Looks to me like he may well develop into the guy they wanted when they drafted him. And for sure Andy will know how to use his skill set. I doubt he will ever be the player Hill is though. Tyreek is like 30 lbs heavier and just as fast. Also a great route runner, which Worthy has jet to prove.

PM has the rings but you have to wonder what Josh's career would have looked like if he had gone to KC and Andy? Bills were a disaster when Allen showed up. To me Mahomes and Allen are in a class by themselves. Maybe Burrow also belongs in that group (despite his wardrobe). If you were in a position to draft any of those guys, who would you pick?

The turf toe narrative makes sense to me just based on the eye test before and after yesterdays game.

Lamar looks to me more like the best football player while not being the best QB.

Remind me what the alternative was.

Terrible play call.

And when Cooper is 100%. Like after the bye.

You're right. So it was the other playcalls. Did you see how they were lined up on first down.

That first down call was atrocious. Could only be a run.

Worse series of playcalls I have ever seen.

Rapp was pulling the official off the pile.

This is like a playoff game. Lamar doesn't win those.

Lined up offside too.

There is a lot of back and forth on the need or not for a "true # 1" receiver. Probably just me but I would benefit from understanding what exactly people mean by that. Are we just talking numbers so that it means the guy lining up on the weak side of the LOS in 1 receiver sets? Actually in multiple receiver sets you often have guys lined up at either end of the LOS and, numerically and for playcalling purposes, they are both # 1s. Or do we mean the receiver who most earns his quarterback's trust, is the go to guy and probably the one with the most targets, catches and yards (eg Shakir)? If so, presumably the # 1 could line up as an X, Y or Z receiver. But I think people are referencing a specific skill set. I assume they mean an X type boundary receiver who is a burner (or at least considered fast enough to gain separation) and who can credibly threaten to take the top off of a defence (bearing in mind that in today's game a deep threat will also be positioned as a slot or flanker (Jefferson, Davante Adams) and work all parts of the field). So based on that criteria is Worthy a true # 1? And for those wanting a true # 1, does it also mean they would have preferred Worthy, Leggett or Mitchell to Coleman in the last draft (from amongst those players we could actually draft). Besides being fast some would say that the prototypical # 1 need be big and/or strong. So forget Worthy. The definition can be further limited by requiring that the guy also qualify as the O's principal passing weapon and that he be among the team leaders in targets, catches and yardage, and therefore inferentially that he also have a developed route tree (Jamar Chase, Tyreek).To find someone like that (assuming one is available) your best bet is to burn an early first round pick. And then you often have to wait for the player to develop. Failing that you need to crack a very large cheque to a FA. My view for now is that the Bills O can certainly benefit schematically from having a healthy Cooper. But I dont think you need a great player of that type. A good one should be enuf if you can't find or afford an elite player. You can probably do that. I was interested in Mooney for that role in FA last year, though I doubt anyone would call him a # 1 receiver.

We better start to see some of Amari Cooper soon. Otherwise we have wasted a 3rd. That's a big price to pay for nothing.

Great play Kelce. Time to retire.

That connection is going to be a problem.

All those other ones were too easy.

He's fantastic!!!

Actually should have been a catch. Not showing good hands today.

There was a thing called a trebuchet. You could strap Bass into one of those and he'd just be a spot on the horizon in a nanosecond.

Refs looking for a way.

Run D totally sucks. Everybody knew they were going to run the ball.

Davis a natch.

Bad hold
