Trade McCoy......
Murphy has looked like a #1 RB.
Why would we trade McCoy? I’m my opinion, unless we get a kings ransom, it would be pointless.
What would you be happy with in return for McCoy?
I agree Murphy looked great, but I see no upside to trading Shady.

Worried about our WR. Sensing a theme here:
Allen has Mo Porter at LT (gulp) and James as LG. They both contribute to a gummed-up run through the middle. Cam Phillips has a drop on a perfect ball that would’ve netted 15 yards, Allen throws too low to Cadet, but he catches it on the sideline, Khari Lee drops Allen’s next pass (shades of Wyoming), though there’s a flag on the offense. With 19 yards to go and 3rd down, Allen runs a 4-wide play, choosing to throw it to the under route to Ray-Ray –who drops it. Allen ends his 11-on-11 with a ball way out in front of Ray-Ray. Not all Allen’s fault, but he gets 1 out of 4. Still a bit early to buy your playoff tickets.
I'd say "camp fodder" but for the reports on Clay and Benjamin and of course last year's record of Zay "jump for Jesus" Jones
I thought when Allen got to the pros, this would not be the same issue. Get someone that can catch a damn ball!
The Wyoming comment really smacked me in the face.....yikes!

Shazier was treated well by Pittsburgh, buy despite being a millionaire, you feel no sympathy for him?
They are lucky, but being an entrepreneur has nothing to do with the value they bring or what they deserve.
It's utterly irrelevant.
When we start to feel sympathetic for millionaires because the billionaires won’t pay them more money, I’m not sure that anything is relevant.
Theres a lot of hate directed towards the people with most of the money. The billionaires should give more to the less fortunate millionaires? How will they sleep at night?

Is the average career at your job more than 3.3 years? If it isnt, you are comparing apples and oranges.
I’m going to try not to go on a rant here but every time this topic comes up I get frustrated. These guys generate billions and billions of dollars. In every industry the revenue generators make money. I’m in commercial insurance and get paid more than my support staff. That’s the way that the real world works.
The average NFL career is 3.3 years and they have minimal guarantees. If you get hurt and are a fringe guy you aren’t going to be in the league. This whole notion of “they don’t deserve it because they are millionaires” is nonsense. If your company generated billions of dollars a year the top people would be paid accordingly.
The way I see it, their careers will last possibly as long as mine. It seems more and more players are starting businesses. If you think they DESERVE to get paid like that, then let’s just agree to disagree. They still have opportunities to work in a different career. And now that they are millionaires, and/or have “celebrity” status, they have more doors opened that were not available when they didn’t have money or unrecognizable.
They are grown men getting paid to be lucky genetically, work hard in a gym, and toss a ball around.
The argument that the players make their employers billions and therefore should get paid more, is a moot point. I work for a very large car dealership that generates a very large amount of money annually. I want a larger cut too, but so does everybody. People just want more, more, and then some more.
I don’t think they should make half as much as they do now.
It it seems that people just get mad at the owners for being successful. Some people would like to tell others how to distribute ones cash.

It’s all perspective. If you place it on a pedestal, it may seem fake.
So with pro sports being fake life and all, I think all pro athletes should be paid an annual salary of 895 million red m&m’s, 37 packages of ding dongs, and a coupon for half off of purchases of $50 or more at Red Robin.

There is too little organization and too much confusion and misinformation for this problem to be solved any time soon. Too many people think that players are paid well enough when a few are (starters) and most aren't (backups and practice squad).
You don’t think backup players make enough money??? Why don’t you come work with me and you can do my job and I’ll sit back, because you’re better than I am, and I’ll become a millionaire riding the bench.
........doesn’t make sense to me either lol

His first year in the league, he had 1,631 rushing yards, averaging 5.1 yards a carry, and 15 TD's (in 15 games).
Shady's BEST year, 2013 with the Eagles, he had 1,607 rushing yards, 5.1 yards a carry, and 9 TD's (in 16 games).Shady has been in the league 9 years, and Elliot's rookie season was arguably better than Shady's BEST season in his prime. Elliot isn't even in his prime yet, so it's crazy to think what he can do in the future. Unfortunately, Shady's best days are behind him, even if he can stay productive a couple more years.
Zeke missed 6 games last season, and STILL had 983 rushing yards & 7 TD's...Shady played in all 16 games and had 1,138 rushing yards & 6 TD's. Zeke had 269 receiving & 2 TD's while Shady had 448 & 2 TD's. Again...he played 6 less games.
And the Bills had the #1 rushing offense in 2015 & 2016, and was #6 last year, so let's not act like we haven't had ample blocking, or that somehow our scheme doesn't suit runners as well as Dallas. We both have a top tier RB, and both teams focus on rushing.
Lastly, Zeke is 22 years old, Shady is 30. I'd take Zeke over Shady easily. Shady is still my favorite RB in the league (unless the accusations prove to be true), but in terms of production & potential, especially the next few seasons? Zeke every time.Before this goes any further, thanks for putting in some effort.
I think Zeke is good runner. I think he had a great rookie season. I also think McCoy is a generational talent. His elusiveness and awareness make him special beyond his yardage in my opinion.
Having a rookie QB break out on the scene the way Prescott did, definitely had an effect on the amazing rookie year by Zeke. No defenses had tape on Dak and therefore had to scramble and figure out this double headed monster the cowboys were fielding.
In Buffalo, McCoy was the only star shining at least half as bright as they should, on offense. He was the premier back in a system where opposing defenses knew there wasn’t a QB on the field who could actually throw, and McCoy still plowed through and gave his all for the team. When McCoy was in Philly he had a great team around him and put up some great numbers too. In my opinion, you couldn’t ask for more than what Shady has provided for his team, regardless of said team.
I don’t see Zeke having the same career or imprint on the game, as McCoy has. Two more solid seasons and I’d be willing to bet McCoy is a HOFer. I just don’t see Zeke getting there with what he’s shown to date.

