Bills DC Dennis Thurman calls refs a ‘disgrace to the NFL’
McCoy is obviously still upset about how his time with the Eagles ended, with coach Chip Kelly trading him to the Bills. He also seemed to be talking trash to safety Malcolm Jenkins after a tackle and with linebacker Kiko Alonso after Alonso matched up with McCoy in coverage on a pass that went incomplete into the end zone.
Despite the hickup Bradford believes he and the Eagles as a team are playing well but they can give more and get even better.
Last we checked, this was a team game, and beating Philadelphia should have been all about keeping Buffalo’s playoff hopes alive.
The reunion is history now and LeSean McCoy has returned to Buffalo, doing so after an emotional return to his previous home of six years.
It was an anticlimax for McCoy, who after 63 yards rushing in the first half finished with just 74 yards.
LeSean McCoy knelt and kissed the massive Eagles logo at midfield on his way to the coin flip. “But when people make up false stories about me calling someone during the week and them hanging up on me, I just think people are trying to get Twitter hits and things like that and make themselves significant when stuff doesn’t happen”. Anytime you can mention knee and Bradford in the same sentence without the words anterior cruciate ligament is a good thing. “It’s very simple. I told those guys that sometimes they don’t see in them what we see in them”.
“Yeah, we have [used pushups in practice], and we don’t make them [in practice]”, Ryan said after Sunday’s loss to the Eagles. “We all know what’s going on, man”, Boobie Dixon said. “He’s just been playing in our system for months”. Filling in for injured Nolan Carroll, Rowe got burned by Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson time and again in the holiday shellacking. Way too many times the pocket collapsed on Taylor, and if it didn’t there was probably a holding call.
The Eagles led 20-13 in the third quarter when a 19-yard touchdown run by backup running back Mike Gillislee tied it up. At this point, Mills may be the better option because he does have 31 National Football League starts and he’s familiar with offensive line coach Aaron Kromer’s techniques because he played for Kromer in Chicago.
If there was any doubt about the Bills needing to upgrade the offensive line in the offseason it was erased today.
-The Bills’ problems in the return game continued in Philadelphia.
Thigpen began the year as the punt returner, but after a slow start he was released and replaced by free agent Moore. In between, McKelvin came off the physically unable to perform list and he handled punts for a couple games. Taylor completed a first-down pass for 32 yards down the middle. “Sammy Watkins also performed pretty well when targeted, which as usual, just wasn’t enough”. He has five touchdown passes and only one interception in his last four games.
Later, Kelly disputed a published report that he’d tried to call McCoy last week, but that the running back hung up the phone.
-Tight end Charles Clay suffered a back injury in the second quarter and did not return. CB Stephon Gilmore (dislocated shoulder) is expected to miss his second straight game….
The Bills took specific issue with a Zach Ertz 41-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter, set up by what they believed was an illegal pick by WR Josh Huff. Minutes earlier Brent Celek had the ball wrestled away at the 5 of the opposition, although it was ruled an interception.
