Projects us last in division

I’d assume because the goaltending and defense as projected are still awful

Cozens and Dahlin can lift this but only by so much.

Adams or Pegula or whoever is running the show botched what could’ve been a meaningful offseason

Tannehill literally played the role of Alex Smith while Henry ran for 180 yards + two weeks in a row in the playoffs.

Shut down Henry and you beat the Titans.

- Pegullaville

He had 4 300+ yard games and another three over 250 in 12 starts

He had 22 TD’s and 6 picks

His 16 game average would’ve been

3415 and 27 TD passes

He also led the league in yards per attempt

He was great

next summer it would be easy to move okposo

would have to move reinhart next summer as well if hall were to come back

- homiedclown


I dont see how Kane could possibly fit this year without either Reinhart and Risto going the other way or Okposo and Miller. Or Skinner I guess. 10 million smackeroos is a lotta celery

In today’s NFL QB’s 1-15 are all great.

That’s what makes having a high end defence all the more important.

That’s why the Legion of Boom and No Fly Zone should be top 5 defences of all time for doing what they did in an era in which you cannot breathe on a receiver.

Also makes having a running game to keep the elite QB’s on the bench as long as possible a great play as well.

That gets you to 10 mil but with 2 roster spots to fill. I dont think the Sabres could do 3-for-1. It would need to be 2-for-1. That gets me back to Risto and Reinhart plus prospects/picks. Or Skinner and Cozens straight up, which I wouldn't do

The Sabres have a top 5 Center in the NHL and don’t even make the playoffs. We are the Houston Texans of the NHL.
- Pegullaville


Flaccoville, why were you so excited to sign an ",average qb"?

Although that's the formula I guess

Average qb
Good run game
Great defense

Drew Lock is not average, he’s the worst QB in the NFL.

Average this year would be Mayfield, Goff, Rivers, Carr (whom beat Mahomes with the support of a strong running game this year), Tua,

Ryan, Herbert, Tannehill, Brady, Brees, Big Ben are in the good to great tier. Guys you would put in the latter half of the top 10 or just outside depending on preference

Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray are average to below average passers but elite athletes and probably belong in the group just mentioned in the 2nd paragraph.

The Elite Tier is Mahomes, Rodgers, Wilson, Allen and Watson rounding out the top 5.

They ran for 143.

doubt the hawks would take on okposo

I know terry explored getting kane a few years ago

hall, eichel and kane would be scary good for a playoff starved franchise in a shortened season

- homiedclown


Well yeah.... that line would be amazing,
BUT

1- Kane likely wouldn’t waive to come here
He wants to win, & we aren’t good

2- How would we fit him under the Cap?
CHI isn’t taking back Okposo & Risto in the deal

3- What would be the point?
Maybe we’d make the playoffs, but we’d have no Cap room left to fix the goaltending & defense, so we’d be easy 1st round losers
So giving up all the pieces it would take to get him would be dumb

what would you give up for pat kane?


risto, olofsson, casey and a prospect?

- homiedclown


I didnt like Kelly as a player, although he signed autographs with greg bell at one point.

Frank Reich might have been the better choice .At least the one year, when kelly was hurt

I'd give up all 3 plus 3 picks/prospects . Pk88

Imagine the line possibilites 🙂

Pk88 eichel girgensons

One problem, Greg: my report wasn’t about Pacioretty’s NTC, or the difficulty of a deal, and it didn’t include any destinations.

Have the Golden Knights been trying to trade Max Pacioretty? The answer to that is yes. That’s the report. That’s it.

AMEN SIR

If there was gonna be a trade for Pk88,
I’m guessing we’d give up something like:

Reinhart, Montour, Quinn, & a 1st
Possibly one of our defenseman prospects like Samuelsson or Johnson as well

Maybe that’s too much?
Or we’d have to give up something like that & they’d send back more than just Kane

Remember like 8-10 weeks ago you had lock and allen even. Same type of quality qb

I specifically asked you that question


I was also referring to your excitement in regards to flacco "joe average" signing with denver.

You kinda earned your nickname by jizzing all over this place , when flacco signed in Denver

No, they ran the ball forcing the Chiefs to load the box, then took their deep shots outside when they got man to man coverage on the outside due to the soft coverage looks.

Kind of like in a boxing match how sooner or later you start taking too many body shots you start to compensate for that by dropping your arm and then all of a sudden you take the upper cut to the beak planting you on your a$$

No you're right 347 air to 143 ground is definitely beating teams with the run
