that's real good for the team...having him hold down that spot with o'reilly and ennis means only one top-six slot to figure out

Just put girgensons on the RW on the Kane Eichel line. He is the only one that can keep up speed wise.

Moulson Larsson Gionta 3rd line...enough is enough

Does Mike Carey ever get a challenge right?

Put Ennis on with Kane/eichel and girgensons back on the first.
I kinda dont mind line juggler coaches, but when it seems random, then it looks like they have no idea what they're doing.
The 3 fastest guys on our team should be on the same line together for a few games and get a chance to gell. I know they're all supposed to be "puck hogs" but i have a feeling that would work itself out with a little time.
I only caught 1/2 the game yesterday, but noticed 2 chances where eichel passed when his best opportunity was to shoot. So, he's trying to dish.

Ennis is too much east and west for my liking to play with Eichel and Kane...just my opinion

I'm with you Stripes, slide Girgs in there
And put Moulson, Larsons and Gionta on the 3rd line. Larsons played well with Gionta at the end of the year last season, maybe they have chemistry.

I'll give credit to EJ there.
Of course it helps when you have a stud TE make a great catch with his hands.
Other than that throw, I like what I saw out of him so far.
Keep it up for 55 more minutes of play time

good start...ej needs to do what taylor didn't--get the ball into the hands of the bills playmakers

To be fair Taylor didn't have playmakers the last 2 weeks

He was definitely putting on a derek roy/afinogenov style clinic a couple games ago.
I would say thats where the coach comes in, remind him to use his linemates.
I think those 3 on a line could be lethal if they got set in to a style of "quick pass up the ice." Could create a lot of 2 on 1's

fair enough

that said...

I have harvin on my fantasy team...he netted me a -.10 points last week...minus

I think they should handicap themselves with even more penalties, please....

Idiots

Good to see the old EJ back that we all hate. Audibles out of a 2nd and 3 run to a bad pass followed by a terrible pass

Oh well, looks like I'll have no qualms about mowing my lawn at halftime and missing part of the 3rd quarter

is it me or is the officiating making things a bit difficult on the bills so far?

Meh, their own play has caused officiating to get involved - taunt, hands to the face, etc leading to a TD.

This call looks like it was very bad though, how they called that a catch was ridiculous

was talking about the intentional grounding

Pretty sure there were no receivers anywhere near that ball.

Rex Ryan is nothing but hype, that's all he is.

thought he was outside the tackle

- Michael Pachla

That was clearly intentional grounding. If there's no receiver in the vicinity, and the ball doesn't reach the line of scrimmage, it's intentional grounding regardless of whether you are outside the tackle box or not. It was the right call.
