TwistofFate Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 There is absolutely no reason to keep McCoy on this team. I love McCoy, but it's a disservice to him and the organization to keep him here. He was brought in here to help us compete on a championship level. We are the furthest thing from that. Get any value you can, and let him ride into the sunset of his career with a winning team, that's one piece away from heading to the big dance. Holding on to him this long was another mistake by this regime. Just add it up with the rest of the terrible decisions they've made. #FreeMcCoy 2

No. You win by scoring up front with a relentless passing attack. Let teams run on you all they want. Doesn't mater. 2-5 in rushing are 49ers, Cowboys, Panthers Browns. Patriots, Packers and chiefs aren't in the top 20 against the run. Rams are 12th. No one cares about the run. 1
CaptnCoke11 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 7 hours ago, no name said: trade your best player? seems like a present bills move. smh Well for a 30 year old running back on a team destined for 3-13 yeah it’s a good move to deal him if the price is right. 1
FluffHead Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Feel sorry for the vets on this team, but trading McCoy is the right move

Lol, no one cares about stopping the run?? I can assure you they do. If they run all over you they control the clock, control the tempo, tire out the defense, and keep your pass happy offense on the sideline. It's called grinding out a win. It's what teams who suck attempt to do to keep the game close enough to win by a lucky turnover. It's been the Bills motto for 20 years. Stop the run and you end up with a team like us, averaging 12pts a game, and practically a guaranteed win when you play them.

Against the Bills, teams only start running the ball in the second half---so they can get to the bus with the "W" ASAP. The best teams right now don't have "stopping the run" high on their priority list.

How can there then be 0% chance of drafting a "consistent starter" in the 6th rd?? By only going back to the last decade. Kinda selective though isn't it? Edited October 25, 2018 by DefenseWins

Kinda selective though isn't it? 10 years and 32 (plus comp) picks in each round is quite the sample size. While 1” is kind of arbitrary I would say designing your sample around shoehorning in an extreme outlier is even more “selective” 1
T master Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Every time Shady has been off the field this season Ivory & Murphy have stepped up & I believe their combined out put while on the field has been better than Shady's when he has been healthy & in the game . I think they could trade him & not miss out on much the rest of this year !!
