Allen is the Top QB on a majority of NFL teams boards. Skill set off the charts, strongest arm in draft, build to take the pounding of NFL defenses (sit a year under Tyrod). He just might go to Browns at 1......

Thanks for the response Irish

Hope he does go if the Bills don’t get Brownies 1st in a trade.

He has all the tangible traits, except the most important...Accuracy.
He will be EJ again, able to fire the ball into a sideline tent 15 yards out of bounds on a sideline route in training camp?
He is the most inaccurate of all of them.

I wouldn’t go anywhere near him if I were a GM, but I would be making it seem I’m drooling over him.

Easy to say that (EJ comparison), but he could also be Ben Roethlisberger!

If the rumored ask by Browns #1 is true, being the Bills 12, 22, 2019 1st and 2020 1st...
Then I would do it conditional on getting the Borownies 2019 & 2020 2nd back.
Using JimmyJohns Value Chart that results in an over payment of about 23% when the future pick values are discounted to present value by taking the associated value for 1 round later in current draft ... i.e 2019 1st is discounted to 1st pick in 2nd round of 2018 (which is probably still high, but need to start somewhere), computed as follows:

2018 12th = 1,200
2018 22nd = 780
2019 1st = 1,500
2020 1st = 750
—————
PV 4,230

Less
2019 2nd 290. From Browns back
2020 2nd. 145. From Browns back
—————
435

Net current value = 3,795

Is that being reported somewhere? I don't doubt you - just haven't seen it.

If that is the case I bet it is a take-it-or-leave-it offer. They don't want to move and the Giants don't want to move - we would have to bowl them over. None of these guys can be 3 first rounders better than Jackson or Rudolph.

What is really interesting is that in this last bad stretch we have outshot our opponents pretty badly. I don't know that it means much - it just usually does not go that way.

I was speaking more generally. I am eagerly looking forward to this season being over so the overhaul can start.

Also...send Ullmark back to Rochester...wtf is the point of having him up here to consistently get 0 support.

"At the start we were doing things well. Then obviously, tonight's problem came to the forefront. Our defense as a team did us in and suddenly it got out of hand."





team scored 2 goals in 240 minutes and blames the D

I have noticed a trend since the briere/drury days


this team seems to just fire shots at the net more than targeting a spot where the net is open


how many times have we seen a backup goalie stop 35 to 40 shots and really have an easy night?

I love Ullmark already, he said this after the habs game


On the rest of the team's offensive woes: "My job is to stop pucks and stop pucks only. That won't change my mentality, I'm going to keep trying to do my job best I can for 60, or 65 minutes of play."

Anyone who thinks this team sucks this bad on purpose is in straight denial.

Looking at the schedule the rest of the way I give the Sabres a chance to win 2 games maximum the rest of the way. That would put them at 62 points. Vancouver and Arizona are at 61 now so they'd each just have to win one more game the rest of the year and that'll do it.

PS: They play each other one more time.

I can't stand when you hear announcers say "more pucks to the net" over and over and over again. When I watch highlights from other games I see players scoring goals that result from skill rather than prayers from the point.
