He's not hurt. Probably just frustrated. O well he really doesn't offer anything. Let's see what Stevenson can do.

 

Really love the decisions to bench Moss Butler and McKenzie. McDermott hopefully sending a message that sucking *** won't be acceptable.

Love them too, only JAG Harry should be joining them. Most deserving is McKenzie after that kickoff debacle.

Hoping this does not backfire.

Fringe guys gotta bring the juice.  They didnt so try someone who can.  Like the the big bodies inside being active.  NO will look to run alot.  Stop the run stop the Saints.

Curious, I heard from several sources that McD is only loyal to his picks and won't ever consider change. Odd. 

Stephenson was a pick McKenzie wasn't, not that I don't agree with your point.

[Scott7975]

Seems too harsh.  Don't like it.  McD better hope Stevenson isn't the Peterman of his position.

So which came first the chicken or the egg.  Is he out for the season because of partying or was he partying because he already knew he was out?  Sounds like the latter??  Though hard to believe the season.

I think the latter. Not sure why he said that but he says some goofy stuff 

[Matt_In_NH]

McKenzie saying this is for the season?   Sounds like there was a discussion.

Because he knows they are going to bench him for the rookie they drafted to replace him. He gave them an excuse to make the move and they did.

Keep playing Cody Ford tho...

Ford has never fumbled the ball😂

[Einstein]

I love this.

 

Strongly agree in sending a message - If that is what this is.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Love McKenzie, but he’s a gadget player first who is very close to 30, and on a one year deal.

I guess we'll see.

[RaoulDuke79]

I have no clue why he would say "out for season" whether it's true or not, these dudes need to stay off social media. 

[GETTOTHE50]

Good. Happy McD has done something. That fumble was uncalled for.

What about the accountability for McD for his own work? It’s been horrific this season so far. 

[letsgoteam]

Count me as one of the top members of the McKenzie fan club. I know I have a few others on the board that are big fans too. 

 

It's a little frustrating because I don't think they used him at all in the right ways this year. 

 

The fumble sucked last week but come on, they've had Andre Roberts for several seasons, the Bills knew what they were getting into by making him full-time KR/PR.

 

Granted I'm sure this me over reacting but it's like he's not allowed to do anything he's done in the past because he is the "starting" returner.

When it falls on the administratiob this is what you see. They bench players with minimal impact rather than players who actually matter who have been bad but don't have good replacements because other people in management suck at their job. Then they call it accountability even though there have been other people who are way more culpable for the issue still playing and coaches who have done a terrible job preparing the team still collecting checks.

 

Congrats McKenzie and Butler etc, you are the scapegoats and the last gasp because if this doesn't work then actual introspection will be required.

Raise your hand if you think Isaiah McKenzie has been what's wrong with this offense.

McK is obviously sending a message since his mistake effectively ended the game for us against the Colts. 

 

Not sure why you're defending Butler as he's been absolute butt cheeks out there.
