The sabres need to go 30-12 to make the playoffs this year.
- sabresfan69

The Sabres need to get hot and hope nobody else gets hot in front of them.

Sabres realistically need to go 25-10-7
Nets them an additional 57 points.
Puts them at the pace line.

They probably need to play above that.

Gotta clean that crap up, and the Oline needs to play better. Especially with Pittsburgh coming in.

I do think the Dallas game exaggerated how good the offensive line really is. They're solid, but in that Dallas game, the Cowboys went with some embarrassingly small personnel which made things easy. The Bills offensive line struggled because Dolphins blitzed a ton, which should be expected.

The Bills oline has been consistently ranked in the top 5-10 all year. Whether right or wrong I don’t know.

Josh Allen does cause a lot of his own issues at times. It’s the rollercoaster of having him at QB.

Comrie stunned about Bryson and Jost not being in the NHL is a metaphor on how Adams runs this organization.

Buy your tickets, the Josh Allen show is the biggest thriller on earth.

Oh, they're a good unit, and the fact that they've played together pretty much all year is a plus. It's just that the Dallas game made them look like some sort of equivalent to the Electric Company when it was the Cowboys' own personnel that might have had as big of a hand in that. Now, they have this reputation that they can run people over at will because of that game, which isn't really accurate. I guess what I'm trying to say is "they're good, but they're not that good". They're still better at pass protection than they are at run blocking.

4% chance to make it
- Sabretooth9


The Bills only had an 18.7% chance at making it after Week 12.

Synergy.

The positive is that any chance of any UFA signing in Buffalo has been reduced to 0 unless they are 3x overpaid, previously it was just 1.5x. Terry loves this news as he will not offer any contracts for those prices, which validates a full internal build plan.

So far, there have been leaks about:

Cozens
Mitts
Krebs
Comrie
(Jost, Bryson)

What do you think is really going on inside there?

If Kevyn did his job even a little, it wouldn't (frank)ing matter if prominent UFAs signed here.

Hearing Toronto and William Nylander closing 8x$11.5M extension. Full NMC all the way through.

Leaks was a poor word choice I guess:

Cozens - calling the team soft and the GM publicly calling him out for it
Mitts - 36 said he is confused with the direction of the team and leaning towards not resigning
Krebs - Early on there was noise he wanted different linemates, add in Mark Stone calling out Buffalo for not handling Krebs correctly
Olo - asking for a trade, then saying he didnt ask for one but expected a trade
The rest, Comrie has made it clear he is upset, based off his comments, being in the AHL I assumed Bryson and Jost are pissed as well.

I wonder how many players internally voiced concerns, and I would bet the concerns began during training camp.

EJ chose here. It’s different 😂
