You aren’t way off other than, it may already be too late. You’d have to be at least college age to have seen a Sabres playoff game as a baby.

The “we aren’t a destination” thing predates the Eichel injury mess. We’ve been overpaying or losing out for more than a decade. Certainly the Eichel mess hasn’t helped heal that wound at all. At the end of the day, the team has to demonstrate that they are not only serious about winning, but are capably pulling it off. And of course we can’t demonstrate the 2nd if we haven’t committed to the first.

Fair. But the “we aren’t a destination “ is coming from the team not fully committed to winning, which is a snowball started down the hill with the word “suffering “.

This is what the tank has wrought.

Pick your purgatory, lol.

And it’s damned if they do, damned if they don’t. At this point you have to be into drama to make the effort.

Noone said they want to lose the team. A few have said, including me, that given the evidence that the current owner is unable to figure out how to run a winning team, there is no risk in losing the team. Another difference with distinction. Context are hard.

Given the number of teams we currently need to leapfrog (4 plus CBus has a game in hand), and the statistics showing how very few teams not in a playoff position at thanksgiving make the playoffs, I don’t know how anyone can have optimism that this team pulls it off.

I think they are booing the results on the ice. It is a distinction with a difference. It is directed at the organization as a whole, not the players effort, not the coaches effort, not the GMs effort, not the owner. It is a response to the collective results and 14yrs of suffering.

This was the hole they could not dig. KA gonna need to pull a rabbit out of a hat now.

Josh is a living “Are you not entertained?” meme. I’ve said long ago that I emotionally divorced myself from the Bills 7 or 8 quarterbacks ago. It has made watching the absolute treat that Josh Allen is so much better. I don’t care 1 iota about coaching decisions, schemes, personnel decisions, play calling. None of it. But I make time on my calendar every non prime time game (my work schedule puts me in bed by 9pm) to watch the Bills play. Or more accurately, watch Josh Allen play. He is the most entertaining athlete I have every experienced, and its not even close. Monday I told my wife, enjoy and appreciate every moment of this. There will never be another one like him, certainly not in Buffalo. What we are witnessing is fleeting, unfortunately. Take it in and enjoy it, win or lose. You’ll never see it again.

For your entire existence here there hasn’t been any successes, so how would you know?

Awhile back I stated that the only reason Lindy signed on was as a favor/ out or respect for the fanbase. I think it is one and done as well.

Genuinely disappointed by this. I don’t know why I am disappointed. If a convicted felon can be elected President, why can’t a President pardon his convicted felon son?

Now that we are at the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, I think the battle for a playoff spot is very uphill. Only 2 teams to leapfrog, but I think they are showing that they are not better than the teams immediately around them. Not meaningfully enough to inspire confidence, anyway.

IMO this isn’t about getting the band wagon going. We all know that Thanksgiving is a benchmark. They need to keep teams behind them. Until they are in and have a small cushion, these are now must win.

The media didn’t coin the term bomb cyclone. Meteorologists did. In the 1940s. The media is just repeating what meteorologists are telling them. It’s not sensationalism, it is a description of a weather phenomenon.

Lol at the first YouTube video title I see this evening. Jordan Greenway had a “type of procedure “. You be you, Lindy. LofreakingL.

Im gonna go out on a limb and suggest that, after a long career as an NHL knuckle chucker, “continue your behavior and we are going to have a problem “ is the only way Biz knows to bring the temperature down. He’s conditioned to that working, at least occasionally 😂. This also falls under the premise of, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I seriously doubt NYR moves rostered players for prospects. They are in win now mode and will be looking for striaght up hockey trades.

I wouldn’t go that far. Our 13th forwards are still Lafferty or NAK. Are they that much of a step up from Robinson or Jost?

In a playoff spot at Thanksgiving at least makes the conversation about them in a playoff spot at seasons’ end a rational conversation. Will be interesting to see if they can sustain enough wins as the intensity ratchets upward.
