    I think JA could of put up 31 tonight. The Bills need a franchise pass rusher urgently. 

    but our no rush d line would a let them score the same amt..thats the problem.

    Bills vs LA or CIN  woulda been a 50/50 proposition

    As much as I love the guy and that team he could take shifts or nights off and did quit on plays from time to time if things got tough. If he'd had the drive and tenacity of say Rick Dudley, or even the work ethic of Craig Ramsey, well, I think we'd have won a couple cups. I certainly don't "blame" him, we'd have never got there without him, but it could have been so much more.

    That's a very good point. That whole top 5 man unit, plus the goalie were an amazing top combination of skill and discipline. Imagine what those guys would do in the silly 3 on 3 OT we have now.

    Thinking about it, my vote still goes to Trottier Gilles Bossy. The perfect combination, able to play both ends of the ice, and the perfect blend in that era. Flawless. 

    Bossy bad back cut that short. But yeah they had to be mentioned. Just about a perfect line.

    This accusation was first laid on Perreault and Dionne by Ken Dryden because they did not stay in Moscow for the Summit Series after being benched for game 6.  Looking back, I wish they had stayed.  But at the time, I wanted him in the Sabres' training camp.

    Personally, I think it's bunk.  The Sabres suffered a lot because of how officiating deteriorated in the 1970's.  They also were not as deep as the other top teams.  (Like it or not, Dave Schultz was better at NHL-level basics than Morris Titanic.)  Lastly, the Sabres had decidedly inferior goaltending compared to the rest of the "Big 5" (Montreal, Boston, Philadelphia, New York Islanders).  But people look back and blame Perreault et al.

    Perreault had a lot of faults (e.g., I wish he hadn't been so defencively clueless when he came into the league, whence he might have become a more complete player), but he did everything he could to help the Sabres win.

    Im not saying anything about Perrault that you are inferring.Not sure how you got that from my post. perrault just didnt have the hyper drive that Gretzky and Howe and  Lemieux had. Thats not bunk that is just fact. Doesnt mean he wasnt spectacular  and that he didnt work very hard.   A small group of athletes had a blinding all consuming freakish work ethic that trumped everything in their life...Michael Jordan..Koby Bryant..There are just a handful of players like that ever.  Perrault wasnt one of them.

    Realizing it goes against the grain, but really want them to draft a big run stuffing DT that takes up 2 blockers on most plays.  That will make Oliver even more of a beast than he was last year and help keep Rousseau from getting doubled too.

    A true MLB that could let Edmunds slide outside where he belongs & a C / G would also be nice gets.

    But expecting they go CB in the 1st most likely.

    Kind of nice that they don't have huge, glaring, gaping holes; but they could definitely get better in places.  And yeah, a 2nd TE would be nice, but expect that's just ahead of WR, LS, PK, & #1 QB on the need list.

    yep... our d line is too damn small. thats obvious.  a fat young DT or 2 is what we need.

    give edmunds a shot at olb this year. if he fails cut him.

    do not dump any of our WRs. beasely especially.  he is uncoverable on short routes and frees  up diggs and gabriel downfield.

    Mckenzie---valuable little speedster. and can catch in the clutch.Just make sure he doesnt return kicks or punts. Gives me McKelvin nightmares.

    Draft a big RB in the 3rd or 4th or 5th.

    I just saw a graphic on Facebook of Tom Brady’s win-loss record against every team in the league.  The only team he has a losing record against is NO at 4-5.  His record against Buffalo is 33-3.

    Holy ***** am I glad he’s out of our hair.

    The Bills do have a horrific franchise. They went to sleep for 20 yrs..Good God y'all  .Im surprised we won those 3 games.

    PS..There were 2 QBs that you could have absolute confidence would not screw up.  Brady and Montana.

    Ha!  Not to me, but I can see how others perceive him that way.  He's definitely grown up since his early days of calling Jim Everett "Chris," though.

    Not just him, but also his callers.  The smackoff in June is one of my favorite days of the year.

    the smackoff..when its good..is very high quality comedy. I feel like Rome acts like a 22 yr old a lot of the time(that is his demo).But there is no denying that he is a good comedian.

    I think that the balance of power wasn't so much physical as it was, "This video coach is really important to the team. We're on a

    Stanley Cup run.  We can't upset the apple cart."   Hierarchical.

     

    The complaints should have been handled better by Chicago.

     

    But, why don't these news reports ever give details?  A defendant has a right to face his accuser and a right to know what the charges are.

    Like someone intimated above, I'm surprised that the hockey players just didn't deck the guy if he was trying to force himself on them.

    Or was it more like a date rape kind of thing or even just a "pass" that went awry?  If a football player can come out as gay, we'd be

    kidding ourselves to think that there are no gay hockey players.

     

    Now the Michigan conviction seems to carry some weight and indicate a pattern of behaviour.   But the Michigan case was different in

    that the he was the coach in a position of physical and hierarchical power over someone who is legally presumed to be a minor (what

    is the age of consent in MI?).    Law enforcement is all over anything that smacks of minors. 

     

    Maybe there is a presumption that adult hockey players can take care of themselves.   But what stopped the players from coming forward?

    Really.   A certain Bill has enough conviction to risk ending his career over a personal medical choice.  Why can't adult hockey players go to

    the police themselves if they really feel that wronged?  That's my problem with this situation.  Don't accuse someone years later while allowing

    bad apples to continue their abuse while you make up your mind that maybe you should report it.

    Solid take.Good questions.

    It has to be said:  like TB in the SB last year, Cinci's D is handling KC's offense much better than the Bills' D did.

    so true. Cincy has a superior defense to ours.They would have had a 50/50 shot to beat us in Buff.

    I think there is a good chance we lose Beasley, McKenzie and Sanders, no?

    depth at WR critical--it is our strength along with JA. Beasely is uncoverable on those quick routes. He keeps the D honest .

    You start depleting the WRs then this team could start going downhill fast.
