Night Train

I watched the gym short olympics (Combine) last week. WR is crazy deep. Also need DL and Secondary. Lots of depth. Deep draft. All have highlight film on Youtube . It's crazy how fast and athletic these guys are compared to players 20-30 years ago. Cyborgs.

The Bears were the team that gave Bates an offer sheet that the Bills matched. Insurance at the time. Bears obviously still wanted him and the Bills are now in a different place. Yes, Anderson has been taking C snaps in practice. Morse, along with J. Phillips, Hyde and others were some of the players I believe were considering retirement. I'll still wait to see more expected moves over the next few weeks before viewing the roster. Speculation now is just guessing. Media knows nothing.

I thought Bates was replacing Morse at C. Looks like Beane had other ideas. Now I believe the Bills currently have 3 5th round picks and 3 6th round picks. Beane is starting his wheeling, dealing and re-working. At least one GM in Buffalo is doing something to improve his team.

GA for NJ was 2.71 last year. 51 wins Now it's 3.49. 30 wins, Yikes ! Goals way down on O. Injuries and bad D. 2-5 in last 7 with a 4.5 GA. Hmm...

Are some suggesting Back To The Future with Ruff ??

9. Rochester Nick Tahou garbage plates will be the pre-game meal for all home games.

Cleared 70 F today, North of Buffalo. Sunny and enjoying a cigar outside on the deck.

So this current roster has basically peaked at .500. Non-physical. Wildly inconsistent. Turnover prone. Has some talent but the prime scoring players scored half the expected rate. Needs a major shakeup. With UPL and Levi, they have the G position solidified. After that, the D corp needs a couple more solid players. Power and Samuelsson need a major kick in the can. The Forward group has been puzzling. They were no-shows for such long stretches. Float back on D far too often. Just not rugged at all. Coach and GM are past their expiration date but the owner is AWOL with family and other business concerns. I sensed this was not going well when his wife sent out that bad letter to ticket holders, basically stating their lifestyle came first. Love hockey...but this hockey plan doesn't work. I'll watch to see if changes come before next October but running it back looks like the current thought. They seem so disconnected from reality. Can't blame the fans for taking a pass on tickets. 13 years of April golf.

" As you can see by the recent wins, we're almost there " Adams repeats again and for the next 10 years. Run mediocrity back ! .. or actually try and make the playoffs before we're all dead.

Sabres raised their sticks to the crowd tonight, instead of their 5 iron.

Don't care if Vegas has injuries. I'm enjoying the game out of spite.

What hustle by Benson

Power just stood there on the goal. MOVE !

Need to see what happens between now and October. Trades now or during the summer ? Any change to coach or GM ? Running it back with little change would be sad. Most of our players we depend on to score saw their production drop to half of expected output.

The bottom line is all these high ratings without results reflects badly on the coaching staff... as it should.

I hope the league looked at that Benson mugging. That was such a blunder by the refs. They should get a red mark for that and demoted.

2 minutes for mugging ?

50's and 60's F here in WNY. Snowblower still has 3/4ths of a tank. Nothing burger this winter.

Happy with the win . Tampa did miss a ton of chances.

missed that Tampa delay of game..ugh..

Dahlin...sigh..right to their player..

Clifton with the massive hit..

Just win > Must win. It's all about getting the golf clubs ready with this current team. I bet many already have April reservations and tee times.
