On paper, and on Xbox, no these aren't the lines any of us would draw up.

However, there's still 10 days before the season starts, and it's all about chemistry, finding the right fit(z).

Chemistry is huge in hockey.

#Sabres running some line drills look thusly:
Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart
Vesey-Mittelstadt-Rodrigues
Skinner-Johansson-Okposo
Girgensons-Sobotka-Thompson
Asplund-Lazar-Elie

Cozens rotating in

Dahlin-Nelson
Scandella-Miller
Gilmour-Borgen with Jokiharju rotating in


This is sad news and Botts is pushing for Thompson way to much.

Cozens rotating in means that he’s going back to juniors soon

Should have sent Sobotka back to juniors already

This is correct. Cannot flex until week 5
- Powerslave

I know it's early, but the more I look at that schedule, I don't think any of the games get flexed.

Week 8 vs. Philly, NBC already has GB at KC. Both teams are unbeaten currently, and are marquee draws, not happening.

Week 10 at Cleveland, NBC has MIN at DAL, plus the CBS schedule is pretty weak, so it may be able to protect that game. FOX has LAR at PIT and ATL at NO, and can only protect one of those games.

Week 14 vs. Baltimore, NBC has SEA at LAR, which it probably won't move unless Seattle or the Rams fall off a cliff, but CBS has KC at NE (protected, definitely) Fox has SF at NO, most likely protected.

Week 15 at Pittsburgh, NBC has MIN at LAC (definitely flexible), and CBS's schedule is garbage, but FOX has CHI @ GB, LAR @ DAL, and potentially ATL @ SF. Not happening.

Okposo would dominate there with his huge bigness

I think from a coaching perspective, its difficult to split up john jack and sam.

Looks good on paper having sam help on the 2nd line, but they have pretty good chemistry.

Could be all the tadem bike riding together

let's see

new england beat miami, the worst team in the league
the jets with their third string qb
and a crappy steelers team


giants are better then miami
bengals better then steelers
jets week 1 was better then jets week 3

and in reality, who cares

the winner sunday will be first in the afc east
- homiedclown

Point was that we are barely beating these crappy teams, while the Pats are blowing them out

The Bills’ start has been awesome
But i don’t think we are legit challengers YET to the Patriots

we could blow the pats out

anything can happen, look what happened 2 years ago vs the pats

Of course “anything can happen”

It’ll help if Edelman can’t play
Any news on Gordon’s back?

It would be amazing if we won
All I’m saying is that some ppl may be a bit ahead of themselves here

We are barely beating BAD teams,
so that makes me think we aren’t ready yet to truly compete with the top teams

Has Botts brought any “tough” players since he’s been here?

Seems like he’s not really considering that aspect

- homiedclown

I was told toughness is easy to find...which I'm sure that Johnny Scott would come back for eure.
But finding a talented player with truculence soon needs to be a high priority...ala the Tkachuk boys.

Pekar to an extent. Signed Borgen. Just a few of the top of the head.

I think the giants beat the dolphins 9 out of 10 times right now and the bengals beat the steelers 7 out of 10 times


we are 3-0, I see no reason to worry about how we won, we played 2 games on the road and won them both
bad coaching in the 3rd quarter and came back to win at home

if we drop sunday's game by 17 points or more, yeah reason for concern but today, enjoy the moment

The way I look at it, the Bills are playing with house money at this point. If they somehow pull out a win, great obviously, but a 17 point loss wouldn't concern me or change my opinion that this is a 9+ win team
