Eleven

2 1 3. Taylor has the best receivers in the league and girl-beater Mixon. He is not great.

What do they need to free up Knox for? To make gelatin? Because he's pretty useless as a blocker and not much better with his catching unless he just happens to be in an end zone. He certainly doesn't help the team get NEAR said end zone.

He still won't be here in two years, and, in my mind, after this coming summer. They have a LOT of salaries to pay.

The entire pregame, and most of the first two minutes, CBS personnel were publicly wondering why Leslie Frazier doesn't get a shot at HC jobs. He quickly showed (AGAIN) why. A zone defense against a girl-beater like Joe Mixon DOES. NOT. WORK. It took him more than a quarter to figure that out, and even then, he would go back to his stupid 4-2-5 zone many times. I hope he is hired as a head coach somewhere. Just get him away from here. Ken Dorsey wasn't much better, but at least he's a rookie. Why are the Bills doing run-run-pass-punt when Josh freaking Allen is the quarterback?! In what world is that a good strategy even starting at 0-0, much less down 14? The Bills are missing a key pass rusher in Von Miller. The Bengals were missing THREE OL starters and a fourth (the freaking center, of all people) was injured early. Sacks? Getting to the RB behind the line? NOTHING. I want Frazier gone. This team is too talented to be wasted on bad coaches.

We have threads about how much it's going to cost to satisfy Dahlin, Cozens, etc. and Okposo is going to be a casualty of that. Sorry to say.

They don't have the cap room for Okposo next year unless he takes league minimum, and maybe not even then. They also need to turn over the C to someone younger.

I said "Briere!" when he pulled it, but it easily could have been Perreault or--don't hate me--Roy.

I still see him as a PP specialist; maybe I need to open up more to him.

A wonderful win. Two doubles for guys that need to break out. The team covered for mistakes by nos. 1 (yes he made them) and 10 (yes he did, too). And again they were as physical as their opponents, or moreso.

Ducks, not manatees. Geez.

Can confirm it is.

@dudacek @rickshaw care to weigh in on the Boudreau situation? What's the thought of the person-on-the-street in Vancouver?

Yeah, that's why my fourth word was "might."

Yes, but Adams might have to find a way to keep him in Buffalo for a little while to burn an ELC year as a pot-sweetener.

It took me a while...it's the duck, isn't it? I think we'd be happy with either. And wow, he DOES look like Spicoli!

So did McDavid's at the lottery.

When it's time. I don't think there's a refusal to report right now, just a mutual "let's hold off for the weekend."

Termination needs to make sense for both, and termination might not make sense for the player.

Isn't Cassidy somewhat well-known for using the media to "motivate" his players? Or trying to?

Now I know that @Thorny not only thinks I was trying to mute him (wasn't) but also that he likes cats. Just weird, man. The only good cats in history are Aslan and @LGR4GM

Did you see the look on Sorokin's face after Cozens scored? That's the look of a man who gave absolutely everything he had to win, and still lost. Pure disbelief. He was great. And the Sabres still won. The Sabres were terrific, Sorokin was *almost* better. There is no "do better" tonight, my man. Cats suck.

I won't.

Correct. Not funny but correct. Also correct. I'm very happy that everyone did well on their quizzes tonight.

He's already named after him...it's ok.
