    Has Tennehill ever been particularly good against the Bills?

    Since his career revival with the Titans:

    21 for 28 for 198 yards, 3 TDs and 0 INTs. 4 rushes, 42 yards and a TD.

    That’s last year and that’s the only game he has played against Buffalo in Tennessee. Hard to say anything beyond that is relevant to tonight (or even that last year’s game is considering the COVID situation).

    I wouldn't underestimate Henry if I were you.  That said, hopefully with our improved defense and a clicking offense, he won't have a chance to be a factor.

    I’m not. I’m just noting his record against Buffalo. He leads the league in rushing by a mile right now. He’s probably a Hall of Famer.

    Also, if the Bills O. can make hay against a sub-par Titans D, then game script will limit Henry's usage.

    And Tannehill has not been very good so far this year so this has to be exactly what happens.

    I just don't think anything is going to happen any time soon. The insiders want to keep the pump primed but I'd bet it's pretty much radio silent now that we're into the regular season.

    The agreement between the Sabres and any potential suitor that makes everyone happy will end up being wildly complicated and I don't see how that can be resolved quickly. I still think we're looking at the off-season. 

    It’s even harder to make financials work in-season and there’s no guarantee you get Eichel to play at any point this season so there’s really no point to acquiring him. He may just be wasted for the entire season (marking two consecutive seasons). I do think Jack probably needs to start working on the litigation/grievance effort, even if I think it has very little chance to succeed.

    With all due respect to Friedman, how many of these supposed teams are actually extending serious offers? Because I bet the number is zero.

    He can say it, and it can be true, but it can also be totally meaningless. 

    Yea, outside of the Kaplan report about a deal being near a week or two ago I don’t get the feeling there have been serious offers. The teams probably know what the Sabres want and the Sabres probably know what teams are currently willing to give but that doesn’t mean offers have actually been made or exchanged.

    The Titans have me concerned, especially with Derrick Henry. I watched him play in the 2016 Iron Bowl vs. Auburn. He was just steamrolling over Auburn’s defense like there was no tomorrow.

     

    Then again, Tennessee does not have the benefit of being off for 17 days like they did last year.

    For the record, Derrick Henry has been mediocre at best against us.

    He has played Buffalo each of the last three seasons.

    Last year: 19 rushes for 57 yards (3 yards per carry) with 2 touchdowns. 1 catch for 6 yards.

    Two years ago: 20 rushes for 78 yards (just under 4 yards per carry) with 1 touchdown.

    Three years ago: 11 rushes for 56 yards (just over 5 yards per carry).

    He averages 64 yards rushing on 17 carries which is 3.8 yards per carry. Three total touchdowns and one catch.

    And he has never played a Buffalo defense this good. Matt Milano and Tre White were both out against Tennessee last year.

    Why? The return they receive for a Eichel will likely have minimal impact on this season. Why is there any pressure for them to do anything before they are ready?

    The same reason every team prefers players a little farther along in development in trades.

    You are creating your own pressure by worrying about sunk costs. Move on. 

    No, that’s not what’s happening.

    It’s exhausting that this board has become “you’re with us or against us” for a franchise that has given nothing but disappointment for a decade plus. Yes, I know what the response to this will be.

    After tonight the Bills have:

    vs Miami (1-5)

    @ Jacksonville (1-5)

    vs NYJ (1-4)

    vs Indianapolis (2-4)

    @ New Orleans (3-2)

    vs New England (2-4)

    @ Tampa Bay (5-1)

    vs Carolina (3-3)

    @ New England (2-4)

    vs Atlanta (2-3)

    vs NYJ (1-4)

     

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a schedule that easy. Any given Sunday and all that but a win tonight and this team should be anywhere from 14-3 to 16-1. It’s all about staying healthy and not letting anyone sneak up on you. Tampa is the real deal. Other than that? New Orleans, New England and Indianapolis are all teams that have competed but are inconsistent. Carolina looks terrible these last three weeks.

    Let’s win tonight and go into the bye feeling confident we can control the conference.

