Cooper says he plans to play Sunday with a cast!

Cooper seems like the exact opposite of Diggs, personality wise. He wants things to be meaningful rather than look cool.

Both Shakir and Cooper you mean.

 

Definitely want to extend both of them. But Cooper's a Free Agent after this season ends. We still have another year under contract with Shakir.

I don't know if this got posted but it's about how the play worked and how it's part of the overall trend of how playing conservative vs the Chiefs is a death sentence

"And by the time all of Kansas City’s defenders turned to realize that the quarterback had escaped the pocket, they had to decide how willing they were to perform the on-field equivalent of diving in front of a racehorse. " 😃

 

Romo said again and again that the Bills need to go win this game and not play conservatively which other teams tried mistakenly. That last drive was aggressively called and the Bills snatched the victory as opposed to hoping to luck into it

I do think they will do all they can on Shakir extension and so far from his personality, nothing suggests Shakir wanting out of Buffalo if the deal is fair.

 

Cooper? He's a professional mercenary in my mind and he'll be 31 next June. He'll probably go to the highest bidder and then be a trade candidate during the season like Hopkins. 

 

If I were Beane, a stout 1 tech DT that can step in to play right away would be high on my FA list this off season. Jones is obvious in decline. The ability to hold up at the point of run attack by D Line is probably the weakest point of the entire Bills team. I'd certainly draft another receiver who can play X or Z using one of my top 3 picks.

He sure can! and with those lonnnnnng finger nails! Wow.. anyone else catch this during the video? I mean, they look like glue-on nails. Oh well, he played a great game and made 2 highlight catches for us. Good game Coop!

Semi off topic but this WR group is so good. Not super super talented but you have:

 

- Experienced WR in Cooper who can get open, make tough catches, etc. Potentially the go to guy when everything is going wrong

- The YAC, "just gets open" guy in Shakir

- The guy who can make contested catches and who continues to get better each week (hope that continues after the injury) in Coleman

- The guy who does all the dirty work but you also have to respect in Hollins

- A guy who is getting more and more usage and getting healthier in Samuel

 

You are probably missing that speedster deep threat but I'm also not sure that's a major part of Brady's offense. Again, this group just checks the boxes. You don't have an all-pro but the group just makes sense.

You get Coop, Kincaid, Coleman and Samuel.... OH.. and SHAKIR all together in one game, with a little time to gel, and you have a helleva receiving core.

 

And I should mention Hollins, cause that dude is BALLING out when we need him.   Hollins can play.

Add in our 1b TE Knox, our RBs and that gives our OC  & QB a hell of a lot of options,

You could be right but after hearing him say this is the first time in a long time he has actually experienced joy playing the game, maybe we get a little bit of a discount. If he’s feeling joy and acceptance, those can be powerful things.

Is the narrative of “Beane needs to surround Allen with more talent” dead?

 

It is in my opinion.  You can way overspend on offensive weapons to the detriment of other positions.  I think where we are sitting is just right.

This season has also been a great example of how Allen truly does elevate the skill players around him.  This allows Bean to be mindful of the bank.  This is also the flexibility that Mahomes gives the Chiefs.
