Butler can be let go, and we have to remember Star is coming back.

There’s no chance Hughes goes.

They value special teams so Matekevich stays

Addison maybe but I doubt it

Morse would not surprise me, neither would Jefferson and Brown

Any coincidence?
John Brown magnificent
Gabe davis 4th round rookie 6 tds
Beasley having his best year ever
Diggs pitting up the best season ever as a Buffalo Bill

Could it be JA17 and 3 weeks ago he finally figured out how to read a defense? 😀

Its Josh and daboll and beane too. Mostly Josh

1st bold - Running game? (JK'g)

2nd bold - before you take this quote as fact by repeating many, many times...that isn't what he said. He stated that Josh had figured out how to read and play against Zone Defenses and that he was now able to play against both zone and Man-to-Man defenses equally well. That statement is shared by more than a few respected Analysts.
That's it.
The difference in tearing apart M-t-M early in the season, and then doing the same later in the season against the Z. Most would agree with him...I certainly do.

Lastly, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

For today:

Homemade pierogis (cheese)


Still gotta frost cutout cookies and watch Christmas Vacation after lunch.

Sabres are a huge wild card.

It all comes down to Ullmark taking the next step for me.

If Ullmark can be solid and consistent and the PK figures it out the sky is the limit.

Hall and Eichel together could be magic and be the best duo in the entire league.

Staal giving us average 2C performance brings Skinner back to life.

Dahlin is going to explode this year as long as Kreuger allows him to do what he’s capable of and doesn’t hold him back.

You will be happy then.
This is where I am at for this season only.

Starting '21-'22 season, they best be challenging for the Division Championship.

Off-topic discussion of the day :

Why do some MF-er's not cover their nose with their mask ? What the F is that ??? Not covering your nose is totally defeating the purpose of the mask. Then there's the morons that just wear the mask on their chins. Ugh ...

Those signs you see at businesses...the ones that say "Masks must be worn at all times in this building" SHOULD say "Masks must be worn covering your mouth and nose at all times in this building".

Go Sabres.

Carry on.

- kritter65

The nose thing isn't a big deal to me. Most particles enter through your mouth, your nose has hair and mucous to trap particles if they enter, and it's a much smaller passage for any pathogens to enter. The mouth is the most important part because even talking, smpit particles are ejected into the air, let alone sneezing and coffing.

The chin-diaper dudes are the worst.

He pretty much learned that in week 1 this season and there were still a lot of "I need to see more" posts here. You saw more the next week. Then again and again and again. A couple of bad games, hell, even Mahomes and Rodgers had some stinkers this year.

But some people still need to see more and would rather have Saquon Barkley.

I %1000skinner understand his fallback. Yes, allen has progressed. Allen wasnt terrible at reading the defense prior, maybe not as good as now.

He bagged on allen for the past 2 years, as many of the few respected analysts. They also need to back track on negative remarks towards josh. Cover their tracks. You cried big Tampa tears when we picked josh. Baker post after baker post.

He was playing great football right under your nose (which was probably under the couch anticipating a field goal attempt) as well as other stubborn poster's noses'.

To pretend that allen wasnt good, because he couldn't read a defense is a joke. He was playing great and the typical know it alls : couldn't admit it. Until he smashed their opinions, beyond any stupid argument.

Not sure who put you in charge , but whatever.

Merry Christmas

Hope you put that gigantic brain on the line and play fantasy hockey with the rest of us.

Truly hope you have a great holiday uncle ion

People have forgotten how good John Brown is. He was magnificent in that Seattle game. We have a Ferrari of an offense and I would hate to see them cut ties with Brown. Cut Matekavich or someone else
- jcragcrumple


It would be for Cap reasons, not bc he’s a bad player
9.7mil for Brown
3.5mil for Matakevich

Cap is going down,
so tough choices will have to be made
