Flub shot. Flub save. Flub Goal. Flub Goaltending is preventing success.
Goaltending is the only reason they got a point or had a chance tonight.

Auburn, you *****
Just brutal down the stretch there. That’s an L in my book for Bama. UGA should beat the hell out of them, but the game means nothing for Georgia since they’re in either way.

And people don't get a chance to enjoy a blowout Bills victory every week either.
Definitely not. Blowouts are a great time to figure out what works and what doesn’t. This team is good enough where we aren’t often losing our minds when things are going well but they’re definitely good enough for it to capture meaningful attention when terrible plays are made.
This team is a Super Bowl contending team when healthy (this league is full of parity right now, there are probably ten teams that could). I want that for them and I demand that of them.

And Tre’s injury makes playing without egregious mistakes even more important.

I know this is a mistake to post, but nothing Josh did last night was 'unacceptable.'
The guy threw 4 touchdowns and led his team to 31 points. He missed 5 throws all night, and at least 2 of them were thrown away on purpose. His team won going away.
What I find hard to accept is the degree of angst and over-analysis that follows any sign of a misstep, and it only seems to accelerate the closer the team gets to the ultimate goal.
He's a special must-watch athlete, objectively one of the best Bills fans have ever had the opportunity to cheer for.
Have a beer, sit back and let yourself enjoy what he does.
The Jags and Colts games are great examples of why there’s angst even in victory with this team. The problems being pointed out are the problems that are costing them games. They are problems that will cost them big games if not corrected.

If it is to win the game, than that interception was clearly acceptable, because they reached their goal. Easily.
If it is to play perfectly, then it is no wonder watching football makes people crazy.
The better you play the better your chances are to win a game. They’re not going to play a mediocre team littered with an unimaginable number of key injuries every week.

The first one was bad, but on the second one, his arm was hit as he was throwing. Timing was bad, but it wasn't just a bad throw.
It was a bad play overall. It’s on Josh to take what’s there - especially in the red zone when red zone when Sanders probably walks in.
This cannot end in an interception and it’s on the QB.

OK..some progress.The D was good. The offense was at least getting quicker releases from Josh overall..and running on a consistent level(frequency)-enough to keep the D honest.
back to basics was helpful.
PS--the saints are not a bad team
The Saints that were on the field last night were very bad. Check their injury report.

Definitely a strong second half for him. Those two INTs in the first half were unacceptable.

Good game tonight. I hope and pray that Tre White is ok.
Tre’s health could make or break the season and so far it doesn’t look good. One thing I AM encouraged by is that he was initially “doubtful” to return and not immediately ruled out.
-
Josh is just lost out there
-
Goodnight, boys. Season is a wrap.
-
Another uncomfortable start.
-
McKenzie is indeed a scratch tonight. Replaced by rookie Stevenson in the return game.
-
McKenzie says he’s out for the year and doubled down on it but none of the city’s sports reporters seem to be aware at all

The Bills need to scheme a way to establish the run more or this season is over. Bottom line. Do more play action and underneath stuff vs the shell. It’s not hard. The defense, when healthy, will keep you in games.
This offseason needs to be about adding to the offensive line and running back positions. The era of the running back position being irrelevant is over.

It looks like that article was written a couple weeks before McKenzie's final rankings. In any case, no one had him as high as 13.
It looks like he may have been demoted from the SHL back to the Junior League. The team website does list him at 80kg (176lb) so maybe he did put on weight (and it's not a flagrant round up from somewhere in the low 70's). I'm still very pessimistic (I was so happy to get that pick for Risto), but would really love to be proven wrong in the long run.
If you are going to haggle about a guy ranked as high as 16 and in that range by multiple sources being taken just three spots higher you should stop entering conversations about prospects. This isn’t a team taking a guy 15-20 spots higher than anyone even considered him. I’m willing to bet the Sabres aren’t the only team that had him that high.

I remember the initial reaction to the Bloom pick by the experts was pretty negative. View was he didn’t produce at a high clip prior to COVID and then had a full year off. This is a huge scouting success if he keeps on this path.

With Mittlestadt, Cozens, and Thompson as your top 3, how big is the need?
Huge. Three unproven players don’t mitigate the need for additional help at any position. Even if all three pan out you still want high-level centers in the system.

I meant that the team reached way higher to take him over any other draft prognosticator out there. They did well to get the pick for Risto and they could have done better in my opinion.
As a 13th overall pick that you have to hope grows A LOT, you'd want to see much more evidence of offensive upside. His numbers at that draft position are more indicative of a normal sized kid.
I just did a brief google of 2021 mock drafts and from the first four reputable sources I clicked on he was ranked 21st, 19th, 16th and 14th. You should rethink your view of the initial value of that pick.

No, they aren't. But Syracuse is not good either. They can't handle the ball. They don't really have an inside game either. The SU defense in this game was so bad I was kinda amazed.
The backcourt is so key in college basketball. The tournament proves time and time again how important it is to have an experienced ball handler.

Christ, Syracuse needs a friggin point guard! If I have to watch Joe Girard panic away one more possession because he can't ball handle, then pick up his dribble early, then throw a trash pass...
...as I type this he hits a 3 to give Syracuse the lead back.
Doesn't change a thing.
It’s an off year for the A10, too, except for the Bonnies at the top. VCU isn’t a strong group.

They could’ve gotten more miraculous goaltending through the OT and still lost if they didn’t score. They didn’t get two points because they didn’t score more.
It absolutely is. To deny it is to force a narrative. The goaltending for this team sucks. It wasn’t the problem tonight until OT which shouldn’t have been necessary.
***** bingo.
