JMF2006 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 He needs the jewelry for his fragile ego. They acted like they had just won the Super Bowl after that catch. They then went on a 3 game losing to fall to 6-6 and pretty well play their way out of the playoff race. Mean while the Bills were pissed and took it personally and didn`t lose again until the AFCCG. Maybe this becomes the highlight of his career 3

Looks like the kind of dousche who would get a taunting penalty after scoring a touchdown in garbage time down 30 points. The Homer Simpson(John Elway) TD in the Super Bowl to make the final 56-7 1 1
SirAndrew Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 It’s definitely very silly, but the whole diva receiver thing still rings true. Hopkins is a talent on the field, and the effort always seems to be there. That’s all I’d care about as a teammate. These are just the type of things that get fans fired up. It’s a good thing no NFL team has an average Joe in charge of player personal. They’d probably trade Hopkins for David Johnson because he’s a “diva”. 1
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 He was a receiving monster in the first half of the season, but he lost steam as the season went along with 5 games of 55 yards or less. Get a chain. Nobody cares, you’re another year older and not on a team that is ascending. 1

Cemetary though? 🙄 I could get tired of this guy I would sya he worked pretty hard. He got 1400+ yards out of Kyler Murray...
BillsFan4 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Hopkins can celebrate that play all he wants, but he looks like a fool for doing it. If that’s the highlight of his career, that’s actually kind of sad because it was a meaningless play in the grand scheme of things. Arizona lost 3 straight games after the “hail Murray” and 5 of the last 7 games of the season... His team went .500 while the team with Hyde, Poyer and White went 15-4, won the AFCE and went to the AFC championship. So glad we got Diggs instead of Hopkins! 1

Wish he was an exception but becoming a trend in all sports. And KM is absolutely not a top 10 QB. I don’t necessarily fully disagree, but does being a me guy always make someone a bad teammate? Only his teammates in Houston could really answer that. I’ve always seen a guy who puts in maximum effort, and stays out of trouble. Egotism is part of the human experience, and I almost expect it from guys who reach the highest level of their profession. Some people are more egoistical than others, but it only matters if it interferes with their ability to be a positive teammate imo.
Coach Tuesday Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Bad form, but it was legit one of the greatest football plays of all-time. 1
without a drought Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Makes sense to me, a chain with the 3 guys he beat on what ended up being a almost meaningless play in the grand scheme of things. And a cemetery to signify the death of the cardinals season. 1

As for Hopkins, great talent. But something about him is off. Glad they got Diggs instead. 1

DHop making a chain to remember a play he made in the 10th regular season game while his team went 8-8 says it all to me. I’ll take our guy standing watching the AFC title ceremony as motivation to take souls next year over that all day. 1 2

Whoa . You are implying that Kyler Murray isn't any good as a passer? But I read here that he is a stud and that he is actually 5'10" . 1

As far as Hopkins himself, very talented WR, but I’m not a fan of his personality. He comes off as so smug and cocky. I noticed this during his press conference after making the catch. Funny this was his quote afterward. He said something like those “those guys made a great play but not as great as I.” Just thought this was funny because most people learn to master possessive nouns at about 10 years old In the end this play has more of a pair ice effect for the Bills that the Cardinals. Rumor was - it was Jack Easterby who wanted to get rid of Hopkins Uh . . . "as great as I" is correct. You can tell because it sounds right if you add "am" at the end: "as great as I am." You would never say "... as great as me am" (I hope). Everybody who says "as great as me" is wrong. There are no possessive nouns in the quote you give. Not that it's a big deal. Everybody makes mistakes, and this stuff doesn't really matter compared to important things, but it just happens to be my job. Edited January 30, 2021 by Dr. K 1 1

He's only in his 2nd year. We've had front row seats to see a QB improve from his 2nd to 3rd year.

Mean while the Bills were pissed and took it personally and didn`t lose again until the AFCCG. Maybe this becomes the highlight of his career Dion Dawkins had a good take on it in the Player's Tribune: Quote We saw Arizona celebrating on the field, after the Hail Mary. And it was just something about it, man. It was the way they were running around, hooting and hollering, like they’d won the damn Super Bowl. It was something about that. I think for whatever reason, that just struck this chord with us. Not because we were annoyed with them or anything. They won, they can celebrate how they want. Nah. It was more like: We looked at them. And then we looked at us. And I think we just had this moment of, Alright — hold up. If they’re fired up like they won the Super Bowl….. why aren’t we upset like we lost the Super Bowl? And I think that’s when it hit us. It hit us that things are different now. It hit us that this team, our team, these Buffalo Bills — we’ve moved on to a different place. Like, with all due respect to the Cardinals: I think they're in a similar spot now to where we were these last few seasons. Just trying to claw and make the playoffs with an up-and-coming roster. Whereas, for us? It’s not like that now. We’re taking the long view. Every game isn’t the Super Bowl for our team. The Super Bowl is the Super Bowl for our team. Or at least that’s what we’re working toward. And like I said, it was this crazy outcome, this crazy thing that happened. But after we saw their celebration, I think we just kind of took a deep breath, and found some perspective about it. Like, Alright, ha — we’ll give them this one. Time to take our Bye now, and hit reset, and come back strong to fry some bigger fish. And I absolutely love that about our team. It’s like, that whole week, everyone on the outside was yappin’ in the media about this “collapse” of ours, and how we “blew” our “big chance,” and “it’s more bad luck for the Bills,” and “the AFC East is up for grabs.” Meanwhile..... we’d moved on!! We were just tuning it all out, and getting right. 1
