Explain Woods, Hogan and Goodwin success since leaving?

 

Their production isn’t too far off from how they performed in Buffalo, except for Goodwin who rededicated himself to football.

 

Zay, on the other hand needs to show that he can play WR first.  There was little doubt that the other 3 were bona fide WRs.

There was so much talent in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the 2017 draft.   This is the type of pick that really makes the current regime look a lot like what we have had here before.

That was a Whaley pick  ????

 

No Whaley was absolutely not at fault.

 

The his WR coach in Eastern Carolina Phil McGeoghan recommended him and they actually hired the coach as well to work with him dumping a good WR coach already on staff.  He was not able to raise Jones' game and that is not surprising considering his NFL resume.  The coach was allowed to look for a new job before being fired.

 

Wikipedia on coach - only reason why Jones gets a mulligan. 

As coach:

I feel like we are right back to the Rex Ryan days...Only past Week 1 and I feel like we are watching a friggin soap opera again.  I can tolerate a losing season because I understand the nature of a rebuild but I can't take another laughing stock of the NFL season yet again :(

 

I don't think anything will ever be as bad as the Rex years.  But I do think McDermott is having difficulty.  He is only in his second year and he's not been given much talent to work with.  I'm not holding anything against Zay Jones for the week 1 game.  However, KB most certainly did not play hard.  The QB situation has been horribly mishandled for the second season in a row.  But his career is still young and I am still hoping for the best.

I was exaggerating a bit for the sake of trying to be somewhat sarcastic because I think McDermott is much more business than Rex ever was.  But i think to a degree his inexperience might be catching up to him because of the way some things have been mishandled.  And don't think for a minute just because nobody has come out and said anything that the Veterans in the locker room  aren't extremely frustrated right now.  McBeane continued to preach winning now and winning later when in reality it's clear they are going for a full tear-down rebuild and that's the kind of stuff that make players lose trust in a coach.  I'm just nervous about how everything is going to play out this season. I can already sense alot of frustration from players, McDermott himself, and certainly from the fans point of view.

I anticipate two things this season/postseason.  A lot of losses followed by a lot of turnover.  And the players who are frustrated will likely be the ones leaving.  As long as Allen gets his experience and stays healthy, it's forward progress, in my book.  Bills will get younger and better in 2019.

I love that the players and the players’ families are in the wrong instead of the dorks who just spend their time criticizing a 22 year old.  I wanted JuJu and think Zay has been bad.  But honestly, what does Jerry Sullivan know about football?  That nerd has never played a sport in his life.  He is just a miserable hater who just runs his mouth and hides behind a microphone.  He is a complete coward.  

 

Sports “Journalism “ is such a weird profession.  Guys who were mostly likely dorks who get paid to criticize people who made the top 5% of their profession.

We basically have the same record as we did with Rex and both sides of the ball has regressed.  Rex was a clown who had a much better roster but McDermott deserves a lot of blame for how talentless this team is.

Next draft, we need to interview the players and their parents.

They do.  They interview everyone they can associated with the player.  And I would love for my family to defend me against a dork like Sullivan.

The last thing for people to criticize or highlight is the mental health of a 22-23 year old man.  His parents may be aggressively protective but I cannot stand seeing people throw around terms like "crazy" and "nut."  Mental health is not a joking matter.

Good post.  Also, a general rule I have is never been on Jerry Sulkivan’s Side for anything.  Miserable Milhouse.

I would rather have the St. Brown family drama at this point. At least their whackyness is mainly due to the father only marrying his mother based on selective breeding purposes, and not Twitter wars with fans, and the media. 

 

 

That would have been a great receiver for Allen to grow with.  Of course, we only like slow wrs.

Our society is on a downward spiral when we become interested in what the father of a player said to a media member who tweeted a casual observation after the mother of a player posted a comment about another player who didn’t know where to line up...allegedly. 

 

Society's downward spiral turned even more sharply downward the day twitter was invented.  Worst invention ever.

I feel like this weirdness is ultimately just another strike against a player who's on the total bust fence as it is. Zay is obviously weirdly close with his family and the whole "my son can't do no wrong" entitled mentality is just not good for a kid who fizzled out in his rookie year and may have mental/emotional problems...

 

Hell, on the other hand, imagine if he actually becomes good and what contract negotiations will be like with this support circle?  Nonsense like this is just horribly unprofessional to the point of being toxic in my opinion.

All of y'all criticizing Zay Jones need to stop. And stop comparing him with Ju Ju! Ju Ju has a future HOF QB throwing him the pigskin. Zay has/had a 5th and 6rder trying to play the QB position. Put Zay with Rivers, Rodgers, Brady then evaluate him. Woods, Goodwin, Hogan should be evidence enough to show that a WR is only as good as the QB throwing to him!!

 

Your post sucks. Zay was absolutely awful last year. His drops, catch rate. He was horrible. I'll say they did him no favors this year, but the kid looks like a bum, he tried to jump out a !@#$ing skyscraper and now his dad is going at guys who criticize.

 

Cut him and get over it. He's bad, and he'll never be good with this lack of accountability. It's never been Zays fault and the Bills have played into that.

This has nothing to do with society. We're talking about a dumb football team. If I'm paying attention to the football team, then yea what Zays dad is doing is stupid.

 

It has nothing to do with society. We're on a message board about the Bills and that idiot is going to try to dismiss those comments with how sensitive society is. The only people that care are the !@#$ing 10 of us in this thread.

 

Get a grip on the society bull ****. I'm not a fan of Twitter, don't have one, but that was an awful take.

Much more succinct than I put it. "It's never been Zay's fault" is what I'm picking up from his parents, and what may end up being the fundamental issue here.

That's exactly what I see here. His dad doing this is just absolutely stupid. Luckily for Zay, he isn't big enough of a name to draw attention outside of us on here. And the Bills look so dysfunctional, this is so far down on the list of concerns.

Sometimes I romanticize about the days before twitter and social media. 

 

I commented to someone earlier today: I miss the days when the primary source of news I got in LA about the Bills came from my monthly "Shout" publication.  Now I get to see nuts like Sullivan beg for clicks by trying to have a twitter conversation with the father of a player.

 

They're less NFL and more TMZ.

Cant wait to see Zay lose it out on the field, that will be special. 

 

Why the hell would anyone cheer for something like that?

 

Some of you have lost your freaking minds.

The only thing st Brown has is Being 6’5 and fast

 

he has average to below average hands. They aren’t strong so he drops a lot of contested balls. And he plays way smaller than his size

Twitter is like a corn-laden turd on top of a pile in a porta-potty. It’s uber-****ty and like it or not, it is a blight on civil society and discussion .

That my friend is one of the most graphic, descriptive, and funny analogies I have ever read.  I'm still repeatedly swallowing to keep the coffee and bagel down in my stomach!!