From my understanding, the Giants were 2-9 and the season was over. They weren't going anywhere with Manning (I guess they felt at the time) so they wanted to see what they had in Davis and Smith. Davis, I can understand since he was drafted just the year before. Never understood playing Smith....
Thank you for clearing that up, I appreciate it.
In that instance, you might as well try the Smiths and Petermans of the world.
I understand the Bills were in the playoff race, unlike when the Giants decided to try, but Tyrod had to be given a message and the team had to try something else.
4 minutes ago, No Place To Hyde said:At least to me benching Eli wasn't the worst of it. It was replacing him with Geno when they had a young QB they could have taken a hard look at in live action.
We know what Geno is. If a move was made with an eye to the future in a lost season...that I could have been ok with. Starting Geno over Webb at that point is about the dumbest move he could have made.
Lol agreed. Actually made me chuckle

But wouldn't a good OC know that replacing Manning with Geno is a dumb move? I would think anyone associated with football would know replacing Manning with Geno Smith is a dumb move.....
My line of thinking is a comparison to an NHL goaltender. In almost every conceivable way, the starter will be better and you would never bench him for a half rate bottom feeder, who is currently riding the bench. Not all backups are terrible, but some are.
Replacing any QB named Manning with any QB named Smith does not sound like a good idea initially, but when you look at the specific reason that a change may occur, a Smith may get put in.
Not a dumb move in some cases

And that's a terrible HC move which he was terrible at. He was a good coordinator.
He improved the offense after taking over for Gilbride.
Maybe that’s a similar case to pulling Tyrod mid season. And I for one, was totally behind the benching of Tyrod, regardless of who was 2nd string. When a guy needs to be pulled, so be it.
I haven’t paid much attention to the Giants other than hating on Odell any chance I get. Eli over Geno every time.......unless Eli needs to be benched, like some starters occasionally do.
Was the benching warranted?

Lol I think it's about right, although based off those metrics, it kind of makes sense.
They're not counting QB's or offensive lines, so that's how we're somehow ranked ahead of Dallas. We have Shady, they have Elliot, so they technically edge us out there. But at least we have ONE above average WR, while they have nobody. Also, at TE we have Clay while they lost Witten, and as the article says, the 4 TE's they have vying for his spot have a combined 94 career yards 0_0
Soooo, in terms of just talent at skill positions, we're at least ahead of 3 other teams
Zeke over shady? Nah

LOL at the players getting paid a lot...they don't get paid near enough for the risks they take and how shot their careers are. I'd like to see football players get paid the same as baseball and basketball players. Maybe more.
I’d like to see them get paid like hockey players.
Theyre playing a game and keeping their bodies in great shape. Does that warrant $5-30 million a year?
Maybe you should look up how much important people make, just a suggestion. What about the mayor of your town, president of the U.S., the bus driver that drives our kids to and from school?
In your opinion, why do they deserve to make even more than they already do?
Im sure it’s obvious, but I’m also not a fan of how much baseball and basketball players make. A bunch of loud mouthed jocks are not anywhere near important enough to society to justify their ridiculous paychecks.

I've mentioned this before. If my employees knelt down peacefully for 45 seconds(longer if Aretha Franklin singing) before work started, I wouldn't care. So you are not entirely correct.
I don’t even think this needs a response but you perhaps misread a previous statement.
While off the clock, be my guest to kneel during any event or at any time.
Hell, do it at work and get fired for all I care.
The players act like they’ve done nothing wrong because it’s a good cause to support.
Its a fact they have no rights to freedom of speech at work.

Cover1 breaks down Allen's last drive against the Panthers
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
It really sounds like you're the one that has a bias towards Allen. He threw a TD that basically no other qb is gonna make, in an insanely tight window, into double coverage.
Yea, he really shouldn't have got that TD. He should've thrown it away since he didn't see the open man. Who needs points?
