Exactly. It’s about as clean a swap as you can have.
And Cooper is a legitimate outside WR.
Not sure I can say the same about Diggs anymore. He can do it, but clearly Houston values him in the slot & he got clamped far too often outside for us when it mattered.
And also let's see how "late season" Diggs looks - Curious whether it was mostly scheme here or injuries/apathy

The trade speaks volumes about how our potential is viewed THIS YEAR. Shakir dinged up and our pre-Cooper stable of WRs left obvious room for improvement but it's not like we had to swing a big trade. So we go out and get a guy of similar caliber to Diggs minus the drama. Von coming back in 3 weeks, Milano possibly late in the season. Cooper should be fully acclimated by the time we hit the really tough games like KC and SF. PLUS we get the bonus of a Cooper test drive for the rest of this year.

Such a bad move - It's like getting a Ferrari with a history of repairs when you only have half of a garage . . .

A lot of disagreement on the decision to rush two on the Hail Mary play. My two cents:
The Jets actually have a decent O-line, in which they invested heavily in the off-season. Had the Bills rushed four, it's more likely than not that Rodgers still has the time to make the throw, and then there are two less defenders downfield. Rushing two was the right decision, IMO.
Where the play failed was similar to the Hail Murray pass a few years ago. In that play, it was Hopkins vs. Hyde, Poyer, and White-- arguably the three best players on D at the time. They didn't come down with it, because each of them was going for the interception, rather than batting it to the ground. When Rodgers threw that HM last night, it was into a sea of blue, and everyone was going for the ball, rather than knocking it away. You can blame coaching for that if you want-- every defender in that end zone should have been playing D, not WR. Maybe they need a volleyball day at practice?
Respectfully disagree - Context matters and Rogers is not very mobile, and we were getting to him with pressure. And as you said, there was a sea of blue in EZ - There still would have been a lot of blue down there even if we rushed a couple more guys. We'll never know how it would have played out, but I like our chances a lot more not giving him an automatic shot to the EZ.

When asked about the Hail Mary by Laura Rutledge before the half, McD told her, "...we were guarding the sidelines." I've seen a couple mentions in this thread that our TWO pass rushers had responsibility of the sidelines. But I'm more curious of the big picture: There was 8 seconds on the clock, from their own 48 yd line. Our head coach was concerned about defending the sidelines? He's coaching like the worst outcome was a 20yd completion that yields the Jets a long FG attempt with 1 second left in the half. No! The worst outcome is you give Rodgers all night to complete a Hail Mary! I can't believe he admitted out loud what he was doing.
In that same interview, he basically said we needed to knock the ball down in the end zone - This is key because he views the result as a lack of execution by the players rather than a huge gaffe by him and/or the defensive coordinator!! Blitz or at least have 4/5 guys on the line rushing the passer - Way, way too conservative and dumb in a key moment of the game. Totally unrelated to the above, I agree with the game balls per the other thread but also want to note that Samuel got going a bit and also Knox, so some signs of life from some of our quieter offensive players. While unwatchable at times due to penalties, it was a satisfying win in my book with a lot of great plays!

I want to see the Bills get off to a good start on both Offense and Defense.....this team always plays better when they get an early lead(Miami, Jacksonville), and not so great when they get off to a slow start(Baltimore, Texans).
I want to see a three and out by the D, followed by a TD drive by the O.
Go Bills!!
Agreed - Think I'd like to see a pass for our first offensive play of the game (short/simple).

Johnson on O and Carter on D (i.e., I'm going with the presidential names!)

That's actually my biggest concern for Monday night: Will Josh get abused to the point where it threatens this season (and beyond)? In a way, for different reasons, both teams' fans should be very worried about the health of their QBs Monday night.

Anything can happen but I expect a relatively low-scoring slugfest with a lot of big plays on defense by both teams. Concerned Allen won't get into a comfortable groove. But the Jets aren't a very good team overall. So I'm going with Bills 23 Jets 16 [lots of field goals!]

He has every right not to share the details of his health with the world.

Couple of things in mind, Allen is too focused on not throwing interceptions. Allen is still trying to gel with his Receivers, however the receivers are having a hard time getting open. Finally, Allen thrives off of mid field throws but since these receivers are taking a while to get open he loses focus and patience in the pocket which results in him making errant throws.
Still, you have to wonder if these receivers truly know the routes they should be running or is it all on Josh.
He came extremely close to throwing one or two against Houston - He/we got very lucky.

I wonder if he is hiding an injury since the trick play against Baltimore. He's not stepping into his throws. And I never saw him run so slow as yesterday.
The more I think about it the more I angry I get about that play. You split Allen out wide, ensuring the whole defense notices him and he has no line to protect him. Then, instead of running a play to the other side, you pitch him the ball and ask him to pass?
Your franchise QB passing without an offensive line. No wonder he got crushed. It's criminally stupid.
And he should rightfully be pissed off at the coaches for putting him in that position - A lot of woe can be traced back to that one play!

Now that I've had time to sleep on this game, here's a few thoughts and frustrations. I'm fine with the bills throwing at the end, really don't think it would've made a difference. However, if you're gonna throw, why not take some deep shots? I mean doesn't kc live off this? You throw deep and maybe get a pi call, and all of a sudden they're in fg range. Throwing 10 yard passes at your goal line does absolutely nothing. Brady needs to get more creative. Our recievers are 3 and 4 depth recievers. Don't need to run trick plays, but have to do something to create some space. Maybe more motion, some slants etc. Gotta stop with the 1 yard screens to Samuel.
When you're throwing from your own end zone and facing a lot of pressure all day, I can understand not throwing deep balls b/c you risk a sack. And even a hand off running play could be risky (given we'd been stuffed a number of times). That's why at least one QB sneak (on first down) to burn time/force timeout would have been a good start. And maybe we gain 2-3 yards and get more breathing room? And then either another QB sneak or play action pass on 2nd down?
And to be clear, my philosophy at that point in the game is to get to OT. We were on our own 3 yard line! No need to try to win the game from that spot/situation. No need to do anything fancy. Just try to move the ball a bit and either get a first down or at least kill clock//make them use multiple time outs.

He's been so bad (in his rare opportunities). Very disappointed with his play. Thought he was supposed to be a dynamic playmaker? He's done nothing at all.

I think the turf-toe injury probably ended his season.
OK, then don't play him at all. Just weird to me that the rare instances when he's in a play, it's a completely worthless play. And he doesn't look to have anything of value to add.

Samuels, e.g., has been a complete disaster - He has had zero impact. He looks slow and crappy.

No one compared him to Henry. I said Mixon is the type of back that can take advantage of our back LBs and Slot.
so your point was- Mixon is not Derrick Henry? Got it 🤷🏻♂️
He said that we’re “constantly beat to hell”- the chiefs have not been constantly beat to hell. They are right now
I didn't say you made that comparison, my friend. All good!

really? I think the opposite. without him it’s likely they are more inclined to pass the ball, something we are better at stopping. with him in they at least have a better chance at exploiting the run defense and pass defense as a result with some pa.
if hes in, he’s making a difference. at least to me.
If they control they game and we have to pass all day it might be a problem.
texans pass D is solid.
stingley/lassiter/pitre/ward/bullock are no joke.
Fair points - Maybe my main point got lost in translation a bit - Mixon (in a vacuum) is not nearly on par with Henry in my view. But I totally agree that an effective Texans ground game would be concerning. Career stats also favor Henry pretty resoundingly.
