8-8 Forever? Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Sully had to have been jizzing his pants in the press box during just imagining writing this column. He hasn't had a good villain to pillory in a while. yep. when they start winning he'll be out of a job as his M.O. will be gone
Hot Buffalo Wings Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 “It is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could have done better. The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends oneself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt
Gordio Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Well since you took the time to comment about it, you care, obviously. And I'm sure a lot of his teammates weren't thrilled about watching him make out with the Eagles logo after he spent all week begging them to have his back for this game. And since McCoy is still butthurt about being traded to Buffalo, and would obviously rather still be playing in Philly, Bills fans should care. But for some reason, fans like you will continue to play if off like it's no big deal, or just make excuses for him while he continues with his childish little temper tantrums. I think you are onto something here. I also think it was poor taste to stay behind and have an after party with some of his old philly teammates instead of flying home on the charter flight with the rest of his team. You could say this stuff doesn't matter but it is just another clue that this is not a very tight knit team & unfortunately it shows on gameday. They don't play as a team. It is up to Rex to change that culture & get the me guys out of here. Shady is a very talented running back, he is also a very selfish running back. That has been his knock even was at Pitt. My friend graduated from Pitt & follows that program very closely. He wasn't thrilled with the Shady trade & it had nothing to do with his on field production.
K-9 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Sully, like all opinion writers, had several iterations of his Monday column written before the game even started. All depended on which way the wind blew before putting the finishing touched on the one he selected. GO BILLS!!!

Reports are that he never appeared at the party. Even if he did, it's no big deal as Monday was the players' day off. People hang on to the silliest stuff and try to make it into some big controversy when it means absolutely nothing.

K-9 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Don't agree at all. It is a big deal. Not a team player all about me. Would it have been ok if the Bills had won the game? GO BILLS!!!
26CornerBlitz Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Don't agree at all. It is a big deal. Not a team player all about me. The party was pre-planned and it was obviously okay with Rex with the team being off the next day. Who cares? Just another reason for people to B word about something that in the overall scheme of things doesn't mean jack.
YoloinOhio Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 If no one was at the party, is it really a party? Vinny curry didn't go either. So it was Jason Peters and...
papazoid Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 provided bulletin board material all week to get opposing team fired up to stop him. kissed the eagles logo hugged the eagles owner played like chit in 2nd half stiffed shaking hands after game stiffed answering media questions did not fly home on team plane with his current teammates. stayed behind to party with old teammates. who side is he on ?.....his own.
Bob in STL Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 To all you fans backing McCoy's behavior, read the Darryl Talley interview, and then think about McCoy's behavior and his decision to stay in Philly to party with his old teammates. Maybe people and players have changed a lot in the 20 years that past since the Bills Super Bowl Teams? I just done agree with how McCoy could: bring up old bad blood about the trade with Kelly, hug the owner before the game, kiss the Eagle on the field, storm off the field after the loss, and then not fly home with his team (and in support of his team). After the game is the time for hugs and hello's. After the game, especially a loss, is when you see what people are really made of. Humble in victory, gracious in defeat ... clearly these are things that do not resonate like they used too. I just can't help but think that no mater how talented this current Bills team is, they lack the real leadership needed to be winners.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Shady being Shady: McCoy reportedly doesn't show at homecoming party McCoy's return to Philadelphia was spoiled with an Eagles victory.
papazoid Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Thomas Evans, general manager of B-Side Lounge, confirmed to NJ Advance Media that the party was infact being held, and that McCoy, Curry and Peters were expected to arrive shortly after midnight. http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2015/12/lesean_mccoy_is_having_a_party_in_philadelphia_thr.html
respk Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I've never understood the idea that an athlete must talk to the media after a game. I've never heard of one, but does the NFL or a team have a rule that a player must talk to the media after a game? It may be in the athletes best interest to talk, but if they don't want to I don't see any reason that they should.

It may be in the athletes best interest to talk, but if they don't want to I don't see any reason that they should. The league’s media policy is clear: “Players must be available to the media following every game and regularly during the practice week as required under league rules. Star players, or other players with unusually heavy media demands, must be available to the media that regularly cover their teams at least once during the practice week in addition to their required post-game media availability. . . . Each club will open its locker room during the normal practice week (based on a Sunday game) on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to all accredited media for player interviews for a minimum of 45 minutes.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/20/like-it-or-not-nfls-media-policy-is-clear/
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) So because he was asked how TT would do in Philly's offense and he responded that he would kill it means he's obsessed? that's a seriously pathetic reach It's far from a "pathetic reach". Maybe I didn't state my point well. What I meant is that it means he doesn't think too highly of our offense. If TT could "kill it" in Philly, why isn't our coaching staff putting him in a postion to do the same here? I think it shows that some people aren't buying into Roman's offense.

I think it shows that some people aren't buying into Roman's offense. You just further proved how much you're reaching. There was no mention of anything about our offense. he was asked a question about Philly's offense and TT. Any inference beyond that is strictly in the readers head.
