Haven't seen one yet ill keep my eye out but the only one I don't remember being completed was the deep ball to Watkins but I know I missed some of the game

Rodgers too.

And then there's the flip side. Todd Collins spent more than enough time behind Jim Kelly to take the reins by that standard. He was a disaster.

I don't buy that starting from day 1 can turn a good QB into a bust.

It's like the Grigorenko situation, If he's gonna be a good player, it's gonna happen regardless of what happened here at 18 years old when he wasn't ready. At worst it slows his development

Buying a console for a sports game is risky, although it was worth it last time. Waiting till February to get mine, Arkham Knight looks incredible.

I had no reason to believe they would blow it. In fact the reason I waited this long is I was waiting for the kinks to be worked out. I remember both ps3 and xbox 360 had a lot of issues when they came out. PS4 came out last year.

After they brought NHL 14 for only ps3/360 they fed everyone a bs sandwich about how it was because they've been working so hard for the next gen game. They've had more than enough time to put out a relatively good product and poop the bed.

The hockey department has always been the female dog corner of EA so I wasn't expecting an incredible overhaul but we were due for some changes/improvements. Instead we got a beta version of NHL 14.

Diaz declines offer to join Red Wings in camp but goes to the Flames instead, seems folks don't want to play in Detroit anymore.

Probably figures he has a better chance making the Flames roster. In a case like this, they have to go where they feel they have the best chance to stick beyond camp.

I think it has more to do with him having a better shot at making the Flames squad than the Red Wings.

He's a right handed shot I think and that's what they were looking for I thought ?

Comes off as a very demanding coach so it's not a surprise but that it is part of what makes him a great coach.

I'm not really sure about that. Just throwing a theory of why he may have chosen the Flames over the Wings.

I'm sure that there's a lot of different reasons why guys do what they do. There could be someone in Calgary that he's close with as well so that's why he went there. Who knows.

But the city of Detroit certainly leaves a lot to be desired and their facilities aren't so great these days in comparison to many others in the NHL.

For those who play the NHL video game franchise I heard some really bad things about NHL15. Very disappointing. Anyone else hear anything?

I think so. But that doesn't help them right now. It'll be a few years before it's done.

And it still doesn't help the fact that the city itself isn't really all that attractive. It's the same reasons why guys don't pick to come here. And I'd like to think Buffalo is at least a tad bit better off than Detroit is.

Flutie won a lot of games like EJ did yesterday though, made a play here and there, capitalized off of turnovers and had a great rushing attack. No I'm not saying we will make the post season yet but I don't mind winning games like we did yesterday. Eventually I'll want better (IF EJ doesn't continue to improve )
- sbroads24


Flutie made exciting plays. He made the game fun.

If EJ makes plays like he did yesterday, the hate will subside. How many times have we, as Bills fans, Just wanted the QB to make good decisions and be a playmaker. EJ did that yesterday, even if it was on the conservative side. Lots of good plays yesterday on Defense and Offense. Something Buffalo isn't used to.
