Per WGR this morning, supposedly, Sabres WILL go back to Royal Blue, remove the silver and drop the piping.

They were supposed to this season but didn't want to interfere with the Winter Classic jersey reveal/effect sales. Took another season to finalize the design.

Well, I see him as being a Trent Dilfer type of QB — I.e. we have a dominat D and a top 5 running game...don’t F this up on us kinda of guy...that ain’t the Bills though as they are transitioning on the the fly rather quickly.

The Clown made a great observation right after the trade for Benjamin...the Bills have one of the most balanced O’s in the league, however the QB is the wrong guy to take advantage of it...it is a high possession type O requiring a QB to deliver the ball quickly, accurately and in stride for maximum efficiency...all of that goes against TT, who is best on the scramble finding the open receiver in a busted play...a classic misfit.

I wish him nothing but the best as he seems to be a quality person with high character...would like to see him succeed.

They don't have a dominant defense. Dominant defenses don't give up 298 yards rushing to anybody, even elite teams.

They stated making Rochester competitive as a goal and so far they are achieving that. It would be the first accomplished goal for PSE.

Pippen also wasn't 22, in his third year in the league when he did those things either. I'm not saying Sam will ever turn into that, but let's have some (frank)ing patience, eh? Plenty of very good to great players have started slow.
- Wetbandit1


Pippen’s 3rd year in the league he was 24 and an All Star.

Just saying.

So, after 3 years starting in the NFL, projecting a 25% rate of qualifying as a playoff caliber QB is acceptable, or rather a fine QB?

I wholeheartedly disagree, that absolutely sucks. Furthermore, since we are projecting here, I would say that Tyrod has between 0 and no chance of leading this team to the playoffs.
He can’t pass accurately long, albeit that is his best passing skill, and he absolutely can’t hit a target over the middle in stride for additional YAC, which is critical...he often in off target and subjects his target to injury.

Time to move on. I don’t think Peterman is the answer, he seems like a Edwards clone...but what the hell, let’s see what we have in him to determine if the Bills need to draft multiple QBs or set their sights on one.

I absolutely loved everything being a Bologna sports fan these days

- IonSabres


Considering only 12 teams make the playoffs any given year and the Pats are lead pipe locks every year; which, for the Bills that leaves only a Wild Card. 25% isn't terribly bad especially since we're going on year 18 of no playoffs.

Why at 5-4 are they throwing in the towel I wonder? If they were 4-5, maybe I could see it. 5-2 the rest of the way is improbable, unlikely at best even, but no one else has exactly seized the Wild Cards for themselves either. The Bills are still very much in it, and how often can we say THAT in mid November?

Constantly. Not running when he has a clear opening is boneheaded.

Checks down constantly. Boneheaded.

Overthrows receivers. Boneheaded.

Leads receivers into hits. Boneheaded.

The guy is a literal bonehead. He wants to be a pocket passer... HE ISN'T and there's nothing wrong with that. The only person who refuses to play to Tyrod Taylor's strengths is himself.

- BeadyEyedDouche


Or the coaches telling him not to run.

But I'm sure it's just the toxic environment at PS&E.

Have we even seen the WC jerseys yet? How (frank)ing long are they going to wait? The game is in 6 weeks.

Now I am wondering if they are setting themselves up for going all in on Cousins as a FA this offseason. To me, he fits that possession, take some shots downfield approach I see the Bills building for.
I’d be very happy with that...saves our picks to fill areas of need like, DL, LB

Exactly, hence why he isn’t a fit here, among other aspects.
Don’t confuse what iSee in him as a typ3 of QB with the reality o& what th3 Bills are actually.
In other words, h3 is no Tren5 Dilfer on th3 Ravens team.

I think the Bills still have a GREAT chance to make it

Our competition for the last playoff spot is with the Raiders, Miami & Baltimore, all 4-5

If we finish 8-8, then for us to miss the playoffs...

Raiders must go 5-2
-there’s just no way that’s happening with their remaining schedule

Miami must go 4-3
-but would likely have to beat us twice to get the tiebreaker

Baltimore must go 4-3
-they might end up with the tie break over us
*they’re the biggest threat imo

But if we can finish 9-7,
then I think we are a lock for the playoffs

I don't see why then, you would start a QB who's best attribute is running. You don't tell a player to NOT do the thing he's best at and I think this is a load of bullocks.

They will be revealed after Thanksgiving.

NHL wanted to 'hype' the 100 years game or whatever its called, and thats in December on the 16th I think. Underwhelming jerseys for that game, IMO.

I have a bone to pick with McDermott i’m happy that Taylor’s not the QB anymore

but that was such a copout its your defense that let The Jets running back’s And Saints running to back’s run all over us you should take most of the heat imo

Because they truly know better than everyone else, whilst we surmise that the turnover ratio was unsustainable ... so when the gravy train stopped, it was time to change conductors

I applaud them for their realistic vision rather than the past 18 years of opiod-hallucinodenic dreams of the past

But to the point of all the Tyrod supporters...
he didn’t turn the ball over
Peterman is gonna throw INTs

I actually don’t think this is a good idea
Peterman was at ONLY 50% completions in preseason befor ethe last game (which we all know doesn’t really count bc most of the guys playing are getting cut)

And in his first 3 preseason games,
he was playing against backups & 3rd string guys who were running vanilla defenses

Maybe he’s looked amazing in practice...
otherwise, I just don’t get it

Very convincing argument

U think Miami or the Raiders or Baltimore will go 5-2 in their remaining games

I don’t

And we should win at least 3

Don’t take this aimed at you, as it is directed to the Sabres...
F the GD uniforms...they represent poop anyway given the collective performance over the past 47 years...(frank), change them to pink with pastel yellow with blue trim and they would be a better reflection of the team performance.

Focus on gettin* the right friggin, players, coaches, trainers, and scouts...then invest in friggin marketing bullpoop
