Casey Mittelstadt made it clear he’s not disappointed to be in Rochester. Wants to play and knows he has to work on his game.

Good to hear
- Stripes77

He would probably never admit it publicly, but it almost sounds as if he's relieved.

Trade Bait
- SABRES 89

If he can get them a legit 2C with term left then I would be open to moving him

Asplund looks better than Casey at this point

I had to try and sleep after the game .....

I wouldn’t call it another josh Allen comeback. McDermott didn’t even trust the offense all night.

At half 2 minutes to go 3 timeouts. We run the clock out.

2nd half. We get close to the goal line and have 3 straight runs for a fg

Scored a td the next drive

Then ran it after that for little to no yards.

But sure. Call it what ever you want.
- Sabretooth9

Of course YOU wouldn't

End of 3: Pittsburgh 10, Buffalo 7
End of 4: Buffalo 17, Pittsburgh 10

Appears that this qualifies as another 4th quarter Josh Allen comeback any way you look at it

Don't get all the hype around Casey.

Bills have a mediocre offense that is driven by hard nosed players. They are going to need a lot more talent on offense to get wins in the playoffs.

Or someone other than Singletary and John Brown to play above their ability.

Up until last night, I kept wondering what the point of signing Tyler Kroft was if they weren't going to use him.

Hype comes with pretty much any Top 10 pick. It just goes with the territory.

Wait till he gets a chance to visit Binghamton. Then his tune will change.

I'm all for it, assuming we get something of value back.

Hmmmm.
From The Athletic


Interesting.
I'd do it in a heart beat. Perfect stop gap for 1-1/2 seasons.
Not sure how they would make the cap work though.
Bogo, Sheary and 2020 2nd, +?
- IonSabres

So, trash for a top 6 C

Even though it probably costs us the division (even if the Bills beat the Pats)

The loss in Cleveland really brought a spark to this team.

This D is the best I have seen in a Bills team in my life and I am 36 years old.

I would let Hughes go and keep Shaq and Philips

Edmunds is going to be the anchor of this D for the next 10 years

Milano is good and had a quietly good game

TRE WHITE TRE WHITE GOALIE ACADEMY...kid is a star, pay him pay him pay him
- Stripes77

I agree, have to pay Shaq and Phillips and draft another DE.

He's got 25 points and isn't garbage in his own end

He would be an ideal stop gap if they would eat some salary but he has a full NMC and I would doubt he would waive to come here
- Stripes77

My only problem with Getz, is that he has a mind blunder on blind drop passes that lead to odd man rushes the other way.

Outside of that, he would be huge for Jack and a strong voice in the room. The dude is an incredibly tough player and knows how to win. He would definitely drop the gloves for a cheap shot. He will make incredible plays for his winger. Put him with Skinner and watch out.

Have the Sabres done enough to convince him to waive to go to Buffalo? Doubtful.

whats the deal w/ baertschi? his point totals seem fine for his contract?

Don't get all the hype around Casey.
- SABRES 89

He’s got fancy mitts. But isn’t strong enough on the puck. Was put into a tough spot last year and it continued this year. Happy he is going to Rochester! And would not be disappointed if they use him in a trade for a 2c or rw...

So, trash for a top 6 C
- TheSabresTaco

I'd be really interested in a blockbuster type deal.

That's the only way it happens if Getzlaf approves it.

Throw Middlestadt, lottery protected 1st, and whatever other parts for Getzlaf and one of Sherwood, Terry, or Steel.

I fancy myself as one who enjoys bashing the 'WE NEEDZ (player) OFF WAIVARZ!!!111!!1" but he may legitimately be more useful than Sheary or Erod. You can't fit his contract rn but he's above waiver caliber. His defensive play is bad-town.

He's one of those players fans might regret not being patient with. He's a solid offensive force that will start to show in Rochester. No one will afford him this patience simply because he's a top 10 pick.

I would use almost anyone in the right trade, including CM, but I would never undersell him.

No.

3 way bananas

To Arizona: Taylor Hall, Zach Bogosian

To Buffalo: Christian Dvorak

To NJ: Arizona 1st, Larry Pilut, Buf 2nd (or equal prospect value)

it’s not trolling when it’s true. The defense won the game for the buffalo bills last night. Even josh Allen said post game on nbc that they sucked / struggled

We need more out of Allen to be a consistent winner. You don’t get rid of tyrod(who is the ultimate game manager) to Allen and hope Allen is a game manager too.

You need Allen to be good to great. Not average.

So saying we need more out of Allen isn’t a bad thing
- Sabretooth9

When it means most he is great. 3rd best 4th quarter rating in the NFL, hovering around 112. With Tyrod, if we were down in the 4th quarter you knew we weren't winning. With Josh, if the game is close, you know we're winning. I told my sons last night in the 3rd quarter, just keep it close and we'll dominate the 4th and win. We kept it close, dominated the 4th and won.

Josh does have huge room for improvement and I believe he will. Completion percentage has increased almost 8% this year despite Buffalo leading the league in drops. He has like 18 TDs since week 7 with 3 INTs. Not sure how much improvment you can expect from a 2nd year QB. Would you rather have a guy like Winston who throws for 400 yards with 4 TDs and 4 picks and loses. Exciting, yes, by in this for W's. 10-4 - any other questions. Great kid on and off the field, Josh is MY QB.

No.
- TheSabresTaco

fine.

KOVALCHUK....

being placed on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract

Not a RW...

they need to keep him and let Murphy go

Shaq is 10 times the player
- homiedclown

We have like $100m in cap space next yeare, we don't need to let anybody. Murphy has been MIA at times, but did you watch his game last night? He was dominant and we absolutely don't win without his sack, numerous pressures and fumble strip
