Yeah, all 15-20 minutes a day, or on game days when I'm actually watching the game. Wow, all-day, every day. This is the first time I even looked at the site and it's 8pm. Get a grip, dude.

I'm not the one that reads days worth of pages at a time. Jesus Christ you're a moron. And being a good Christian means you're not supposed to be an insufferable pr¡ck to everyone. Something something, judge not, turn the other cheek, etc... Unless of course it's just because you failed at life and are "born again" so your wife didn't leave you after your drinking and whoring around and massive anger problem that you need to come here and poop on every single person. When was the last time you posted something positive and/or wasn't a direct insult at someone? But hey, I'm just a good for nothing heathen, what do I know?

(frank) off, Hard Hat.

Sincerely yours,


"Waldo" whatever the (frank) that means.

You keep saying:

"Dont u think Botterill would make a move if he had a good deal??????"

Well, there's a free idea

- jcragcrumple


And that is much different than,
“...it would be impossible for Botterill to improve the forwards at this point”

So Friday's game is at 2:00 PM and Saturday's is 1:00 PM. It will be a lighter college football day on Saturday for some.

After seeing the team it is obvious this team needs no more 3rd or 4th liner forwards, or 3rd round picks for tweeners they have to go full bore for another top 6. I would hate to see this team if they didn't land Marcus Johansson

Think it's fair to focus on 2 QB's when making that judgement?
- Lunaion

When its the only two they made moves on, yes.

7 other teams passed on Mahomes, too.

Other teams mistakes do not justify your own. And if I remember correctly, 3 teams already had QBs that passed on him.

Sure

For example:
Botts could overpay in a trade to get someone
That’s “possible” AND ALSO not a “good trade”

The point is that there are free options, and we have no idea what trade options are available to him.

The forwards are lacking, and it's his job to address that

Terry did and he was pissed we traded the pick

He picked Josh Allen next

- gerbe75pts


Okay instead of making up history let me tell you the truth. In mahomes draft year, the Bills has just hired McDermott and Whaley was still the gm, albeit was to be fired after the draft. Beane was still assistant gm for Carolina. There was no way Whaley was going to be allowed to draft a qb. The bills liked Watson better anyway. So, Whaley traded way down in the 1st, grabbed Tre white and a 1st In the following draft.

Maybe not yet but soon. A team that has a top six UFA next year that falls out of the playoffs soon, is in rebuild mode and is someone we have an eye on signing next year. We will have some cash.

You’re coming at me like I’m the one who pooped on your Pominville idea

I did not
I said it was interesting
*even threw out my opinion on what lines could look like with him


But when u attempt to quote me incorrectly,
using works like “impossible”
when that is not something I’ve said, or meant,
then yeah... I’m gonna call you on it

Fair?

Could be Cap issues for us to squeeze that guy in until later in the year though

Teams that are currently struggling, but still have playoff hopes, may be pushed to making a move at some point

My guess is that Botts has a couple deals in mind,
but other teams haven’t been willing to pull the trigger yet
Hopefully that’ll change sooner than later,
but i guess we will see

Mostly fair.

I disagree with your characterization that if there were a move available to Botterill, he would do it.

It's impossible to know that, and we know Pominville is available. I refuse to believe he's a worse option than several players on this team. That's the bare minimum of a very available move

Well, if there's one thing Buffalo fans love to do, it's beat a dead horse.

Great move on the Sabres part. Gets to head back to his homeland as an NHL'er whether he plays or not

Again... not what I’ve been saying
I’ve been saying,
“If there was a GOOD TRADE AVAILABLE, then I’m sure Botts would make it”

What possible reason could there otherwise be?

And yes,
I’ll admit that YOUR definition of “good trade” and Botts’ definition of one may not be the same

But he’s done enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt
If u don’t want to, that’s fine

But at least stop mischaracterizing what I’m saying

If they bring up a forward as well,
i wonder if Asplund gets the nod for similar reasons

They are taking Hamburgler over Johansson though

Don't think Asplund has done enough ro warrant a recall. Hamburglar hasn't been great with Amerks
