PromoTheRobot Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 He could always just say 'no comment'. Records are all that matters, Yolo. I'm tired of having excuses for close losses. Every year 'well if this one play, or this injury... we coulda been in!' Sorry it makes me cynical, I'll try to rein it in Saying "no comment" can be taken much worse, like taking the fifth. What are you hiding? Also the Bills are 8-8 and the Eagles are 7-9. So I guess the Bills are better, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 He should say "no comment" because absolutely no one cares anymore, if they ever did. Clearly the media still cares since they keep asking about it, and you clearly still care enough to comment on it in this thread... but carry on.

Anyone who continues to harp on this as if it were an issue wants it to be. And they'll continue pretending it is until they actually watch the interview.

KDIGGZ Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Tell the media to stop asking him about Chip. Problem solved. Yep! They only ask because they want to get some crazy quote from him like "Chip Kelly is a racist." I was hoping ESPN would fire Mike Rodent but getting McCoy to say that was one of the top stories of the year. Now we are stuck with this weasel for another season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Anyone who continues to harp on this as if it were an issue wants it to be. And they'll continue pretending it is until they actually watch the interview. Certainly. It's just funny to hear someone say "no one cares or ever cared about this" when we've had a year's worth of media evidence proving the opposite is true. The moment the trade went through this became a huge story line because the Bills were going to play the Eagles in Philly. Chip vs McCoy is how the game was sold in August... it's just disingenuous to argue otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I commented that I don't care about the story... Sports reporters/media can only deal in cliché and can only report what has already been reported or is known. It's not reflective of what people want to hear about, necessarily--it's them telling us they don't have can't think of anything else to ask.

Beerball Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 lesser talented how? The Eagles were quite talented and even more importantly, completely healthy vs a depleted Bills team. What does that have to do with the interview though?He's comparing the coaches, so that's what it has to do with Rex. This team underperformed, you can use the injury excuse all you like. I was there to personally see Rex lose to Chipper, it wasn't pretty. Of course you can also believe Rex when he says that the problems with the defense are because he adjusted his scheme.

The Big Cat Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Holy cow.. Well, you're also severely underestimating over estimating the critical thinking skills/intelligence of the vast majority of the consuming audience who cares simply because the media is suggesting they should.

The Big Cat Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Not in head to head I was at the game. It was terribly frustrating. I don't think the Bills moved the ball past their own 30 for a good quarter and a half. There was the one severe breakdown on defense (the 50+ TD on 2 & 28), but otherwise, the defense played great and good enough to win. This loss fell squarely on the offense, which was unique as far as 2015 losses went. Edited January 20, 2016 by The Big Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a cliché. I bet the majority of those listening to that interview wouldn't have cared if McCoy wasn't asked yet again about Chip Kelly. It's the intelligence of the sports media we should question, not the average fan. Edited January 20, 2016 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
