on average 4 teams or more miss the playoffs the following year

team was 24-24 last 3 years with bad coaching and a star wr that missed a lot of games the last 2 years


ryan wrecked that d

if it plays average last year, they made the playoffs last season



the bills are not as bad as people think, it's the patriots and 20 years of not winning a playoff game that makes many think the bills are worse then they really are

They're worse be ready

Zero chance the Cowboys trade for McCoy. Elliot most likely won't serve his suspension this year, and they have MacFadden and Morris behind Elliot.

It was a serious question?

Matthews is comparable, so why is he making so much less on his next deal?

I'm fine with the strategy, I understand it. But I'm tired of selling low on every guy we have in this city.

What did Marshawn Lynch do in Buffalo before he was moved?

So just to be clear, If I am being hypocritical on Watkins because of Kane, shouldn't all of you have wanted Kane gone because he can't stay healthy?

Missing 10 games a year because he plays a hard game is worlds away from missing half the season, and has the rep as a lazy player when he's not in the play.

I mean...it's true though. Jets suck. Dolphins suck...Pats are the best there is. I just don't see a lot of point in saying we're 2nd best in this division. Unless we can beat the Pats, we're a wild card team, so our standing in the division is superfluous isn't it?

I think the ravens, chiefs and broncos are over rated and the colts are the worse team in their division

I don't know why anybody even tries to reason with him on a logical basis when he has come right out and admiited his dislike for Kane is based on disappointment over Myers, and now today he says he doesn't think the trade is unfair he was just excited to see Sammy. It's obviously not based on rational evaluation, he admits as much himself.

in a single fancy stat presented there, yes. There a lot of pieces to the whole picture. That would be my argument for him. That usage, role and coaching have produced a worst case scenario for him.

They asked an offensive d-man to play like a defensive specialist. No reason why he cant produce 5v5 as well in the right role

- Sabresfan-365



And as far as his area of responsibility he has been successful at it. He's only one guy out there. That's why I'm not a huge fan of corsi as an individual stat. When you look at the heat map it's obvious that shots don't get by him, but rather on the other side.

2 things:

He is a Sabre

He eats Kale

- LandlordTom



He probably does. I saw him at Wegmans a couple years ago and he only had fruit and some greens in his cart. He probably had $80 worth all together.

I think it's hilarious that the Rams now have our top 2 WRs from last year.

*17* games per year.

Watkins has played 16, 13, and 8 games

Kane plays in 79% of his games
Watkins 77%

Trades happen, but trades that make your team worse after most of the tickets have been sold is dishonest IMO. This is why people don't trust Brandon, and Pegula to a lesser extent. No one can convince me this trade makes us better this year, and people were under the impression that playoffs were still a goal this year

That's obviously not true now

- jcragcrumple


If Rex and Whaley were still here I would be with you, but it's a new regime and they're just now able to see what they have in training camp and in a semi-real game situation.
