*shrugs*

the future captain looks as if he'll be a consistent 20+ goal/50+ point leader of the youngins

So some team will come along at the deadline and give us a 5th rounder for him because (checks notes) other teams made the same mistake in years past.

Chris Jones too though
Our O-line will have its hands full

I hope Dabol is prepared to call a game that gets the ball out of Allen’s hands quickly

Heavy dose of McKenzie and Singletary early, have them bring there safeties up and then Diggs, Davis and Sanders go to work.

We’ll see
Sometimes Dabol’s play calling game plan baffles me
But i do like that we’ve been using McKenzie, Singletary & even Knox more lately

Tough to cover all those weapons

If Allen is “on” we likely win
Mahomes has that X factor too though
This game could come down to whoever has the ball last

pats had a better pass rush this year then the chiefs and I do not think they even touched allen in the pocket

our o line has been really good the last 4 or 5 games since the switch

That doesn’t mean they’ll be good EVERY game though
Jones is one of the best D-linemen in the nfl
The Chiefs have enough talent that it *could* give our O-line problems

Not saying they will for sure
But if they are, then Dabol needs to have game plan adjustments ready

If we sign McKenzie to a long term deal,
I’d consider getting his jersey

Dude makes plays

Yes, Alex Tuch has a 17% shooting percentage right now; however, that equates to a whooping 3 goals.

3g 7a in 9 games.

His physical play has allowed him to create space for his linemates, which is fueling production. Speaking only of % is a misleading storyline about his incredible play as a Sabre over a short sample size.

7 assists over 9 games is 63 over a season, and that has bumpkis to do with shooting %.

Agree with this, a nice fake reverse with McKenzie and a toss to Davis for a TD

Its “on ice” shooting %. Which means when he’s on the ice the Sabres are shooting 17%.

The average is 8-9%.

It’s gonna regress

Man Krebs had a game Yesterday. If that is what we're getting, look out when he's with more talent.

oh...i know...not bagging on you in any way

edit: it's possible that the Sabres could have two 30-goal scorers this season in skimmer and his tallness...

that's pretty impressive for a bottom-5 team

We need a 1C (or 1 of the kids to develop into one)
A lockdown type RD
Another solid RD
And a legit goalie partner for UPL

The just gotta let all that young talent keep developing

We could have something here
I like the building blocks we seem to have in place
