Short Take Sports
Sabres beat Dallas
It’s a long season with lots of ups and downs but beating Dallas is a good step in the right direction. Thompson with the winner and 3 assists for Owen Power. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/tage-thompson-backs-up-words-scores-l…
Cooper grades well
After the drop, Amari Cooper didn’t just look good, he was good. He graded out on top of Bills offensive players according to Pro Football Focus. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2024/10/bills-pff-grades-amari-cooper-posts-elite-grade-dl-dominate-top-5.html
Seattle prediction
The Seahawks beat the Patriots, Broncos and Dolphins but have lost to the Giants, Niners and Lions. Geno Smith is OK against weak teams but meh against good ones. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2024/10/21/buffalo-bills-schedule-nfl-week-8-seattle-seahawks/75777025007/
McLeod shows well
The player for whom the Sabres gave up prized prospect Matt Savoie has goals in 3 straight games. Ryan McLeod is only 25 so he may have upside. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-ryan-mcleod-scoring-earning-tr…
