Colin Cowherd at it again

Diggs was also our "first round draft choice" in 2020.

 

 

He was and I am obviously fond of Diggs but I do also think that the Vikings are happy with that trade. 

[benderbender]

Just wait until his exposé on McDermott's handling of Diggs on tomorrow's show. Sprinkle in his court jester's critical prods due to his Jets fandom and it will be an awful show to listen to. Full of "Andy Reid would never" and "Offensive coaches know better."

Thanks, I would like to read that article. And while I do respect the moves that were made this offseason, I remain just a bit peeved over the years of neglect wrt WRs and the OL.

For the record, I think that you and others will grow to appreciate Damien Harris this season. He is by no means a superstar but between his running, receivng, and his bg time willingness to block, he might be capable of winning us a game or 2. 

Harris interests me.  Motor didn’t exactly get the Big Bucks in FA so they must believe Harris added an element Motor did not - and Motor did fashion himself into a good blocker.  His hands were not what one wished, however.

 

I think overall we agree there has been a lack of quality investments on offense, especially prior to the 2022 season.  And of course doubling down at DE with Creed Humphries on the board pissed me off.

 

But my concern is that the root problem isn’t so much lack of offensive investment as spending what investment there was on the wrong guys

[Straight Hucklebuck]

I don't blame anyone for listening to Cowherd, I did from 2004 until last year.

 

With that said, his show is awful. 

 

Same opinions day after day, same stories, same guests in the same time slots.

 

There is no real knowledge being shared.

 

He's a normal guy who watches some sports on the weekend in California.

His show is awful with no real substance but you listened for 18 years?

That’s the appeal. Cowherd isn’t a click baiter, not a provocateur, nor biased. He speaks intelligently and without a lot of bells/whistles on his show which is refreshing. Bills fans are upset because his points cut deep.

[Nelius]

Lol "Bills fans" eh, Airseven? Letting the veil slip apparently

 

Cowherd is also a serial moron that switches his opinion from one week to the next. He was very much a champion of this McDermott coached team, as recently as picking them throughout the playoffs a whole 5 months ago. 

 

This team rips off a few early wins and his whole rationale will change, as any casual that has listened to this dope for more than two shows would know. He also still sounds like his teeth don't fit.

[BigDingus]

He's not exactly wrong though...

 

We have a lot of money & resources tied up in the defense, even though it might've been better served to invest more in the offense. Trying to be good at everything instead of bolstering your biggest strength might be part of the reason for our failures.

 

We've had a top defense for a couple years now, and we don't have anything to show for it. Chiefs & Bengals have powerful offenses & have met in the AFCCG each of the last 2 years. Their defenses aren't better than ours, so what is it? Some would say their QBs, but I'd say more potent offenses & superior coaching.

He discusses the same 4 topics everyday - Cowboys, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, and a bonus topic is Patrick Mahomes ball washing now that Tom Brady is gone. 

 

Happy you get something out of his show, but I never tuned in to hear positive Bills talk. 

 

He's just an endless loop of the same topics everyday, with none of those creative topics from earlier in his career. 

 

Tell me again Colin how you've moved 7 times, or how great LA is because it's got beaches and mountains.

😅🤣😂 giggles

 

It was good for many years. 

 

There was a drop off when he moved to LA, for instance, the show became a my life in California commercial, but the topics have dried up to a point where the show is on a script. 

 

By the way, Nextmanup, of the National Shows - who is good? Should I be listening to Jay Will, Key and Max, and Max's obsessions with current best player in the world rankings, maybe I should listen to Dan Patrick and his "yeah, Paulie", "yeah Fritzie", "yeah McLovin", every 4-seconds with a Reggie Miller interview? 

 

You're the expert, so tell me. 

 

Pat Mcafee and the constant laughing? 

 

Maybe I should just listen to Schopp and Bulldog. Mike's brain has shrunk to betting and fantasy and odds making, and Bulldog hasn't left his house in 4-years since COVID and is proud to tell everyone that.

Cowherd is very very clickbait driven he says all sorts of things just to be controversial. He got fired for racial comments in 2015 and while you can chalk that incident up to over sensitivity it wasn’t the only time he stirred up controversy 

You can like Cowherd but to say he is not a sensational driven media type is just not accurate

Hey to say I called it but let’s just say there’s a Cowherd drinking game where you take a shot every time he says “offensive coach” and everyone gets alcohol poisoning.

Yup.  He was a big fan of McD prior to his recent rants. I’m sure he was a big fan when he beat KC in KC last year with a healthy team.  How soon some forget

He's also intelligent, which threatens people who aren't equally intelligent.

 

 

[hondo in seattle]

Cowherd has a show because he's a good talker, not because he has good judgment.

 

I don't value his opinions.  Most of us on TBD know more about the Bills than he does.

This team is SB or bust and has been for a couple years now. Anything less is a disappointment.  Doesnt matter the coach. You can have a good season with lots of regular season wins but at this point anything less than playing in the SuperBowl is a failed season. 

I agree with everything except "doesn't matter the coach."

 

Coach McD had a big hand in the Bills not making a SB appearence the last 2 year's.

Look at the defense for the eagles that let the chiefs score the winning TD and let a player run completely uncovered.

 

Do you blame that on the DC or the HC?

 

Honestly curious.

[Dr.Sack]

Cowherd is a great commentator, but would be a horrible HC / GM.

I don't know enough about how the dynamics of the Eagles coaching staff. 

 

Ultimately, the coach is responsible for the team's play. The DC does deserve scrunity too. 

 

I'd say both to answer your question.

Yeah, and a lot of people confuse being a good talker with knowledge and intelligence. That’s how the show has been so successful, but you can actually hear the same stuff on any sports talk show.
