Lucky to have one of them on the field at a time last year.........but late in the season with the playoffs on the line Woods and Watkins were back healthy and Taylor was hitting them all over the field..........franchise offensive yardage record that day.

This man lost his baby literally hours before the game, still played and remained focused enough to be effective, and THIS is what you go with? Could you possibly put the political / social issue aside for even one moment to recognize the agony of the soul of losing a child in such a horrible way. His wife had to give birth to a DEAD CHILD!! Can you even fathom such a tragedy? If not, please refrain from pointing out your political / social opinion in just this ONE forum related to such a horrendous loss. As Bills fans, sometimes we forget the humanity behind the game and something like this reminds us that as passionate as we all are about wanting to see this team win and revel in their glory of winning, we lose sight of what matters most....I don't know you, but I hope in real life, not behind some keyboard you're better than this.... To Goodwin and his family, I may not have thought you played well while in Buffalo, but football is peanuts compared to the spirit crushing loss that is your own right now...in truest sincerity, I hope his family can grieve and recover as they process the permanent absence of the son they will never hold or know.

Anyway, nice to see some can’t help but inject their precious snowflake opinions into a thread about a soul-crushing loss a recent Bill went through, and the gut-check of a reaction he and all of his teammates experienced after a nice moment on the field mere hours later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flat-out lied about his commitment to football.........if he hadn't he'd have been a late round pick or UDFA.......which would have cost him a lot of money but just importantly it would have meant he had to focus on making a team year-in-and-year-out.......which would have utterly ended his track hopes. Instead he got a long term deal big enough and secure enough to richly support his track training........but small enough to keep him from getting cut. That doesn't matter to a lot of people here because they'd like to do the same.......because they aren't just good or bad people either.........they are more aptly described as self-interested. It's no secret that he mailed it in here.......there were people here who just thought he was a bad football player but he's quite talented, in fact.
