Sounds like Spencer Brown isn't vaccinated so he probably misses Thursdays game. That hurts if true.

I don't think they "need" a superstar it would certainly help

But they do need to start winning. Last nights game was entertaining and it was pretty loud for the building being so empty (at least it sounded loud on TV).

by next year, assuming you keep everyone who isn't a UFA, you start to get the look of a team that's exceptionally young but also dynamic and talented. There will be more bumps, and who knows if any of those players will be swapped out for complimentary vets. But when you have this group to enter their primes in the next couple of years, the star or superstar will be the compliment instead of the focus. And that's where you need to get to be great.

That is correct...

Maybe that trade isn't as bad as we thought!

If this is the real Tage and he is a true 55-60 point center and Johnson turns into a NHL defensemen...

I heard a few weeks ago, the beasley thing was a distraction.

Couple guy's are pretty pro-vax and (Diggs /sanders)
Others playing the same position ( beasley/ davis)
Obviously feel differently.

Losing games and losing teammates for covid non vax is catching up with the Bill's.


Also this gem:
Tpegs and Kim not happy about some ja17 designed runs early.

I kinda felt the same way, imagine paying him all that $ and see him running in 2 point conversions up 25...

Gotta give the "Center whisperer " Donnie some credit.

He deserves all the credit tage isnt receiving.

Tage is using his size to create. The skys the limit, literally 🤔

Trades involving futures and prospects always look lopsided to start

Right now if ROR was still here he’d be a pending UFA on the way to being traded for a package similar to what we got for him

The trade was never as bad as people said it was

If O'Reilly hadn't been traded in 2018, he would have been traded this past summer along with Reinhart and Eichel.

Right, and the return would’ve been almost identical, or even worse.

The decisions surrounding him made his time here and subsequently the trade irrelevant
