I would be fine with Hayden, Malone or Girgs out of his element than Eakin. He should be option 9 by my count and therefore in the AHL or press box minimally.
- QuinnFan


I get the hate, but he was better than those guys. No question, there were better options on waivers.

Already did, had mckissic incase Gibson went down but looks like his shins are alright so I dropped mckissic for booker.

Tis another reason Im skeptical on toney cause I already have Booker playing.

As well as Murray/Kirk

and Taylor/Pittman.

So many doubles

This Week doesn't look good for me

- DirtyDan


Booker will get a lot of touches,
but not likely to be very efficient
I think he had around 2.5yds/carry last week

With a backup QB & some hurt WRs, he’s not likely to get much breathing room either

Well, tell Terry I'm ready for this diabolical, decade long, master plan to take shape. I'm ready for the powerhouse team that he promised me.

he was playing over 19 minutes a game whern he was cozens age

and what year was he under 14 minutes a game?

- homiedclown


Just bc other players were “ready” doesn’t mean Cozens is
We are gonna suck this year no matter how many minutes Cozens gets
Bringing him along slowly isn’t a big deal at all

I think we have expect one of the others and if we do get Wright then WOOO.

Arizona is going to be tough competition. And the lottery is a obstacle in itself

- DirtyDan


True
Just trying to be a bit hopeful

There’s other great forward talent in the top5 this season & next season as well

Yeah I know but Willams out of KC was picked up leaving no decent RB's left other than him and Latavius Murray.

Him and Toney are the only real options there right now unless Shep returns this week

Securing the #32 spot is going to be tough.

Buff, Arizona, Detroit, even Seattle I can see in the mix

Most yards after catch the last 2 weeks (141 I believe)


If the giants could get an O-line

Toney wouldn't have gotten the looks if their wideouts didn't get so banged up.

But Toney himself almost had a year ending injury last week.

I wonder why my teams can never stay healthy. Im fookin cursed mate

It'll be interesting to see who gets "welcome back" videos this year. The Sabres screw that up sometimes. Plenty of fun to look forward to still

If any of you are in the NYC area and go to a sabres devil's game, they have updated the entry rules

To enter you have to show proof of full vaccination or wear a mask at all times if you are 12+ unless you are actively eating or drinking

There are going to be (frank)tards who will be like hurrr durrrr after I enter I take my mask off

Bills tried to do that, couldn't enforce it, then went straight to vaccine mandate.

Good luck.

Another excellent blog baller.

Any idea if a 3rd alternate captain will be chosen?
Possibly a defenseman?

Miller or dahlin?

If not, which it's looking that way....

Did the Sabres learn from gifting eichel the "C" without really earning it? Baby gloves with dahlin?


Also , I'll see you at the game tomorrow. Rolling with the josh Allen Jersey. Probably easy to stop one another...

Am I the only one excited about the season other than 🌮 and slave?

I think this is more to cover themselves legally

No we had a policy in place but individuals circumvented it and we did not see that happening, we had steps in place to control it

It should be fully vaxxed and/or proof of negative test