    There is no pressure on anyone here, just impatience on the side of Eichel and his agent to get something done. But impatience shouldn’t be confused with pressure. We have a talented, injured player on IR. That’s it. Nobody can expect much given the circumstances. 

    The Sabres should be impatient here, too. Right now, they’ve got nothing to show for Eichel or the suffering done to acquire him. They need this over sooner rather than later unless the hope is to kick the return as far down the road as possible which I can’t imagine is the case.

    I haven’t bothered reading the majority of this thread because why would anyone subject themselves to that, has there been any discussion about contingent trades. Like if Eichel plays in 2022, the Sabres get a 1st.  If he plays in the postseason, it’s another draft pick, and so on?

    Yes. This has been discussed dozens of times in this thread.

    Friedman on HNIC

    Teams are asking the Sabres to retain on Eichel’s Deal and they are refusing. 
    The Sabres are willing to take contracts back, but not retain 

     

     

     

    This is incredibly stupid if it’s a definitive rule. Obviously you have to consider it if the return is there. This team isn’t spending to the cap anytime soon. I would maybe get some conditional picks DEEP down the line where like four or five years down the line you get a third that becomes a first if Jack plays 70+ games.

    See, I think this is where KA is different from past GMs.  If it's a deal KA wants to do, and if he can sell the benefit to the team to the Pegulas even though some salary is retained, he might be able to pull the trigger.  Look for another Trip to Boca soon, I hope.

    Murray was known for making the deals he wanted regardless of the Pegulas. He just got dudes who probably spread a toxic gas throughout the locker room that the janitors have yet to clear out (including Jack Eichel).

    This is a really good breakdown and has the numbers @inkmanasked for. Edmunds average tackle depth on plays with 6 defenders in the box being 1.3 yards is wild. That means this team can consistently spread the defense out and rely on him to make plays. He leads the league in tipped passes which, again, is wild considering the position he plays. That’s also huge for him because he didn’t touch the ball a lot in college show it shows he’s not only already very good but he’s getting better. The Bills have given up the third fewest yards over the middle of the field.

    Some of the plays highlighted with the All-22 are absolutely dominant.

    If that kind of information was leaked, a trade would be irreversibly imminent.  If a team is not yet ready to pull the trigger they aren't going to name names.  Think what it would do the the psyche of the players mentioned.

    This is precisely correct. We’ve seen some names leak of players teams DON’T want to include and that’s likely just names the Sabres have asked for … but this isn’t fantasy sports. Guys aren’t just texting each other offers back and forth. Actual named offers are very rare in these negotiations.

    I’ve been a Dodgers fan my whole life. Other than a magical season with Orel Hersheiser on the mound, they’ve been a team that couldn’t get over the hump.  They had a 90s Bills vibe going until last season.  Just couldn’t rise up in the biggest moments, and add in the Astros cheating scandal.  I know they are huge spenders but they have been snakebit for so long.  

    The silver lining with the Dodgers is Max Scherzer and Trea Turner getting themselves another ring, so I can live with that. No silver lining for Houston. Boston? Well, at least I went to Fenway this year for a game.

    Hopefully she isn't running stories past NFL executives before reporting them a la Schefter.  Happens in broadcast news as well. 

    Not assessing her talent or contacts, but "insiders" are carrying the water of their sources more frequently than we'd want.  

    This is 100% the case. It's a regular practice. I don't think there's much wrong with running stories by a source to ensure what you're saying is accurate but the tone of what Schefter did/said is a much different situation. That felt so skeevy.

    THAT'S the series-ending at-bat that I stayed up for?  A BS called first strike and an even worse appeal to first base on "strike" three?

    Just brutal. This is the least-likable final four I've seen in any sport in a while. Go Braves, I guess?

    October is spooky content only. Kicked it off with Midnight Mass on Netflix which is another example of what Mike Flanagan makes the best horror tv writer ever (not movies, just tv).

    Went with a classic with Clue tonight which I haven’t seen since I was a kid and it was MUCH better as an adult considering I could actually understand the ridiculousness of it all.
