Cooper. Hopkins is good, but I dont even think he is a true #1 anymore. Cooper is.

So why was Amari Cooper traded twice in his prime?
Cray51 replied to PoundingDog's topic in The Stadium Wall
Cooper is a Decent #1 who gets dealt often because a) team dont tend to invest in those guys and b)If he is your best WR option without a star QB you wont be Super Bowl successful. Oakland had no QB (Carr is incredibly overrated) and Cooper was dealt to Dallas. Then, Dallas used Cooper well, however they had a young Ceedee Lamb ready to bust out, and chose the rookie contract over the WR1 money Cooper would require. Then, back to situation b, the Browns are bad with no QB, and they dealt Cooper to a potential contender. Cooper is a great player - and a really solid piece to add here. I'm excited to see what he can do, and secondly do the Bills try to work out a deal to bring him back if they are successful with him? -
Keon Coleman 5th In Rookie Receiving Yards
Cray51 replied to iwishitwerecolder's topic in The Stadium Wall
Cooper being here will open a lot more for Keon. As he continues to understand NFL leverage in one on one situations, he will only get better. a 1k season with 6-7 TDs would be a great start to his career -
Coleman today showed exactly why this team didn’t draft worthy. Worthy is a good gadget guy and has a chance as a deep threat. Worthy isn’t beating press coverage on that slant and getting out of the first tackle to take it 57 yards. worthy also isn’t making one on one grabs on the endzone edge like Coleman (almost) made
-
He simply isn't good enough to start. Which - by the way - isn't a surprise. NFL safety is a very heady position, and players need time to gather that experience and knowledge to be effective. There aren't any other safeties that were selected around Cole's spot doing any better, so we may just have to accept that this pick needs a year to develop and expect returns later on.
-
Agreed, there was a clear play I believe to Samuel where it was blown up because Coleman didnt react well and (while not a clear out route) missed his block. Off the ball he needs to improve. With that said, out of any of the facets of the WR game I think can be taught, running clear out routes is something I think he will grow in
-
If Adams would have cost a second or first, I wouldn't have done the deal. We needed the Raiders to eat salary, and the Jets got him for a third with no retention. Desperation move for the Jets. You are 2-4, 3 games back of the division. They are fighting with the Bengals for a playoff spot, but it's a wild card at absolute best. This screams the owner meddling to try to get something out of this year knowing Rodgers is toast soon
-
It was a bad throw, and Rodgers used Williams as a scapegoat. He put enough loft on the ball to float it to the sideline and Williams could run under it. He short threw it 15 yards, forcing Williams to stop on a dime and led to the slip

Should the Bills trust that Tyler Bass will return to form?
Cray51 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sean's answer to a question about Bass was very very clear. Didn't say he trusts him, didnt say he will rebound. His entire answer? "Tyler knows he needs to make those kicks. Tyler knows he needs to make those kicks." -
NFL just set the standard - if your arm moves forward, and even after completely the throwing motion without actually throwing the ball you get hit and lose it, it’s and incompletion. if I’m a QB I’m pumping that arm forward constantly. That way you are gifted an incompletion if you ever do get hit and fumble…

10/14/24 Game 6 Bills at (NJ) Jets MNF Post Game thread
Cray51 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Couple of quick thoughts 1) Allen was dialed in tonight, and he looked more athletic than in prior weeks. Maybe that shoulder and hand are healed up? 2) Rodgers still throws a nice ball, but has ZERO mobility and even less trust in half his receiving core. He likes quick slants out of the slot or a designed screen. That’s it 3) Hail Mary won’t happen again this season, but it’s annoying how it seems to work against us once a year 4) Brady called a really solid game - other than abandoning the run in the third quarter 5) Refs were a joke all night. Terrible game from them 6) Sauce Gardner HATES contact. I’d run a sweep his direction every play if I could, he can’t tackle 7) 4-2 in this division is as close to a lock as you can get. Bills are staring 13-4 in the face -

10/14/24 Game 6 Bills at (NJ) Jets MNF Post Game thread
Cray51 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills WRs were ok this game. However, their lack of a high end kicker has cost them 3 field goals and 2 extra points this year. 11 points because Bass has no consistency. -

