I got two small satisfactions out of yesterday's game: I work with a Jets fan who is a total douchenozzle who is all upset and posting stuff about how classless the Bills are for celebrating knocking them out of the playoffs (what?) and I had friends at the game that had a blast.

I stand corrected. One more loss gives the Bills the 14th pick. Two more gives them the 11th pick.

It also depends on what happens in the offseason, innit?

Two more years. It's three years unless you absolutely know otherwise. I'm not counting Murray's first year and a half because the intention was to be bad. Three years from the start of this season.

I think there's no way this team is playoffs or bust next year. At least not for Bylsma and Murray. And I think that would be a mistake if they were to go that route.

It's "bae."

There's only one way to be a fan. Definitively. No ifs ands or buts about it. You have zero right to decide on your own how to spend your own time being entertained. For sure. If you think otherwise jump off a bridge.

The Bills will draft 19th overall. They would've drafted 16th win one more loss. 10th with two more losses.

I don't know. Ask somebody who said they would.

Currently.

Absolutely, yes. We've literally got zero cap space going into the offseason with Cordy Glenn and Richie Incognito both expiring. They're going to need it. This divorce is already done. The paperwork is all that's left...

Somebody showed a breakdown of his first, I believe, four weeks. He dropped into coverage a total of nine times in that span. That's nine times to many but certainly nothing to cry about. I blame Rex for it, but Mario has been extremely unprofessional and lazy about it. The team is right up to the cap. It needs the $12.9M he will clear by being lazy somewhere else (although I wouldn't be shocked if he actually puts in effort for a coach he doesn't hate).

Never did. (You can call a team for running up to the line if it results in a false start, but it happens almost every down when teams blitz and is never called)

Too bad Richardson never actually crossed the line. Bad call.

I have absolutely zero reason to believe anything will change in Buffalo. He's talked ###### about the entire team (probably correct, but still not right) and has put in zero effort. I'm sure it's no coincidence that he finally decides to make a play the week everybody knows he's auditioning for other teams... Meanwhile... Around The NFL @AroundTheNFL Kirk Cousins opens 6-of-6 for 105 yards and 2 TDs in the first 10 minutes of the game.

Oh, look! Mario made the first effort play of the entire season! He's suddenly worth $20,000,000.

First drive: Tyrod misses Sammy on a screen, gets a ball batted down behind the line and has to be rescued by Hogan on an easy INT deep.

The last thing they need is another defenseman.

I'm stealing this from Joe Yerdon of NHL.com, but the comparable recent deals are Nino Niederreiter (traded three years after being picked 5th overall) and Kyle Turris (traded four and a half years after being drafted 3rd overall). Turris went to Ottawa for David Rundblad and a second. Niederreiter went to Minnesota for Cal Clutterbuck and a third. So this likely isn't going to be nearly as expensive as well think. I would say Ennis and a 2nd plus maybe another small piece.

Tampa is a good match on this type of deal. They're not in need of defense. Ennis could be attractive for them as he does what, I assume, they want Drouin to do... When healthy. His health could definitely hinder any deal. Question: would you trade Girgensons for Drouin straight up? I don't know if I would, just asking. I would give Ennis and a 2nd easily. Not giving them a first. Ennis and Foligno? Larsson and Foligno? That'd be a pure steal. I don't think it's enough.

Jonathan Drouin has formally (and publicly) requested a trade from the Tampa Bay Lightning. The request happened in November. From his agent:

25 completions, 284 yards and 1 TD today will give Ryan Fitzpatrick the Jets single-season record in each category. He's having the most prolific season as a QB in Jets history.

Not actually a Sabres prospect, but Drake Caggiula spent dev camp with the Sabres...
