papazoid Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 McCoy still sounds hurt and bitter.... hopefully he takes it out on the rest of the league.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah, McCoy should stop talking about Philly. He just got paid a ton of money. Turn the page. Besides, it's not star players Chip hates. It's black players duh!
PromoTheRobot Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 One thing's for sure: Bills @ Eagles will be a prime time game.
What a Tuel Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Right, and I understand that... He fit the scheme, so it wasn't that. He was replaced with expensive player(s), so it wasn't that. What else is there, beyond personality conflicts? The question is was it Chips ego, or was it McCoy's? Seems to be Chips ego since he didn't seem to get a long with any of the playmakers on that team. Andy Reid did just fine with McCoy, Jackson, and Maclin. I think Chip's got to sit back relax and let the players take or get some credit sometimes.
eball Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I'm not crazy about Shady running his mouth over the Chip Kelly situation, but at the end of the day what he has said isn't particularly inflammatory. If it motivates him to perform, it only helps the Bills.
Lurker Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 ...? I guess you forgot all about Mr. Training-Manual-Goes-Right-in-My-Drawer. Or when Hughes sounded off on Marrone last year during TC. Neither of those guys had national platforms. I look at Shady as being of the stature of Bruce, not B-team guys like SJ or Jerry...
Overseas Bills Fan Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I think McCoy is really immature/full of himself. Of course Chip Kelly "respects stars"...The idea that Chip Kelly's ego is running the show over there seems VERY far fetched...The business of football is bigger than any one player (especially a RB). I remember reading an article last year about McCoy being a jerk at a Philly restaurant and completely turned me off to him. http://www.businessinsider.com/lesean-mccoy-left-20-cent-tip-says-restaurant-owner-2014-9 You can always watch another team if McCoy on the Bills bothers you so much/
CodeMonkey Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Shady didn't like being traded, or at least traded to Buffalo, and didn't like not being informed until the deal was done. I know it's the off season and things are slow but come on media, get over it and move on.
Hot Buffalo Wings Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) You can always watch another team if McCoy on the Bills bothers you so much/ Haha no thanks. I'm content. It doesn't bother me that he's on the team...I was just giving my two cents on what I think about his reactions to the trade and how it went down. Edited April 8, 2015 by Hot Buffalo Wings

Maury Ballstein Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Some bigger than others. I'm not really sure how to take the last part...it sounds like an opinion of a player with a huge ego. Why wouldn't he have an ego ? He's led the league in rushing for the past 5 years. Toot that horn shady. Talk the talk and walk the walk woooooooooooo!
johnwalter Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 i also come down on the "pipe down mccoy" side of this whole thing. he's not really coming off like a bill right now (he's not playing this like f-jax or kyle would've).
The Big Cat Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Neither of those guys had national platforms. I look at Shady as being of the stature of Bruce, not B-team guys like SJ or Jerry... I agree. And I think it's a good thing.
1billsfan Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 i also come down on the "pipe down mccoy" side of this whole thing. he's not really coming off like a bill right now (he's not playing this like f-jax or kyle would've). I took it as the guy was being completely honest in his assessment of why he was traded. Unfortunately that will get you in trouble most of the time. It didn't come off as hyperbole either. In a way, it's refreshing to hear such honesty coming from a high profile, star player who was involved in a big player for player trade which almost never happens in the NFL. He could have easily clammed up to the reporters but he probably thought to himself why should I help out Chip in that regard? He's had time to reflect he's gotten it off his chest and I'm sure he knows there's no need to discuss it further. He can now be in his right to blowing off any and all questions from now on with the "I've already said all I'm going to say this matter, but I'll answer any other questions if you have them for me". I listen to a lot of 97.5 The Fanatic (Philly's sports station, it's 90% NFL talk unlike that stupid Buffalo station) and they were going crazy with the comments. Accusing him of sounding like a jilted lover and being very immature. That's totally understandable, but I'm of the option that he needed to have a reflective interview after the dust settled to get his final "closure" to his Eagles departure.
TakeYouToTasker Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Oh shut it McCoy. "Stars" don't deserve preferential treatment, everyone is a cog, nothing more. They absolutely do, as their talents dictate it. The less fungible you are, the more you can demand. It's like this in every field.
YoloinOhio Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 He's bitter. In his mind, He got blindsided by the trade and lied to by Chip. Hopefully it gives him an extra edge and he takes it out on him when they play each other.
BarleyNY Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 "Charles" has enough ego for all of them Not disagreeing with that, but in this case, the coach is the boss, so he gets to make that call. Chip is also a guy who only came to the NFL after the NCAA made it clear he wasn't wanted there anymore due to cheating at Oregon. While I think a lot of cheating goes on in the NCAA and the NFL, I still have a very difficult time respecting him.
YoloinOhio Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Mccoy says he's done talking about Philadelphia http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25142252/bills-rb-lesean-mccoy-im-finished-with-philadelphia
mead107 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Chip wants to be the star. Edited April 9, 2015 by mead107

If it motivates him to perform, it only helps the Bills. Somehow I don't think that will matter to those jamokes in Philly. I've been thinking about getting to that game, but i really don't know how smart it will be to show up in Bills gear that day.
