I wouldn't disagree with saying he is like Flynn who may be better.

To me, Larsson should be in the NHL, splitting time between the 3rd (mostly) and 4th line, playing wing. He is an RFA, and I am guessing they bring him back. See what he has now. By the time he gets to UFA status, you will know what you have and how the pipeline looks, and you can simply not sign him if others are ready to take his spot. You can also easily sign another impactful player at a low salary to take on a bottom 6 role if needed.

There's a problem with that logic though, and it's that he'll need to clear waivers to go to Rochester after this year. Yes, you can resign him, but he may not make it through waivers if we don't have a roster spot for him here.

Moving on from Stafford by the end of the year and (hopefully) Stewart should help make some room though.

great?
less then 1200 yards in 27 games is not great,
an over the hill greg jennings put up 1400 yards in the same time frame


he is an ok #2 wr, far from great

cobb, is a great #2 wr

Woods missed 4 games last year. He is very good for a number #2.

opinions vary

watkins is going to get over 1,000 yards this season and woods already has 587 yards


so are you saying woods is better then cobb?

- homiedclown

No, but they aren't worlds apart either as you would suggest.

Woods has had some pretty good grabs this year, and important ones too

and one of the better route runners we have had in a long time. With a very good qb the route running ability will pay great dividends.

when the rb's went down, they grabbed nobody

http://www.cbssports.com/...actions/BUF/buffalo-bills

the o line, he spent a second rd pick and a 5th rd pick and those two players have failed big time

qb play is the biggest need, and he did nothing this past offseason to address it til august 30th

I do not see it

people look back in hindsight and say peggy should have moved ruff and regier during his first off season, why should it be any different for a team that has had a 9-7 season in 2004 (third in division) and no other winning seasons since 1999

Scratched Stewart avoids Sabres' dressing room

http://sabres.buffalonews...ids-sabres-dressing-room/

Stewart avoided the Sabres' dressing room after being the last player off the ice and changed in the back. His equipment got loaded into a shopping cart and was delivered to his stall by an associate equipment manager.

I don't believe he ever even dressed for a game, but he did get signed. I get alerts from the Bills app on my phone, that's how I knew that they had picked someone up.

With Brown and Dixon already on the team, he didn't really need to do much. Especially when you consider that Freddy only ended up missing a total of 2 games anyway.

I'm expecting a text update from WR550 regarding the trade. About 90 minutes after the rest of you know from tweeted sources.

gm's job to hit the phones

browns cut ties with tate shortly after
look at practice squad players
when your starting 2 rb's go down for a long time, and you tell the fans it's playoff or bust, do something

IMO he is a very good player, and we are in good shape to have him as our number 2.
