If you have the two fastest WRs in the NFL and 3 of the fastest RBs in the NFL and you can't figure out a way to be competitive with a backup QB then maybe you're not the offensive genius everyone is hyping you up to be. They didn't look good with Tua in either the games he played.

They only got Cooper so cheap because they took on a huge contract. If this was the Hopkins from three years ago I might agree with you, he's a high end role player at this point.

Samuel being as bad as he's been is not something I think anyone could have truly expected. To me, Beane gets a pass here, because analytics guys really liked the Samuel pickup as well as casual observers. Nobody thought it was enough, but everyone thought it was a good start. I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense to pay RBs anymore if the rest of your offense isn't set. So sure, with the benefit of hindsight maybe that would have been a great move. Nobody has that in the moment though.

Honestly that makes the Amari Cooper trade look even better by comparison. It's a worthwhile move though.

I'm not sure what you mean with Jefferson, but I agree with everything else.

He just looks like he's given up on the team and honestly I don't blame him much. He shouldn't have signed there if he wanted more than a payday though.

This reminds me of when Sammy Watkins went to the Chiefs, where he underperformed but ultimately was a good signing for the Chiefs. Hopkins will probably be a helpful role player that can help take some of the attention away from their rookie and Kelce. It's a good move.

People were so quick to tell me I was wrong when I said the extension was premature and a poor decision by the Dolphins.

100%. He's disgusting and I wouldn't want to hear any player I'm rooting for defend him.

Considering Winston's past, I'm not shocked. Birds of a feather and all that.

Let's not count the chickens before they hatch. The Bills are a good team but this season they've been bipolar. A lot of highs and more lows than we are used to on a Josh Allen team. Baffling coaching decisions in critical situations as well. I wouldn't bet on them to lose any of the next three, but I wouldn't be surprised if they drop one too.

I think when it takes that long to overturn a call on the field, it means that there isn't clear and obvious evidence to overturn the call. To the letter of the rule, maybe it's not a TD, I can't say. In real time it's being called a TD every time by every officiating crew. That's a TD in my book, and an insane individual effort.

This probably more of it than a lot of posters might want to admit. That's not to say Davis isn't good, he seems decent, but the O-Line is cooking in run blocking. When your RB3 (Ty Johnson) doesn't look like a huge drop from your RB1, you probably have a good O-Line.

That’s in line with what I meant, maybe I wasn’t clear.

The slow starts are a trend and it’s concerning. Coaching really needs to do something to kickstart the team. Brady called an okay game. Excellent in the 2nd half, icky in the first. McDs prevent style play the first half made Rudolph look like Tom Brady. Glad they got it figured out but it was so predictable. Cooper is already a contributor and that’s awesome. Imagine his targets going to Hollins today instead, would he have caught one of those balls?

He's a franchise LT who has played great even though he's had a revolving door of guards. The only person you can make an argument for otherwise is Taron.

The dead cap should be factored in. That being said, I'll still take Cooper and the 2nd.

I wasn't trying to imply Cooper was a bad route runner, sorry if it came off that way. Ultimately they're both excellent receivers, but Cooper is probably a better fit for the Bills today than Diggs would be.

He's certainly comparable. Diggs may be a slightly better route runner, Cooper is probably slightly better at contested catches. Neither is a top tier deep threat at this point in their careers (although he's certainly better than anyone on the roster right now). Cooper has had way more playoff success, and probably more success as a WR with less.

Losing nothing of value.

My mistake, sorry. Go Bills.

Have you watched the Browns this season at all? Watson is not only terrible but his passes have been completely unpredictable. Cooper's drop rate has never been an issue historically.

Hasn't Shavers been dressing?

Man I love this trade. Great value and an excellent player. He's going to do well with Allen and it will free up Coleman in coverage.

He's so cheap that he's saving tons of money getting haircuts at home; no way he's paying a guy who doesn't play for them anymore.
