I was told you need Elite QB play to win. I’m very confused.

Some 24 year old scatter brain though said run the ball and play strong defence.

Tannehill has 150 yards passing through 5 quarters of playoff football.

Goroppolo went 11/19 for 131 with 1 TD and 1 Int today for a 74 QBR. When you have a d-line full of top 10 picks and run for 150 yards though it’s amazing what you can accomplish.

I’ll pat myself on the back and see myself out.

This team has regressed year after year including after Darcy was fired. If Pegula can't see it, we are worse off then we think.

Doesn't part of you feel like this offseason has been the goal all along.

Contracts expiring:
Bogo
Vesey
Sheary
Sobatka
Girgs
Larsson
Erod
Montour (rfa)
Sam (rfa)

We just drafted a kid defenseman last year.
Realistically, he is just too young to win now. His defense is a huge liability. Joker and pilut too. There inexperienced kids . Pilots a bit older.

If that were the case, why rush Tage last year? Mitts both last year and this year? I get it to an extent, but it’s just more than botts tenure. It’s pretty much Pegula miss-stepping every step of the way with this team....

Allen and Tannehill have many similarities. Lot of comps to each other with Allen coming out of college.

Pegula has to take som blame. No doubt.

I really think/hope the plan is long term.

If botts was worried about his job at all, he would have mortgaged the future.

I could be wrong. Optimistic approach.


I'm the fan the pegulas love. Dual season ticket holder.
10 seats for the Sabres. All worth very little the rest of the year

Do you miss having season tickets?

When they started hot, did you feel uncomfortable?

Something something, run the ball and play good defense...

Best running team ever with a top 3 defense got crushed.

The number 1, 2, 3, and 5 defenses were one and done.

You do realize that the Titans beat the Ravens on back-to-back passes, right?

Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres miss the playoffs again, and they either hire a president of hockey operations above Jason Botterill or fire their general manager outright.

They also said this...


Toronto Maple Leafs
The Leafs overcome their obvious defensive flaws with a Conn Smythe performance from Frederik Andersen and become the third team in five seasons to win the Stanley Cup after an in-season coaching change

You do realize that if they don’t have Derrick Henry in the backfield the safeties don’t crash as hard into the box and allow that Titans WR to get 10 yards behind them on that play action touchdown pass ?

You must've missed the fact that the 1, 2, 3, and 5 ranked defenses all went one and done. The number 3 defense had the best rushing offense ever, and got smoked.

The Titans scored 28 points today and their QB completed 7 passes.

The 49ers only allowed 7 first downs all day to a team that beat Drew Brees the week before. Crazy what happens when you shut down Dalvin Cook how the Vikings completely implode.

This should be very disturbing to Pegula as to how and what is going on with this team and i'm not being a smart ass or negative.
- SABRES 89

At what point is Pegula the problem? He let his wife run the Bills and she did wonders, just sayin.

“It's obviously difficult but you make do with what you have here,' Montour said. "You play 7, you play 6, you get traded, it is what it is. We're all NHL players. You can play on the left side, you can play on the right side. D partners may switch."

I might be reading it wrong but sounds like he’s not really a fan of the constant shuffling of the lineup.

- Frizzlefry

No he said he can do his job unlike 90 percent of the team

You will stay confused until you stop reading only half of what people post. No one needs you to tell them you pat yourself on the back buddy, look at my location.

You are a legit idiot.

The Titans only needed 14, which they got in 9 plays including TDs on back-to-back passes. The Ravens had 185 rushing yards.

The Ravens went INT, downs, punt, FG, FG, downs, fumble, INT, TD, downs, downs. The Ravens had 530 yards of offense and came up with just 12 points. The Titans didn't pass because they didn't need to; the game was over when they went up 14-0.

Any team can play good defense any game. the best defenses in the regular season all lost. Including the one with literally the best running game ever.

Ya wrong.

Yet they threw it 59 times, perhaps if they stuck to what won them 14 games and didn’t go away from the run early in panic mode it would have helped ? Just a thought. Ravens running backs had 9 rushing attempts tonight.

Fitz, c'mon man.
At some point, don't you think taking off the rose colored glasses is warranted. I get your "long view" attitude, and you are to be commended for it.
Yet, by now even you have to admit Jason has made his share of mistakes with the roster construction.
Nobody is saying they should be SC contenders...but not having a 2C, 2RW, 3RW for 2 seasons, then rolling into this season with 12 NHL
Dmen (yup 2 were on IR to start) and 6 LWers is nothing short of crazy.

Now he is hoping that a rookie can step into a top 6 position and be a savior on some level.

The high level of optimism just isn't warranted anymore...not until we see the proof in the pudding

- IonSabres


There’s a difference between having a “high level of optimism” and the constant whining & b!tching that goes on here day after day
And MUCH of the whining & b!tching is overreacting

Also... it’s pointless
