Obviously the Bills take precedence. But I like watching the Sabres too. Don Granato is their McDermott. It's just that they are still at square one.

I mean, sort of? It has been more than 20 years since both teams were relevant at the same time, it is tough to remember what life was like back then. But right now? Still trying to forget the Sabres exist, especially with Eichel back at practice and Tyler Johnson getting pretty quick approval by the Blackhawks for the same exact procedure.

Well, the Sabres' doctor is some kind of expert on that procedure and he advised against it. Either the Pegulas were locked in on following his advice or the relationship with Eichel had become so toxic that the surgery was just cover for issues that were not going to get fixed even by a successful operation. If they had been willing to risk the surgery, I think they could have gotten a better return, but water under the bridge . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Andrew Cappuccino, the guy who saved Bills TE Kevin Everett, is the Sabres consultant. He's one of the doctors that developed the ADR procedure Eichel wanted so bad. He also performed more ADR surgeries than any other surgeon. So the guy has some credibility on the matter. He felt that the procedure is too risky for NHL players who could get slammed head-first into the boards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player that's hurt is talking "vet days" or some such nonsense to manage reps...that's an injury that's supposed to be logged according to the league. It has absolutely nothing to do with who will be available on game day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I've been saying this for years now, but Bruce Smith has aged extremely well. He has ALWAYS looked like he was practically in game shape after his career ended. So many big guys in this league turn into bloated whales in retirement...not Bruce.

It COULD be a high scoring game, but all data says that is highly unlikely. I expect a close, tight, low scoring game, with mistakes on both sides. I'm thinking fumbles, drops, and dropped easy INTs will be seen. The kicking game won't hardly exist. 2 minutes ago, Bob Chandler's Hands said: Skating isn't the issue.

The league now looks much more like the Swedish Elite League than the NHL of the '70s, '80s, or '90s. Remember Scott Stevens killing people in open ice? Then, the mantra was "keep your head up, kid!" and Stevens was applauded as one of the greats of the game. Now, every one of those hits would result in fines and suspensions for Stevens. It's a different league now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 2 hours ago, No Place To Hyde said: I mean, every team tinkers with the injury reports. You really think all the Bills are 100% healthy and injury free right now because ours is clear? Adding players that end up playing really isn't much different that not having guys on there that are injured, missing practice time to "vet rest" "Illness-non COVID" or such. Of course this is true, all professional sports teams are going to try to find every edge and gain a competitive advantage. The way Belichick has misused the injury report consistently for over a decade has gone well beyond that IMO...how many other teams this season have listed 13 guys as questionable in a given week and/or repeatedly given the same rating to players with big differences in their injury severity (for example, Isaiah Wynn hasn't practiced in two days and David Andrews has been listed on the injury report with the same shoulder injury since Week 13 (December 7th) but played in every game). The Patriots have also lost the benefit of the doubt with this kind of thing...it's not the biggest deal in the world, but it seems like the NFL should figure out a way to prevent teams from using the injury report in this way.

"He ordered a salad for luch? What's he hiding?" Put it another way...who is this fooling? Do you really think teams are shocked at who's in and out? Not at all...it offers no competitive advantage. It's like early in the season when the Pats technically had 1 QB in the active roster and kept calling Hoyer up. A ton of people were up in arms about it. Was a really unique move that basically saved a roster spot for a few weeks. Any other coach does it and it's an "innovative move" and teams around the league copy it.

wjag Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Some things to ponder: 1. Mills, if he plays, will have missed the entire week of practice and game prep 2. Dugger, if he plays, will have missed multiple days of practice and may be wearing some protection for his hand (not great for tackling) 3. Wynn, if he plays, will have missed multiple days of practice. If he doesn't, the RT may have to move to the left tackle 4. Mac Jones will be playing in his first frost bowl and playoff game 5. No wind favors the passing game, regardless of the temps 6. E Sanders may have some rust as he hasn't played in a few weeks 7. Footing will be responsible for interceptions this game. WRs falling down or slipping for both teams will likely create turn overs. 8. The Evil Emperor has not won a playoff game since Vinny Testaverde and where Tom Brady was not his QB 9.

zow2 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Belichek loves Allen. He gave him big hugs after this seasons games and late last year. You can tell he would love to have him as his QB. Bill B may have some answers to rough up our WR's (like he did in SuperBowl 25!)...but he can't stop Allen's unscripted runs and improvisation.

MJS Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Nate Burleson picked the Bills to lose and predicted that Mac Jones would throw for more yards than Josh Allen (these were "bold" predictions, btw). Burleson is a closet Bills hater and always has been. Not sure why. "Mac Jones threw for a total of 164 yards in his two games vs. Buffalo during the regular season. He digs deep in his bag of tricks in Saturday night's wild-card game and leads the Patriots to an upset victory by throwing for more yards than Josh Allen." https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-super-wild-card-weekend-bold-predictions-mac-jones-outduels-josh-allen-benga Also, Greg Rosenthal from NFL.com picked the Patriots to win.
