Eichel Shines In Opening Preseason Game

Scott Goodwin

I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face as the “Sabre Dance” played on WGR Sport Radio on Monday evening. The Sabres were finally back in action on a fresh sheet of ice at the Excel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Sabres trumped the Wild by a score of 3 – 2 despite the several prominent forwards missing from Buffalo’s lineup. Fans listening via radio or receiving updates must have been displeased by the fact that this preseason game went untelevised.

It’s a rare realization, preseason is now interesting this year, there are so many new things to analyze about this team. The theme of the preseason opener was music to any Buffalo fan’s ears. Continue reading

Bills Vs. Steelers: Stock Up, Stock Down

Bills vs Steelers: Stock Up, Stock Down

Stock Up

Tyrod Taylor: All throughout camp and preseason, Taylor has shown that he is deserving of winning the starting job, and he continued that on Saturday going 12-13 for 122 yards and a very nice 20 yard rushing TD. No throw that Taylor made yesterday turned heads, or particularly stuck out in any way. But he went through all of his progression and took what the defense gave him, leading two efficient touchdown drives.

Taylor offers the Bills a dangerous homerun threat with world class mobility, the dimension that Matt Cassel does not offer. Taylor can do everything that Cassel can do, plus more, and for that reason alone he deserves to win the job.

Karlos Williams: My Karlos Williams hype train rages onward. Williams ran the ball extremely well on Friday, including a 1-yard touchdown on a Tyrod Taylor led drive in the second quarter. A stat line of 14 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown does not initially impress, but watching the running style of Williams tells a different story. Williams has a knack for gaining the extra yards after contact and is extremely difficult to bring down at first contact. Williams, deservingly, got some first team reps in relief of Lesean McCoy and showed nicely. Look for Williams to continue getting snaps in after McCoy as long as Fred Jackson is sidelined.
