I miss arguing over Briere and Drury and which one to keep.

Why keep two when you can overpay a different one

I said Briere
Should’ve kept both though

Jesus Christ there was a lot to hate about that game today.
Okposo is total dead weight.
The defense needs to be realigned.
The pp is abhorrent, I’m done with risto and okposo.....really wtf!
Phil Housley is not an nhl hockey coach.
It’s pretty embarrassing.

Should have just let Vanek walk for the four firsts.

I said this last year, at 10 million a year you better be producing like a top 5-10 player in this league..... Not sure he is (god I hope Im wrong), and that pressure will start to build on management as well as him.

Yes and yes and yes.
I have always liked jack, I never liked his contract.

That would’ve been super ballsy
I was on the fence about it

Just lost our 2 Captains
Losing him also would’ve been brutal

Regime couldn’t possibly have handled the situations over that year worse

Letting go players we should’ve kept,
Paying those we could’ve traded,
Watching the Captains both walk...
It was a giant clusterf#ck

10mil is an “overpayment”
But that’s what we had to do to keep him

yep would be way ahead of this mess, again management panicked... I dream of a world where we actually have people in charge that know what the hell they are doing...

I thought last year we might actually have a plan and a coach on the bills side... then they totally f-ed up the QB position, WR position, and o-line. It really is unbelievable that they thought we would be fine with a 1st year QB and a rookie)

these dipsticks have no clue on either team.... until they do we are what we are.

I believe darcy’s quote after briere and drury left went something like “we are not going to pay players more than they’re worth for longer than we need to” or thereabouts. He then went on to match vaneks offer sheet and basically did exactly what he said he wasn’t going to do. That either took balls, a wussy or plain stupidity.

I do not believe that.

You’re damn right they panicked!
At least Russ Brandon is gone?

Barnaby a nobody ? we need a Barnaby on this team, maybe 2 or 3

Yes...he had passion for the game

that was a start... that putz was an open wound on the bills for way too long. I've seen his act first hand. (Ex worked for them for 10+ years)

He was on my (frank)off list from the beginning. Now that he has (frank)edoff I have found plenty more slugs to replace his spot on said list.

yeah there are way to many good-ol-boys at one bills drive...

He's not top 10 and never will be... Yes he's overpaid...I just hope he can be counted on to average 35 goals a year over his career

I do not believe that.
- TheHank

U don’t believe it’s an overpayment?
Or u think we could’ve gotten him cheaper?

ehhh think its too early to say he never will, the talent is there. but unless we get him some help he never will be a consistent top 10 scorer. As much as 1 player can carry teams for stretches, it's still a team game.

It still doesn't seem like they have right linemates for him.

Queue up the mountain of posters in the Defend Jack at All Costs Club.

I said last year that To whom much is given, much is expected.
It took all of six (6) games to start the drum beat.
I'm not joing the band at this point, but isn't generational talent expected to lift the play of others.
Are Skinner, Sherry, Rhino and Okposo all dead weight?
What exactly is the profile of these "better players" Jack apparently needs to achieve Elite level play if not any of the above?

Asking for myself, and my dog.
