Keyvon Seymore? Huh. There’s a name I haven’t thought of in a while.

 

looks like Rachad Wildgoose is out of the league. I remember there was a fuss when he got poached by the Jets.

Oh yeah, the next game-changing running back. Looks like he’s an FA too.

 

I remember there was another running back who we drafted after Karlos Williams left the league, I think he was a Williams too, maybe played for Arkansas? Can’t remember his name.

Ray Ray and Feliciano could wind up with a ring in SF this year.

Dude was good but couldn’t put down a chicken wing. That was his problem

And our head coach is apparently too disconnected from anything offensively speaking that he cannot assist.  

 

 

You’re one angry fellow. Are you ok? I get the feeling someone pisses in your cereal every morning.

I piss in my own, it saves time.  

 

😏😉

 

Hardly angry, I'm one of the least emotional people out there in that way.  Simply not afraid to state the obvious, or what should be obvious.

I have no problem seeing guys go and succeed on other teams, good for them.  Its frustrating when it’s turns out to be a position of need for us though

You don't count 9 sacks as being good?

 

No I count 9 as big.  I meant numbers as in they had to let someone go so he was the odd man out and likely didn't want to sign him to more than 1 year deal based on age.

Bobby trees never played for Micky Ds

 

Robert Woods and Stephon Gilmore both walked the same offseason we brought McD in. Both guys were good in Buffalo and even better after they left. 

 

Maybe Woods was going to walk regardless, but we could've franchise tagged Gilmore. We also butchered the comp pick formula so we didnt even get 3rd rd comp picks out of them.

I was criticized constantly on the old Buffalo Bills message board

 

Because I was adamant Stephon Gilmore was a all pro 

 

But regardless, woods was a stud here but underutilized.... and he got paid 

 

So good for him

Gilmore was the first guy I thought of, but wasn't sure if he counted as McD era.  He's by far the most productive player post-Bills in the last 10 years.   Defensive player of the year, mulitple All-Pro seasons, SB. 

 

I didnt remember that Woods left the same year.  He had a couple outstanding years with the Rams.

Zack Moss

 

And FWIW, here are Moss' and Cooks' numbers thus far this season.  

 

Keep in mind that Moss has played in only four games to Cook's five.  

 

Moss has 89 carries for 445 Yards, 3 rushing TDs, and 24 1st-Downs, a long run of 56, 5.0 YPC, and 111 YPG, 8 catches for 72 Yards, 1 receiving TD, and 517 YFS

 

Cook has 61 carries for 292 Yards, 1 rushing TD, 14 1st-Downs, a long run of 36, 4.8 YPC, and 58 YPG;  14 catches for 140 and 0 receiving TDs, and 432 YFS.  

 

Moss plays with the rookie Richardson on a team that ranked 30th in scoring offense and 27th in yardage offense last season, and is currently 11th in scoring and 12th in yards.  

Cook plays with Allen on a team that ranked 2nd in both scoring and yardage offense last season and which is currently 3rd in scoring and 4th in yardage O.  

 

I have no idea how that doesn't at least to a significant extent relate to coaching.  ... on a side note.
