  1. My issues with Wilson is durability and throwing ability. His arm strength is average IMO and there are questions about if he can remain healthy.

     

    The good news is he fits the Bills system and is an SEC product meaning he has played good defenses.

  2. If they Bills can trade back they need to. I don't foresee the run on quarterbacks prior to the end of the 1st or beginning of the second. Maybe Minn would be a good trade partner. See if you can drop to 22nd and get their late 2nd rounder as well.

  3. Tell me again how much you like Drew Stafford's game.

     

    Hodgson has offensive talent, as does Drew Stafford. The idea that Hodgson works harder on the ice more than any other player is a mythical fallacy that hasn't been seen on this board since early last season when posters tried to push Leino's game by talking about "how strong he is with the puck" and how "strong he is in the corners." Hodgson's game is nonexistent in the defensive zone, he has zero physical game and he is as prone to shifts of floating as his team mates.

     

    tay

     

    I think "Fanboism 101" is a better option.

     

    Two years ago I started talking about a difference in Tyler Myers game and how he appeared to be regressing. How did posters respond, I was 'silly" or a "hater." Where is Tyler Myers game today? Myers game is where I saw it heading two years ago.

     

    How many posters were of the opinion that the Sabres should trade Drew Stafford before they gave him the new contract? I know I was? I said at the time Drew Stafford will never be the that type of player again and that it was all about the contract. Two years later where is Drew Stafford's game? It's where I saw it heading.

     

    Considering my track record, I'll continue to have more faith in my opinions than the fanboi's of this board. So, "troll" on that for awhile.

    I thought Myers was just having and off year. Idk if he will ever be great because I think he mentally can't process the game fast enough. Here you seem to currently be correct.

    Stafford I argued against his contract, I thought he was overpaid and I said that his 12 goals in 4 games made him extremely streaky.

     

    All that being said, Cody Hodgson will pan out to be a solid #2 center. He will average 65-70pts a season and his defensive game will improve. He will always be better than Kassian who will be a 50-60pt guy for a couple of seasons but go on prolonged stretches of craptastic play.

  4. Kassian is back on the top line with the Sedin twins. Scored a goal in the win over the Blackhawks last night.

    and since Vancouver won, Kassian is now better than Hodgson... WHY DID WE TRADE HIM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I bet he had some hits too. Man Kassian is everything Hodgson is not. Stupid Darcy.

  5. From what my buddies are predicting they are positive the Bills will try to trade down into mid teens. They will draft Nassib in the 1st round it will be a reach but better get a decent qb prospect than continue as they have... with jokers.

  6. Zzzzz? No way!

    Danaerys was the highlight, but Varys making new friends, Jaime and Brienne, the manipulative mind of Margaery, Theon's WTF? moment and the events at Craster's (hope I did that without spoilers) - great episode I thought.

    maybe it was because I was fully expecting Danaerys so I was just eager to get to that... I will need to rewatch because I think you make some Valid points. Also I laughed at Theon a little, hes such a d-bag.

  7. Went over to a friend who has HBO Go and watched me some Game of Thrones last night... this is how last nights episode went...

     

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... DRACARYS!!!!!!

     

    Gotta love Daenerys Stormborn.... she's awesome.

  8. If you're ugly or she's ugly, buy two bottles. SImilar, but not the same, wine.

     

    Also, pick up a nice dessert that you think she'd like. Maybe stawberries (sliced or wedged), whipped cream, and dark chocolate (grated) on pound cake; make it for her after dinner.

     

    Set the table with cheap seasonal flowers from the grocery store (optional), and for god's sake, buy a nice smelling candle to burn that smell out of your room (not optional).

    Its the smell of loneliness and shame :cry:

     

     

    :lol: good ideas though

  9. Proposal 1: No blend. Stop at the liquor store or wherever one buys wine down there and get a decent (we're talking $15, not $60) bottle made from one grape. How does the committee vote?

    Hmm, good idea, I'll grab a nice Malbec on the way home

     

    Always be prepared. Have the baby wipes and astroglide on hand just in case

    Lol, it made me think of this...

     

    PS Explicit content warning:

     

  10. And, unless it's been agreed to already, no checking on the game. There's plently of time for that after she leaves in the morning. ;)

    I do not believe I will be that lucky

     

    The beauty of modern technology, hiding the porn is only a mouse click or two away. But back in my day...

    DELTE HISTORY DELETE HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Do you have this situation locked up, or should we convene an executive committee to develop your strategy for the evening?

    I think I have it locked up but an executive committee could help.

  11. Outstanding. Congrats!

     

     

     

    What's she making?

    1. ink, just noticed this; congrats.

     

    2. i'll bet he doesn't know and doesn't care

    Congrats to INK!

