Hate to be that guy (no I don't), but I wish we could have won the division at least one time during Brady's tenure in New England. Not having done that makes this AFC East title seems empty - or tainted - to me. The fact that an AFC title took SO long only highlights out how inept our GM's have been up until Beane. I should be happy now, but all I can think about is how we couldn't beat the Brady-lead Patriots all these years, due to poor GM decisions.

And on that cheerful note, enjoy your day !

Miami over the pats for sure
1- f the pats, always
2- MIA & BAL are fighting for the last playoff spot,
and I’d much rather see the dolphins in than the ravens (in case we have to face 1 of them)

The way they're playing right now, Bills should not fear any team. (Yes, I'm fully aware of KC, GB and NO.)

Didn’t say i “fear” the Ravens
I said I’d much rather play Miami (with Tua, as opposed to Lamar who can go off)

It was surprising how much Denver threw the ball in the first half when the game was not out of hand.
- kingcong39


By the looks of it, Lock’s performance against Carolina last week was a blind squirrel finding a nut.

Perhaps I’m not patient enough, I just don’t see him as a starter in the NFL.

Jerry Jeudy was the 15th overall pick for a reason.

Noah Fant is a pretty good TE and has pro bowl potential if not All-Pro Potential.

KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick are adequate starters.

Unfortunately Courtland Sutton tore his ACL but he was a Pro Bowler last year.

It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to distribute the ball to those weapons.

All that, and I’m actually interested in football again for the first time in 20 years.
Let’s go Buffalo! They are fun to watch right now. 17 is the real deal.
He was the perfect pick for Buffalo 🦬.

I sucked at fantasy football this year

I guess that’s what I get for picking first in my two big leagues and getting nothing from CMC all year

22 posts to defend her honor.

Aside from being a potential slaughterhouse the east division could be fun for us

Natural rivalry with boston, a good chance to reignite a long history with philly and develop a cross state rivalry with the rangers/islanders/kinda devils

Not much to do with the pens or washington but 8 games in a short time is good enough to get any teams going

Jeudy was not impressive last night from what I saw. Not that Denver was going to win, but he dropped a very easy catch to make. Literally went through his hands, and it was a quality throw by Lock.

Lock made some nice throws last night, especially in the first half, but his defense had no answers for the Bills and the pressure was on early to score and score often.

Agreed. I am having a difficult time finding 4 teams I think the Sabres are better than.

Aside from the Devils, and even that is no guarantee, what other teams are worse than the Sabres?

He also threw about three should have been interceptions

He’s really bad

Going to be tough but theres still some time and movement to be made in the league. I want them to go after a goalie minimum but if not, ullmark needs to have a big season

Historically we play boston tough, the rangers are a wild card, washington is getting older as well as a big question mark in net. Penguins also have a question in net, lack of depth and age is a factor for them too

If we cant take care of the devils the above doesnt matter

Well they did use the 20th overall pick of the draft on him so he didn’t come cheap.

It looked like he made a business decision on that one hospital pass Lock tried to throw into triple coverage. He brought his arms in once he saw Poyer coming to obliterate him

Merry Christmas to all.🎅🏻

This is going to be a fun ride I believe.

I was making a power play unit and I thought of;
Hall
Eichel
Sam in front of the net
Olofsson
Dahlin on one point and I forgot that we acquired Stall too.

I certainly don't know who's going where or what but, this season feels mighty intriguing right now.

Be safe every one and have a great Christmas.

Sabres hockey is back.
I survived 2 heart surgeries and I am here to enjoy another Christmas with my family and Sabres hockey.

God bless you all.
