it around with a quality coach like Roy. They had the worst record last year, and now are 5-0 to start.

I think he's a bit of a Mr Magoo, he means well but can't see what's going on in front of him. When he bought the team and said Darcy and Lindy "ain't going nowhere", that was the first uh-oh moment. Then he blamed the media for being too critical, and said the team would do better if they were more supportive. Maybe his advisors and trophy wife keep him sheltered from the truth, or he's like Dan Snyder; smart in business but not in sports.

There was an article last year that said if London got a team they would play a few weeks in London, and then come to the US for a few weeks at a time, to reduce the Atlantic crossings. The NFL would build them a training facility in the US for them to stay at. Delaware was mentioned. And teams going to London to play would do so around the time of their bye week. The tough thing might be convincing players, especially free agents, to agree to play for them.

Factually incorrect. They Bills were the main topic of conversation before the draft and throughout the summer, including doing their broadcasts from St John Fisher. And of course they talked about the Sabres this morning, they just played last night. Just as the talk on Monday will be about the Bills game.

They continue to rehash the same tired talking points over and over again.. EJ, Marrone, Hackett, and should they trade Byrd. The Bills are going to be one of the worst teams in the league again this season... Not unlike the Sabres but still Football is talked about all year long and they were heavy in to the Bills coverage starting in July.

But in London they're used to low scoring games from soccer, so they'd appreciate the defenses.

If two bad teams play against each other, won't that make them look good because it's an even match.

If the Bills played more games in a week, then they would get more coverage. Look at how they covered them when they played Thursday. They went 72 hours straight with local coverage, much of it devoted to the Bills. It's just a fact that there are more dynamics to talk about when a team plays more games in a week. WGR broadcast from Bills training camp every day they were at St John Fisher. And your assertion that Kaleta doesn't belong in the league exposes your lack of hockey knowledge.

There is more talk about hockey because in a typical week there are 3 to 4 Sabres games as opposed to 1 Bills game. Naturally they're going to talk about the hockey game playing that night or played the night before. There's more dynamics in a given week. How much can you talk about 1 football game? They focus on the Bills on Mondays, Fridays, and exclusively all Sunday morning, and they still get coverage on the other days. But you can only debate about how the 4th string QB is going to do for so long.

No this is on management. Give the customers a product worth seeing and they'll come. It's like having a concert and finding out the lead singer has been replaced with a 4th string karaoke singer. Who cares who the drummer is. I'm going because I bought tickets before the season started when they had at least two viable QBs. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to buy now.

I don't mind rebuilding, but having the same GM do it for a third time is unbelievable. Pegula showed so much promise when he bought the team, but keeping Darcy this long shows a real lack of hockey knowledge for him and his advisors. Should have cleaned house last year. How many years does it take to have a decent power play? They had three 5 on 3 chances last week and still couldn't score. The last decent PP was when Briere was here.

Anyone know the deal with the CFL? It seems like a QB there would love a chance to move to the NFL. Is there some agreement between leagues, or the player's contract that prohibits it? There has to be a QB there that is as capable as some of the options being discussed.

If they can get one of the top QBs then go for it. EJ is not a guaranteed success, and look at the situation they're in now. Washington is an example of what can happen to a read option QB. If they end up with two quality QBs, then one is trade bait. Otherwise they'll need to pick a CB.

Why run the read option if EJ is never going to keep it?

Spiller 1st and nothing as usual.

And the stomach to prove you ask for extra cheese and mayo.

My favorite scene was Walt seeing Skyler for the last time. And I'm glad that Walt died in a moment of relative happiness, reminiscing about how good he was at cooking the meth. If Marie was so worried about Skyler, then why not let them move in to her nice house instead of having them live in some projects. I was hoping that Marie ended up taking some poison or going to jail for repeated shoplifting. As for Lydia, the ricin in the tea was a bit too predictable, I would rather Jessie got to take her out in front of Todd. Some have talked about Jessie ending up taking care of Brock, but that doesn't seem feasible. Jessie is a known drug user, and by the end the DEA probably know he was involved with the meth, so they would be looking for him. Plus Brock already would have a guardian, perhaps his grandmother. More likely he hooks up with Skinny Pete and Badger, and gets enough cash to get out of state.

Predictions: Walt uses the ricin on the Schwartz's. Meanwhile, Marie makes dinner for Skyler and Walt Jr., but poisons the food to take her own life and theirs. She has nothing to live for, and this is her way to get revenge on Walt. Walt goes to the Aryan compound and kills all of them except Todd, who is there with Lydia. Walt frees Jessie, and Jessie makes Todd watch him kill Lydia as payback, then kills Todd. Jessie turns the gun towards Walt, Walt is resigned to die, but Jessie can't do it and kills himself instead. Walt falls to his knees sobbing and it fades to black. We then see from Walt's POV as he opens his eyes. He's in a hospital bed and is surrounded by all his loved ones. He's on morphine and near death. They're all crying and smiling. His eyes start to close, and it fades to black a he dies. Was he hallucinating that he saw them, or was the whole show a hallucination? You decide. Or to make it sadder, after he passes away, there's a view of the room, and he did in fact die alone in a prison hospital.

Coach Rolston reported that Tropp had surgery to repair a broken jaw. Out for 5-6 weeks.

Fans get their expectations up too high, especially after a win, because we're so desperate for success. There were some talking about possibly making the playoffs and Manuel being RotY. Then when they have a stinker game it's crushing and fans overreact. I've learned to expect the worst, and that way it's not so crushing when it occurs. If they have success it's gravy, but I don't expect it to last. I don't like thinking this way, but the Bills and Sabres over the years have made me cynical.

Rolston fined for player selection and team conduct. WTF, now the league gets to tell a coach who they can play? Plus Scott was already on from the last shift, Rolston didn't send him out. If anyone should be fined for player selection it shoul be Darcy Regier for his career. The league has to appease the Toronto fans and get a pound of flesh from the Sabres. What rule in the book says who a player is allowed to fight? They can get an instigator and fighting penalty, but that's it. Scott got jumped by two Leafs and a linesman, and still got slashed and speared by Kessel while being held back. Kessel suspended for rest of preseason! What a joke. Are the going to give him an official NHL purse as a parting gift too?
