Absolutely, they respected rodgers like a 2x defending mvp.

The game flexed a team on a 3 game losing streak and inner conflict with coaches/management. With few actual nfl receivers....

Green bay was just completely outclassed.

If josh and rodgers weren't multi multi millionaires, seemed like they were playing for GB-10.5 and the under

They took their foot off the gas, and it was a little concerning. It wasn't enough to lose sleep over, not yet anyway, but scoring only 3 points in the 2nd half, at home, off a bye, and against a team struggling that much, isn't nothing. Allen had his worst half of football by a mile last night. Until proven otherwise, it probably should be looked at as the exception, not the rule, but it's still something to keep an eye on.

We'll learn a lot about the team this week. Tough schedule.

I'm over Mitts at this point. Going to have some good nights, but I don't think he's in their long terms plans anymore.

he sucks, always has, always will. I literally dislike everything about his game, he cant win a face off, gets rag dolled in the corners ( When he decides to go in the Corner) cant score.... Train wreck-

How can he do that if he sucks? Mittle-Shat can play with McJesus and look bad.

At least everyone that should be playing is playing. Just swarm teams with speed, screw the traditional 4th and just go "Balls To Walls". You want to make it fun let's make it fun. And Kulich is really starting to play well in Rochester.

That's why Mitts and VO stay in the lineup, imo.

I think it's easy to see where they are going in 2 years. Tage, Skinner, and Tuch are still here. Cozens, JJ, Quinn. Savoie, Krebs, Ostlund, Rosen, Kulich. That's 11, mostly KA guys. Traditional 4th line gone.

Mitts really isn't the problem right now!! Wow can't believe I said that. They really just need to build on there chemistry. And they need a RD

Wrong opinion.

They both play because they produce

3rd and 4th in scoring is why they play......

13 points between them in 16 games played.

Tough start to the week friend

Lol,
You must watch the games.

I'd throw mitts under the bus immediately, but he's really hustling . I think that's what we should expect out of a young veteran, with younger teammates.

Yeah, I don't think Krebs will be here IMO, can't play the style. He gets eaten up to quick. He would have been perfect in 2005-6, know the players are just as fast but bigger to.

They might come to that conclusion. He's also the key piece of KA's legacy defining trade. He won't give up on him easily.

Also seems to be a vibes guy, if you care about such things.

Krebs does look lost, thing is KA just acquired him 9 months ago, probably has warm feelings for him still?

Olo could be traded before I end this post

That's the problem with the Sabres in my opinion, gonna take to long to evaluate and say let's move on. Can't do that, they have to many wingers coming through the system for that.
Oh did you see Kulich the other night. Starting to play very well.

Olofsson is the perfect trade contract, especially if the Sabres held money. Which they just so happen to have available to them.

Just goes to show that you can be terrible 5v5, but if you get featured on the PP, you'll get points.

More or less laid out how I see it, without your dream 4th line.

Maybe GM Ventura would change some things. Need to cut the sentimental side out of their moves ASAP.

You probably said the same thing when they moved tallness to center. It makes a ton of sense, especially since it allows Tuch to play on the 2nd line.

Not a fan of sitting Hino for Asplug at all. Hino has been far superior in all aspects

In what world does Okposo who has arguably been one of this teams worst forwards this year in the first line, make sense?

Also comparing moving a 22 year old player to a different position to a 35 YO winger to a top line is truly an apples to apples comparison.
