Might be the worst trade of the decade. oh he’s a beast. people thought I was knocking diggs or being moody about the bills when I said I thought the cards got the better deal. It wasn’t a knock at all-I like our move a ton. Just the Hopkins deal was crazy, as you note.
ghostwriter Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Bills desperately need an impact player on defense...someone with fire and intensity...I don’t care if it’s a CB or a LB or a DT or a DE or a safety but we need someone out there who can play..
The Frankish Reich Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 My $ .02 -- I thought the Bills defense did everything right on that last drive. 34 seconds to go 75 yards. My biggest fear was that Kyler would peel off a 40 yard scramble to get them in range; they contained him. They completed short passes up the middle. We had them with no timeouts and a chance for a quick out and a shorter Hail Mary, or two Hail Marys. He only needed one. Electric young talent at QB (we're lucky that Josh is one of the few others who could've pulled this off), probably the best receiver in the world on the other end -- the same guy who killed us in Houston last year did it again. Great playmakers making great plays. It doesn't bother me at all. What does bother me is abandoning the running game, particularly to start the second half with the empty backfield on the first series. Why?
tbonehawaii Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Saying we got dunked on. Classy. It was a lucky catch. That’s why the call it a Hail Mary. Hyde almost knocked it down. The end. 1 1
Big Turk Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 It wasn't lucky, he makes those types of plays a lot...he high points the ball and beings it down in traffic. Normally not in a Hail Mary situation but he has caught the ball and scored with White draped all over him when he was with the Texans too... Just a great play by a great player. It happens. It wasn't a playoff game, we still are alive. 1 1
BillsCuse Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 It sucked, but hopefully The Bills got this sh!t luck out of their out of their system. Better now than in the playoffs
The Firebaugh Kid Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 I bet his dreads smell like nag champa. He's got some thickies. Great play for him tho. Still hate his guts. Hes got it out for us. 1
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Cal said: They are a lot shorter than Hopkins. That's why. McDermott should of put Davis or Knox back there. Bad coaching. The problem with that is Davis is still a rookie so not sure I'd want to trust him that he doesn't get called for interference or something. Not certain I'd trust Knox there either as he's big, but use to more a TE role where you can knock people around some. The other issue I'd have with using an offensive player in that situation is that with 11 seconds it's not likely the last play so still have to worry about throwing a 25 yard pass completion and going out of bounds as likely could be a wide open receiver as you just basically gave up one player by putting him back there. If that had been an incompletion and now there's 2 seconds left, then I'd put him back there.
OZBILLS Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 They win, we lose. To the victor go the spoils
Rc2catch Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Don’t be salty. Guy just made the play of the year for his team. It’s not like he disrespected the team or the fans. He made a helluva play let him live a little 1
KRT88 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 The guy made an incredible play. It is what it is. No need to lose class over an athlete just balling out.
wvbillsfan Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 He’s gotten us twice. Playoffs last year and today.
JoPoy88 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Not quite sure I’d characterize his catch as pure luck. He’s an all-pro receiver and timed his jump and catch perfectly. He may have been the beneficiary of some luck if you believe poyer diving back into Tre impeded White’s chance to break it up.
Andy1 Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Ok, out of curiosity I looked up the combine stats Hopkins vs White. Hopkins: wingspan 80”, vertical leap 36”, height 73” White: wingspan 76”, vertical leap 32”, height 71” Advantage Hopkins 1
MAJBobby Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) He is the best WR in the game. And that is not disrespect to Diggs or our WRs just reality. And to think he was shipped off for a RB and a 2nd lol. That trade should have got BoB fired immediately Edited November 16, 2020 by MAJBobby 4
