Great. I’ve just joined Club Fitz. It’s the place where cogent, perhaps opinionated, but verifiable arguments go to die in a sea of utter nonsense. My bad.

Also, severely rich and dripping with irony, that FITZ would call me out for discussing anything but hockey on this board. The insufferability abounds.

Hope so, nothing worse than being stuck in that ramp on an OT/SO game

And again... why does anyone care about this one way or the other?
They weren’t trying to be political when they agreed to serve out there as requested
They weren’t taking sides with their apology either

This whole thing is a non-issue
And ppl are trying to make this some kind of political thing when it’s really just a couple guys trying to sell tacos

And it surely doesn’t need to be brought to a Hockey Message Board

i was quoting when you said Sabres in 60

The Lloyds thing I honestly couldn't care less about.
Personally people are all up in arms about them but yet will continue to vote people into office who do the same thing on a grander scale. But thats a differnt topic for a different time.

Not making excuses for Edmund's, but your DT are supposed to take up blockers so your LB's can hit the hole, not getting driven 3 yards of the ball. You can't get to the hole when there's bodies in the way. Now I agree that Edmund's needs to read play's better.

Probably.

I said this earlier, though. Brandon Beane is one of the league's more active GM's on the trade market. He went out and got Kelvin Benjamin two years ago when it was clear playoffs were a possibility. I am betting we will see some sort of move, even if it is just for depth.

Pass rusher
Run stuffing DT
#2 corner
LB depth

Those are what we could use on defense imo
But we can’t really fill all those

Oh without a doubt. This team needs to upgrade at DT, WR, OL, and possibly linebacker. I expect them to get a player at only one of those positions. After yesterday, my #1 hope is at DT by far.

This right here is why I dislike the 19/55 “top pair”.

It’s a small sample from this year but they were both bad at it last year when tracked.

They aren’t making the boneheaded plays Dahlin has, or taking bad penalties, but being bad at getting out of the zone and transitioning to offense is why the puck ends up in the net more against them then the other guys

DT should be the #1 priority. If they don't sew that up, teams will continue to run on them because they know they can, passing league or not. Wentz only threw for 172 yards yesterday. They're more than adequate against the pass. They still have one of the best secondaries in the league, probably best or 2nd best in the AFC.

It didn’t personally. I merely asked a question for verification. They do come to Larkin where my office is every Wednesday. Half the floor went out there religiously, in uniform. No longer.

How much of an issue was DT the first 6 games though?

We haven’t done a great job rushing the passer all year

Also... we could conceivably do both
We just can’t improve all the positions that need it now

And even though it seems likely we will make the playoffs,
We are NOT Super Bowl contenders
So any moves we are making should be in mind that we are still building to get on the level of the “elite” teams
