  1. That's what you get with a QB that's probably not even 6'1" and can't see over the linemen. Drew Brees is a rare breed.
  2. Even if TT is not hurt, they may as well play Peterman the rest of the year. Ravens have the tiebreaker and have 3 winnable games putting them @ 10-6. No way the Bills catch the Jags.
  3. At this point, I'm beginning to question the value of "veteran leadership".
  4. How bout they just move the Sabres to Seattle and be done with it ?
  5. Hard to hold guys accountable when most likely you are not doing your own job. Time for Housley to healthy scratch a few of them and skate their arses off to see if that works. Although it probably won't as the main problem is the lack of motivated talent on this team with the exception of Kane. Combine mediocre goaltending with a below average defense and there you have it. And a college kid soon to be making $10mil who seems to think he's above playing hard every shift. At least Nolan has work ethic.
  6. He'll figure it out about the same time Lehner realizes that hugging the post with just your skate doesn't work.
  7. Nolan might be our best forward so far.
  8. For a one-off jersey, I would've preferred something more like this.
  9. They root for snow so they can go to Sun Valley.
  10. Bills lose the next 2 and Peterman will right back in there for the Colts.
  11. One of many things I miss about WNY is the fairly short driving distance to other big cities with professional sports teams.
  12. It's amazing how many native born Americans are geographically ignorant.
  13. Fact ... but does it matter if the D sucks ? They're not beating the Chiefs or the Pats. I'd go with the probability of 8-8 not making the playoffs and tank with Peterman. A few spots up in the '18 draft might make a difference in getting the right QB.
  14. That be true, but Dareus was gone and the defense left the building. TT sucked against the Saints.
  15. They ditched Tyrod after an abysmal loss to the the Jets and a slaughter @ home by the Saints.
  16. So be it - do you think it's fair that they ditch Peterman after one half of play ? What would be rationale for playing TT if the defense continues to suck ? So they lose by less ?
  17. Not me ... this team has zero chance of beating the Chiefs or the Pats with the defense currently in shambles. They might not beat the Colts or Fins either. Taylor is 100% gone after this season. I say play Peterman and get a bigger sample size.
  18. The Pegulas are in on it for sure.
  19. IMO, it stems from Eichel being a man among boys up to and including college. Easy to take shifts or parts of shifts off when you're really good compared to everyone else. Work ethic needs to change and Housley should skate his a** off until he gets the message.
  20. I might concede that the Leafs have had a "losing culture" since expansion, but they have something we don't. A winning tradition.
  21. I don't want any more 6'1" QBs thanks
  22. The 2005-06 team just had better players ... period ... a bunch of 20+ goal scorers, defensemen that could score, 2 better than average goalies, and a captain that had previously won the Cup. I agree with your 4 points as management has not fielded the best team they could, coaching has not done the correct prep, this team doesn't seem to depend on each other, and luck sometimes comes to better teams. There is a simply not enough talent on this roster which in turn produces losses and fosters a "losing culture".
  23. Johnny Football part 2
  24. Then at point do you identify a team as having a "losing culture" ? When was the last time the Canadiens won anything ? Bout 25 years ago ... would you classify them as a "losing culture" ? IMO, it's the totality of the franchise. Did the Red Sox have a "losing culture" prior to 2004 ? How about the Astros prior to this year ?
  25. Maybe cuz there's a few banners hanging around the ACC ... same with Edmonton. We haven't won anything ... ever. Eichel is not McDavid, nor is he Crosby. But in fairness to Jack, he has no Malkin, Letang, Draisaitl, etc. Put Jack on the Lightning right now and watch him light it up.
