Or maybe the Jets and Giants are good
- joevthree


Brian Daboll is a good coach. I think that's pretty obvious by now. In a weak NFC, they could absolutely get a Wild Card spot, even if they get their poop pushed in by Philly and the Cowboys twice each.

The Jets are fool's gold.

We held our own against last year's president's trophy winner. I think this team can beat most teams in this league. However I'm gonna need that top line to figure their poop out.

What would be your gameplan playing against these Sabres?

2 games in, slapping around Owen Power

I am very excited to be here

- TheSabresTaco


Nobody is slapping him around except his coach. 19 is a bit too young to average 20:45 a night and play in all situations. Maybe at the end of the season he'll be there. He's not right now. Does he have to kill penalties and run a power play at 19? Seems like a lot to put on a teen's plate.

Zach Wilson contributed nothing to that win. Stop Breece, stop Jets.

I'm not a Bryson guy but to his credit he's performed reasonably well.

Yeah. Maybe. Or maybe they're doing it on purpose because it's a learning opportunity that he can grow from instead of stunt him.

I think between Don and Kevo, they don't deploy a player who's incapable of the role that they are placed in. They talk about it all the time.

I just go ahead and assume you exclude goaltending for the last 18 months out of this statement.

He has had a rough 2 games. So I think it’s fair slapping. I actually think he played better last year when he came in from college

(Again thag doesn’t mean he is a bust)

It's gone so well so far, in game 2 of the season Power's D partner had to be swapped mid game.

I am, but the context is very different for the goalie situation. Comrie and Anderson are competent.

Amerks look sharp eh?

You've got 4 tweener Dmen who drive offense with a fast, skilled core of prospects. Even without JJ and JQ I think they'll be a lot of fun this year.

Hot take: Jamie Erdahl is hotter than Kay Adams (GMFB).

The take is indeed hot. Not Nick Wright hot, maybe more like RG3 Dolphins-Are-The-Best-Team-In-The-League week 3 hot.

With how the Cap has gone in the NFL, if you really didn't have a strong GM or Capologist it really has shown.
