I hear ya Juju, I was actually thinking 1 FG, but 3? Man, who knew?

So, what your saying is, my hunch may have been correct? Allen is just so freaking good.

LOL I won't even Hmmmm it. It's that humorous lol Hey, maybe it's a game of touchdowns, safeties? Cause kicking isn't living up to the hype lol

Milano!!!

I told you, the kicking game will be the difference. My bad on Bass. Your bad on the Ravens kicker. agreed? With that said, I am not impressed with Baltimore, but...........I am equally not impressed with Buffalo, specifically Singletary.

Oh, I never claimed to be intelligent, merely that the weather environment at Rich stadium will be a factor for a kicker who's not familiar with it. After all, a hmmmm is not like me saying I told you so, at least, not yet anyways 😉 No worries, Buffalo's D is GAME ON!!!! WE GOT THIS!!!!!

Bass for 3........ Hmmmmm

Hmmmm Thank you

News to me. I've only read that there is a rift between him and the coach, in not one of those reports from TSN, NBC, THN and other media outlets have I heard he wants to go to a bigger market.

I'm underestimating no one, and Bass has actually practiced in Buffalo all season long, Tucker hasn't. No matter his accuracy, I'm still hedging my bet that tonight's weather will impact his game.

Love the optimism, but they didn't dominate last night, and most certainly not the night before. They played better last night, but once again, 0 out of a possible 4 points in 2 home games to start the season is a kick in the balls imo. There are only 56 games this year in case you hadn't noticed, every point lost only drags a team already known to not play a full season year after year further in to the basement imo.

I only know what I know, and that is Baltimore's kicker has not been subjected to the weather and wind conditions of a place like Buffalo on a regular basis, that could lead to some mis-steps or mistakes. I'm hedging my bet that it will. Take it with a grain of salt, but tonights game isn't going to be won in the trenches, nor in the backfields, it's going to be won in the kicking game, just a hunch of mine.

He hasn't had to play in the winter swirling winds in Buffalo. We'll see tonight just how good he is I reckon.

I'm not worried about Dahlin, like you said, he's 20. But to give him 20+ minutes a game while he's playing like this, NOT GOOD COACHING? Sorry, just had to twist the knife while it's in.........

Makes me love Skinner even more. A true professional imo.

Someone needs to speak to Terry and Kim. They should be aware this coaching staff isn't the droids they are looking for. And it better happen like right now if they want any chance of salvaging this shortened seasons chances for the playoffs. If they want Jack to stick around for that matter. It's that bad here in Buffalo. Go out and make the trade for PLD, size, grit, center, 22 yrs old, very moldable. You grab that if available, because they don't come along often. But it's abundantly clear the Capitals just came in to the Sabres house and stuffed a big FU, our points, in RK's face. Just horrible, and I mean truly gut wrenchingly horrible to see our team basically kicked in the balls 2 nights in a row. Ralph's on now, explaining away how we had them in every category except scoring. Well no ***** sherlock, it's your job to coach the players in to scoring positions, change strategies, make adjustments that find success in game. I have really never said anything about this coach or coaching staff, but they suck, and I'm being earnestly blunt.

If I'm Adams, I'm topping any offer by Montreal. PLD is a package Buffalo needs, Center, Size, Tenaciousness and Skill. You acquire players like this, especially at 22 yrs of age, under team control, a bit raw, but very moldable with the right coaching staff. Foolish not to grab this guy imo.

Good question. I look to the bench as well.

And there in lay a big problem for the Sabres, they aren't physical nor tough in any sense of the words. They lack heavily in puck possession and puck control, and it shows, that's toughness, that's physical play. As a matter of fact, I'm just going to keep saying it, the only player on this roster capable of sustained physical play is McCabe. I see no others. If the team continues without changes, goaltending, defense, size, toughness/physicality and coaching, I see another 3 to 7 spot draft pick and another reason for Eichel to say I'm not interested in sticking around.

I'm actually going to say it, 0-8 start, this team is coached that badly.

Yep. It's definitely culture, and culture starts with coaching at the ice level. The talent is here, strategy and deployment of the talent is seriously lacking. The old schtick of buying in to the system or some other quick one liner isn't going to cut it. You just let another division team come in to your house and waltz away with 4 points, on a very short runway, un-fracking-acceptable, and that starts with urgency from those that are guiding the on ice game play imo.

They need to show they can control play, control a game. They can't.

They literally, and I do mean literally, did nothing to fix anything. You can bring in all the talent you'd like, but it's definitely the team culture that is the problem here. They have heart, no grit, no size. Meet the new Buffalo Sabres, same as the old Sabres.

Nice, good things can happen when you throw it at the net.

I take it you caught that play where he could have pressured the Cap player deep in the O zone but turned away..... I caught that to
