These Amari Cooper quotes after the Chiefs game…it really IS special playing here…

[BADOLBILZ]

 

If you need leadership and a guy who raises the compete level of your team Cooper ain't it.    In the wrong situation(like Cleveland was) that can make him a loser's loser.   He'll just go out and do his job well but he ain't going to be any help changing a losing culture and if he is the 2nd or 3rd highest paid guy on the team you gotta' have some leadership from that dude because players are going  to look up to that big money.  And you aren't winning with a locker room full of players who don't find joy in winning from week to week.   

 

But in a situation like Buffalo he can be ideal.  They are already very good,  the culture is established and they don't need an alpha.  They just need a guy who can do what he does on the field.   He is making very little money from the Bills now and if he were to re-sign for a Hopkins type deal in the offseason that wouldn't necessitate more than just doing his job.

Can't wait to see Cooper, Coleman, Kincaid, Shakir and a healthy Samuel on the field at the same time.....that's an arsenal that Josh Allen can lead all the way to the Superb Owl!!

 

Go Bills!!

I’d like to get his opinion after this brutal winter. 

yeah these last two months have been horrible. Winter is already 2 months shorter. 

[Thurman#1]

Yeah, loved this.

Summers in Buffalo are glorious but unfortunately Cooper came in just when the weather was turning to *****, so that's what his impression will be.  Now he'll have to endure week after week of cold and rain or snow, and then....winter sets in.  

 

Here's hoping the joy the team brings to his soul, outweighs the displeasure the weather brings to his body, and he eagerly signs up for a team friendly contract extension.

You left out Hollins, who seems to make at least one critical catch every game.  Also Knox who stepped back up with Kincaid out against the Chiefs.

 

There's a potential problem, a good problem but a problem anyway, that the Bills have too many B+ to A- receivers, so not everyone gets to have a big game every game.  Same thing with RBs, where Cook looks great but here comes Davis, playing so well he demands to be on the field, and then Johnson is playing very well too.  None of the receivers is Justin Jefferson, and none of the RBs is Derrick Henry, and they can't all be on the field at the same time.

 

Just gotta ask, though -- is the Superb Owl a new bar on Chippewa?  Nice of Josh to take all the receivers there.  And I really like owls so I like the name...

[Billy Claude]

Didn't Cooper pretty much say the same thing after an earlier game?

Looks disinterested. 

 

 

100%! That was the dart thrown over top of Chiefs defender.

Did I see this right? 

Did he just haul that in with one hand?

 

YES, HE DID!

After losing in Cleveland he’s likely used to rust belt weather and apathy in the locker room. The way the community bonds around this team is extremely additive for a lot of these guys. As a pro it’s a positive experience you can really only get in Buffalo and Green Bay. Add in JA17, and Buffalo is a unique experience that a quieter guy like Cooper probably really enjoys and appreciates.

“This is the first time in like a long time that I’ve actually felt joy from winning this game,” Cooper said, “from just the way we played, from having so many guys on the team who are playmakers, and they come up and they show up when their number is called. Collectively as a group, it’s just amazing.”

 

“It’s kind of a different place, too, Buffalo, compared to some of the other places I’ve been to. It’s a tight-knit group I would say. A lot of the guys go out together. They hang around each other 24/7, and it truly shows up on the field. It truly does.”

 

“When you’re a kid and you’re dreaming of football, this is the stage you dream about,” Cooper said. “You don’t really dream about the games that aren’t meaningful. You’re dreaming about the meaningful games against the best teams. And so we were in it. It doesn’t come around that often, especially if you aren’t on a very good team. Any player who’s been in this league a long time, most of the guys haven’t always been on good teams. It’s just how it swings in this league.”

 

“The Josh Allen experience, with this magnitude, it’s been phenomenal, man,” Cooper said. “Like I said before, he’s a great player. The old adage ‘Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time situations,’ and that’s exactly what he did.”

 

“It kind of reminded me of – I was going to tell my friend this after the game – it’s like Little League, Pop Warner,” Cooper said. “It’s a Florida thing; it’s a Florida experience. But when you win the championship, you have to go up the road on your way to winning the national championship. And when you go up the road, the fans get crazier and crazier. I mean, they put rocks in glass bottles and shake them up, and everybody collectively gets so loud, and that’s what it reminded me of for some reason. But, yeah, the environment is phenomenal, for sure.”

 

wow for a quiet reserved introvert, that was quite a reveal .. 

 

McBeanes just keep bringing in the right guys (Cooper) and ditching the malcontents (eg. Mike Edwards)

 

Gotta love whats going on at OBD
