Bills trade deadline hopes:

Depth for either

O line
WR
Or corner

I’ll take any of those 3 and not be mad

One of the things I miss most about home. I have to watch 67 dunks and every NFL highlight, F1. Soccer highlights on ESPN before I’ll see any mention of this

As a fellow Canadian, I sympathize. With me living abroad, I mostly just watch the 5 minute game recaps on NHL.com, catch occasional interviews on Sabres.com and read what I can about the team online.

Does anyone wish Nick Sirianni was the Bills head coach, instead of McDermott?

Buffalo just happens to be one of the best sports markets in the world. I see record levels of fans in the rink within 2 years.

What i always find funny is people suggest these other cities with more than double the population but would draw about the same number of people

I was also wondering if they might get creative. Possibly the most interesting takeaway from the GB game was that the Pack at times manhandled us when they went to bigger packages. I wonder if that means they shift around the personnel a bit more.

Well last night was a solid treat for me. Tage is a f'n beast. 6'7" with slick hands, and a cannon of a shot.. Dude could hit 40 easy this year. I say feed that man the puck and let him take 8-10 shots on net a night he will score damn near every night that way.

As far as I am concerned you can take Mittle-Shat and shoot him to the moon. I would trade his a$$ right now for anything and I would not care less if he turned into a 25 goal scorer. He SUCKS.

I think the game Sunday night was the best example of how much better Milano is than Edmunds. Milano was everywhere that night and I barely noticed Edmunds even though we only have 2 linebackers on the field.

Could be a thought. Little birdie told me a on Poyer possible HyperExtended Elbow with a Bone chip. Not good but not season ending either. Hope the birdie is wrong.

Semi understandable last night was a bad night for parents. I still think attendance was pathetic for a market where most of us played at least a few years of ice hockey as kids. Water under the bridge for last night. Tomorrow night is tomorrow night. Take the boxing gloves off and dig into those deep pockets, buzzards. If nothing else, buy 300 level seats and move down after the 1st.

edit: just looked at Ticketmaster's map. half the arena is still for sale for tomorrow night. pathetic.


Cheap, cheap, cheap. No other word for it.

Think about it though. 12 years of stink has served to act as a sh!t sandwich to curb the fan base.

As an example, m brother and several of his friends had season tickets from October 1971 through April 2020...49 years. They dumped their tickets in response to Covid, but the discussions anx questions had been taking place for a couple seasons before...why support such an inept organization? They aren't coming back sans a couple games a year now.

On the other end, folks who are ~20 and younger haven't experienced a good team to get excited about...Sabres lost a feeder base of fans to replace those who are aging out.

Gonna take awhile to win those in the middle back and get new younger fans interested again.

He attributes sitting in the press box as a major reason why he's elevated his play.

I vote for Sarasota , Fl. To the southern part of the city closer to Venice. Get out of The Bolts territory.

Or as I’ve been saying. It’s going to take more than a few wins to get people back. They are going to need to show they are a good team for at least 50% if the season before people start to come back.
- ImThatGuy


Tell us more about not extending tage Thompson, then tell us more about extntending donnie.

You shouldn't be allowed to enjoy Sabres wins.

Funny, you probably aren't anyways 😀

Why would you want to cut down his opportunities by reducing the number of shots he takes
