You can't believe it because it's not true; he has one more year (2025) in his four-year rookie deal. I'll blame it on the spiked eggnog!

Play him till the last day of his contract and draft a similar player. Invest the money in the O-line and D-line to get difference makers there. Or use that money for a dominant outside WR. Much harder to draft a game-wrecking end than a shifty back with good vision. Remember Shaun Alexander? In 2005 he was on fire. Crazy stats: Alexander rushed for 1,880 yards, breaking the Seahawks' franchise record. He also led the NFL in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Total touchdowns Alexander set an NFL record with 28 total touchdowns. Next season, he had half of those rushing yards. Three years after his record-breaking season he was finished. With a dominant O-line other backs can have great success with the Bills.

Love those highlights! He looks like a man throwing little boys to the ground!

Cooper will finish the year with maybe 600 yards tops. He might not cost that much. If we can get him at a decent rate for no more than two years I would be ok with that. Draft a traits outside receiver. Do not sink money into running backs no matter how much we love them now; use that money for impact guys on the D-line and O-line if necessary.

Didn't realize Cook is approaching a Bills record this season: Cook’s 14 rushing touchdowns have measured 1, 49, 6, 5, 11, 2, 7, 2, 3, 6, 65, 41, 6 and 46 yards. His four touchdowns of at least 40 yards are a new Bills record, breaking a tie with O.J. Simpson, who had three in three different seasons. Cook is entering the statistical stratosphere of Simpson in Bills history. The Juice rushed for 16 touchdowns during his 14-game season in 1975; Cook now has 14 with two games remaining. He trails Allen (15 in 2023) and Simpson. Even if he ties OJ, a 17 vs 14-game season is a huge asterisk but if he ties Josh's record in the same number of games that's something and the best in the last half century. https://buffalonews.com/sports/professional/nfl/bills/buffalo-bills-james-cook-new-england-patriots-nfl-ryan-ohalloran/article_23f5787a-bff7-11ef-b475-17d699477240.html

The educational system is in trouble. Stop making LAMP threads when perfectly fine threads exist that cover your statement.

Still a small chance we hit 30 points now...

Dorian shot out of a cannon! Would like to see him blitz more.

Did I just see a Tyler Bass jersey in the stands!?!

Fair question but there you go. The D has done a lot better as well. And you can't say the turnovers don't count; they're part of the D and you take the bad D plays with the good and/or lucky.

There ya go. I'm critical of McD but credit to him and the staff for adjusting and calling a very good opening drive there.

Great play by Josh, Shakir gotta make the catch.

Love the CB blitz!

I was afraid a Steelers win could have them challenge for the 2 seed but it's too much math for my port-addled brain. I hate the Ravens so I'm rooting for the Steelers...

As much as I am loathe to do so, we are rooting for a Ravens win, right?

Damn. Game over.

Huge stop!!!!

Holy $h**, Noah Eagles head is crazy. In this day and age of hard-to-detect procedures and pieces he looks like a used cars salesman from the 50s. Oh yeah, f*** the Chiefs.

Call me crazy, but I think having HOF b-ball legends as part of ownership will help with the cachet of the Bills in attracting free agents and retaining talent, etc. This along with Bills Mafia (and a really good product) has turned around the pre-Josh Bills franchise reputation of a crappy Siberian outpost of the NFL that no one wants to go to and play for.

Knox's contract runs through 2026 so two more seasons. Johnson is a FA this spring. For the right price (always the qualifier for almost any running back) I'd like to see him back.

Didn't know this and it's extremely impressive: The Buffalo Bills have committed just seven turnovers through 14 games. The NFL record for a full season is eight by the 2019 New Orleans Saints. The Bills’ franchise single-season record is 12 by the Tyrod Taylor-quarterbacked 2016 team. With the soft schedule remaining there's a good chance we beat or tie the Bills team record. And a tie would be better in a 17-game season.

As much as many of us find Steph annoying, there is greater context to this thread — the Bills' explosive play performance in light of letting go a (regular-season) top-five receiver. The "you sure" comment and subsequent reference just makes it extra special. Steph is the one who first implied Josh wasn't as good without him; we now have factual evidence to the contrary. I think we are more than entitled to discuss and enjoy a little fun in light of everything.

How many times for Josh this year? Perhaps they should name it after him by now.

Ok, for 5 seconds I thought it was real.... Still, awesome!
