guess you have no faith in the bills

I see this as a 1 or 2 year window for the jets now, vs a much longer window if they had hit on a qb

and I see rodgers as a much worse qb now vs a few years ago, like history shows with any qb approaching 40


maybe you need to watch montana's last game vs the bills as a chief

or the last year of favre, brees, p manning, rivers, big ben, marino, matt ryan, etc, etc, etc

Yeah, like I said, the jets got better within the division.

You are making excuses and pretending it's fine and dandy.

Who cares about 3 football years from now, wilson could still be that guy.

What are you talking about.

Loved jack, now dislike him
Loved risto , still like him
Hated sam, still hate him and he's validating my opinion every game. Complete kasper act. 3 of 4 games.
Liked olo, still like olo. But like other players better now.


You've been bashing olo for years, 28 goals proves my point not yours btw

- Boss34


Boss,
I would say riding the pine when the team was fighting to make the post season speaks to his worth to this team. I guess I won that one as well.
They needed someone who knows how to play the 200' game on the right side of the puck. He was never that, hence why I railed on him for years...the Coup de Gra was the runaway winner of the Sabres Green Jacket.

BTW, with:
-Risto you came around at the last minute to trade him after steadfastly supporting his awful game
-Jack you loved, until they said they were trading him...then Jack was an asshat (clue, he always was)
Sam you always hated, but then towards the end of the year you posted about him be a decent player.
Now OLo...you turned on him about 3 - 4 weeks ago.

Good thing, you get there...late , really late but eventually see what everyone else sees.
It is what it is.

I'm not saying #12 is gonna goon up the place, just be much more difficult to play against then olofsson.

Minimum, just make sure you can handle yourself and at 6 5' he can definitely play individually tough. Not need protection hopefully. Especially in the playoffs.

I'm not 100% sold on #12, but he should pace 15 goals under donnie's system and fist pounding.

- Boss34

I don't want him to goon it up either, but don't turn away when the time comes. Kinda what I meant about bringing a physical edge, tough on the boards and behind the net. Don't turn away from a hit, throw it and don't turn away from a puck because your afraid of getting hit.

4 goals in 17 games as a sabre last year for #12.

That more then Paces 15 next season

I really feel like he's olofsson's replacement, not a 4th liner.

Donnie loves #12. Of course you wont bet me....

15 goals injury or no injury 🤝
Nhl Sabres or otherwise...

- Boss34


Right.
6 goals in 80 games '22-'23 season.

If buffalo uses the pick i could see them picking wood and replacing Greenway in 2 years if it doesn't workout.

Sorry about tucker, that's gotta really hurt. Dont take it out on me.

I turned on olofsson when the coaching staff I trusted also flipped on him.

If you're not playing olofsson during a playoff push this year, he is useless moving forward and has limited trade value.

Just because I do not jewish_jesus every argument into the ground , right or wrong......

Sam had a good final season in buffalo, should I just keep posting that he sucked? Guys a flop and proving his kasper act again this post season.
Donnie whispered his center friendly system into sam fat head. It worked.

Guy going into his 6th or 7th year.

You gotta agree, there is always upside with a guy his size. Speed is definitely a negative.

Our system makes everyone look good, that's what I'm betting on.

Also the coach over using #12 to validate the trade.

If we can't get one of the RHD, that'd be a good pickup for the middle of the round. I really like the idea of Pellikka still though.

He does make up for that pretty well though. Goes along with our "needs to be a shooter" mentality as well.

Reinbacher and Pellikka are both worthy. Pellikka really turned up his physical game this year to.

Haven't gotten to watch Reinbacher at all honestly, but agree based on projections. We really need to strengthen that right side quickly.

But I can think of another Swede I would like to pair with Axel.

What Center does Greenway fit with, can he find a rhythm with Mitts, is Mitts 3C or is Krebs. Is
Greenway Mitts Savoie a line, does he fit with Mitts. Who's the shooter on that line.
Greenway Krebs Savoie it's basically the same as above but Krebs is not the shooter for sure on that line.

it's the jets


if you are scared of them with a 40 year old rodgers, then we are not a super bowl caliber team


I am not scared

it's not making excuses it's having confidence in the team I have seen since we drafted allen

You're acting like I'm affriad and not a fan.

I'm a football fan and Rodgers is a top 10 alltime qb.

4 time mvp

Our division opponents traded for him

They already have what appears to be good skilled players on offense, a really good talented defense and a good up and coming coach.

Jets were a qb away from making me nervous, now they have that qb.

No longer an easy sweep .....


But you think so, good for you superfan ....

I think there's a middle ground here. The Jets have a very talented roster, and Rodgers, AARP member or not, is miles better than what they had last year. However, the Bills have some serious problems if they can't finish ahead of them. I'm not entirely certain the Dolphins don't regress either.
