Night Train

refs not having a good night.

He's playing better than a lot of our regulars.

Beane work Spotrac cap figs for 2024 with savings. The key is to the right right. Cap hit minus lower dead cap = savings. What the final cap fig is to be determined. So Where are the possible savings for 2024 at present ? Some contracts could be redone, I get that. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/2024/ Current targets with savings T. White - 6 Mil Taron Johnson - 7.6 Mil Morse - 11.5 Mil Poyer - 5.5 Mil N.Hines - 5 Mil Harty - 4 Mil other smaller savings near the bottom (lower salaries) Others like Knox and Von Miller come up in 2025. So the Bills could still sign some needed help in Vet FA, prior to the draft. Douglas trade was a 3rd rounder (received back a 5th) but they get a 3rd round comp for Edmunds. So they siill pick at least once in all 7 rounds with 2 picks in Round 5 and 4 picks in round 6... Which means lots of trading around on Day 2-3 of the draft for specific targets, little doubt.

No QB to set things up. No plan at all. It's killing them. They have such a small margin for error. Faceoffs..PP...lack of success means .500.

I didn't mean to infer I was outraged. Just found that stat much higher than anticipated. I'm retired. If I run, I take some Imodium.

Wow. Last season, he was one of our worst floaters getting back on D.

So yesterday was election day. Just saw a news story. Among the several Western NY counties, there were a total of 766 contests. 78 % of these contests...were UNCONTESTED. That's sad.

We need to get whipping boys Victor O and Bryson out of our brains and focus on the fact that theTEAM needs to do a better job overall. PP is broke. They might as well decline it most times, if given that absurd option. The opposition has better scoring opportunities more often than not. That should be worked on heavily every practice or .500 and no playoffs is the expected result. Getting the puck out of their own zone is another issue. Backchecking, instead of floating. I can only fault the Goalies so much.

Clifton with a nice play.

IS THAT ALL YOU GOT ! Oh..it's the first minute..

I have someone working on my back at the Buffalo VA hospital who just moved here from Seattle and played professionally. Born in Sri Lanka. Very nice young athletic guy who is trying to find a local club. Talks about it with passion... while he kicks the ***** out of me.

Bills are currently 9th out of 16 teams in the AFC. On the outside looking in. Eyes wide open for fans not wearing the prescription rose colored glasses. I'm a fan but this looks like a horse race where several other horses blow by your horse in the stretch and the jockey just jogs him to the finish line to race another day. (next season) Out of gas. Beane has a heck of an off-season coming up in January. I have One Bills Live on in the background and the callers are just unloading.

Corrected. Was a shortage in the off-season and now it's even worse. Shelves seem empty.

When there is a talent issue, the blame game no longer works. This looks like a .500 team by the end of the season with this upcoming schedule and current level of play. Love Josh but no QB turns the ball over more. Bills granted his wish to hire Dorsey as the OC and it's not working. He needs to be coached harder. Execution looks slow. No running game when needed. Easy for the opposing D to stop the last 5 weeks. Predictable playcalling with no imagination. Understand the injuries but the schemes lacked on both sides of the ball, even at full strength. McDermott is getting outcoached. Has no answers if it's in week 5 of the slide. Lip service.

Nicknames are for dogs. Get a flea collar.

What's his GAA ?

Need a whipping boy, even if Sabres win. Bitterness is so awesome...I guess.

One of their peanut sticks could feed a family of 6.

I had major doubts about him after the first half of last season. He kept losing the puck and fanning on shots. Seemed to be a head case. Then he improved a lot late in the year and certainly looks like a long term keeper now. Good for him.

The feedback locally was Allen having the shoulder and prevous elbow issues made them skiddish about sending him into the pile. Plus Murray was recently failing in short yardage. Thus the Leonard Fornette signing. We shall see but those failures need to change obviously.

Season is a marathon but I'm seeing improvement. Go Sabres !

Beane said Joseph has been sending out these recent insane workout vids with him squatting 600 + lbs. and other over the top numbers that got his attention . At 35, that's pretty impressive. Sounds like a NG ala Jones that can eat the double team with power. Can't hurt to play him in the rotation. Bills do use a lot of DL during games.

Yikes ! Shield your eyes. I have NHLN on as I type and a minute ago, they were talking about our game and UPL. Said last year, UPL would have lost that game 7-4 . Anyone else hear that ? Sounds like praise ! (duck)
