Actually, the research on the matter suggests precisely the opposite. And it's easy to say it's pretty harmless when you're not the subject of it.

You don't give the Sabres nearly enough credit for their ability to have bad things happen all on their own.

As long as McDermott is coach, not only is it fathomable, but it should be expected.

You didn't know about how mental health issues at the time, though.

I'll take missing the point for 2000, Alex.

He's bad at...60% of coaching? The defense has had some bad games, to be sure, but I think he's genuinely good at getting the most out of the talent he has on that side of the ball. His game management and everything having to do with offense, on the other hand...

???

McDermott is who he is, unfortunately.

I genuinely enjoyed Derek Anderson trying not to get trucked by 96 while "chasing" down the INT.

Go. For. 2.

Who needs yards when you can get FGs!?!?!?!

I do. My problem? They could do it to Brady!

3 plays and the Pats are in FG range. Good thing we kicked a FG instead of trying to score. Not like you ever need to get points to beat the Pats.

I like how Mark Kelso just casually assumed we'd go into halftime down only 9-3 when the Patriots still have 1:39 to go. One would assume Johnny Rzeznik banged him.

Russ Brandon's fault, obviously.

Well yea, the team is good. Matthews missed 20 games last season and they still had 105 points.

Sean McDermott is from the school of Andy Reid. Unfortunately for us, it was Reid's school of game management, not his school of offense. ETA until Anderson kills this drive with a pick?

Defense doing all you can ask.

Auston Matthews' shoulder may have exploded tonight. F the Leafs.

He has been bad, but I'd like Ullmark to make a save.

Well that was anticlimactic.

Can Okposo take any more penalties? FFD

Came to play this period!

He was at the end of a really long shift.

This period has been all Columbus. Bleh.
