New England.

Patriots have a 21-game home winning streak.

Good luck with that one.

The Bills have won 4 games in New England in the last 20 years.

The fact he has 10 points in his last 5 games helps as well. 9 of those primary points which is even more impressive.

Eichel is leading with fists and fury

I'd like to see him paired with skins .

When's mojo coming back?

"I’m 20 games from 1,000, so I don’t think I’m retiring,” said the two-time Stanley Cup champion. “I have three years left on my contract. I want to be an LA King. I want to help change things around here, but I don’t have no-trade protection so whatever happens, happens.”

Then, just as we were about to move on, with a very serious facial expression and a near death stare back, Carter added, “And I never talked about retiring either. That never came out of my mouth.”

So keep in mind I live in the same geographic region as you, so I'm not just taking a potshot:

If you were at the end of your career, would you want to move from LA to Buffalo?

To anywhere in the Great Lakes region?

One big difference i've seen with Eichel is his shot from the right side. He was going high in previous years and he seems to nail it every-time he's given a look. It's like the Ovi one-timer, give him a look and he will make you pay

This is a valid point i've made several times. If your at the end of your career, a baby with a 4 team short list to waive your NTC, just a baby in general you are not playing in Buffalo, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa, Columbus......ect

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but who was going back the other way?


And no offense, Homie, but Carter doesn't have any kind of clause like that.

That's not true he said he retire

I'm firmly in the "I'll believe when I see it" camp, but Brady is pretty mediocre at this point in his career

Hopefully daboll isn't in the box for that game. He'll probably have issues with his electronics

Yes, mediocre

" he currently ranks 25th in yards per attempt (6.8), 20th in passer rating (90.1) and is tied for 17th in passing touchdowns (14) should tell you all that you need to know about Brady at this stage of his career."

Well, They will still win the superbowl and Manning had similar stats his last year. It's time for him to hang it up on a high note. I fear he will go down in flames like Favre

I mean his options in the passing game are Julian Edelman, a 64 year old Benjamin Watson, and a guy who was probably bagging groceries at Wegmans last week.

This is true, he is also very dependent on having an ELITE O-line. He is hands down the worst Q in the league when pressured

And it's more than likely the Bills will get curbstomped in Foxborough, but it will probably be self inflicted as Belichick tells allen to "stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself." Brady's statline will be something like 20/32 195 and 2 TDs maybe a pick

I was watching the game yesterday, and the amount of time he has to stand in the pocket is crazy. Just wait 20 seconds until somebody comes back for a 7-yard completion.

I certainly think that had an impact. It was sad it had to come to that, there was no life to the team at that point.

Why is your best scoring threat fighting? I get Girgs doesn't do that type of stuff, but that is traditionally falls to the person occupying his line.

No, I don't want a goon, but I also don't want the person with a 100 point potential season doing it for sure.

I get the point about not wanting your franchise ig se player getting hurt, I do.
However, with Jack stepping up in more CDC ways than one, the fight being a part of it, may perhaps be the best thing BBC that has happened for ths Sabres AND for Jack.
This stretch of 10 games has Jack against a wall, coming out fighting (literally), and willing his team to get back on track.

We are watching him turn the corner as THE leader of the team...not just a hot shot player with a C on his jersey.

It's a problem if Eichel is doing it once every 7 or 8 games. Once a season? Not so much.
