The Sabres are off to a 4-3-1 start showing some of the same flash and talent that led them to the second round of the playoffs last season, and some of the same issues that could keep them from reaching that point again.

The Bills are 4-1 to start the year but are just two plays away from being 2-3. From a porous defense to a fumble prone running back, some questionable decision making at QB, and injuries, there are many that question how long the Bills can keep stacking wins, and what are they truly capable of when the postseason arrives.

Tyler Bass kicked a 45 yard field goal in overtime to lift the Bills to a 37-34 win over the Rams on Monday Night Football. What it took to get there boggles the mind on many fronts. Joe Brady put together a gameplan that accounted for the absence of receivers DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer. Josh Allen ran for 121 yards and a touchdown. James Cook rushed for 111 and two scores but fumbled twice including one that nearly lost them the game in OT were it not for a Greg Rousseau blocked field goal attempt. The result also did nothing to ease the concerns about Buffalo's defense and secondary in particular. The end result has Buffalo at 4-1 and still alone atop the AFC East.

The Sabres have opened the season with two come-from-behind wins, and two losses where they were thoroughly outplayed. The most recent defeat was a brutal 4-0 loss to Dallas in which their offense did nothing, and goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was not sharp, which has been the case in all three of his starts. Sal Maiorana is joined by Mike Augello of the Hockey News and they discuss what’s wrong with the powerless power play, Luukkonen’s early struggles, and the lofty expectations the Sabres are now facing as they try to build on last year when they ended their 15-year playoff drought.

The Bills 29-26 loss to the Patriots surprised many, but it also confirmed a lot of the concerns surrounding this football team.

The Bills (3-0) are officially favored to win the Super Bowl. What that means in week four remains very much to be seen. There are certainly plenty of issues for them to correct after they turned the football over five times in a 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday, but there are more than a couple of silver linings.
