Really, thought UPL was supposed to get the start, well just in case of a emergency. How did he look.

I didn't see the game. I know he stopped 31 of 34, though.

Just wait until the last fight with 2nd sister. She flat out cheats.

The jail fight, you mean where you have to fight in that arena after you get zapped and kidnapped?

Yeah. I basically got through the game to that point without using the parry function (duck and dive 4 life). Finally I realized I had to parry. Without that, my force meter was spent by the time I killed all the second wave critters after the lizard thing 1st wave. By the time I got to the ape/spider 3rd wave, I was spent. Finally I realized I had to parry to rebuild my force meter (after 20 attempts and interminably long respawn times)

Pretty sure I had the same experience. I was like damn, why did I go 3/5 of the game not doing this? I think they designed it like that on purpose to force us to get good at it because the last few hours are brutal and parrying does wonders.

According to mike Harrington..... the ahl doesn’t even have a playoff this year

UPL should play every game until his legs fall off.

I guess the Amerks coach is doing his job and playing it like a real season?

With the taxi squad and Quinn in quarantine, it hurt and they have a few guys down there that are in quarantine. And Biro and DiPietro are hurt I believe.

Guess Laaksonen and Samuelsson had decent games, Samuelsson brought the nastiness that the Sabres sorely miss.

Wonder if DJ Fluker could be a cheaper option for the Bill's at G then Feliciano, and he can play RT.

Not enough players from call ups to Taxi, and Quarantine rules I would guess.

I suspect Feliciano might be the center next year

Yeah I agree, it will be interesting once the final Cap number comes out, and see who gets released from various teams

Could be, think if the cap number ends up at between 180 or 185mill Morse might not get released, especially if 185m is the number, Buffalo won't be over the cap then and with Brown, Addison, Jefferson, Smith, Butler probably getting released they could probably bring back both Feliciano and Williams and still have a little money to play with.

That's my guess too. Pay Feliciano good center $ and like morris go.

Allen and Feliciano are best buddies. Good continuity to start with, key relationship in football.

When I heard Beane talk about running the ball I thought of how easily the line was pushed around. Morse may be mobile but he isn't pushing anyone off of the ball and at that price I think he has to.
