I feel San Jose will come out fast.

The Sabres will need to be ready for it.

usually the first game back from a west coast road trip is one I dread. Most teams coming back east end up looking flat for at least the first part of the game. But being that the travel is the same for both teams this time (since it's a home and home series), I'm hoping that kind of eliminates that element.

And paid a 2nd for it too. Sanu.. for a 2nd.

Prices are high AF right now.

I don't want the Bills to make a panic move, but an upgrade to the WR position would be nice.

Either that, or start finding a way to make Foster a threat.

I never knew that before the expansion team in 1970, the Knoxes tried to get Oakland to relocate to Buffalo.

Like it or not, John Brown is playing like a NFL #1 receiver. We have some nice compliments with Beasley and Williams. The key is, do the Bills trust Robert Foster to take over for Brown if he gets injured? Do you want a Zay Jones type, a solid intermediate option that can also stretch the field?

I have no idea if Beane actually wants to upgrade the WRs at the cost of, let's say, premium murrency. Spending a 2nd on AJ Green would be an absolute joke. The name recognition far exceeds the true value.

Now if that 2nd were to be used on a guy like Diggs, or a 3rd on maybe Mike Williams from the Chargers... that would be exciting as (frank). I wonder if he'll look into picking up a lineman or a backup linebacker.

The LA-Buffalo almost-connection has lived on for half a century.

Will you be telling the players and the fans around you that you see 0 improvement in the team?

Well, if you think about the Buffalo Braves leaving Buffalo for LA, it becomes an even weirder connection.

Have fun! Hope it's a good one for you. I'm looking to try and get to the Nov 2nd game against the Isles.

I'm still bothered that the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Buffalo Braves moved to California. And I wasn't even alive.

Neither was I.

The Buffalo News did an article about the Braves' relocation a few years ago. Of course, it was told through the eyes of the former owner, Paul Snyder, but if the Knoxes didn't have so much clout when it came to arena dates (Sabres got all the Friday nights), this would probably be a basketball town. Their TV ratings were better, and so were their radio ratings. The only difference then was that gate revenue played a bigger role than it does now.

Oughta give it a read. I'm a passive baseball fan and really not a fan of the NBA whatsoever. I'd be all in if those two teams came back. I'm sure we'll never get an MLB team, but I don't see why we couldn't support an NBA team.

Exactly

No one here thinks this team is a finished product
And I’m sure Botts doesn’t either

And not that ppl are bashing the Sabres...
why can’t some just enjoy how much better we look??
We are FINALLY taking a step forward with all this young talent we’ve been gathering

And for some reason...
there’s still MANY on here just so focused on the negative

It’s pretty ridiculous

Well, to a large degree visions of a repeat of last season are still dancing in people's head.
Spare me all the reasons why it is different this season, the fact is it is Buffalo sports with 50 years of history of the other shoe falling.

I'm not so much concerned about last year so much as it is only October. The NHL is full of good teams that play poorly and bad teams that play well in October every year. That said, banking points early is never a bad thing either.
