    Would you mind linking to it? I can't find it. 

    It's surprisingly tough to find it isolated. The best I can find is the game center and the highlight section

    It's under "Mahomes' second INT of day goes into Lenoir's hands in third quarter" 

     

    Worthy gets press at the line and then stumbles a few steps after the release and falls down. Not much world class sprinting can do for you when you're there.

    Week 8 - Bills at Seahawks Game Week Thread

    Thanks for this.

    I live in Portland, which has its share of problems similar to those in Seattle, and unfortunately, that's ALL you hear about -- and more often than not from people who have never stepped foot in the city and are only parroting what they've heard on TV.

    I won't pretend that Portland, and Seattle, and several other west coast cities, don't have major issues with homelessness and petty theft and things like that. But ALL cities have problems -- Buffalo and Rochester are not exempt -- and all cities also have wonderful aspects that make them worth visiting or residing in.

    Seattle, despite its issues, is a beautiful city with great food and drink, great coffee and legal cannabis, kind people, a thriving arts and music scene, and filled with and surrounded by gorgeous nature. Anyone who exclusively talks smack about Seattle (or any city) without also mentioning its virtues -- PARTICULARLY if they've never been there and are just parroting TV talking points -- irritates me. 

    Sorry. Rant over. Thank you for saying what you did. 

    I don't want to get too off topic or make this a PPP thread but the same thing around me. Yes, there are parts of Philadelphia that I would not recommend you walk in at 3 AM with a few grand in your pocket. I could say the same about any city in the nation, but there is a narrative that it's a new circle of hell. It's the narrative that's the difference not the cities for the most part.

     

    My parents moved to the burbs a few years ago talking about how out of control crime in North Buffalo was getting and I had to bite my tongue remembering my childhood that included extensive contact with the unhoused, public intoxication, burglary and someone being shot where there is now an ETS.

    If the Bills can avoid the whole "start slower than molasses and spot the opponents 10 to 14 points" nonsense, they have a great shot at winning.

    Make no mistake, Seattle is a tough place to play, the Seattle running game is no joke, and Geno Smith has been playing well. This is no gimme. Very winnable, though.

    I'd love to see the Bills lean back into the "running the offense through Josh Allen" strategy that they employed in the second half against the Titans. Keep running the ball, yes, but remember that Josh Allen is your quarterback, and gameplan and play accordingly.

    I was shocked today when I looked up NFL passing leaders and saw Geno Smith at the top of the list. I know bye weeks can mess with things but that is shockingly good

    Thanks for posting this.  I kept hearing Cooper entirely tranformed the Bills passing game.  But he played something like 19 snaps and contributed nothing to Keon's 100+ yard game.  

     

    This bodes well for the future.  As Cooper learns the offense, and stays on the field more, he may indeed transform the passing game going forward by drawing coverage away from other targets.  Hopefully, the best is yet to come.  

     

     

    I certainly think he helps. The change doesn't come in a vacuum. Teams were coming out of Cover 2 to sit in routes and as we saw Keon can be deadly on slants. If they want to single up Coop, good for them.

    Same-  all things considered, I don’t think we could’ve come away much better than we did for 2024.  Replacing cooper next season may not be so easy, but I’m holding out some hope that he’s here for another season 🙏🏻 

    Same. I'm glad Beane has some time to evaluate but he's used the analogy of a basketball team: it's great to have big guys, but you need at least one person who can distribute 

     

    Cooper, Coleman, Shakir, Kincaid and Cook is a base I feel better about considering the start of the year.

    Well worth it.

    As I've said, we basically got Cooper , a 2nd,5th and 6th for Diggs ,a 3rd and 7th

     

    Brilliant 

    If someone told me back in March/April that we'd have that effective swap, would front load a cap hit of $4M and be free in clear in 2025 I would have been a lot calmer on draft night

    Diggs' Drama

    I wonder if Brandon Beane gets headlines like this and goes "not my problem anymore" 

     

    I wanted the Bills to hold onto him this year. My argument was that however we wanted to improve it would be better with Diggs than no Diggs and less cap space. And believe me I was thinking about that after the Ravens and Texans.

     

    Right now? Looking at just how calm Cooper is and how jovial Keon is, seeing them both coming alive and knowing that because of the deal the Bills are in the black on cap space and have an extra 2nd? Yeah, this seems worth it

    While I have serious doubts that he will ever be a WR1, and I believe him developing into a WR2 would meet more of what my expectations for him are, he has definitely flashed some potential.  But it is going to come down to the way the staff uses him.  Outside of a couple of busted coverages, he hasn't shown the ability to get consistent separation down the field which we all knew was going to be a problem coming out of college.

     

    However, he has shown the ability to get separation quickly on slants in the short to intermediate areas of the field.  He's had mixed results with the back shoulder/timing contested stuff, but we know he does that well and it should only get better and more consistent with reps and time on task.  It's tougher to win the contested catch stuff the NFL than it was in college because DBs are just better, but even if the success rate comes down, he can still make big plays on occasion for us.

     

    All this said, he is one of the players that will benefit most from having Cooper on the field creating more space for him to work.  He should see plenty of one on one opportunities and if the coaches play to his strengths with the slants, stop routes, crossers, and back shoulder throws where he can use his frame to box people out, he should definitely see an uptick in production.  I think with Cooper here, you will see a little more consistency out of him and 850 yards and 5-6 TDs is absolutely possible for him this year.

    It's still early. Keenan Allen has never been a burner but has been highly productive in his career. But as a high caliber #2? I think  there's good odds on that.

     

    I saw someone point out that Peerless Price was a #2, but with Moulds they formed the WR of the Drought era. Tell me anyone here wouldn't take that combo on their prime.

    Was hysterical watching Worthy get steamrolled into an interception. Kid is so weak.  He’ll make some plays over the next 4 years, but I don’t think he’ll be worth his draft position due to extreme weakness

    I just saw the video. The dude is going to get press covered hard until the bulks up

    Ray Davis is better than James Cook

    There, I said it, Sue me

    I'm broke anyway, good luck..

     

    .

    I won't say "better" but I think that I can make a convincing case that he should be our 1st and 2nd down back: We saw teams plug the front to stop Cook who thrives when he has wiggle room. David has more of a power attack. Cook I see as a poor man's CMC (which right now is better than actual CMC) and Samuel has never looked right so why not use him as a WR/RB hybrid?

    The top receiving options of Cooper/Coleman/Shakir/Kincaid has a ton of potential. Love what I saw today!

     

    At this point I would IR Samuel to work through the toe and shoulder(?) injury and let the top 4 guys get to work. Then if he gets fully healthy on the backend of the season Samuel could add a nice little wrinkle into the offense as a pure gadget guy. 

     

    And man I love the one-two punch of Cook and Davis. 

    I agree on Samuel. He hasn't been right since Week 1. Reinforcements have arrived and Cook can do a lot of the things I expected Samuel to be doing now that Davis is a solid between the tackles runner
