He’s playing with the cast?  That proves he’s soft as poop!  Cut him once we are done emasculating him.

If he was a real man, he would play with two casts.

Then he's more man than I thought.

It may be a blessing in disguise to have all these receiving targets down for this game.  I don’t think the Bills would have the restraint otherwise to hold anything back before the second meeting in January. Now they are forced to.

I'll say it, he didn't like the trade and isn't going to play.  No idea why, but I saw his body language and face in his 2nd game and it was clear something was off.

 

Looks like we, Possibly, Wasted a 3rd round pick.

I'm there now myself

Good lord….. why?

I really don’t understand this thinking. So, apparently KC has been holding back the past few regular season games and saved some strategic magic to win the rematch playoff games?

Because we are fans. Short for fanatics.

 

Our emotions are raging like hormones in a teenagers body.

Even if they win this week I don't think this Bills team goes 3-0 out of the bye. Do I see the Chiefs losing two more games even if the Bills do beat them? Not without a Mahomes injury, no. So if it is a question of rushing Cooper back for this week or holding him out, letting him have basically a full month to rest the wrist and get it right for the stretch run I'd take the latter. 

 

I agree the 1 seed is doubtful even if we win this weekend, but I think this game could ultimately decide the 2 seed. We need to keep a full game ahead of the Ravens and that is an outcome worth fighting for.

Im not sure I want the 2 seed.

 

In fact I think i’d rather have the 3 seed. 1 or 3 seed.

 

The 2 seed is going to end up playing Cinci in my opinion.

 

The 3 seed is going to end up playing the Chargers, Broncos, or Colts.

It is worth fighting for. I am not saying this game does not matter. Not saying that at all. I am just saying it isn't a prize worth taking any unnecessary injury risks with players nursing things.

To add, WR is a position where the Bills are particularly thin, so it's even more important to have all of our WRs healthy for the playoffs.  If Cooper can go Sunday without any risk of re-injury or aggravating the injury, then I'd like to see him give it a shot.  If there's risk of a longer-term, lingering injury that can be avoided by resting through this week and the bye week, then he should sit.

It's an unfortunate injury. He'll be back out there when he heals up enough. The Bills are one of the more conservative teams in the NFL when it comes to injury, and that is a good thing.

I just don't think you can worry about that right now. FWIW I believe the Bengals will lose three more games and just miss the playoffs at 8-9. But there are like five different teams I could see being the 7 seed. Whoever it is, give me home field advantage two times and hope to avoid having to beat both the Ravens and the Chiefs. If we can't win in the wildcard round we were never destined to win a Super Bowl this year.

The win loss record or seeding should never be a factor in a player returning from injury. Either they are fit to play, or the aren't. The Bills are usually really good about that.
