Just think, we're a bit past the first quarter of the season and we have 10 wins and 22 points. Last year, we had a total of 23 wins and 54 points. While the team isn't perfect, it's been a hell of a lot more fun to watch this year and we're through probably the toughest stretch in our schedule. It feels so good enjoy watching games again. I know I've said it a bunch already this year, but it's just amazing how different it is to be a fan of this team this year.

What is their replay guy upstairs doing. He should be fired. Two mistakes in one game. Unacceptable.
- Fattony1187


According to Rex they don't have a dedicated replay guy. For a team with the most coaches in the league, or second most I can't remember, that is unacceptable.

And now that Pittsburgh lost, the suffering will continue. They're going to win next week at home.

There's always going to be a few. There are some around here that would something to nitpick about even if they did win a cup. They're the type that would say "They should have won it in 6" if it took 7 games. I try not to let those people drag me down. I'm much better off to try and maintain a positive attitude.

I have no idea what a catch is. 4 steps, getting hit. Leaning forward and the ground makes you drop it. Wtf.
- Fattony1187


No, YOU do know what a catch is.
The NFL is proving it in every game played they have no, none, nadda idea of what constitutes a catch.

Yeah, he was a product of the system in NY. Kind of like running backs for the Broncos in the Shanahan era. You could put anybody back there and they'd rush for 1,000+ yards. And the oilers are horrible, so that certainly doesn't help.

Eddie lack has been stellar...........

I still would do the Lehner trade, I am hoping he comes out strong after his injury.

For a professional NFL team that is laughable. These were two glaring replays too. Instead he trusts stone hands Robert woods who knew he didn't catch it and was forced to replay a spot when hogan clearly had the first two plays earlier. At least tyrod looked really good. doesnt matter with inept coaching though.

I think it's wrong to say he's most improved. He had a whopping 9 games NHL experience before this year, so starting at 0, sure he's most improved, but I would say Ristolainen would be the most improved full time player from last year.

I didn't read any limitation to full time player improvement.

PS: there's something good in my hood.

I wasn't comparing to last season for any of the categories...just from the beginning of the season.

So, just wondering when the fire Rex billboards go up in Buffalo, lol.
What a cursed franchise. I knew they would choke hard after the loss to Pats...just because that is what we do.
