Good stuff zigs 😀

If you think that's full rage, you should probably take a pass in this one.

mccabe didn't do hutton any favors but that's different

Absolutely not. Him falling over and absolutely missing his check was the primary problem.

Mark Stone with a turnover on the PP, doesn't skate his balls off on the backcheck...SH by Pitlik.

Stone must suck. Has as to be.

- IonSabres


Should put him on the 4th line to find his synergy. That will show him

The NFL gifted it to them because of Katrina (e4)

Did the Colts conspire when they were fooled by the onside kick after halftime?

What I liked most is that Buf put two consecutive solid efforts against what are presumed playoff teams in back to back games. Yes only one dub, but if they play like the did game two against the caps or like tonight, this team will be a force. Time for the real Buffalo Sabres to please stand up

I would definitely say the Sabres played 2 good games in a row.

I hope we keep it up.

I wish the best for his family member. But that would certainly force KruDams to make a move. Wouldn’t it?

Interesting tidbit from the athletic: the last 4 remaining QBs left (mahomes, Brady, Rodgers and Allen) all rank in the top 5 in PFF, top 7 in QBR and top 4 on DVOA. Apparently this QB position does have something to do with deep postseason runs? Who would have guessed that. Last weekends RBs for winning teams included Singletary, an afterthought, fournette, who nobody wanted, some guy name Williams for KC and a mix of backs for GB.

I watched both Kreuger and Huttons post game conferences and they both alluded to a personal matter that Ullmark is going to sleep on and that they’ll let him talk about when he’s ready.

The rest is speculation on my part

"Horrible news" for Ullmark, per Hutton. Yikes.

Buccaneers rushed 30 times for 125, defence caused four turnovers. Brady completed 54% of his passes and finished with a QBR of 91. That is Average/competent QB play, strong ground game, and big time defence.

Packers rushed 32 times for 191.

Chiefs ran 24 times for 123. I count the Mecole Hardman jet sweep that went for 40 as well because it was a run despite Mahomes simply dropping the ball in mid air instead of firmly placing it in his arms. So make that 25 rushes for 163.

Last year the 2nd and 3rd ranked rushing attacks played on championship Sunday with one of them (49ers) advancing to the Super Bowl.

But you’re right Turbo, there is no Goff, Tannehill, Goroppolo, or any other non-elite QB this year in the final 4 so for the year 2020/2021 I was wrong.

The Bills are the only team though that disregards the running game completely though. It’s a bold strategy cotton we’ll see how it pays off

That’s definitely not good. Obviously we could speculate a million scenarios but I feel for the kid. Glad the team and Hutton played well so that can be the furthest thing from his mind.

QBR or rating? A QBR of 91 is spectacular. A QB rating of 91 is pretty meh.

It was a QB Rating of 92.9.

It was competent.

Hutton has gotten hot over the past 2 years.
4 -3 Buffalo

Erod has looked good 🙂
There's some optimism

- Boss34


👏👏👏
The problem with Hutton isn’t that he sucks....
It’s that he’s incredibly inconsistent- u just never know what you’re gonna get
And when he’s bad, he’s so brutal that the team has no chance at all to win

He had one of his good games tonight though
And the Sabres played well in front of him

Hutton does suck. It just happened to be the Sabres team in front of him played out of their butts good.

I don’t even think Hutton faced a high danger shot tonight
