With the way the oline struggled, daboll had too many slow developing plays called. Should have designed more quick hits. In the TD drive they had more quick passes.

Overall, too many mistakes to beat Baltimore today: 4 or 5 drops, a couple of missed long ball chances, Poyer dropping coverage on the long TD for some reason, a few missed calls by the ref.

Good thing is basically everybody we wanted to lose lost today. One win in the next 3 games and we’re in the playoffs.

New England had 3 or 4 horrendous calls
Go against them today and it was so GREAT

Still don't understand why we never use RB screens, especially with Singletary

They need to catch Florida and keep them in the rearview mirror. Tampa is going to get one of those spots. There is almost no way they don't with 3+ games in hand on everyone.

Montreal will be in that mix too.

Why couldn't the Bills call a screen pass to help offset the overly aggressive pass rush and blitz? Is the OLine too stupid to run a screen pass? How about designed rollouts instead of Allen running for his life rollouts while he was a pylon waiting to get mauled? Anyway, the D did well.

Missed your post 11, that's what I don't understand about never using a RB screen

They played a perfect road game. In addition it was the second of a back to back and the third game in four nights. And, like you said, they held the top two scorers in the league pointless. Not sure what more anyone could want.

Tooth9 wants to be right about both allen not being good and the Sabres being a bad team.

Allen could have been better
Sabres played a great brand of hockey the last few games out west. Tonight was a big win.

Next is ror vs eichel

Sabres gotta get there defense set, liked McCabe sitting, Bogo should be right next to him in the press box

For some reason the habs dont impress me?

Your probably right though.

Hoping the flyers are pretenders

Bogo, scandella and any other over priced ufa d should be moved at the tdl

I give Allen props when they are due. Today he was not good.

And I agree it was a big win. Hopefully Dahlin comes back and Ralph plays 8 d! (Sarcasm)

Eichel should have punched McDavid in the face and demanded that Reinhart and Draisaitl switch teams

Yeah. me too, they like the lateral pass to the RB a lot but not the screen but the screen sometimes slows the pass rush a bit if it's run right and a few times.

Exactly, and with Singletary it could be very dangerous, every time the kid touches the ball, you get the feeling he could break it

I've been watching Montour and I want more from and expected more from him.

Bogo shouldn't have got that second penalty that led to the Oilers 2nd goal. It was a nice stick check.

Yeah, maybe Sam will up it like he did last year. Tips are nice and count just as much as pretty goals but if he wants a 7 mil dollar contract he better pick up the pace.

Risto is the Sabres best D right now

I hope McCabe gets comfortable in the press box for a while.

he was ok tonight and barely snuck that one past smith...that said, I think he should be in the lineup and Ralphie should go 11/7 again
- Michael Pachla

We're grading how the puck goes in now? Wow. It went in, bottom line. Please explain what business Bogosian has regarding being on the ice. He looks like he's constantly stuck in 3rd gear, mainly because he has no other gears anymore.

Allen took an absolute beating today. How many would have even finished the game today?

Allen was off today, but he really didn't get much help.

I'm confounded by your seeming (unless I'm wrong) admiration for veterans like Bogosian who are adding little to nothing to the team while making a comment like Miller just snuck the puck in.

He got his ass kicked, and was still there with a chance in the end. Today's game was a good learning experience for him.

Hopefully he is alright, that ankle didn't look to good. He was a warrior

It was more of a response to a perceived (on my part) overreaction to miller scoring after being a healthy scratch. He played a good game and the puck went in.
Buffalo wins.

That's s good thing

I didn't understand having Gore in the entire series following a scoring drive where Singletary got them points on his array of running plays.
