The penultimate (2nd-to-last)...wouldn't. It might as well have been any other game this year. So your "dogging it after week 10" doesn't hold water.

McCoy said if Rams blitz Brady he will make them pay. I dunno, the Giants showed you can beat the Pats when getting significant pressure on Brady. But I guess you could do what the Eagles did last year & just put up an insane amount of points despite Brady putting up over 500 yards & 3 TD's.

McCoy said you got to get pressure, but you need to do so up the middle and with your front 4. His argument is that if you blitz Brady often he will make you pay. He is going to find that open guy and quickly. So thats where McCoy was coming from

And he missed the bus against NE. but hey, just a coincidence that he missed a bus for the first time as a Bill that day right? Has to be...you’ve offered no explanation why a seasoned vet and “team leader” does that that day
Turk71 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) McCoy sounded bitter talking about the Pro Bowl. Said he had been a real Pro Bowler, not an alternate or a replacement. Why throw shade at KW 95 and other players who are honored to take part? No class at all and an egocentric mentality. Edited January 25, 2019 by Turk71

Not going to say that the McBeane was not particularly motivated to try and salvage the KB debacle. Who wouldn't be in their shoes. They probably saw pretty quickly that KB had not only lost a step, but was showing all the catch radius of a T-Rex and far less compete for the ball than hoped for from a guy with TE size against DBs. But they did their best to salvage other problem children...Darius too when he felt he would get a pass. They sat him a time or two for the same reasons. They have been pretty consistent with their message, and I don't see a coach who has lost his team at all.

Now it's "a coincidence" that he missed the team bus against the Cheaters the week before? Admit it: you don't even know what you're arguing about anymore and are arguing just to argue. The facts are that the OL sucked an no RB looked good behind it.
Mr. WEO Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) I’m asking you if you think it’s a coincidence. What’s your guess as to why he missed a bus for the NE game. Simple question It was a huge F you to McD. Edited January 25, 2019 by Mr. WEO

Simple question It was a huge F you to McD. Why that game? Why not the season ender like you originally thought? At least that would make sense. Not the penultimate game. And as for it being a "huge F you to McD," I can think of far worse things than being late for a bus.

Doc Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 4 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Yes. Why the NE game? I don't know. Why not the 2nd Miamiseason-ending game, like you thought it was? Why not the 1st Jets, which the Bills went into with 7 losses in their first 9 games and were effectively out of the playoff hunt?

Boy, that McDermott knows how to send a message!!! McCoy is a team Captain and still has his job. On 1/23/2019 at 3:32 PM, BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P said: I'm sure McCoy dogged it especially at the end. Sure there's more to it since coaches give preferential treatment to vets. Bet there's something more to it.. like being late several times on top of dogging it and generally giving up on the year (which again, can definitely see a vet like McCoy wondering what's the point when he's been around so much. Nevertheless a bad example on a young team) Favre being the laziest veteran for over 10 years on the Packers was one of the NFL's best kept secrets.. unless it wasn't as much of a secret as I had thought.. idk. His biography, Gunslinger, was pretty enlightening to me and really hilarious at how many POS stories he got away with for being the top dog in Green Bay for so long. The Falcons chapter was epic. Nobody ever seems to remember he was the OG Johnny Manziel in Atlanta. He isnt just a Vet he is a Captain. Even McCoy suggested such when he got benched. Higher standard.

He missed the bus, he had to be penalized. Maybe the "vet break" was just missing a single play? And Shady doesn't call the plays/determine the number of carries he gets. Careful their is a poster on here that will track you down and stalk you for a day for that kind of humor. As if you make anykind of joke like that it means you condone such behavior.

If anything he is trying to rebuild his confidence through self talk but putting down others isnt healthy. On 1/23/2019 at 9:40 PM, LeGOATski said: I mean, he already voiced his frustrations multiple times and indirectly blamed his o-line (deservedly so). You're expecting him to publicly voice displeasure with the coaches, I guess? There's consequences if you're late to the bus. I would expect McDermott to hold every player to the same standards, regardless of vet/superstar status. Why do you think the coach wouldn't do that? "Schoolboy him" was an odd choice of words. Captains should be held to a higher standard.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 10 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Why any game? Has he ever missed a bus before? WEO you're really not making sense here. If someone habitually is on time for things, and then one time is late, does that somehow make it more likely to be an agenda or a gesture, rather than, you konw, a mistake? Even habitually on time people are late sometimes.
JohnC Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 11 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Why any game? Has he ever missed a bus before? Why are you so fixated on this one reported tardiness? Even if it was done out of frustration or pique it was a one time incident. The HC dealt with it and he accepted the symbolic punishment in an adult fashion. The incident and punishment were handled/discussed in a face to face meeting with the boss (HC) and him coming to an understanding. The HC wanted to make the point that everyone on the roster from top to bottom was going to be held accountable. And the person involved in the minor violation accepted the fact that he was in the wrong and the punishment was warranted. When all is said and done this minor infraction was handled well by all the parties involved.
