I have a question for you. do you think this phenomenon is why some players get wildly overpaid in FA and disappoint? Like the Jags throw $49M at Cook and realize that he was used out way in Buffalo for a reason and it becomes a bad contract?

Yes. For sure.

He could have, especially in the AFC Championship. The coaches botching the decision making is par for the course, especially when playing KC. Got too cute and over thought it instead of sticking with the hot hand and the basics.

Can anyone explain why these thoughts are incorrect?

One more thing, the idea of punishing Cook because of pass protection when Josh was sacked 8 times is silly. You keep insisting on the fact you know what Cook is worth. He’s better each year and the Bills went to the AFC championship last season. Josh loves him and he represents a tremendous threat in the running game, giving Josh a great opportunity to dominate in the passing game. .

Want to agree. But then again feels like we are always one game short of that oh so handy 1 seed / bye - so I'm going to go ahead and treat it like a playoff game 😂

Yep, that's what needs to happen. Mutually assured destruction.

Italians are some of the most patriotic people you’ll ever meet. None of us would say “I am a proud Italian before I am American”. Just take the L.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m going to drop out of this convo. I can keep explaining this to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

I think both parties are right here. Cook doesn’t want to risk injury and wants to be paid like a top back. The Bills want to keep a talented player, but on their terms. Both are right for their own interests. How does it end? That we shall see. I’d see if the Panthers are willing to trade for him, just to threaten 🤣

Extending Epenesa was a mistake. He’s decent but is feast or famine. He's made a few flash plays but not worthy of the extension he received.

Caught these two videos about hard knocks on my YouTube feed. Sharing for those interested. Nothing earth shattering. Just some interviews with the director of this years Hard Knocks. I think he said he is from Rochester. Bet thats cool for him.

Who cares if we lose. It’s week 1. One of the best teams in the AFC will be 1-0 and the other will be 0-1. 16 more games will decide the season IMO.

You’re hung up on silly statistical evaluations (Sportrac)that can be manipulated by GMs in negotiations. You’re not being objective when you diminish Cook’s production on just over 200 carries. How could you say he’s not on the field on obvious rushing situations when he had 16 TDs. Why wasn’t he on the field the last 2 series against KC when Brady, Josh and company kept failing to control the game with predictable QB tush pushes. Brady’s lack of creativity and stubborn refusal to use Cook, killed our SB chances. You’re confusing what Brady has designed for our offense with Cook’s shortcomings. He can be a matchup nightmare in the passing game against LBs and safeties, and with 50 more carries 1250. to 1400 yds is more than possible. You forgot to mention in your efforts to discredit Cook , how durable he’s been and how we haven’t had anyone close to his production in the Allen era. More importantly where are we getting his replacement drafting when we do. I’m begging you self styled capologists, just judge Cook by the eye test. How many backs score that TD at the goal line on 4th down to keep us in the game?

I like these hats a lot. I would buy one if they weren’t $50.

Who is starting RB is Cook doesn't play. He is clearly the difference maker even if he plays 45% of snaps. We dont want Davis and Johnson playing all the snaps. Or with some chump added to the mix.

AWESOME THREAD!!

The Bills put the players on the field that had played in those situations all season. If Cook could carry a bigger workload then maybe he’d have seen time in them and they’d have played him. But that wasn’t the case. Maybe he’d have fared better if they’d have put him in, but that’s speculation. All season the coaches didn’t feel comfortable playing him when the defense knew we’d be running. I’d wager that they had their reasons for not starting in the AFCC game.

No one should reply to him. I know I’m done. He’s just too f…ing insane. And, I’m the last one that does. So he’ll be responding to himself.

^^^ Stopped at “What’s”

That’s been covered. He has shown the workload he is capable of and that limits his touches. That limits what the team can ask him to do. So they’re getting as much out of him as he is capable of.

No one is reading your trash.

We’re losing that game if we’re 10% healthy.

Head to head to head, I’d take Marino. Bills win many SBs with him. Along with his superior skills, he wouldn’t allow foolishness.
