[The Wiz]

Thought it was interesting as Lil Dirty is still one of our guys.  Really interesting to know what happened there.

Personally, I dont see him as one of our guys.   I see him as a guy who talks better than he plays football.   Without question one of the guys who added to the hit piece on McDermott.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I did some lurking in Colts fan spaces and the rumor is the two were involved in a pretty nasty bar fight last week.

Wow.  If true he really dropped the ball on his career.

Isaiah was always a bit of a lose canon, I can definitely see him saying something stuipd, counter productive.

The McKittrick haterz gonna love this!

[KDIGGZ]

In a league where you can abuse women, assault men, and pretty much be a terrible human being and not miss more than a game or 2, what could they have done to be kicked off the team for the season? I bet if they were better players they would still be on the field

Isaiah was like a low level Josh Allen scat back returner....he could make great plays and also have bone headed drops and stupid plays.

It isn’t clear what happened behind the scenes, but it explains why both players were healthy scratches during the Week 15 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I agree and I liked McKenzie.  I think he focused too much on his mouth and is brand rather than accepting corrections and becoming a better player.

His trying to break the wall and talk to the fans with complaints about Bills hurt him in Bills front office.

He is a unique talent - see Cheaters game and him playing Lemar Jackson in practice - but it is very hard for him to stay focused.

You left out break a child’s arm…,

Any way we could get them to say Gabe Davis was there?

He wouldn't land any punches but Joe Brady would say he was the most valuable player in the bar

He was going to join them but he ran the wrong route and ended up at a Chilis

Those are league suspensions; this is a team suspension. Apparently, Irsay has established a higher standard of behavior than that of the NFL. 🙂

Hey Gave was going to be there but wound up going to the wrong place.

 

When he called later, he was told to drop it.

[Kincaid Kool-Aid]

He had plenty of conduct detrimental to the team here too if you count drops, fumbles, boneheaded decisions or outright disappearing most of the time when we needed him to step up.

[BuffaloBillyG]

Dude has had a rough season.

 

1. 1st day of FA tweets out "C'Mon Beane do something" 

2. Beane signs his replacement first thing. 

3. Gets released. Says he's looking for an opportunity. 

4. Signs with Colts

5. Gets beat out for starting slot spot by Downs.

6. Now, Suspended by team.

No I bet this was pre-emptive strike before any of the news surfaced.

Irsay with high standards. That made me laugh. Irsay IS high. 

 

All I know is, somebody has coal coming in their stocking!

McKenzie was good enough to carve out a little niche and get rich off of football. Still, in comparison to the rest of the guys in the NFL, he's nothing special. This might speed him up into the restaurant business full time now, even in the fall. 

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

Wild speculation on my part, but is there any chance they were placing bets on games? And the Colts wanted to get the jump on the NFL suspending them?

Restaurants are a great way to turn a big pile of NFL money into some spare change in your pocket. I wish him well, but the retired banker in me says please be wise.

Bar fight in Indianapolis. Based upon my experience as a Pacers' fan, it was at Club Rio or the 8-Second Saloon. I just wanna know if Jamaal Tinsley was in town.

I know about Irsay's antics. I thought the smiley face would make it obvious that I was joking about his higher standard of behavior.

Mac was a nice WR4/5 gadget player when he was here but this team needed to move on. He really seemed to enjoy being here and he made a few plays here or there. I remember in 2021 when the Bills played New England away in a must game for the division and he balled out.

 

But the team needed to move on and get Shakir more opportunities and make room for Kincaid and two TE sets. Mac hasn’t done much in Indy this season probably will sign on here next year as a PS veteran guy.

[John from Riverside]

Wish him the best

With the likelihood that McKenzie was a source for the hit article on McDermott, the chances of the Bills giving McK a PS slot seem slim. He's a talented guy in a league full of talented guys that don't rock the boat.  Only the true superstars get to be jerks and still keep playing, until they fade into being merely really good, at which point they're expendable too.

That's what happens to Tyler Dunne's sources, they get run out of the league, see Whaley.

It’s that kind of organization, they want everything just right from top to bottom! Remember the snap count, wear your socks at the proper height, and don’t leave a dirty bong behind. They demand perfection. 🤷‍♂️

He was not moved out for Shakir or Kincaid.  Kincaid was not even signed.  The Bills let him go because they overpaid Hardy.

Hey now, Dougie was the VP of the XFL!

[JohnNord]

People are making jumps that this was related to gambling or drug use - if this were the case the suspension would be coming from the league.  
 

My first guess is that these two got into some kind of fight but would that warrant a 3 game suspension in the middle of a playoff push?  
 

Hopefully we find out what happened here
