Sabres have 15 points in their last 10 games which only trails STL, Pitt, and Dallas for most points in their last 10 games.

Sabres have won 4 straight at home for the first time since closing out the remainder of last season with 4 straight wins at home.

Derek Roy (1+4) leads the Sabres in points against the Habs this year.

Buffalo is 6-0-1 against the Habs.

INTERESTING FACTS:

Sabres are 26-3-2 when allowing 2 or fewer goals and 23-4-3 when scoring 3 or more goals.

14-5-3 When Corey Tropp is in the line-up

10-1-3 when Tyler Ennis records a point.

Sabres are 37-9-7 over Ennis's career when he scores a point.

I still like Sabres chances for 8th. They are trending well, as indicated by 15 points last 10, and WAS has some tough road games coming up. I wouldnt be surprised if Buffalo was in 8th 10 days from now.

Draft Melvin Ingram or Courtney Upshaw... Sign V - Jax and Cortland Finnegan!!

You fools can not possibly be having a Football convo without your neighborhood expert Fotes.... Shame on all of you!

Matt Flynn = Next Kevin Kobb IMO.


He definitely has some talent, but he also has had the support of a great team and coaches. So many times guys like that with a couple nice games under their belt on a great team go to a sucky team like Cleveland, expectations and pressure are much higher, but help is much less.
- Buffalo--Sabres

It's a possibility that Flynn turns out like Kolb has, but I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Kolb either.

Flynn's best bet is to go to Miami and reunite with his old coach. If Miami doesn't sign him then you know there is something wrong with him... Joe Philbin knows him better than anyone, and if he doesn't think he's worth it I'd be worried for him.

Cleveland and Seattle will have interest. But I still think Cleveland will end up taking Tannehill, probably at #4, just because I don't see him getting out of the top 10, somebody will move up for him.

if cleveland does that, they can look forward to another year or more of ineptitude

I'll preface this with 2 things:
1) I am a Bill's fan!
2) My son plays baseball with Matt Moore's brother, here in SoCal, and Matt is physically in gr8 shape!
!
Don't discount Matt Moore keeping the starting QB job in Miami. Having a new playbook will not help, but he is in great shape. Matt Flynn may have a leg up with the current new Coaches, though. Peyton will be a Cardinal! IMHO

... almost forgot:
Go Sabres!
Buffalo 4-1
Pommers - 2
Hodgson - 3 assists
Vanek - 1
Leopold - 1

Miller makes a pedestrian 25 saves!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the GMs are debating outlawing hand passes in the defensive zone, resulting in either a faceoff or a penalty. I'm not in favor of either option, but if it becomes a minor penalty, I will be furious.

Not saying he's in bad shape.. Plenty of QB's have been in great shape... It's the intangibles are what makes the QB's.

You put JP Losman, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Joe Montana in their primes in shorts and tell them to go throw and I bet JP looks the best. It's all about those intangibles and making the throws under pressure.

Tannehill shows over the top great intangibles... I also liked that he's played WR before. Really makes him understand things A little bit better.

He's sky rocketing up the boards. He's still semi raw, but again like I said with the intangibles, you can't teach those. It's that "it" factor, and I see it in him.

he also has small hands and has been rocketing up the board due to supply and demand...

if the browns don't snag an impact free agent wide receiver, they'll need to get one in the draft like blackmon...none of their receivers could get open last season and it doesn't matter who the qb is, it ain't gonna work

My phsical trainer is in great shape but he can't play QB in the NFL. Moore seems like a likeable guy, competes hard, just limited.

he's just a football fan with an opinion....an educated one, but that's all he is pretty much.

He'll still never go high as 4th though...

Like I said earlier today he had a couple good games but that will happen again when donkey's fly out of Madonna's butt.

I've just NEVER seen what the hype is about. He sweat's 'Kalinin' out of his pores.

Agreed. If I got paid to go to the combine and write up detailed reports I would shave your grandma's poodle !!

This is his one time of the year where he can come off looking like the 'smart guy in class that studies all the time'.

Edit: And that's a hatty bee-otches !!!!!!!!!

i dont think there is a lot of hype. He is what he is, a good skater, decent 5/6 guy.
