Anybody fired after the Calgary debacle? Why not?

[HILLsabre]

So, of course not!!!                                 It seems to be a popular sentiment that either 1. Terry doesn't care and is all wrapped up with the Bills and their success OR 2. He is too involved with the Sabres front office and basically pulling a Jerry Jones controlling everything because of his massive ego!  BUT, could it be .......................... That nothing is presently happening because IF management does something dramatic it will confirm "the plan' has failed and this franchise is now in total disarray and people in charge don't know what they're doing. Hence signaling to the NHL there needs to be intervention. Could debilitating fear be paralyzing progress?  I just can't get the memory of Terry tearing up years ago at his introduction press conference with some of those past Sabre HOFamers sitting in the front row. And now not caring about this franchise, it doesn't make sense. Thoughts? Answers?

The Sabres lost this exact game a week ago and nothing changed. Why would last night be the impetus?

Exactly.

Plus, in between they saved their season in the 3rd period vs. Detroit and then had a dominant win against big bad McDavid & Draisaitl. They're safe from change until at least an eight-game losing streak.

All of the above bolded is true in my opinion.

There is no amount of 'finesse' that can fix this. No one or 2 moves.  No returning injured players. None of that is going to turn this team into a team that is dangerous in any way in the playoffs.

I have been patient with this management group and Adams.  I have thought their defense is young and d-men take longer to develop than forwards so it may take a few years. 

I have thought they young guys (Dahlin, Thompson, Tuch) are now just 'in their prime' and they are ready to carry the team.

I thought that UPL had it in him to be the goaltender he was 2 years ago and last year was just a bad year.

I thought that the young guys in Rochester would progress slightly faster than they have.

All of those things COULD have been true, but they don't look like they are.  I had patience through 3-4 years of this front office, I was losing patience last year..but in year 6, its just too long.  

Changes should have been made 1-2 years ago and they weren't. I was OK with waiting a bit longer but if even "I" have waited this long and nothing has changed, well, something does need to be done now.  Its long enough (even for me, one of the more patient people on this forum)

Clean out the entire front office NOW, so anyone new coming in can have their (hopefully) accelerated evaluation period and then they can start making roster change.  If you wait until the offseason to make changes, then the new Front office will have the excuse they need 1 more year to 'evaluate' the team, then changes might not be made quickly, and we are just putting up with the same thing for longer.

Why not? Simple… Terry doesn’t give 💩💩 about the Sabres. He hasn’t cared since he bought the Bills.

No front office changes will be made until the season is over.  By then the Bills will be done and Terry can unveil his next new plan. 

If the team completely quits on their coach then Ruff could go, and Appert can get his look.  

Adams fate will be decided after the season.

It’s not like it will matter if Adams gets fired either way. Terry is just going to hire a budget GM.

They didn't lose to the worst team in the league, that like many other teams over the past decade, are going through a rebuild and still kick our butts and doing it with attitude!

They cut Geertsen, what more do you want.

Because the answers are in the room.  Duh!