Cray51 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
If Allen has the nards he is walking into Beanes office tomorrow telling him to sign a better kicker. We cannot allow points lost on field goals and extra points -
10/14/24 Game 6 Bills at (NJ) Jets MNF Post Game thread
Cray51 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Brady called 3 really strong quarters of football. Third quarter was ok, but penalties hurt the product. defense held on, but the jets lucked into 20 points. Hail Mary and scoring off of that bad roughing the passer on AJ won’t happen every week i was particularly shocked at how poor the jets defense looked. Sauce Gardner may be the most overrated corner in the league by quite a margin -
Week 6, Bills v. NJ Jest, PREDICT THE SCORE!
Cray51 replied to Freddie's Dead's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm not convinced that the Jets will all of a sudden be a spectacular offense, and I also believe the Bills will find ways to put up points (I expect them to have plenty of blitz counters planned). 27-17 Bills -
Five Weeks in, Las Vegas thinks everything AFC is already clear
Cray51 replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
If the expectation is that the Bills would have 3 of the top 20ish young receivers in the game, that's already a bar that not a single team in the NFL can meet - let alone show that by ignoring other positions to do so may lead to gaps across the team that limit success Secondly, of the 17 guys on your list, the Bills didnt even have a real chance to get 7 of them (5 or more picks away from their first round selection). Really, they had chances on: Coleman - We drafted him - At expectation right now AD Mitchell - Has 6 catches this year Legette - worse than Coleman so far Polk - 70 yards this year Worthy - Very similar to Keon so far Reed - Projected as a 4th round guy who was taken middle of the second Wicks - 10 catches this year Rice - Steal - great pick by KC Puka - Great pick by Rams Dell - 137 yards this year and 0 TDs They drafted Coleman who has been right at expectations so far, in place of some of the other guys in that range who are performing at or below Keon's level. Reed was a great pick by Green Bay, but was considered a reach at the time. Rice and Puka were great picks, but Beane also should get credit for Shakir, who looks spectacular. It would be nice if the Bills had selected a Rice or Puka, but 30 other teams missed those guys too. The Bills landed Shakir who looks amazing. Where Beane has struggled was Samuel. He missed there (so far), and it would have been a good to get someone like Mooney instead, who ultimately was too expensive. -
I agree - I think most teams making that "splash" receiver move are expecting something they dont actually get - immediate superstar elevating play. When it comes to the Bills - If you can bring in Adams for a 4th I wouldnt be against it as long as it didnt carry long term cap implications. I also wouldn't sit here and expect him to be a 1,000 yard 10 TD guy in the last 12 games of the year...

AJ Brown DHop to Arizona wasn’t terrible i think circumstance matters. A team who is established at other positions but weak at receiver can take a big step with an addition (think AJ brown to Philly). A deal when you don’t have a QB and expect a WR to elevate your team is a bad idea

Top 5 JA Games: 5. 2021 Week 3 - Against the Redskins, we saw the ability of Josh to move outside the pocket and hit throws. Sanders had two touchdowns, and Josh looked like the best QB in the league 4. 2022 Week 2 - Against the Titans. Few things here - 1. Allen hit the deep shot to Diggs which was such a nice throw. His arm was incredible that game, and it was a rout against a team that had two wins against the Bills in the past two years 3. 2020 Week 2 against the Dolphins - The birth of what Allen would be. 415 yards, 4 TDs, deep shots galore, crossers to Diggs, Beasley running like a madman. It was proof that not only could the Bills play defense, but their offense could win games on their own. In my opinion, Josh's best regular season game 2. 2021 Divisional - Chiefs game. Allen was so dialed in that night. I will take it to my grave that if he won the coin toss, we win that game. Allen's throw to Davis after being down 23-14 was my favorite throw of his career. He just sat back, said I'm going to throw this past everyone on the other team, and Davis took it the rest of the way. Such an incredible performance, such a Buffalo end 1. 2021 Wild Card - New England game. Just an amazing performance. I dont believe they had more than 1 or 2 3rd downs that game, let alone a punt. Josh was a machine that game

Wish your fellow Florida Bills fans luck....

I live just east of Tampa - going through the brunt of it right now. Still have power, but winds are getting stronger and stronger. No concerns of losing my house, but power (if lost) would be a major inconvenience -
Super early… screams owner decision maybe Rodgers not happy and went to him directly?

You can tell Bernard understands reading defenses wayyyy better than Spector. He was able to set up the defense to attack the line frequently. His mind is top notch (I'm sure that's one of the reasons he is a captain)
