Was Cooper hurt or something today?

Is it me, or was Cooper on the field less against the Seahawks than he was the Titans?

 

I’m not knocking him because of the interception, but I feel like he was hardly out there in the second half.   I’m typically looking out for Hollins to get a feel for what kind of play is coming, and hardly noticed Cooper.  
 

Did I miss something?

Looked like he collided with defender and grabbed his arm but seemed fine was out there playing after. Maybe we were up and after the INT they just didn’t want to push it anymore.

I know Josh said if teams roll coverage his way , he will throw it elsewhere.

 

Will be interesting to see the all 22 if cooper opened things up for Shakir, Coleman,cook etc


I was thinking the same thing, but most of the catches for Shakir and Coleman were with Cooper not on the field.   Which, to be honest, is good to see them separating and making plays on their own.

He was not injured and came back in the game right after the stinger.  He just didn’t get many targets.  Not sure why

I could care less about the lack of targets but to Virgil's point it definitely seemed like he played less today then last week which is interesting. Of course that could be wrong, will need to wait for snap counts. 

 

We have time to slowly get him involved. Hopefully he's full go for KC.

I think the gameplan was just to throw a lot of quick hitters and Cooper really isn't going to be that guy for the Bills.


I don't think today, which was one of the weirder games the Bills have played recently, is a good measure of what Cooper will end up being for the Bills.

Hmm interesting then. Good observation

That's kind of bizarre he didn't play a ton. So has to be injury then, or else doesn't make much sense

Small theory we gave Keon and Shakir more snaps in formations without Cooper to see how they’d do on their own and so Beane could see if he wants to upgrade there still

 

it may be somewhat far fetched

 

however after the early game results, this wasn’t exactly a must win game

I think it had to do with the Bills running the ball more in the 2nd half with Cook and Davis.

I agree there is no doubt about that.

I also think it's fair to wonder if his best is better than Mack Hollins' best.

This is a take I never thought I'd see. Can you elaborate?

 

Hollins is a fringe WR and Cooper has been excellent pretty much his entire career.
