How would you feel if your underling showed you up in front of the entire industry?

Do you really think Krueger is concerned with that? Smith and krueger crossed paths prior in their careers. It was coincidence that smith was already on the roster.
Thought they were respected professionals and friends.

So would he give steve a bunk game plan, so krueger looks better in the industry?

As much as he may want out, I’d imagine he’d still like to be close to home.

Nashville is a hell of a lot closer than Seattle is.

Plus it’s Nashville..........

the lack of rioting and overrunning of state and federal institutions would be one thing. the state tax rate would be the main one. I'm pretty sure a multi business owner and income property manager would know this. an unemployed tennant might not.

If he's willing to play for $2m with bonus incentives, sure. If not, the money is better spent elsewhere. We're not going anywhere if Allen is hurt so I'm not too interested in investing in the 2QB. It's cheaper to just ride with Fromm. We're not gonna win a SB with Fitz or Fromm so who really cares

Barkley's not under contract anymore. I assume it's gonna be Fromm or someone else. The question is how much the back QB is worth to you with a stagnant cap. Because anything over 2-3 million means taking away from keeping starters or signing guys elsewhere on the roster

even make it a 2 year deal if needed

If we're playing for home field advantage in the afc championship, every down counts.

Fitz could win a game, 1/2 game, a td drive while ja17 is in concussion protocol.

Barkley was impressive * Lately *
I'm sure mcbeane liked what they saw

Other than the story book ending. This is the other best option... Fitz is like another qb coach out there. Another really smart set of eyes!

And it can lay the path, once Daboll gets his HC gig, fitz steps into the OC roll! Lol!!!

Funny now that the rest of the league has caught up to the Sabres in terms of games played they now sit at the bottom of the division and near the bottom of the league.

Now you look at that schedule, 46 games in 83 days os cruel. I’m holding out hope for for 4th place, but given the circumstances you can’t really judge if they don’t pull it off. Shame that after all these years of being a$$ they get essentially robbed out of 2 straight seasons. I don’t think anyone could have pictured worse luck. Crazy.

Yeah and if we actually played that 11th game and won we would be tied for 4th, interesting.

And if they lost which is just as likely, last place, Interesting.

Sabres currently 4th worst team in the League, again.
