I honestly don’t like singletary. He bounces around too much east to west

Moss and yeldon I think are better options with the current o line we have

Interesting how most people were raving about the kid last year.

Rewatched the embedded.

That sh!t pumps me up.

(I'd feel better if we had a goalie we could really feel confident in, though)

It’s clear from embedded that without ralph there’s definitely no hall. The video didn’t even show the FaceTime call ralph had with hall Saturday morning (that hall referenced) that sealed the deal. Also, in a normal year with more money available for teams he most likely signs elsewhere. We took advantage of non-normal times - good for us!!

I liked 2 things the most:
1. When Adams said “steals all in, he’s texting me let’s make this team better.”
2. When UFA was about to begin, Adams said he was going to call halls agent. One of the scouts said, “is this real?” Adams said something like oh yeah it’s real, not sure we’ll get him but it’s real.

I would have liked To see the real-time reaction of Adams, etc when the agent told them he was signing with buffalo. Mist have been some celebration. Wonder why they left that out!

With 4.65 speed instead of 4.3 speed. A lot of the problem with Singletary this year is the Offensive line. Our tackles have been good but morse has been average and our guests have been horrendous. From all22, they say Boettger probably cost us 2-3 touchdowns last week by getting blown up in key plays. Boettger shouldn’t be on the team much less starting. Hopefully Feliciano starts in his place Sunday

I don’t see Spiller at all. Spiller was all speed and no shiftiness or tackle breaking.

Singletary isn’t fast but isn’t easy to tackle.

He will be fine

I'd love to see the unedited version 😂 when they no doubt voice their opinions on players around the league

Yeah, The "Staalsy's all in" part was great

You mean The Harbor Center manager with 0 experience had little to do with it?

I’m shocked

I caught a glance at the outtakes/ bloopers.

Love the part when Staalsys, says " nice job locking down girgy for undermarket value." "That guy is a tough s.o.b. to play against "

😉 gotta YouTube it

No Gilmore tomorrow either for the Pats...if the Bills can’t beat this team they have no business even making the playoffs.

Sounds like Gilmore has played his last game as a Patriot

Depending on his health, I would trade for him.

Gilmore maybe playing his next game in Buffalo?

2nd round pick? What's his value?

Not sure the Bills could fit him in under the cap.

Not to mention I’m not sure he fits in with a McDermott schemed defense.

Eww no, he can take his ass elsewhere. We need run defense and pass rush. That will make up for coverage woes. Levi Wallace is fine and 2nd cb, they need to add a decent nickel corner. Gilmore is over rated and didn't play all that well in buffalo anyways.

No way I would want to take on that cap hit, what ever is left of the 23mill this year and 17mill next.

Yeah, I dont like Gilmore. Smells like billicheat?

Just checking his value?

I'm not sure if we're close enough given up top picks for players.

And as you mentioned, fill the more needed positions first.

Appreciate the positivity
Go Sabres!

*i do agree on the goaltending
Ppl keep talking about a trade with Calgary,
but doesn’t it seem obvious that ARZ would wanna move a goalie?
Even if we can’t get Kuemper,
Raanta would still be a nice addition imo

Don’t think it’s Singletary’s fault
Our run blocking is ranked something like 28th
in the league
Hopefully Feliciano helps

Although I agree with Arizona and being the most likely spot to trade with.

Wondering krueger and Hutton's relationship? Seems like hutton would be a "coaches player". Strikes me that way.

Hard work, preparation, playing thru injury 🤔

There’s nothing this former diner waitress can’t do when she puts her mind to it!!!

Maybe?
Have there been positive comments about Hutton from Kruger?
I haven’t heard any,
but i also don’t listen to most press conferences or interviews either

Spiller never hit the hole with conviction

That's what I'm seeing in Singletary, which is why I drew the parallel
