as far as being inferior the honest difference between these two teams I think is Josh Allen. Defensively they are almost identical in production and style of play. Both have forced 15 takeaways and live in zone. They have some young wr, a good offensive line and a good back. They just don't have Allen.

I have to say I am beyond shocked at the laid back attitude of Cooper just not playing here. Not saying you individually just as a whole it seems all of a sudden the bills are a hallmark movie and not a bottom line business. A few weeks ago the WR here were the reason the team was going to be in a rebuild year and miss the playoffs. If cooper can play he damn well better play considering the price they paid for him. Samuel is not 100% clearly yet he suited up and played last week. I guess the question is, is cooper injured or hurt? Hurt guys play injured guys sit. If he is injured I wish the team would just say yeah he is injured and needs time to heal, it is not like its affecting preperation from opponents.

Isn’t that what I said? He is here to fill the spot on the roster. and then as I said hopefully Coleman does not go to ir.

Clearly cooper is out again and they added Virgil to fill the vacant spot they had on the roster. hopefully Coleman doesn’t go to IR

No. Its november 8th. Why would they go that route at this point when it would take like a month to get him ready to go anyway.

Technically, he took an extra step, launched and led with his helmet. Three strikes. Not dirty though, just a penalty. A dirty hit to me is one that has the intent to injure like in the old nfl when guys would hit each late or low on purpose looking to knock guys out.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/michael-pittman-jr-ruled-out-for-colts-bills The Colts will not have one of their top receivers when they play the Bills this weekend. Head coach Shane Steichen ruled out Michael Pittman Jr. (back/finger) in his Friday news conference. Pittman has been considered week-to-week with his back injury, but has not been able to practice over the last three days. “He’s been battling like crazy,” Steichen said, via Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star. At this point, the Colts are not considering putting Pittman on injured reserve.

If he learns to twerk he could probably have a top 20 hit considering the current state of pop music.

Fun look at the similarities between defenses this week from Joe Buscaglia. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5907311/2024/11/08/bills-colts-keon-coleman-injury-amari-cooper/ The Colts’ and Bills’ defensive philosophies are Spiderman-meme-esque When the Bills and Colts take the field, the two defenses are close to mirror images in their approach. It’s all about a heavy emphasis on getting pressure from the team’s defensive line and an all-for-one, one-for-all coverage style to get opposing offenses off the field. According to TruMedia, the Bills have one of the lowest blitz rates in the NFL at 11.1 percent while playing zone coverage 73.6 percent of their snaps. The Colts’ blitz rate is shockingly similar at 12.2 percent, though the Colts actually play zone at an even higher rate than the Bills at 79 percent. The Bills and Colts also play a heavy amount of Cover-2 and Cover-3. So when the Bills’ offense is preparing for the Colts’ defense, there is likely to be a lot of principled familiarities in what the offense saw every day in training camp ahead of the season. However, there is one primary difference between the two from a personnel standpoint, and that could lead to an advantage for the Bills on Sunday.

The bengals had their chance to be the 23 bills and go on a run at 4-5 ish.....Now they are in a tough spot for that 6 or 7 seed. They finish the season home to Denver and at pittsburgh. Both games might be games to stay in the wild card race for each of the 3 teams. The chargers are in a good spot to steal that third wild card spot from the afc north.

seems pretty obvious he is not 100% and is just playing through whatever is bothering him every week. if he is healthy then he should be on the field for about 75% of the snaps this week and catch at least 6 balls.

it wasn't dirty but it was not a needed hit since coleman had already dropped the damn ball. Sucks he is hurt. Listening to mcdermott talk to sal this morning it sounded like more of a long term thing.

that is perfect because this team is built to win the ugly ones. They need to win T.O.P., score 21 points and get a tipped ball for an interception or a fumble to give them a chance to get a two score lead in the second half. This could be a 21-17 or 24-20 type game where the colts have the ball late and we are all hoping for them to get a stop to win.

I disagree. If he can play the team would play him. He is not even catching passes in practice. Essentially he is going to be here to help them win in the postseason. If he doesn't then they burned a top 100 pick to help them win the division which they didn't need help with. If coleman is out this week and samuels is active but still banged up and cooper doesn't play that is not a good sign and exactly what I was worried about in making this trade. again if he is healthy and makes a difference in the postseason his regular season will not matter.

I love that they caught his audio perfectly! ”come on guys you look like a-Holes out there” awesome. Al heard him and laughed

What? The Ravens aren't trying that hard?

IF the ravens lose tonight there whole season is going to get turned on its head

for the time being they are both looking up at pittsburgh. If the bengals win tonight and the steelers win sunday well the Ravens are in a dogfight to win the division and not to get to deep in the weeds here but if the Ravens were to lose tonight and then lose next week at pittsburgh....Well baltimore is probably playing just to stay in a wild card spot at the chargers on monday night football in a few weeks. that is a lot of stuff happening but if the bengals win tonight they have a split with baltimore and it opens the door for the ravens to step on the banana peel going forward.

The bills and really ugly losses is kind of a head scratcher. Its happened about two times in a few years or so.

Both offenses are excellent and imo both defenses are just ok. Don't want to play from behind bs baltimore because of that running game and you don't want to be in a shootout with the bengals because of their abilities in the passing game. Long way to go before thinking about playoff matchups but if the bills and either team is healthy The Bills style of play favors playing the bengals, Taking the ball and sitting on it and winning T.O.P. while also scoring a lot. A one dimensional bengals team with a just ok defense seems to be a good fit for the Bills as they are currently constructed and the way they play.

I think he is going to IR and out for the year

to be fair here it's tuesday. The off day. Tomorrow we will know something when he is not practicing.

Probably sign to the practice squad and take Ankou's spot when he is put on the active roster. of if he is signed logue could get released and offered the spot on the practice squad.