     

    lol you are half right, I don't care what she is making ;) but I do know. She is making her homemade spaghetti sauce and cooking up some wheat pasta for it. I am providing Heron Hill Eclipse as the wine of the evening (its a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc)

     

    Time to hide the porn buddy. oh, and put the action figures away.

    Crap... I need to leave work early to hide the porn... good call!

  12. It has been all doom and gloom for good reason this week so let us celebrate the good.

     

    I very lovely young lady will be making me dinner tonight. She bet on Red and I bet on White at the G-Day scrimmage and I won. Looking forward to some good food and her company.

  13. Sounds good. I'll have to check it out.

    should be noted again plot twists, plot twsists, plots twists.

     

    Basically never assume anyone has a firm grasp on the power they hold. It seems to me in GoT that power is like trying to hold water in your hands.

  14. So we have a system wide password that changes every semester. Usually within 2-5 days it is posted on the internet. Well someone tweeted it and even though it is 3 weeks before finals and its probably been out there for months they changed the damn thing... Student panic has insued...

  15. I watched the latest episode last night. Holy mackerel!

    It was pretty good. Daenerys Targaryen is being all clever and such. Jon Snow is way in over his head. Uhhh it is going to be such a good season.

     

    and the fun Game of Thrones fact of the day is this:

    Tamzin Merchant was originally cast as Daenerys but thankfully we ended up with Emilia Clarke... who is much more... ummm .... yea...

  16. Anyone see Stevie's tweet?

    Dude makes me laugh, much like the team on the field.

    I know this was tweeted/posted last weak and all but it is infinitely less funny now.

     

    Austin is a way better college receiver than Parrish ever was. Not really advocating picking him at 8 but he's a first round talent. He and his teammate were the big reasons Geno Smith looked like a Heisman candidate for the first half of the season.

    Austin's size is really the only issue. That being said I think what the bills do is hype of the kid than at the last moment trade back to perhaps TB at 13. That way they can draft someone they want and maximize their assets.

  17. All signs "indicate he has a great work ethic?" Because he works out Gary Roberts? His great work ethic certainly doesn't come across on the ice. Hodgson has looked as uninterested as the rest of his teammates this season. An I am the one accused of "glamorizing?"

     

    I read this board and it doesn't seem many "fans" are having fun watching this team play. Actually, i seems this roster of players causes more anger than anything else. We definitely have different ideas on what constitute being a fan. IMO, being a fan means never having to lie to yourself about a player or the team. I have strong opinions on what type of players I would like to see wearing a Sabres uniform and the type of players I think can turn this franchise around making them "fun to watch" and becoming a true contender. Contender for a Cup not just a 8th or 9th place. Cody Hodgson doesn't fit that mold.

    So the Sophomore points leader, #1 center on our team at 22, best passer on our team, one of the most difficult guys to force off the puck is not in the mold for a Stanley cup team?

     

    Look you want me to be realistic about CoHo than fine I will.

    He started the year hot partially because of Vanek and partially because the eastern conference didn't know how to handle him. Now Vanek has cooled, he is matched up against good opposition that have figured him out a little. He needs to work on draws and be more defensively responsible. Well this is year 2. He's still a kid and I bet most if not all teams would love to have a 22yr old with this guys potential. Hate him all you want but Cody Hodgson brings at least 10x as much to the table as Zack Kassian did.

     

    I said it before and I will continue to, Hodgson is better and will continue to be better than Kassian.

  18. Interesting? 2 points in the last 9 games and it looks likes many have forgotten this thread existed. Is it because old CoHo's disappearance down the stretch this season is a reminder of his disappearance last season?

     

    Over time this is going to end up being one my all time favorite threads. :w00t:

    Cody Hodgson is better than Zack Kassian. Enjoy.

  19. So last Friday:

    We end up going out (as usual) and instead of our favorite bartender working he is just there... drinking. Well he gets free drinks and proceeds to start handing us shots. Before you worry this is not my complaint, it was awesome! So we get shwasted. Wake up the next morning and I discover that I have received a private FB message at 3am that same day. Now some of you will recall I have gone on a few dates recently and have posted some pictures of me with said lady on my FB. So this 3am message I see when I wake up from my alcohol induced coma at around 10am. The sender is a girl I have not spoken to since 2011. You may recall we had a really terrible breakup. Now the only logical conclusion I can come to is that she facebook stalked me, saw said lady, and then got hammered resulting in her thinking it would be a wonderful idea to send me a drunken message. I am not responding and she needs to knock it the f##k off.

     

    I have since double checked my privacy setting and discovered that friends of friends could see my timeline (we have 2 mutual friends still). I have corrected this error.
