Like I was saying man, people and their obsession with RBs on this board never cease to amaze me. Couple that with a loss people can't even think straight.

We need one of these for Cook.......

You were saying? The amount of overreaction on this board after a loss is hilarious... "we're going to miss singletary" HAHAHAHAHA Singletary this year: 7 carries 15 yards 2.1 YPC and 4 carries 14 yards...... 3.5 YPC... damn, that's some production we can REALLLLY use

43 of his 46 yards still came after contact last week.

You were saying?

Where does this fall on Cook.....? It doesn't. This is further proof that he wasn't the issue and actually garnered more than he should have? What is your point here? You are all over the place. He had 3.8 yards per carry with blocking that stinks because he got all of his yards AFTER contact.... much better than mediocre. He didnt get "some yards" after contact.. he got basically ALL of his yards after contact.

Ok, 43 of his 46 yards came after contact...... anything else?

It's probably not but for all the people that don't like James Cook or think we need to upgrade: Cook actually ranked eighth at the RB position in avoided tackle rate and earned 43 of 46 rushing yards after contact last week. The notion he doesn't avoid tacklers is nonsense. So hopefully a lot of 12 and a lot of featuring of him, again

This guy clearly doesnt watch the games. Josh Allen is putting too much on himself and trying to do too much. He had receiver's open all game AND he had time to throw.

Yeah I like Dan O too. How good you were doesnt mean you cant coach / know what you're doing.. there are plenty of coaches that weren't successful in the NFL or shoot, even made it in the NFL (our coach). But to be very honest, now that people have calmed down a litttttttttle, the loss was the best thing for the Bills. Josh needs to realize he isnt going to get wins or things handed to him because he's Josh Allen. I think over the next few weeks, Josh will propel himself into the MVP conversation. He needed a wake up call.

LOL it's deceiving to these people even if you put out a FACT... You can't reason with people who clamor for big names for no other reason that to have a big name. JT was below average when his line was below average last year.. just like every single RB in the NFL and NFL history. You pay linemen and your QB.. not your RB ... as history shows. People think that the Bills paying an RB is going to somehow change that narrative.

They also had Tom Brady and a great OL. They still didn't pay them, no matter what anyone says, no team wins paying running backs.. numbers and history do not lie. Kirby Smart? you're comparing the NFL to a team that has 5 5* RB's on their team that play against less competition? Also, James Cook isn't a tackle breaker, he never has been and never will be. You people and your love for RB's is astonishing. Ask yourself, how many Superbowls does Walter Payton, AP, Barry Sanders, etc etc etc have? Good try, it was 2M on the button when they won and anyway, Ronald Jones was their starter per the team website, depth chart, etc. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/tam/2020_roster.htm LOL people and their RB's.. it's so crazy that people want to spend money on a play that is disposable instead of spending that 15M on another linemen... then it wont matter who is at RB.. James Cook is averaging 6YPC since week 14 or so of last year. He is hardly the problem

Please see “starting RB” he was not the starter.

Holy sh-- the boards this morning are amazingggggggg.

Again, why don't people realize that RBs don't make an offense and no team that has won in the last 15 years had an RB that they paid more than 2.5M for? Having Taylor doesn't make the line better. It doesn't make Dorsey's rotation make sense. It does nothing. If you don't have an OL, the RB doesn't matter. People need to stop clamoring for big names. 2 things: 1.) Taylor was great his rookie year with an amazing OL, his numbers last year? not great before injruy. 2.) how do you even know he's healthy? he had season ending ankle surgery and now he has back issues.. SURE LET'S SIGN HIM because he has a name.. Bills fans are soooo oddly obsessed with RBs

Nothing like this has been posted today.

Neither did the Chiefs last year.. or the patriots in their dynasty, the eagles has 4 of them on rotation. You don't win by paying RBs.. again, no team in the last 15 years has won a SB by paying an RB... not a single one. i fking hope not man. Like i said in another thread.... Week 1 is a lie. Some teams look better than they are and most look worse

Oh and then Dorsey stopped calling outside zones, sweeps. Runs 2... gets 10 yards per... abandons it.

When will people realize you do NOT win football games / Super Bowls by paying running backs? This board is OBSESSED with RBs. No team who has won the Super Bowl in the last 15 years has paid a starting RB over 2.5M You don't win by paying an RB, these are world class athletes. You win by putting an OL on the field .. the RB is irrelevant. JT was GREAT his rookie year with the best OL in the NFL.. last year, they weren't as good and neither was he. As the OL goes, the RB goes.

I don't think he got heat from people who aren't on ESPN or Bills fans that need something irrational to complain about / create a story that doesnt exist Stef has never been a problem and never will be. He wants to win and that's it.

The implosion on the board is absolutely hilarious. I've seen a topic complaining about everything from last night. It's absolutely hilarious. Like 2 years ago when we lost to the corpse of Big Ben... everyone thought the sky was falling and then Josh went on to have an MVP season taking second in voting.. Bills fans are actually the funniest group of people to watch complain after ANYTHING wrong happens. The most irrational people. Week 1 in the NFL is a lie. It always has been. Teams look better than they are and most teams look worse than they are... cant tell that to the Bills fanbase though..

To be fair, Staley should have been fired after last year maybe even the year before. That roster is full of talent... maybe the most in the NFL and he just can't put it together. It's so mind blowing.

I'm not saying they're not elite or going to be. But 1 double digit sack season in 4 years does not make you a monster.. If that's the case, if Groot gets 12 this year, does he fit that category?

I thought Watt and Parsons were in top 10, that's on me. You uh,,, you may have forgot about Miles Garrett. Both Bosa's ... Judon didn't get double digit sacks until his 6th year in the league.. not by the team that drafted him .. If you want to wait for 6 years to see a "monster" wait on Groot. Maxx Crosby has had 1 double digit sack year. If you call that a "monster" getting 12.5 sacks in 17 games, fine.. LV also doesn't rotate like we do. Highsmith- 3rd year, 1 double digit sack year.. opposite of TJ Watt. Burns- 4 years... 1 double digit sack season... these are the "monsters" we're looking to draft? If that's the case... be patient and Groot should have double this year and would be on par with everyone you mentioned outside of the "monters" i was referring to: Bosa's, Watt, Parsons. Garrett

There are quite literally 3 "monsters" at DE in the league and they all went top 10.... They don't grow on trees there bubba.
