I could see the potential of us looking more like the 05-06 team… lots of speed and attack through 3 lines instead of depending on one or two superstars.
This reminds me of the Amerks season when Roy, Miller, Pommers, Vanek, and the gang played. I was working in Rochester at the time and what a team that was.
Do you remember the constant sulking? Maybe in the first year or two he dreamed we’d be good soon. But overall we all saw the sulking, the bad post game interviews, etc.
Nothing really surprising. We all knew for years if we didn’t get to the playoffs sooner, rather than later, Jack was going to request a trade. We were talking about it 3 years ago. Jack was never really happy playing for this organization and you can’t blame him. The mismanagement of this team was mindboggling on every level. He wasn’t going to waste his prime years here. Can you imagine being Jack on this team this year? Yikes. He’d be about 27-28 before we are competitive again IF we hit on picks and development. It’s a no brainer if I’m Jack.
It’s getting back to the point of being unwatchable yet another year. 5 L’s in a row with two high powered teams next. The Fight for Wright is back on.
And next week is no gimme. The Jets have a great d line and their offense has been scoring points. The book is out on how to beat the Bills. And we are even more banged up going into next week.
