One Buffalo motto. Where Sabres and Bills lose on same nite.

 

It should be a one-score game at the half.

 

1. Bills line up for a 54 yard field goal with :03 left.

2. Seahawks player goes blatantly offsides AND creams Carpenter, even after whistles blown.

3. Seahawks get 5-yard offside penalty, but NO personal foul for unnecessary roughness/running into the kicker/whatever.

4. Because Carpenter was "injured" (shaken up) on the play and the Bills have no time outs, he is required to sit out for a play.

5. Bills do a quick snap and spike the ball with :01 on the clock.

6. The officials set the ball but DO NOT reset the play clock, which runs out as official backs away.

7. Carpenter kicks a perfect 49-yard field goal.

8. Officials call delay of game, move ball back 5 yards.

9. Bills have to re-kick.

10. Carpenter knuckle-balls it from 54 yards, wide right.

 

This only happens to Buffalo teams, I swear.  :death:

The game was embarassing. We didn't step up and match the physical play from the big bad Bruins. We also have zero offense. None.

 

One of the major problem is that the defense isn't helping the offense. They have no goals and only 14 assists. Of those assists 8 belong to Risto. McCabe has 3, Franson 3, and Bogo, Nelson, Kulikov (who sucked tonight) and Gorges have NOTHING. NOTHING!

 

In addition, 2 of the 4 lines are really producing nothing of note. Grant, Fasching, Deslauriers also have zero pts. Baptiste has 1 goal and Ennis only 2 pts.

 

It's time for GMTM to do something to shake up this lineup.

TM isn't going to do anything. He can't in a salary cap world. No one will take Moulson, Ennis or Franson. And they certainly wouldn't return a much better player. This is on DD. He needs to move Moulson down to the 4 th line, Move Samson up. One of the kids needs to replace Ennis. And hope we get a useful Kane back and eventually Jack. I said that a lot of things had to go right for this team to make the playoffs and so far few things have.

Young boys need to learn to play with big boys, Marchand is playing better than I have ever seen him. Sam needs to get tougher, Gio slow at beginning of season, Carrier, Baptiste, Bailey and Fasching have a lot of growing up to do before Sabres are going anywhere. Sabres need more skill up front. Their speed guys have either no skill or no size and the skill guys dont have enough spped except ROR, OKposo and Eichel. Lot of puzzle pieces not fitting together, is this again GMTM or DD, or a combo of both?

Without Jack, they're basically a .500-ish team.  It's that simple.  If they play a solid, flawless game, they win.  However, you can't expect any team, especially one with as many young and improvised pieces as this one, to play flawlessly every game.  I was disappointed they lost, but over the course of a season.... meh.  Just hang in there until jack returns.
