ChicagoRic Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'm referencing "McDermott: Not enough 'Very Very Good' days from Taylor. If you actually read the article, this is essentially misleading clickbait, and it's very intentional clickbait. "Very very good" is taken out of context to slant the article. Look at how the quotes are arranged in the headline. Notice that only "Very Very Good" is in quotes? Actual McDermott quote directly referencing Taylor: "Tyrod's had some what I would determine to be very, very good days and what I call playoff caliber moments." And now the "Not enough" part. It's actually referencing the team as a whole: "I don't think we've had enough as a team as that goes." I'm not taking sides on the Taylor debate, I'm just annoyed with the misleading headline and the angle it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Who put that out there like that? That's a desperate attempt at click bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's a Sully piece. Of course it's click bait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I don't usually get in on the Sully mosh pit but if the way you broke it down is correct then that's pretty pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's a Sully piece. Of course it's click bait... Did he really do that? How embarrassing for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still out there in the Interweb but you have to search for it by the title. Too bad that wasn't the only way to access Sully's 'work product'...

IDBillzFan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's all click bait now...at least for those sports writers who can't stand on their written word alone. Where the Bills are concerned, that's essentially all of them except Wawrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 And the jerks at the News wonder why we get our news from other unbiased sources? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 In Sully's defense: generally newspaper writers don't write the headlines. And the fact that they took this one down suggests that someone (Sully? A sports editor?) agreed with the OP here - a very misleading headline, and even the BN should know better.

transient Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 What's a "Sully"? Its the act of tarnishing or defiling something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Where is the article? Link? If that's true, that's just pathetic! Also, if what you posted is a direct quote from McDermott, then it sounds like he really likes Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think writing in general has been on a major decline and everything online is basically clickbait. The worst is wanting to actually READ an article and it links to a damn video. AUGH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or when you start reading an article and a video expands the page and moves the text and then keeps doing that over and over so you can't read it until you stop the video.
