What happened to the heroic captain we were sold the last 3-4 years?
It’s win/lead first and business second for the great ones. Like Josh Allen.
Okposo is and always was a fraud.
And what is your rationale for claiming Okposo was a fraud? Wins (or lack thereof)? You're going to lay that on him? Has he ever said anything publicly to give you the impression he was a fraud? Do you have some information about his interactions in the locker room? At practices?

Agree. It's been McBeane's MO since they got to Buffalo. Create as much competition as possible and see who rises to the top. Mostly true when there has been no clear-cut starter at a position. There's nothing that's making it difficult to cut any of these recent WR signings before camp ends.

Presuming most of the UFA's come back, yes, they should be. But a LOT of that team can go where they choose this off-season.
Europe?

I tend to look at this issue in two question form.
1. Since the tank commenced, who have been the good captains on this team?
2. What other captains in the league, because of their leadership qualities, would have made a difference in the Sabres season? (Exclude the 80-120 point producing C's because that certainly would have made a difference).
If the answer to those questions is no one then the problem is NOT the guy wearing the C.

Graduated from Canisius High School, went to Michigan to study creative writing, wrote two horror novels and worked at a Christmas tree farm.

...sounds a bit over qualified for this organization.
So this makes Gulati eminently qualified to also pen the upcoming book entitled 'Terry Pegula and the Buffalo Sabres'.

Yea, this was all planned. There was no search for ***** and Ruff was told that he was hiring Appert. Appert wanted his video coach.
I was circling back to KA's comment about talking to 'double digit' HC candidates at Lindy's presser. Seemed like lots of activity and due diligence in a short period time. I can see now why probably 9 of those 'interviews' collectively took a grand total of 45 minutes to accomplish.

I know we're saying All Time, but the bills missed for... 17 years!! I get it's harder in football than hockey, but man, that's a looooonnnnng time.
What would happen if we hit 17 with the Sabres... I mean, at that point, the team would have to move no

After watching the ROC game last night (admittedly a small sample size) if anyone other than Johnson and Levi are on the Sabres next year the team is in for a long season. No one else looks ready to make the jump. The Amerks should be fun to watch though.

Picking nits here but should he be including Olofsson as a Sabre?

He's very lucky he has recovered to the point he has. Well, luck and hard work. I hope he can contribute to the broadcasts in some way.
I wrote for early editions of Shout! Magazine. I wrote about local and national broadcasts of Bills games. When I had to call John for an interview, I was so nervous. He made it easy. He was pleasant and didn't come off as some kind of big shot. He was sports director at Channel 7, it was the afternoon and I'm sure he was busy. We even talked Rick and my Rick mix tape. He wanted a copy so I sent one to him.
Great memories of a special time in life.
Thanks for everything, Murph.
That's awesome PA! Must have been a blast. I remember excitedly waiting for that to show up in the mail. And my wife knowing not to bother me for a while after it did.

Was this the same group that had Li'l Abner and Chief White Owl? (Ow, my lumbago is now acting up!)
Yes indeed! Forgot about those guys.

If the Sabres can't get a suitable vet for #11, does it make sense to move it plus a good prospect in order to move up to get Lindstrom - who is very different than all of our current top prospects?

I loved when the Sheik was on. Or Bobo Brazil.
And his manager Abdulla Faroof (I think that was his name?). I was partial to Domenic DiNucci (being an Italian kid). Thanks Punch .... now I feel really old. 😄

One of my favorite vids every year. 'Embedded' in the Bills' draft room. I would love to be allowed to sit in a chair in the back of the room and just observe.
I was really impressed with the maturity of that DT from Duke picked in the 3rd round. Seems about 10 or 12 years older than Coleman.

Lots of current (me included) and soon-to-be sexagenarians around here. That's such an odd - and sometimes horribly contradictory - term.

For those who can’t watch … Bandits were down 8-4 in the 4th. Now leading 10-8. Crowd is insane!

Did not. Great to hear tho. Can’t wait to get Sabres crowds like this.

Nice to watch a TO-Buffalo game in KBC with the lower bowl full of Buffalo fans.

Rich people avoiding taxes. Shocker.
My tax burden is almost 20% and that doesn't include sales tax and property tax and more.
I think most people, ‘rich’ or otherwise, avoid paying taxes to the extent they are lawfully able.
And our tax code and laws, as they exist in present form, are badly broken.-

What’s the context and implication of the bolded?
I also did some Googling. It would appear that there’s some distancing, at best, and estrangement, at worst.
And I’ll allow it: It’s notable that Jessica was on record as saying that her mom had plans for her in the sports ownership/management realm, but that her tennis career would come first.
Maybe that’s still the plan. It will bear watching, I suppose.
I’ll add: Are there ways for a wealth of this magnitude to be gifted or bequeathed to the family’s next generation? There are family ownerships acrosst the NFL. But the Bills were sold out of Ralph’s estate, yeah?
There are certainly ways to transfer assets with varying tax ramifications. The tricky part is developing a strategy that still complies with NFL and NHL ownership rules (in this case).
Regarding the Bills sale, I don’t know for certain, but all signs point to the Bills having been placed in a charitable remainder trust years prior. (Different entity than the estate). Negated the capital gains tax upon the sale of the team making those dollars available to the recipient charity (mostly, if not all, the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation).
TMI?

Wonder if Cozens will play C or on the wing? Pair Byram and Power?

He'll understand. Hell, he'll probably ask you to keep him in mind if something opens up for him too.

Bills have done this several times. Floyd was signed to rush the passer. Joe B in the Athletic has an article on this today. Vet cuts coming. $ 10.2 Mil more come June 1st ( T.White). Don't know the draft pool total needed for contracts but $ can always be moved if there's a desired player.
Mini-camp will give them an idea if the depth chart has actual quality in certain areas. They have the physical bodies now. Can they grasp the O or D ? I'm sure with the draft picks, that was already determined with the higher selections. All part of the deal marching forward towards September. Not playing a game this week.
BB has alluded to this on more than one occasion. 'We're a long way from September'. I truly believe there will be another vet WR added via trade or FA. And will not be surprised to later learn that's it been lined up for a while (including general terms) just waiting for the cap space to open up. Beane doesn't take a crap without having a plan. We just won't know what that is for a while.
