I've officially lost faith in Daboll as a play-caller.

Hey, at least he got the ball into Singletary's hands 23 times.

That's a huge step up from the previous 2 weeks.

I have to give you credit.

Your football trolling is second to none.

Seriously, I am impressed.

This “elite” Pats defence has played a weak schedule. How hard really is it to defend Darnold/Luke Falk, Keenum, Rosen/Fitz, Daniel Jones, Baker Mayfield (who hasn’t been good all year), Josh Allen (who although has improved isn’t a top tier QB and the Bills offence as a whole is a constant struggle every week)

They shut down Big Ben and the Steelers in week 1 which was impressive but then in the last 2 weeks got completely gashed on the run by the Browns and Ravens.

If that defence is going to be compared to the greatest defences of all time I’d expect better then that.

I'm going to take the cynical approach and say that McDermott made him do that.

My biggest concern with the bills

skins had a rookie qb and everyone knew they would feed AP the ball



as least everyone but the bills coaching staff and edmunds

the snap counts flipped from the last 2 games

vs miami, gore got 65 % of the snaps

vs the eagles, singletary got 65% of the snaps


I had singletary in half of my daily lineups, looks like I am cashing in on all $150 tickets this week

I would love to see your revisionist historic self go back in time and see what you had to say in 2013 after the Seahawks surrendered 24 points and needed overtime at home against a 4-12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers team, or 34 points on the road at Indianapolis.

Like Bandit said, it's the NFL. Even the best defenses get gashed at some point in a 16 game season. Last night was the exception, not the rule.

The Sabres definitely have not maintained their early season form. It seems teams have learned how to play against them effectively and they need to change some things up. However I would like to defend their last two losses as they were against two of the hottest teams in the NHL and two teams that most power rankings have as top 5 teams right now.

They do have some work to do. The forward depth is concerning. I think we miss Scandella more than anyone is acknowledging. We need to add another dimension to our play to change things up both on the PP and 5v5 so that we can try something else when the first option isn’t working.

I don’t think the sky is falling. It’s a long season and every team faces adversity. We will see if the coaching staff is worth their salt if they can implement more strategies than we have currently shown.

This break comes at a good time as it will allow the coaches time to analyze some tape and come up with something new, and have the time to practice it both before and after the Tampa bay games.

Meh

Yeah I agree with this. I think daboll did call a pretty bad game. The jumbo package failed 4 / 5 times. It was ugly.

oh man, do we suck again?

Which team?
wait either way yes lol

I didn’t back read
Why are we arguing about how good/not good the Pats defense is?
I couldn’t care less
F the Pats

“Fake good” ...... is a better answer.

Bills beating up on bad teams is cool but beating the patriots. Cowboys and not tanking teams would be exciting.

This Browns game is going to be tough. Their backs are severely against the wall.

I found it funny because its similar between the two

Buddy in Milwaukee says I see the Sabres are plaything great so far.
I say no they lost the last 3 and 4 of the last 5. He says yeah but youre in 2nd.

SO whos wrong whos right?...... Yes i know im always wrong but this may be the 1/1,000,000 im right

Similar to the Bills, did they win? Yes..... did they look good doing it ? ... no

Well I’m talking about Jack. Love him on my team but it just looks like he’s a man on an island with this team. A man that needs some veteran help. A veteran that can actually produce.
- Pairo11

It really looks like any one of our players, whenever they are on the ice with Jack, they seem to try and force the puck to him constantly, its like theya re afraid to make plays if hes on the ice.

This Browns game is going to be tough. Their backs are severely against the wall.
- buffalofan19

Its one of those...... are they going to play for their coach so he doesnt get fired or have they given up on him so they want him fired.

Id be more worried if they let Freddie go now

It never looked like the Redskins were going to win the game at any point

But score wise they were "in the game" for awhile. I feel that good teams would be be able to put the foot on the gas and put them away early.

It wasnt a 2 score game really till the 4th
(yes it was 10-0 after 1 but the skins got the ball and kicked a fg to start the 2nd)


For me the big question is why does it always seem Daboll cant come out of the half as strong.

This Browns game is going to be tough. Their backs are severely against the wall.

Lindsey for Denver
But he’s pretty decent, probably top20 rb

We’d better figure it out quick

When I think of Lindsay/Freeman as one its pretty tough. Will Brandon Allen step up as qb

The problem with the Sabres is that the analytics started out extremely strong for the Sabres. As time has gone on, They keep drifting more and more down the chart.

And visually the Sabres d have gone back to their old ways of passing.

The bills are beating up on teams that are tanking and will struggle against anyone who is average or better.
