You were SO right about Wilson.

 

I was SO wrong. 
 

He’s going to be an elite WR very soon if his qb play allows it. 

He looks really good so far. The Jets are a good QB and maybe another WR away from being a really, really good team.

Complaining about targets? Really?

 

 

He's always seemed pretty open on this podcast so I don't think he's lying, he probably shouldn't have said it like this, but he's always kind of been like this. He probably actually should be asking for the ***** ball, because that's what playmakers do and if he's open and we're not moving down the field say something.

Guessing McK didn’t actually use the word ‘malaise’:

He still doesn't get it!! What does being open have to do with catching the damn ball??

He has that dog in him. Always reminded me of a fast twitch Diggs

Yeah… imagine having your every move criticized and not taking it personally.

 

Damn these football players for being more human than robot!! 

You know what I mean.

 

As a pro athlete you have to know you can't live on Twitter and get heated over Joe Schmoe's hot take.

Dunne asks him how he plans to approach his desire to be more involved. He doesn’t take accountability for maybe why that’s not happening. Actually low key blames Josh for not seeing him. Hello - He does not trust you to catch the ball, my man.

He denies that it affects him or that he cares, but it’s obvious that it does

Catch the ball when thrown to you!!

He's probably entering DGAF mode when it comes to speaking out, knowing he won't be with the team next year

I do. 
 

But there’s something ironic about people on a message board who discuss every little thing a player (person) does in their public life, shaming players for having emotions. 
 

Not singling you out… the whole concept is funny to me.

For your viewing pleasure…

 

 

 

He said if they win the SB this year he is done...said he has made a lot of money, played 8 years in the NFL, would have won the SB...said there is nothing else to do for him and he wants to go out on his terms instead of someone else's terms.  Can just listen to the last 5 minutes for this part...

 

Also said he will  probably drink alcohol and do some drugs for the first time in his life after he retires 😂

He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. 
 

Man oh man… I’d love for people here to actually be under a microscope like this. It’s taxing. 
 

I know athletes who have to turn their phone off because of the number of notifications they get during the day… I have friends whose parents are coaches and see the tweets about how their “Dad should be hung in the streets” because of a blocked punt. 
 

You say it doesn’t get to you because you’re trying to do the right thing… but it’s ridiculous to believe that these comments don’t add up and impact people.

He caught 9 passes against NE 2 weeks ago...then follows it up with dropping a lot of passes thrown to him the next week...

 

Have to be consistent.  He doesn't get the ball because Allen doesn't know if he can count on him to catch it when he throws it to him.

Right.

 

And he says he won't ask for the ball more, but he goes on this podcast and asks for the ball more.

I hope McDermott sees this and benches him again!! He's taking NO ACCOUNTABILITY for this. Rather see Hines take his minutes

It’s always amazed me that so many do.  
 

At least he hasn’t a pulled a Lamar Jackson.. yet.  
 

Fwiw, he seems like a great teammate who works hard, but I don’t get the vibe that football is his life (relatively speaking).. I would think that would make it easier to handle criticism from the most toxic place on earth, but maybe not.

JA does not seem to want to throw his way - possibly the same for Gabe Davis.  In a captain obvious way, it’s evident from the moves the Bills have made with Brown and now Beasley that they are not happy with McKenzie and possibly Davis.

 

To me, Davis is probably best suited as an “off the bench” change of pace player and not the full time #2.  Absolutely not a #1.  Lil Dirty is only gadget player and probably not on the roster in a Bills uni next year.

[Joe Ferguson forever]

on rewatching the game, I was surprised he didn't get more out of the reverse.  Watching tyreek hill return that fumble, i wonder what he would have gotten out of that play.  maybe mckenzie is not as fast as he thinks.
