I think the Bills as a collective team took a nice dump ..... it just sucks we did it on national TV against the titans who practiced 1 time in 2 weeks and had 18 covid positives players and staff.

Blaming Allen’s inaccuracy on Knox is ridiculous
- jdfitz77


The ball was right to knox, hit both hands head high?? Not a perfect throw but that’s an easy catch for an NFL player. Josh wasn’t great like he’s been the first 4 games.The second int was really bad but Roberts fcked up the whole start of the game with that first int. Qb development isn’t linear, there are bumps in the road. Bad josh of 2018 and 2019 was much worse than bad josh today:

26/41 263 yards and 2 tds. That’s 63.4% completion % not the sub 50% of previous years.

Best kc on Monday and we’re 5-1 with the Jets next, so 6-1, then the patriots

Are they missing Star that much?
- ImThatGuy



Star's size helped Edmunds roam free because he eats up 2 OL

Without him Edmunds has been exposed as soon as an OL gets a body on him

And then Kroft taking those 2 penalties. TE is a hole too that will eventually need to be addressed, are D is a bigger concern right know.
- Buff36



How many pre-snap penalties were there today? 7?

Yeah, they cut to the studio during the game to report it.

Not my fault you can't take 30 seconds to look at the box score.

A pass OVER SOMEONE’S HEAD
is VERY high... NOT “a little”

3 feet off target is a HUGE miss

And Allen was throwing passes behind WRs all night
He had a bad game

- jdfitz77

Well I don't know what you were watching but that was not very high or 3 feet of target, it was a very catchable ball, I'm old and I could have caught it.

I am guessing the flames still want one of our defensemen?
- Sabretooth9


Possibly.

Someone mentioned it in here several pages back and now I just saw it on Twitter.

It’s on a forum called Sabresspace.

Apparently the same poster has called some things in the past including the Botts firing.

Said top 6 forward and a goalie would be coming back from Calgary

The only goalie that could be coming back is Rittich.

Please, no.

Yeah he isn't a starting goalie, he is more like another Ullmark at best.

I do think it is a good idea to have a 1A, 1B type goalie this year assuming there will be a lot of 2 games in 3 nights being played, however I would like a better one than Rittich

Wonder who the top 6 F would be, though.

And for what?

Except it wasn't remotely correct.


Good one. God, you're almost as bad as Fitz is, and that's saying quite a bit, because he's quite bad. I feel like you both project way too much.

Fitz is like the Hockeybuzz hall monitor

He will totally “call you out” or report you to actual authority if you mess up.

The only one that comes to mind is Monahan but that doesn't make much sense right now...

Johnny hockey? Doubtful

But if he goes that means Sam is going the other way

I mean I really have no idea, I don't see a top 6 forward trade coming personally

Move a RHD or two and MAYBE a goalie.

If they make another huge splash for a forward then I would be just as shocked as Hall coming here

Wonder what Jack would think about a Rhino for John H. Ockey swap.

Elias Lindholm for Reinhart seems like the core of a trade

Rittich (sp) and Miller or Montour as other pieces

I'd hope they'd do better than Rittich.

Always liked Lindholm, though.
