Augs …I’m sure the 9th time is the charm..

"it's 3rd and 11 and and a bubble screen to Cooks goes for 2 yards. Bills Punt."

I can't anymore w/ the Allen narratives. I've lost track of the # of "Allen always chokes in the playoffs" comments I've seen from other fans. When he has basically been immaculate. And if he's reverting a bit this year on the turnovers, it's pretty obvious why to those of us who watch the team every week. No one to throw to, no one open, and just trying to make something happen - because if he doesn't, we'll lose.

What's the under on how many days he will get injured and be out for 3 months?

I’ve been crushing the Bills for not having a guy that’s ever had more than 851 yards receiving in a season. I can’t be mad about them bringing in a guy with 6 seasons over 1k (even if 4 of them were before Covid was a thing and 2 were socially distanced). Cooks is a pro. He’s proven that he can get open. He isn’t the player that he was a decade ago but he’s an upgrade to some of the guys they have now. We shouldn’t expect him to be dynamic but he may contribute a little. For Thanksgiving, that’s not a bad addition.

11 dbs is McD’s dream defensive formation. It’s why he keeps drafting DL built like DBs. Not very good against the run, but can chase a RB from behind all the way down the field like nobody’s business

That made me look up our wr yds per game. 🤮 Coleman everyone's scapegoat is actually 2nd at a whopping 36 a game. Then Palmer at 34.

A good reminder. The 2021 season is an especially apt comparison. For the sake of perspective, Allen was throwing to Diggs, Davis, Beasley, McKittrick, and Kumerow, with Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Ford, and a struggling Brown up front, Singletary at running back, and Knox at tight end. In 2025, he clearly has a better line, a much better back, better tight ends, and worse receivers, maybe much worse, since he has a Beasley in Shakir but no Diggs and arguably no Davis. I would say it's a wash overall, except for one factor: offensive coordinator. Sorry to the dwindling band of Brady apologists, but if the Bills sink this year, it won't be because of injuries, the lack of receivers, the porous run defense, or even the head coach. It will be because of a remarkably inept offensive coordinator who I predict will be a position coach on another team next year. Commentators will shake their heads at the wasted year. The truly incredible Allen can work with a below-average WR corps and compensate for a defense that doesn't always do its part, but even he can't do always do magic with the garbage coming into his ear on every down.

Another thing I appreciate about Allen, is that despite his efficiency he doesn’t seem to try to protect his stats. He will throw up a 50/50 ball before he’s ready on a critical down to try to win the game if that’s what the situation calls for. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve seen Lamar Jackson eat a sack rather than take a risk downfield.

The collusion, if any, would have been between the Bills and Cooks, with the Bills trying to talk a member of the Saints roster out of playing for them and jumping to another team. If the Saints didn't want him, they could have just cut him.

Well they can't scratch him so....Cooks, Palmer, Shakir, Coleman, Shavers, Gabe? Think that's the best we can do. Of course Coleman primarily red zone.

Is there some kind of penalty for colluding with the Saints if that is what occurred?

Shocking I say!

If Putting a rookie learning his position into a completely different position because we are decimated with injuries doesnt seem problematic to you, it should.

I guess I'll hold onto my Super Bowl tickets for another week

Let's just say I'm glad I was sitting down when I read we signed him!!

Just yesterday I read an article about how Cooks wanted out of NO. The team waived him which meant anyone picking up the waiver claim would be on the hook for his existing contract, and Cooks knew that because he obviously intended to sign for a particular unnamed team. So then he was released, no longer waived, and was a FA. Lo and behold the team Cooks wanted to play for was just hanging around, waiting for the phone to ring from his agent. It sure sounds like Cooks and the Bills colluded, but it could simply be that Cooks looked around for a team with a good QB and a need for WRs, and decided the Bills would be the best landing spot. Let's see what he can do.

I'm not sure if he is the answer but credit to Beane for acknowledging we need help at WR and getting the best available guy.

I mean, he can definitely get deep and if he has anything left, could help out some...

He'll fit right in our WR group with those numbers

How is his blocking ? Hey …we are at the stage now where you may as well try anything .. but from what I saw last game Brandin Cooks ain’t fixing all that..

Can't wait for Beane to go on the Pat McAfee show and brag about this one

You're not impressed by Cooks averaging 16.5 yards per game so far this year?

Can he return punts? Seems like a Hardman fill in.

all new players should be required to show up with their own set of crutches
