I believe you have to schedule a minimum of 6 games for preseason. Im surprised they made them follow that rule with not having the minimum "vet" requirement.

Would you rather they show up a coupe nights prior and be jet lagged?

- DirtyDan


Speaking only for me, the jet lag hits much harder upon return, not so much while over in Europe.

Takes me a week to fully recover after returning... Only a day or two at most when arriving there.

current season projection, based on 3 games

79 catches
952 yards
11 td

that would be a hell of a season

- homiedclown


That would have won the bet we didn’t make

Got Shakir in both leagues, ones a keeper in the 9th which was a reach in a Buffalo draft……

Isn't there something between 10 days early and that? The Devils don't play an exhibition, so I assume they are playing more preseason games before going over.

Do you think this schedule is fair to the Sabres?

- Lunaion


They play a game against the Munich team of the DEL league on Friday. So seems like the appropriate time to go.

Im not sure when the Devils fly over but I do think this schedule favours our squad having the little bit of extra time over there.

Devils have a preseason game tonight, tomorrow and then Friday. As well as 3 more next week. But I expect them to fly out Friday after that game.

Good call. He's a tough SOB. Took some shots last night.
- Lunaion


Shakir took some huge hits, popped back up.

I was at the game, the only thing holding him back is the constant rotation.

Bills send in a couple different packages per drive

The low hit he took on the TD scared me. That could have been bad.

That's the part I'm objecting too. Play that next Tuesday and it doesn't ruin half their camp.

Lindy Ruff confirms Jiri Kulich, Lukas Rousek, Kale Clague and James Reimer are the extras joining the Sabres on their trip to Europe.

Rousek has lived in Prague for most of his life, and Kulich spends his summer there. Two Czech guys returning home as part of an NHL team.

Yeah, took another shot to the Legs after that. I think his success will depend on what the Defense plays. Seems Brady is setting his Offense a bit differently package wise every Week. Like it because the Bills have the Personal to do it.

I would assume they'll keep working over their. Probably wouldnt have been many top guys playing the next 2 away games anyways.

I prefer the whole team(or 90% of them) playing in games together instead of a few here and there.

Really like the way Brady has schemed his Offense different every Week. Bills have the players to do it. Makes it hard on Defense's to set up there game plan to stop them.

Still have some concerns and I think defenses will start to adjust. CB1's vs Mack Hollins is kind of laughable.

Last night was fun, especially knowing Allen is playing 1 handed.

I am sure they will somewhat, a little different when a team schemes 15 or 20 plays to start a game to a team that comes out totally different then the prior Week. Watching game tape is a lot tougher.

bills outscored the opponents 105 to 31 over the last 10 quarters and that includes a kickoff return for a TD against them

Let's see how the wr's respond when they need to

Possible there's just a fundamental problem of matching up their top 2 DB's against our least productive 2 WR's. I'd think teams would start packing the box and daring us to beat them deep, but that's not the defensive trend of the league atm. Maybe it isn't an easy adjustment.

Agree, Just have to see how it plays out.

It's been great fun, after the terrifying first half of the first game.

Yeah, there's gonna be tough situations, nice to have 3 RB's that seem multi dimensional and 2 TE'S that can be Dangerous. Bills are using the whole package differently every week.

Dudes,

It's a great day to be alive, it's a great day to be a Buffalo Sports Fan. Just saw the score of the 2nd preseason game. Holy S, hopefully this carries into the season. Bills are playing at peak performance. McD is on Belichick's level for getting the most out of his players. It's really something. We're lucky to have him as the coach.

That's interesting, it's the complete opposite for me. Took 2 days once I got there, and had zero re-adjustment when I got home
