Little consistency doesn’t hurt.

When it comes to goals, there's no such thing.

Is it a coincidence that his hot streak started when Dabol went upstairs and they started running a hurry-up-formation so he could talk in Josh's ear about what he's looking at?
- IonSabres


The RPOs have also helped out big time.

If I were an OC or DC I would want to be in the press box. It’s almost a must. You need to see the formations and see how they are lining up

Becoming more balanced on offence helps as well. They are running the ball more

Actually he's been pretty good since the bye week with 16 Td and 2 turnovers
- Buff36


Really?

The eagles game?

The red skins game where in the first half he was booed off the field?

The browns game where he sucked?

The turnout started vs the dolphins in Miami

Going no-huddle helps get to the line quickly and then he can scan the field from the box, help Allen change the play's at the line. It will be interesting to see this weekend how Baltimore handles the blitz, they blitz the most in the NFL, and Allen is ranked 5th in completion % against the blitz.

The only problem with no huddle is ...... this week you want to limit the amount of time Lamar is on the field. Take your time and eat up clock.

In general. I agree it’s worked just fine. But I don’t want Lamar on the field

Wonder if Botts is talking to Rutherford about Galchenyuk.
Sounds like he could be made available.
I haven't been a fan if his, but he normally produces 45-50sh points.
Pending UFA, I'd imagine a contract in the $5.5 - $6.0m range.

Wonder if McCabe would do it. If not throw them Girgenson or Larry

Understand, but there's fast no-huddle, and then no-huddle were you take your time at the line, but the defense still can't make personal changes

I wonder if he would have found his love for the game over the summer if they kept him?
- IonSabres


It is funny how we lament the fact that the players never give any answers of substance, and then a guy finally says what's really on his mind and everyone loses theirs.

While they get to the line quickly, they still don't usually snap the ball until there's around 10 seconds on the play clock.

I'll go to my grave thinking he engineered that whole departure.

What I find more interesting is Blowboy's comments a couple weeks ago about how terrible it was here, then couple that with Lehner's remarks from a year ago...wow. They must have one poop culture in that organization. Next, I expect Ralphie-boy to start MF'ing the club.

End of the week, got some time on my hands, if you don't like it, (frank) you.

Olofsson-Eichel-Reinhart
Skinner-Trochek-Johansson
Cozens-Asplund-Mittelstadt
Nieto-Larsson-Okposo
Thompson

Dahlin-Montour
Pilut-Miller
McCabe-Jokiharju
Borgen

Ullmark
Hutton

Cap works out to be about 8M below. I used Risto and an undisclosed pick to get Trocheck. Ratsreign, com poop on me.

- TheSabresTaco

Lol, speaking of which, how come you never bring any damn ice cream?
Having nothing to do with wanting Risto or not, FL won't trade Vinny because then they'd instantly have the Sabres' current problem of, Who the hell is gonna center line2? Borgstrom hasn't yet shown he's ready for that, he's been back in the AHL since before Halloween. Malgin hasn't really shown that he could fill that role, either. They'd be creating a big hole in their lineup.

Brett Murray might earn himself an NHL contract.

And now for something completely different...
Now, I don't really HATE hate any team in sports, but I find it extremely entertaining to watch the Cowboys lose. To not only lose, but to look kinda pathetic while doing so. The circus sideshow that is Mr Jones gets even better as their struggles deepen. Never liked him since he bought the starboys, I guess I just enjoy seeing his arrogant and smug look wiped away as he leaves his suite early, stammering to find a reason as to why his team Sucks right now.

This writer rips on Garret pretty good...lol,
He's a good all-situations clapper...

Brought him up a awhile back, progressing nicely down there, think he has 13 or 14pts, could turn into that power forward we are missing.
