That is something I never understood.

I guess I have beat that drum to death. Hopefully you know that I don't really believe in such an over simplification. I do, however, strongly believe in circumstances and luck. Obviously there is a lot more to it and there is a lot to be said for being able to maximize your return when those circumstances and fate come calling. Like JJ said, very few coaches and general managers have been able to duplicate their success at a second or third career stop. Did they become less able, or did circumstance and fate not smile on them again?

Reinhart will not be in the AHL next year. He will be in Buffalo.
-
Not dismissing a Shanahan/ Cutler combo but his four years at Washington 6 -10, 5-11, 10-6 and 3-13. Not exactly playoff contention year after year
-
If you are talking about a span of years like that, I can't see it being unprecedented. Every franchise has gone through their dark days. Granted, on the average the Bills are behind the curve but they are headed in the right direction again. Let's hope TP swings for the fences though and brings in someone with successful head coaching experience. Now is not the time to take a step back with some assistant going through on the job training.
-
Easy. I didn't respond because you are a kid on a message board. I responded because you are wrong.
-
What exactly has Reich done to deserve a shot so soon? The Chargers imploded at the end of the year and he has one year under his belt. Now that Marrone is gone, you got to shoot higher then that And, Schwartz? Hasn't Detroit proven he was in over his head? Hamilton? Is he bringing Luck with him?
-
Because history has proven it really doesn't matter. Luck into a quarterback and you become a genius. I know it's hard for those who want it to be about so much more, but it really isn't.

By trading for Roy instead of picking him up they now can trade him at deadline without first having to expose him to waivers. That, and Nashville retaining salary were the reasons for the way the transaction was handled.
-
I wasn't advocating acquiring him. I'm with LG on this one. I was just pointing out the contract situation
-
O'Reilly has another year on his contract
-
Yep. And that play against the Browns, stripping the ball, recovering it and returning it for a TD was special as well. The question is one of value and how much you want to spend on one position and what position is easiest to replace.
-
I would agree. The question with Hughes is how much he benefits from the other 3 lineman.
-
And it won't matter if they stumble upon a quarterback. New England can't draft to save their lives. Their assistants routinely fail when they get positions with other organizations. The common denominator for the ones that don't? They find a quarterback.
-
You can keep saying it but it still won't be true. While most "experts" or at least those who pose as experts agreed he was a reach, there were those that liked the pick. It definitely wasn't everyone.
-
Play calling isn't done in a vacuum. It's a function of situation and available personnel. He may very well suck but there is absolutely no way to evaluate him given what he had to work with.
-
For the 10,000 time, how can anyone know what kind of OC he is until he has something to work with?
-
Yes. They changed it to 30 minutes this CBA. There was at least one instance(NJ) were a team played a goalie just a few minutes so as to stop them from becoming a FA

Sabres trade Luke Adam to Columbus for Jerry D'Amigo

Oh......., that's a fence? -
Conservatism, creativity, decision making. It's all so over rated and overblown. You get quality personnel and you can run four plays over and over again, say like the K gun offense. Your quarterbavknis terrified and your defense is great. If anything, they should be even more conservative. By the way Tank, every time I see you mention the Bills D, I think of your " they will be historically bad" comment. Sorry.

Kane's essentially a 25-50-75 guy with a penchant for scoring big goals. I will be disappointed if Samson doesn't come close to those numbers.
-
I'm actually kinda of hoping that Zemgus is our Toews and Samson our Kane, albeit a different type of Kane. I would love Hall and eventually know there will be a need for a sniper , maybe Evander speaking of another Kane
-
I still don't understand how everyone can agree that the Quarterback and both guards are amongst the worst in the league, one OT is having a sub par year and the other OT is a 7th round draft choice just learning his trade yet somehow we blame the OC for offensive futility. What exactly is he supposed to do ?
-
I have to say I agree with your point but not your choice of words. Risto and Nikita could be their Keith and Seabrook and should be going nowhere
-
Sabres are ruining Murray's plan---what does he do??
tom webster replied to matter2003's topic in The Aud Club
If TM had only one plan then we, as Sabres' fans would all be in a world of hurt. No good executive creates a business plan without preparing for every possibilty. Building a sports team is a fluid situation as you never know exactly how things are going to unfold. Will player X develop early, late, not at all? What impact will player Y have on overall plan? As others have stated, its way too early to know how this season will play out but I am confident that TM has a plan for every scenario.
