If we’re only talking about 1 season, I would probably take Cooper. People forget that he made a lot of big plays last year…two long receptions on third down vs the Chiefs in the regular season, a big touchdown on a slant over the middle in his first game, and a tremendous touchdown catch in the home game vs the Jets when that game was still in doubt. And of course the famous give-and-go with Josh Allen vs SF in the snow. Cooper’s contribution to that play is underrated; he made a fantastic one-handed catch on a bad throw from Josh, then had the instinct to pitch it back to Josh when most players probably would have just eaten it… I’m a little surprised the Bills didn’t bring Cooper back; they either didn’t like his attitude (unlikely) or he just doesn’t want to play anymore.

He was on their injury report with a wrist injury. I don’t think they’re required to say any more than that.

Good choice. Namath said after the Super Bowl that the one win Bills team had a better defense than the NFL champ Colts. Resulted in him getting a standing ov in next year's game at War Memorial.

My theory with Mack is that he is a hobo and the train he hopped on just happened to bring him to New England

A broken wrist (Coleman) and a torn PCL (Kincaid) are legitimate injuries

Also, Greg Cosell said Dorian Strong is mostly a man cornerback. I love the idea of a diverse defense that can adjust on the fly, change things up, and surprise offenses. The constant zone, especially with a fading Douglas, an overmatched Hamlin, and a tepid pass rush, was just asking for teams to attack.

The list of injury excuses Beane and McDermott make is unbelievably long.

Is there any problem with the Bills not disclosing that?

Yes, definitely. And Cooper is washed. But he's a pro. He's not going beat you with mental errors. He is not going to finish 98 of 98 in lowest passer rating when targeted. If Moore is guaranteed the money that the tag seemed to guarantee him($3.75M?)........that is more than Mack Hollins was guaranteed($3.5M) on a 2 year deal in New England. Maybe Hollins wanted NOTHING to do with the Bills......but it makes more sense that they just misplayed their hand with him. They need more help on the boundary than in the slot. It's all shooting low........bringing back Cooper or Hollins.........but they managed to do worse than low. If you are a team that only stocks 5 WR on their 53......you should stock 5 GOOD ones.

On Bills FB page today: Also a short video where they're installing the first lighted K in one of the "Highmark" signs on the exterior. Awesome. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15QS9peMVY/

That was a rough one, very Billsy. My dad is a Steeler fan, so we went to that game together. He obviously liked the outcome better than I.

Democrats sure love them some wife beaters, don't they

First, let's acknowledge that you were also one of the more vocal, irrational "WR is quietly getting better" people. Second, EVERY ONE of you either admitted you were wrong or hid from the discourse when the very predictable happened and good teams squatted on the Bills short pass limited offense and totally shut it down. Third, Beane admitted he and his apologists were wrong by desperately trading a pick he greatly valued WEEKS before the trade deadline because it was THAT obvious that the offense was in trouble. There was no time to lose. They could not afford to be anything but a top offense and the reason why a top WR earns so much money is that their presence can entirely change how a defense has to attack them. Lastly, your Shakir stat doesn't track. Implying that they would have scored 30 against Baltimore if he just finished the game is ridiculous. He was missed in Houston for sure but the difference just made the difference between horrible and all-time bad. He was back for the uninspiring offense performance in NJ the week after. That's when Beane pulled the trigger on the Cooper deal.

It should be pretty clear that Moore is a much better flyer than an old shot cooper. Moore had 35 uncatchable balls out of 100 targets, Insta caught 60… Has 435 speed and is a good route runner… His quarterbacks have been ridiculously bad. At this stage of the career, it’s not even close of a question as to who is the better option.

I agree with almost all of this; you're e v a l of Williams is spot on, and your diagnosis of Bishop's primary issue is what I see as well. The only place I might differ is that I think Bishop is faster than you think he is. I don't know what his 40 is or anything, but I do get the sense that he can really get teh lead out when it's time to go. His shortcoming are not physical, but all mental at this point, imo.

The logic follows that way yes if you're sort of stupidly grasping at any straw

49 pages. Some still complaining and whining about the guy, posting links,stats whatever. He is here, complaining we'll after the fact changes nothing. We have no idea how he or Palmer will do until they are in this offense and Allen gets comfortable with them.

He’s also been misused as a FS when his natural spot is SS. Let’s cut him some slack

You know, I could understand if the Dems and their minions disavowed Slick after #metoo and then after their attacks on Trump for his "grab her by the..." thing, but they not only didn't do that, they kept trotting him out to campaign for them. Then I saw that clip of Jon Stewart on TDS (how fitting) talking about Biden fondling the new interns. That's why I laugh every time they bring up the "cheater" and "rapist" stuff.

Its trump 24 x 7 for that moron

Would you rather have Amari Cooper, if he could be had for the same price as Moore? I’m not sure which one I’d rather have.

It was his own son. And his (at least) 2nd wife.

I just think people need to stop looking at him like a big time sack threat. After watching more & more on the guy, it seems very likely he's there to help on run plays first & foremost.
