Do you?
It seems like anything less than a line brawl wasn’t gonna be enough to satisfy some

Don't need a line brawl.. Just have someone square off against Zad's.

Who do you think Eichel is tightest with? The best players on the team.

Who would have a bone to pick with him? The guys that will be left in the dust because the team sucks.

I watched Homie begin the ROR gaslighting campaign and escalate it. He will turn on Eichel very shortly. This is how it starts

I think you’re assuming way too much
You can be in the same age group as someone and have that person rub you the wrong way

Eichel, Skinner and Sam are clearly tight. Even the people who think the Sabres didn't do enough to protect him should acknowledge that Skinner took a roughing penalty in the fracas, and Sam was going bananas. Mitts is clearly cut from the same cloth as Eichel personality wise.

So who would have a problem with him? Guys who aren't going to be here long-term

He didn’t say who was & who wasn’t
And he stopped short of saying there was a split in the locker room or anything like that

Just that some think Jack is a d!ck

- jdfitz77


Doesn’t surprise me. He has a nonchalant attitude. Reinhart gives off a sarcastic wiener vibe as well. Skinner also seems like a POS when we always see him losing his mind on the ice. It comes with the territory. Anyone that good at their craft and makes that much money is bound to be an a**hole of some proportion.

We need to add toughness forsure. We just need to make sure we surround our young core with guys who can also play hockey.

Are you good friends with everyone you work with in your age group?
Or are there some who rub you the wrong way?

These assumptions you’re making might be correct, but u don’t really have any facts backing it up

Jack, Sam, ROR & Bogo went to the Dropkick Murphy’s concert together
Skinner is RORs age

There could easily be some younger guys that don’t like Jack’s attitude

I don’t KNOW either way
Just saying you’re seemingly taking things as fact without anything to really back it up

So what do Bills fans think of their free agency signings ? I think Brown and Beasley are good secondary options but they lack a true #1. The OL additions are much needed and I think the TE Kraft is good value as essentially they can get out of the contract after year 1. Overall a good couple of days. I’d stay away from Ansah though he’s always hurt and being 30 years old it will be down hill from here.

- homiedclown


I’d be down to get Bell
He’s a hell of a player
And i don’t think he has an attitude like Antonio Brown
I think he’s just been looking out for his future, which is fair imo
Especially for a RB who gets as many touches as he does
Their careers tend to not last as long

I think he’d be a perfect fit in Buffalo imo. However I wouldn’t say he has a great character as at the end of the day he skipped a season in which he could of made $13.5M

From what i have heard- Eichel has been known to be a total D!ck. Eichel, Sam, Bogo and Mccabe are boys. It would not shock me if many on the team dont jive with Jack or feel he doesnt deserve captaincy

I will say this for the last time

there was a division in the locker room

vet's leaned toward ror

kids leaned toward eichel

eichel tuned ror out


why do you think ror didn't have the heart anymore?

ever work with a bunch of kids that show co-workers no respect?

that was your sabre locker room last season


it's a cap era, and someone had to go

botts gave Jack the key to the city, and he still has to earn some respect in the locker room


nothing more, nothing less

- homiedclown


Like I said, I lived through the ROR flame wars on HB. I saw how you played it. You've already dipped your toe in the water on the Eichel hate for a while, and you'll start escalating it through the off-season.

"Nothing more, and nothing less" is the begining of the gas lighting, along with emojis, then you'll escalate to the personal attacks.

That’s fair
Ego & confidence are related
So it’s not that it’s necessarily detrimental
But it could be a concern long term if these guys can’t iron out the issues

It might not even be all that serious
Just figured u guys would be interested in what i heard
And Homie has obviously heard the same

you are forgetting the db

IMO they are much better now then a month ago
the additions are much better then the subtractions


if they don't get bell, and still odds are they won't they need to fix the rb long term but.................

they are now almost finally in position to draft the best player instead of drafting to fill needs


2 or 3 more decent pick ups and the offseason is an A IMO

I’d be ok with Ansah on a “prove it” type 1 year deal

Hate that we overpaid an average TE
Would’ve liked to see that $$$ used better

Not a fan of the Gore move,
but he’s cheap & for 1 year- so it’s fine

Like the rest of the moves
Especially getting a good center to anchor our O-line

I’d be more than ok with Bell too
We should be building our team like Pitt did in Big Ben’s youth

Win with defense & the running game,
until Allen develops into a QB who can win games throwing over 30xs a game
That didn’t happen with Big Ben till YEAR SIX

We don’t need to rush Allen if we can build a team around him

- jcragcrumple

Where?


aside from jokingly calling him clank when he hit 9 or 10 goal posts in a 3 game stretch



where have I shown ANY hate on Jack

I don't get on my knees for him and name him king over mcdavid or matthews, but that is my opinion that those 2 are better then him

I have never shown any hate toward him


I have said he could skate back harder, which is what I expect a young captain to do to earn respect of his team mates



but I have never said bad things about the hockey player named eichel


do you think it's wrong to ask them to do a little more?

hardly classify that as HATE

There are like 4 true #1 wideouts in the league

Brown, Jones, Hopkins, OBJ

Spread the ball around (the Patriot way)

I think they did well so far, a lot of those contracts are pretty team friendly as well

They still need to add some depth and I would like to see another OT added

But all in all I think they did a great job.

Let's see how they draft and also don't forget round 2 of free agency when there are cap casualties coming out of training camp.

This team is building around Allen. It is the first time in a while I have seen a team actually get built around a QB at one bills drive.

This is Allen's team. It's now all on him. I think he is ready for the pressure that comes with that, whether he succeeds or not is another story.

Don't need a True #1WR, I would rather have 4 #2's. take one out of the game and you still have 3 other guys to throw too. Personally I would like to see them sign one more Tackle.. need either a pass rusher or a DT, or even an OLB.

in the draft TE, WR, DT, OLB, CB, RB, OG, (2) T, DE. order depends on best available at that time.
