If Cooks can come in just before December and revitalize his career leading the Bills to glory...well it may just inspire another Hallmark Christmas Movie.

Until this, I was figuring he would see the field again, be it due to injury or them giving him "one last chance". While Cooks is hardly a world beater at this stage of his career I think to me it's a loud and clear message that they are done with the Coleman experience.

We now have a logjam of mediocre WRs. Between this signing, Gabe lurking on the PS, and the potential of Hardman returning at some point...it's making me think that either Hardman was hurt way more than we thought and won't be back OR they are doing whatever they can to make sure Coleman doesn't have to see the field again this year.

Well, they like him enough to give him chance after chance. His biggest issue is he did 1 thing well and never really adjusted or adapted to how football evolved. To me, he's the Rex Ryan of the offensive side of the ball.

She has to do something. The can't keep...Alice in Chains...

I always thought his issues were because Alice didn't lay down the law a bit better.

Appears a replacement for Spencer Brown is coming soon...

Y'all wanted a Saints WR at the trade deadline. Beane listens

Reminds me of the old saying, "Past results do not equal future success" Now, that said, it's football and wild things happen. And there are still enough weeks to mathematically win the division, #1 seed or whatever people want to see. This is a discussion board. And as such, both the people that feel the Bills can overcome and the people saying they may miss the playoffs at this point have very valid arguments. I think we ALL wish the Bills were closing in on the top seed, but here we are. No, we don't know what the rest of the season holds. At this point they could win out or lose out...and neither would particularly shock me at this point. It's just a disappointment that we couldn't put away teams like Atlanta and Miami. Or New England in our building. Seems like every time we get something rolling, we get hit with a fresh batch of key injuries. Right now, we need to wrap Cole Bishop up in bubble wrap. I will say it again because it merits repeating. Both the Gloomy Gus's and the Homers have valid points. The season can go in a million directions, from a Super Bowl win to eliminated from the playoffs by week 16 or 17. I know where I feel like it's heading, but it doesn't mean my opinion is the only valid one.

I don't see it as over entitled. I see it as legitimate frustration. Of all years for the Bills to have a step back in talent...it happens in a year where the Chiefs struggle, the Ravens had issues and the Patriots surge. There would be a legitimate chance Buffalo would have the #1 seed locked down in a few weeks in a typical Bills season I think the frustration is stemmed in the fact that some of the issues that have plagued the Bills this year should have been easy for a GM to see to see coming. The lack of talent at WR. The lack of depth at key positions. These were all addressed right here by many and shrugged off. The injuries that have been mounting since day 1 of TC. And while you can't predict injuries, it does take a toll on the team and the mentality of the fan base. The regression to the means of several things. Sacks up, takeaways down, giveaways up. All things that were amazing last year yet many know are unsustainable. All things that I believe Beane just expected to continue. Finally, it's the lack of improvement over the course of the season in key things. Run defense. Play calling. Presnap penalties. Lack of consistency week to week. It's just been an all around frustrating year watching this team.

On the flip side, the Steelers have a chance to push themselves into the 7 seed and send us to the "in the hunt" group with a win this week. We lose this weekend, and the Steelers leapfrog us and the Texans could as well with a win. This week really is a make or break week. I feel like the loser of this one misses the playoffs entirely.

Honestly, they may be worse At least the Bills managed to get a 1st round pick for Peters. The Raiders for years have had the opportunity to get a kinda ransom for Maxx Crosby and absolutely refuse to trade him. He reportedly wants to stay there...but business is business. After seeing what the Cowboys got for Parsons and even the Jets got for Q Williams, it's ridiculous that they keep him there.

You could be right. We may never know. I don't have faith the Raiders will put enough around him to reach his potential. Jeanty was a horrible pick for a team that needed much more than a RB.

Yeah, but most Patriot fans were fans of another team at one point. A lot have navigated to Chief fans now.

Oh, OUR 30? They way people cried about it I assumed it was the Fins 30. Yeah, no. You don't go for it that early on your own 30.
