Yet some people think he will be better with the change of system
- GERBE!!!75PTS



i mean he was already at 920 so i dont know how much better people were actually expecting.


If the D clicks they'll have the puck more often which i can only hope means less shot attempts against. The real issue is the more aggressive the D plays the more High danger chances they'll concede.

Probably face less total chances but more dangerous ones.

I'm still seeing us in top 5 we still need to add a Dynamic Winger and a defenseman maybe we'll do that next year in the draft

Just my opinion.

We still need to find a Winger for Jack he can't just pass to himself

Pass on Markov, please

Good deal on Lehner

Tacos are good

Peaty scotch on the rocks, rocks. Absinthe is also awesome.

GOT, as good as it is to a lot of folks, is not as good as Twin Peaks imo

Xanax deserves props, too

David Lynch rules

Glad to be alive

Back hair is overrated

Multiverse.....ah, never mind

Draft picks, schmaft picks



Wake me up in October when the puck drops

Buffalo Bills (4-12): New regime. New schemes. Tough schedule against the NFC South and AFC West.


That's where I have them too

Thought cap friendly mentioned him being a UFA?


edit: not capfriendly but

https://twitter.com/Sabre...status/889824834309545984


Age would make me think he's still an RFA though

- Sabresfan-365

RFA with arbitration rights

Correct. And he seems to be one of those guys that doesn't easily just jump back into "Game speed" after absences. If he was, the amount of time he misses would be less of an issue. However, it takes him weeks to settle back in. And by then, you may get a few games, possibly a week or two of strong, consistent play before he ends up with some other ailment and misses time again.
- HonkFortheGoose

You're right. That's why you notice he usually plays very well about 25 games after he returns from injury. The key would obviously be for him not to get hurt before the season starts.

Hope so. The best thing that could happen is for them to pick top-5.

Pass on Markov, please - indifferent

Good deal on Lehner - agreed

Tacos are good - agreed, but I'm very down with fajitas.

Peaty scotch on the rocks, rocks. Absinthe is also awesome. - Give me Irish whisky.

GOT, as good as it is to a lot of folks, is not as good as Twin Peaks imo - haven't watched twin peaks since the first time around in the 80s

Xanax deserves props, too - I don't pop pills anymore.

David Lynch rules - he's creepy.

Glad to be alive - most days.

Back hair is overrated - will not dignify with a comment.

Multiverse.....ah, never mind - El Paso.

Draft picks, schmaft picks - overrated

So many times through the years in all sports I scratch my head when a coach/team throws an injured player back in the lineup when it's obvious the player is hampered and not even close to 100% It often hurts the team's play and/or leads to the player lasting 10 minutes before he's on the sidelines and the team is down a man.
Unless it's the Superbowl or game 7, let a different, fully healthy professional take that player's place.

Barring injuries I see a 5th or 6th place finish for us. New coach is going to let the horses run. He knows how to handle young talent. We have very little respect by other teams and will catch a lot of them sleeping.

That or KC implodes.

My guess is both teams go 8-8 and we get back to back picks, because it's the Bills

Nope the best thing for them is to go 18-0 and win the Superbowl and have KC go 0-16.......

That would be the worst. League pundits (I know, I know) think the Bills are almost as bad as the Rams, 49ers, Jets, and Browns. I'd rather see them make the playoffs than tank, but I think being bad is a lot more likely for this team than being good.

At this point, I hope that's exactly what happens. I don't follow college at all, but if there are a couple great QBs there, I'm ready to sell on this season already.

jets and browns clearly the worst teams in the afc


pats clearly the best

I expect good things from raiders and steelers


that lumps us with miami, baltimore, tennessee, colts, jags, bengals, texans, chargers, broncos, and chiefs


of those 11 teams, counting the bills, 3 will make the playoffs and I don't see one team being much better than any of the others on paper

I see miami, chiefs and texans taking a step back


the chargers and jags taking a step forward


but anything can happen


who thought miami, the lions and the giants would make the playoffs 12 months ago?
