Brian Daboll. I think we all thought that Allen got to the point where he could run things himself like a Rodgers or a Brady. He still needs to be coached up a bit, and there's nobody to reel him in when he starts to get wild, like he's been since just before Halloween. Even Andy Reid still needs to do that with Mahomes every once in a while. The Bills don't have a coach that can do that anymore. He's in New Jersey now.

Meanwhile Mahomes has 25 picks the past two years, but no one ever talks about it.

Thatcher Demko is available.

Go get him.

He wont help with our defensive structure. He wont clear his own crease. Gotta fix the defense personnel and the team defense first.

If he's 5'9 he should most likely be playing forward.... or not in the NHL.

Whenever I watch Bryson I always think he'd be better used up front with his speed... Then I remember he just isn't good at this hockey stuff.

Isn't he hurt ?
- Buff36


Yeah, hasn't played since 12/1 per NHL.com

He isn't a top tier goalie either. I'd expect him to be just slightly better than his current .883 here.

Nah just a poster who has a super weird infatuation with me.

I mean I’ve been told I kind of resemble Zemgus, but still it’s kind of creepy now.

Only been 4-5 games

Teams are keying on him on power play
How about olo on one side tuch on the other
Thompson in front for awhile
Let's see if other teams can move a forward from front of net

I think that is why olofsson should go back tk the other half way.

This way the Pkers can’t cheat and they have to remain in a tight box

Mahome is the new face of the league and Allen is not.

Hence why allen needs a superbowl. It escalates your stature as a player

To be fair, Mahomes had a spell last year where the talking heads were asking "what's wrong with him" too, when the Bills beat them and Tennessee killed them in consecutive weeks.

Marty was talking Vic on the right, Tage on the left, move skinner and tuch in front of the net. Give the other team a no win situation. The worst look we'll get is a Dahlin shot with 2 men in front to 1 defender.

I suppose scoring on Chicago isn't going to be a big issue tonight. Should be a confidence builder no matter what they do.

I agree
Something not quite right
Elbow or Play calling
Or
Crappy receivers ain't helping

- Anderdog

or his own decision making. he makes some really head scratching decisions at times. he doesn't need to be a hero on every play.
also. don't (frank) this up tonight. hawks are neck and neck with the jackets
