F-ing crazy lol I thought it was something wonky like that

Didnt he win COY like 2 times in the last 4 seasons? I know he definitely won it once where McD got hosed and should have won it that year, but I think he actually won it twice.

Agree, that is why I think he is a great fit too

Odd timing...but he is having Ken call the plays starting this week and that is the plan moving forward. Wonder if it was Stefanski's decision or if it came down from above. I mean just not having the atrocious Watson behind center will make the offense better as that has pretty much happened every time Watson was out really. So with no Watson, the offense could see a boost just on that alone, which when it does its going to make Stefanski look worse as if he was the issue or at least part of the issue. So interesting timing...

Cooper couldn't hold Hopkins jock when Hopkins was in his prime when he was a top 2 WR. But...Hopkins is not in his prime now and is slower than Keon at this point. Hopkins has significantly better hands than Cooper, always has. But we have plenty of guys with great hands on this team, we need someone who can be a threat outside and down the field to compliment this group and that is what Cooper is more than Hopkins today. I hate that Hopkins went to KC though as he fits perfectly there and they got him cheap. But if I had my choice of the 3 here it would still be Cooper. But make not mistake about it...all Coopers career he has been a boom or bust WR on a week to week basis. Of the higher tier WR1's of his era, he may be the most inconsistent of his era on a week to week stand point, and he drops more balls than he should too. So I wouldn't expect Cooper to be some weekly high volume target guy like Diggs was, nor does he need to be. That is the best part about his addition, we just needed more diversity more than we needed a feed this one guy type player. And Cooper is and always has been comfortable in that role as well. Of the 3 that have been traded (Adams, Cooper, Hopkins) - Adams today is still the best WR of the 3, but his alpha mentality where he needs and expects a lot of targets wasn't the best fit, nor was his contract. Cooper is better than what Hopkins is right now, the best fit personnel wise for this roster, and the best price. Hopkins is fine, will be a good add for KC, but he wouldn't have moved the needle as much here as we would still not be a big threat down field give the player he is today. Bills and Beane did very good here and made the right choice IMHO for who was the best fit for this team both as a player and in cost.

Let me preface this first with I was all for trading for him, he’s a good addition to the team in terms of what we need out of him. But here is my honest opinion as to why and I have consistently said this about him for years. Cooper is kind of a more talented Gabe Davis in a lot of ways. He has a few big games a season to make his season totals look good but his other weeks he is meh to MIA. He’s wildly inconsistent on a week to week basis, and he drops a lot more balls than people think. It’s been that way his whole career. Go look at each seasons game logs for his stats each week. You will find majority of his games are not that impressive for a guy who made as much as he did. But he will have 2-3 real big games that total like 30%+ of his season totals and make his season look good when it’s over. The good thing about his stop here is that we don’t need him to have a big game every week the way we can spread the ball around. His presence will help open up more what they can do in other areas of the field.

Yeah I agree it may be too rich for Beane, but I would hope he would at least check in on Myles and see what’s what at least. Landing Myles or Maxx would put us in the drivers seat for the SB out of the AFC IMHO. But I know it’s a long shot And I think you’re right about Bears and Lions being legit spots for either.

Gibbs is maybe the most underrated HC in terms of the all time greats. You always hear about Landry, Lombardi, Walsh, Belichick, Parcells, etc. But Gibbs doesn’t get enough respect in terms of his place in the all time great conversation often enough. IMHO he has a strong case for top 5 HC all time.

The conversation wasn’t 2 firsts. It was 2 firsts, a 2nd, and 4th and a 6th. And then you said it may be more than that. I never said he wouldn’t get 2 firsts. I said he wouldn’t get all of that, especially for a guy who needs surgery. And everyone scoffed at what the Bears gave up for the Mack trade.

Sorry, I meant rating not QBR. I had not checked QBR. Lamar has a 118 QB Rating right now. I just fixed it

There is no doubt that if the season ended today Lamar would win it. But thats also coming fresh off a 5 TD game. I mean he is first in rating, 2nd in QBR, 2nd in TD's, and 5th in Yards all on a run first team to boot. Allen looked terrible in prime time against Lamar, looked even worse the next week in maybe the worst game of his career against Houston, was solid against the Jets and struggled early against the Titans before getting on track later in the game. For Allen to win it now, he is going to have to go on an impressive run and the Ravens are going to need to lose another game or two.

Darnold is 5th in TD's and about to get Hockenson now too as another weapon and he is 7th in QBR. Both stats are significantly better than Stafford this year and he is a fraction of the cost, not to mention the draft pick compensation cost too. Not sure why the Vikings would do this, I mean they have 1 loss right now.

Man I hope we can land Budda Baker

We would benefit more to make a big move on defense and get a play maker there at this point than add another WR IMO. Nothing against adding another WR, but I think our offense is in good shape right now but our defense could use another playmaker. I would love to see Budda Baker or someone up front.

2 firsts, a 2nd, a 4th and a 6th may not be enough for a guy who needs surgery this offseason who isn't a QB? And you think it may not be enough? Not only will he not go for more than that, but even that much is far fetched. If the Browns fleece someone for that, then kudos to them. Question...can you think of another in season trade for a vet that netted that much compensation? I honestly can't, doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I can't think of any non QB going for that much in trade during a season. People do over estimate trade values all the time though.

So are there any legit rumors/links between the Bills and any specific players ahead of trade deadline? Or is this all everyone just throwing names out they hope we would look into?

Are you trying to trade for Justin Herbert? This is insane. Not a player in the NFL worth this other than maybe a few QBs.

Yeah is amazing watching them learn new things every day. As tiring as it is, still goes way too fast. Trying to cherish every moment we can! So thanks, thats good advice!

💯 👏 🫡

Bahahahahaha well played👏 🫡

Haha, yeah it’s a new level of tired, it it’s actually our 17 month old toddler wearing us down the most. It’s like living with a feral animal that gets stronger, smarter, faster, etc every hour of each day haha.

Yeah they need to figure out these slow starts, it's happening too often. And I can't even blame it all on Brady either as Allen was just off early in this game, Cooper killed a drive on his firs target with the drop, and the OL got more dumb early penalties. We gotta clean up these slow and poor starts on both sides of the ball, we don't to make it a habit of going down multiple scores early come playoff time.

We should have beat Houston, we self inflicted that one. Ravens were just one of those games where we came out flat in a hostile environment in what was almost a must win situation for the Ravens. Our injuries on Defense didn't help either, but the whole team was just flat that game. I think we would beat both in a rematch. But Bills won't be taken seriously until we notch impressive wins against quality opponents.

Hahaha yeah, I used it once earlier this year in a review Week 2 actually

What a turn around after the flat and slow start Everyone eats is gonna be even better now with more talent out there eating Defensive adjustments for the 2nd half continue to be impressive - so kudos Babich Offensive line controlled the LOS once we got out of our own way Nice bounce back by Allen after he again started poorly and was off early in the game Total team win - all 3 phases played well overall by end of the game Special teams deserves a shout out - but Bass still makes me nervous anytime he kicks Underperforming on both sides of the ball early in games is something they need to fix asap Carter can ball Keon continues to impress and the addition of Cooper will only further help his development . . . Perfect comp % again to Shakir - Coopers presence and Keons development will only make Shakir more dangerous Amari trade was another win for Beane, impressive debut on 4 days to learn the offense Running back room is amongst the best in the league right now Taron being back has been a huge lift to the defense Turnovers? What turnovers? You must be talking about Mahomes Will Beane make any more moves before the deadline? Chatter is he may not be done... Our time to go all in should be now...so much parity in the league this year...Get'er Done Beane! GO BILLS!!!
