My money is on the Bills defence allowing less points to Mahomes, than the Chiefs defence allows to Josh Allen next week.

Bills take two of ESPN's top 10:

7--Hyde pick
1--Allen to Knox 1st TD

Quick notes:. Hyde pick shoulda been at least top-5 as that layout in a frozen setting was as perfect a play as could be and it prevented a TD plus...

Allen to Knox was remeniscent of Montana to Clark...what a beaut

hyde should have had the #2 play of the day

It's a great day in Bills world. The best part is that I don't think this team considers that game as their Super Bowl.

mcdavid on what he feels the team needs to change: "i wish i had an answer for ya. we've talked it over and over and over again in that room and obviously we haven't found an answer yet. we have three practices here before our next one. we have to get back to work."

Next 10 games are against all top of the league, they haven’t won a game since December 18th.

But there is zero chance they trade mcdavid. What you’d have to give up (any franchise) would put the acquiring team right where the Sabres were with jack. No talent or assets to surround the player….

Unless you're a team with 3 1st round picks in a deep draft...🤔🤔

Such a great victory, literally from beginning to the end they made play after play nonstop...Offense and Defense.

Who could choose the biggest play of all with so many...getting up 7-0 on the 1st drive set the standard for the night. Many big plays on Defense to shut down the run...but none bigger than Hydes absolutely beautifully perfect interception in the end zone was H U G E
Buffalo!!! That may, just may have been the key...a 14 point swing in the making and wiped out alot of big plays NE made to get down field threatening to tie it up. It's my vote out of so many great plays given the how big of an impact it had.

It was fun back reading this morning to re-live the plays again. So many big time contributions from so many players..just clutch, but no bigger contribution that from Josh...what a friggin absolute STUD performance.

Now, I'd like for the Sabres to get into proper position to draft their Josh Allen...Savoie? Kooley? Maybe Wright with some luck.

Would Dahlin and those 3 picks make sense for either team?

Hypothetically speaking, of course

It would be something ridiculous like all 3 1st round picks, Dahlin, Cozens, and Quinn, and that still wouldn't be enough.

Would you go as far as Dahlin, those picks and Cozens or Krebs?

Oilers need both so yes, Sabres current plan is dependent on those so yes.

If you swap Dahlin/Levi/3 1sts (unprotected)/Olo/endless wings for eternity every time oilers visit Buffalo for McDavid, it speeds up both organization’s plans to compete.

Now imagine if Adams moved Eichel and brings in McDavid in the same season….rumor has it major changes coming……

I would think it will take more, but you're on the right path.
If I'm their GM, I want more immediate contributions in the form of another young player on Offense...
▪Dahlin
▪Cozens/Tage/Krebs
▪3-1sts / 2-1sts & Johnson/Samualsson/Levi

I would NOT do it myself....but, part of the enjoyment for me is watching the team formation process of drafting, developing, contributing of your own...so biased against blockbuster trades that strip those young assets away.

That’s the Petey rumor… and given what this franchise has been through, the two “major changes” could only be an insane deal like this or sale of the team….

It was on the Petey and Riv pod cast yesterday. Peter’s got a text saying “there will be major changes with the Sabres between now and the end of the year”. Didn’t get any more.

If i were the Oilers, I’d want:
Dahlin
Olofsson
Tuch
Thompson
Cozens
2022 1st
2023 1st

I realize that’s an insane amount
But i think they’d ask for something along those lines
