Yes, especially in our offense. He is an ideal fit for what the Bills want to do. Today, against one of the top run defenses in the NFL Cook ran for 120 and a TD for nearly 6 yards a carry.

To be blunt, it’s a stupid theory. Don’t give ordinary RBs (Moss, Singletary) a second contract fine. However elite players need to be retained. Cook is one of the elite RBs in the NFL and a perfect fit for this offense. He isn’t easily replaced. If guys like Cook were so easy to find, we wouldn’t have had to wait six years between 1000 yard rushers and 30 years between elite ones.

This is a fair question, but I think getting Smoot, Douglas, Hamlin and Rapp back healthy might have been a bigger factor.

I honestly can’t believe the Cook haters have resurfaced after this week’s playoff game. Friggin hilarious. First things first. He has one more year on his rookie deal. That means he isn’t going anywhere. Given our cap situation Beane may not extend him this coming off-season. Cook continues to prove the haters wrong. He is the top dawg in the backfield and Brady and Allen trust him in key situations. Have the haters learned nothing? They said he fumbles too much. Wrong! They said he can’t run between the tackles. Wrong! They said he doesn’t score touchdowns. Wrong! They said he is easily replaced. Wrong! He is lightning fast. Breaks tackles, is a huge weapon out of the backfield and is a threat to go to house with every touch. Good luck replacing him. Oh by the way Cook is only 6 months older than Davis and had less than half his college workload. There is considerable tread left on this tire.

Really? Baltimore and Philly would disagree. I think Josh Allen would disagree as well. Remember he’s had Singletary, Moss, Yeldon, Gore Sr, Ivory, McCoy amongst other castoffs to tote the rock. I suspect he wants Cook to be here long-term.

Everyone Eats Rushing - 4 ball carriers on 41 carries for 213 yards and 1 TD (I'm leaving out Mitch's kneeldowns) Receiving - 8 players caught a pass for 20 total catches for 272 yards and 2 TDs All in all 11 different Bills players were involved in the offense.

Smiley must do a better job sniffing out fake kicks.

Was there anyone who really had a bad game? Bass made all his kicks. No turnovers. Good kickoff returns. Only mistakes were the fake punt and Rapp getting beat deep on the first drive.

Smoot also played really well today. There was some poster here who said he sold his house in Buffalo and was done for the season. Ooops!

Glad we got out of the game mostly healthy. Hopefully Davis and Lewis will be ok for next week.

Where is Curtis Samuels’ game ball? Bills leading receiver with 68 yards and a TD.

The healthy guys that kept 5 teams to ten points during the regular season. I did love Romo’s rooting for Nix and the Broncos. Kudos to Brady and the OLine for making the game plan based on the 3 headed RB monster.

I guess. They had 3 all-pros on their D and we ate them for dinner.

It’s amazing the D looks when it’s fully healthy.

There are so many on this board it’s hard to choose just one.

Me? I don’t think so. I am a Cookie fan, but I love our RB room and was a huge advocate of re-signing TY this offseason. I also a huge advocate of re-signing him this offseason. Our 3 headed RB monster is a huge strength of this team.

Give Ty a raise.

28 - 14 Bills

It was a cheap way to add a DB coach and to possibly get Hyde a ring. I suspect Hyde will be on the staff next season. As to the OP, Ty Johnson would be my choice.

That’s not the plan. They were trying to teach a great athlete to become a linebacker.

....and? More ammo for Beane to add move depth to the organization. How is this a bad thing unless Gray is indispensable to the Bills which I highly doubt.

I’ll take two 3rds for Gray. Two 2nds, Two 3rds for Gray and 2 compensatory 5ths. Lots of ammo for Beane to move up (or down) to get the depth he needs and maybe a future starter or 3.

Talk about an organization that likes former Bulldogs. I wouldn’t worry too much. I suspect Beane will poach him back this offseason.

That’s hard to know. If had been here all season I might agree, but he really hasn’t had much time to learn the offense, develop chemistry with Josh and have Brady scheme for him. His injuries haven’t help either. I interested in him coming back next season but on a limited deal to see what’s possible. I also want us to draft someone with speed and good hands,
