That Aud Smell

Especially if they shoot da puck. Go, Sabres.

Always a bit ominous when the National Weather Service tells you nearly a week in advance that a potentially significant LES event is coming. Quote from the local NWS forecaster's discussion: LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/ ... ... LAKE EFFECT SNOW BECOMING LIKELY LATE THIS PERIOD... ... Later Tuesday night with the passage of a cold front, deeper mixing will transport stronger wind gusts aloft to the surface, with near advisory level wind gusts for not only WNY, but also areas east of Lake Ontario. Still remaining breezy Wednesday with cold air deepening aloft. Highs Wednesday will occur early in the day for WNY, while a later cold front passage may allow for temperatures to rise a bit east of Lake Ontario before cooling through the afternoon hours. While the widespread synoptic rain will be ending to the east, the beginnings of a lake effect event will be starting, first off Lake Erie and then Lake Ontario. Thermal profiles during the daylight hours support mainly rain, but with cold air advection aloft, a change over to snow will occur by evening hours. From a climatological standpoint the pattern supports a significant lake effect snow event with the placement and depth of the low pressure system. ... This would include the metro areas of Buffalo and Watertown. ... One concern with this event is the available synoptic moisture. While the pattern supports significant lake effect snow, the deeper synoptic moisture will carry northward of our region with the surface low. ... Still many details to iron out in the next few days as far as band placement and intensity goes. ... [T]he lake effect snow potentially carrying on deep into the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Passing shortwaves aloft from the upstream mid/upper level low will bring some oscillation to the bands of lake effect snow Thursday and onwards. Regardless of where the bands eventually setup travel disruptions are becoming likely from the lake snows, so stay tuned as the forecast becomes fine tuned.

Someday, they'll listen to @PASabreFan and hire a matronly Black woman to belt 'em out.

It was hilarious.

I think I know a family by that name - or, at least, that's about how the name's pronounced.

Man. Jost at the 3C is gross.

The quoted excerpt from Sharp is directed to McDermott's remarks following the loss in the AFC Championship game, which was the year before 13 Seconds.

A single drive against an otherwise overwhelming weight of evidence. Roger that. The larger point that is made in the write-up is that, philosophically and fundamentally, there's a disconnect between what McDermott wants his team to be and what Allen's essential makeup is. I agree with that 100%. On that go-ahead touchdown against Denver, there was this split second where basically our entire section (300s, so we're perched) spontaneously roared/groaned something like "gooooo!" at Allen because he clearly had a lane and the angle to get to the end zone, but we all saw the same thing: A split second hesitation that seemed destined to doom the play. Except it didn't. McDermott is a very good NFL head coach. Nonetheless, the Allen-led Bills need someone different in charge if they're going to take another run at this thing. Holy crap are they ever.

Warren Sharp’s diagnosis of what ails the Bills is undeniable. And this guy comes with *facts* too. I especially love his use of the Maya Angelou (sp?) quote. https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-ken-dorsey/

His love for Davis is straight up irrational. Well, check that. There is a rational basis for it. But the criteria for that basis are effing stupid.

Absolutely. He appears rudderless - just doing the things.

Absolutely

This take makes so much sense to me. Sent this to a friend, and I think it’s relevant. The thing with Josh is not the system. It’s keeping the risk/reward barometer stable in his head with the right concepts. Daboll had a very good feel for when to turn it loose, and when to tamp it down. Dorsey treated him like Andy Dalton. Josh will never be a third-level reader like Mahomes or Burrow. He’s Professor Chaos (H/T @Nate_Tice). Your job is to amplify what he does do well. Bill Walsh or Sid Gillman would be wasted on him. In addition to which, though: The system (schemes) also suck(s) right now.

Thanks. I'm not even sure what I'm looking at when I see that site. I need someone to break it down in paragraph format for me. I generally think of "Cap Hell" as being saddled with Dead Money?

Warranted and necessary. And not enough.

Has anyone posted the Orlovsky tweet/video where he picks apart Dorsey's call on that 4th down where Allen jus sort of floated the ball to no one? I can't find it at the moment, but Orlovsky just savages the Bills for anemic, unimaginative, blockheaded play calling at an absolutely crucial juncture. I mean, he doesn't just rip them -- he explains in some detail why it was such a brutal play call.

Did he answer for that? Or was it just some mush mouthed BS about "just tryin' to be aggressive there and win the game ..."

Is there an overview of the team's salary cap situation(s) somewhere? I'm not going to dig into it myself. But if memory serves, there's no moving on from Diggs or Miller for a while - at least through next season (2024-2025).

Let's Go, Buffalo. Please.

This is true. These are end times for his regime. Please, Terry, we beg you: Give another regime a shot to build around Allen. Ben Johnson is a fashionable name at the moment. Why not? (This would also require the hiring of a new GM, I presume.)

Lindy didn't want to give up "flesh eating bacteria" as an injury to target?

This is starting to sound like a dreaded sports hernia that they are trying to manage non-surgically but won't be right until he has surgery.

I won't get on board with the Texans surpassing the Bills just yet, but, man, does it ever SUCK to have another apparently excellent QB in the AFC. Enough already! Guys like Justin Fields and Bryce Young went to the NFC, naturally.

I respect commitment to a bit.

Imo, Peterka is built for playoff hockey. His goal last night was scored in the dirtiest of spots.
