Take care Blue. I have missed you for awhile now. Take care.

He was practicing on the second power play unit the other day. I will be surprised if he goes down to Rochrster or is even sitting as the 13th forward.

Let me add a dissenting voice. I loved listening to first Ted and then Rick has a kid and young adult but Rick was awful last year. Maybe now that is health is no longer an issue he will return to form but if we are getting 2014/2015 Jeaneret, count me among the disappointed. Also, wasn't there talk of them ending the simulcast and splitting TV and radio?

Good teams win 10 or 11 games, doesn't matter when. Like I said, it will be great if they win but it's not the end of the season if they don't.

Hardly a must win. A road game against a divisional foe, it won't be easy. It will be great to win but still plenty of season left if they lose.

No, garbage time is piling up points and yards when you have no chance to win. The Bills got the ball back with plenty of time to score and conceivably tie it up. The Patriots continued to throw and twice went for it on fourth down. There is really no way of knowing if the Patriots defense lost its focus but I saw little evidence of a coaching adjustment similar to how Buffalo pulled back the reigns against the Colts. The defense was obviously ineffective most of the day against Brady but he was just in one of those zones that very few can duplicate. He makes it look so easy that it can be maddening but first deciding where to throw and then hitting those throws with such precision that his receivers can turn up field and doing it all in under 2 seconds is something they may never face again. On top of that there were at least three calls that could have turned the tide early that went against them. Not saying it cost them the game but to think the game wouldn't have been different without them is in my opinion incorrect. On a side note, I laughed out loud when the announce expressed surprise that the Patriots continued to throw and used the cliche "I'm surprised the Patriots haven't taken the air out of the football and just stopped throwing."

I'd say they have made great progress if getting completely outclassed by the defending Super Bowl Champs means losing by 8.

Never saw Terminator, never saw any of the Star Wars pics or any of the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings movies. However, for over twenty years I have been looking for the kid that was playing with his truck on the back of my seat on my way back from Jamaica.

I'm not sure if it's the game plan as much as its Brady's ability to read defenses coupled with his remarkable accuracy. He makes it look easy but it obviously isn't. One if the first quotes ever attributed to Belichek when announcing that Brady would continue to start when Bledsoe returned was how fast he processed the information before him.

Ok, I glanced over that part.

I couldn't have said it better. This is exactly how I felt after game.

Have you heard Weber talk this year? The players are thrilled where this team is at. On top of that, Eichel has gone out of his way to say and do the right things. No resentment here. It's a non issue

Fan excitement not reflected in secondary market
tom webster replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Aud Club
I sold some pre-season club seats for $60 and have agreed to sell about 4 games worth of club and 100 level preferred for over face value so I am pretty happy with where the market is right now. -
Tuna didn't win without BB but BB still hasn't won without cheating.

UPDATED: Sabres sign 2 yr Deal w/Cody Franson
tom webster replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
As I prepare to hide in my bunker, I will say that Pysyk is right now, the best passer on the team and easily the best passing defenseman. I have had conversations with people whose hockey smarts I revere who have dropped names like Teppo and yes, here it comes, Duncan Keith. Now nobody is predicting that he will even approach these players but they believe that it is his realistic ceiling. Pysyk is one of those guys whose stats will be greatly improved by the quality of players around him. A guy who looks like just another guy at the AHL level or as part of the worst team in hockey. He will be a guy that goes unnoticed for 90% of the play until he rifles a tape to tape cross ice pass that springs one of the teams many skilled forwards that can now turn those passes into scoring chances. He is a player who at the end of the year you will look at the old numbers and go wow, I didn't realize he was a plus 30 and had 30 to 40 assists. And the analytics guys, they will be calling him one of the truly underrated d-man in the league. Yes, Dudacek, I think I am his biggest fan, but then again I thought that Cody was going to be a top scoring winger and that Ennis was too small. -

You are right, I was high in Butler but I don't recall ever seeing him as a top pairing guy. I think depending on the other d-men, Pysyk is a solid 2/3 guy with a long career ahead of him.By the way, you could throw in a few examples of me correctly showing love for certain prospects. -
That is the most mis-represented piece of Belichek history ever. The Bills shredded that defense. The problem was two fold, Levy wouldn't force Kelly to keep pounding Thomas and the defense couldn't make a tackle to save their lives. If either of those things happened, cheating Bill would have been forced to explain his defensive strategy that had his defensive lineman sucking air as Thurman ran through them like a warm knife through butter.

100% agree and I think they do too
