Do you think McKenzie might price himself right out of Buffalo? I'm thinking people around the league are taking notice now.

He took a pay cut to stay this year, I think he might entertain another if we were willing to put him higher up in the pecking order. He was relatively unused for more than half this season.

Is it bad that I'm hoping Leslie somehow gets a job and we end up with Flores who deserves one?

Good thought. He's definitely a weapon that needs to be used more.

maybe, maybe not.

Its still Buffalo, and its still NYS.

You'll get ring chasers yes. But premier UFAs are still going to the highest bidder normally.

- ImThatGuy


I still think that while your older UFAs would certainly be ring chasers, I firmly believe a lot of these guys are coming here because it's right for them and their careers.

Being good is just like being attractive. It gets people to look your way and to engage. Then the personality separates the haves from the have nots. And again, for most of us.

Do people just want a change to change or is everyone certain that Flores is simply a better defensive coach than Frasier.

I think McD let them off the hook when he said he took over play calling w two minutes to go.

I don't know how religious he or any of his staff is, but the grim reaper won.

- TheSabresTaco


I don't think I'm a bright enough football mind to know honestly. I have really disliked Frazier at times even before this game, Flores I view as a very good coach that got a bad hand in Miami. I'd like to see what him and McD could scheme up together. Not much more to it than that.

Flores did have a lot of success in NE even though I guess he wasn't actually the DC after Patricia???

I think we all know that was a multifactorial loss and LF was not the sole fault there by any means. I don't hate him either, if he's back so be it, certainly sounds probable, just view Flores as an upgrade rightly or wrongly.

What would George Steinbrenner do? Like him or not, 13 seconds was unacceptable and for him somebody would need to take the fall. HC, DC, SPC.

Per Gabriel Davis, Josh Allen called for the double move on 4th and 13. Talk about balls.

I've watched almost every game as of late. Krebs scored two goals, the first two of his 17 game Sabres career and also the first two of his 21 game NHL career.

Didn't back read. So are we giving up on Mitts again? En vogue after his first game back I guess....

the loss falls on the coaching staff

just like last year and the year before in the playoffs

klein shuts kelce down for the most part in week 5 and does not take 1 single snap in the playoff game

lb's gassed hence the 182 yards rushing allowed on top of the 378 yards in the air


looking at the snap count, that entire back 7 was gassed as neal had 2 plays where they all played 100 percent of the d snaps
