Did McDermott bench Cook?

[QB Bills]

Replays showed Cook visibly upset on the sidelines after that ridiculous play call to Moore on 4th down. And I don't believe he saw the field after that. Coincidence?

 

They do take him off the field at times when playing from behind here and there but not entirely like they did today.

I’m getting the vibe that the top offensive players Allen,cook,Dawkins are pretty close to mutiny against our defense infatuated HC and his uber conservative tendencies in all facets of this team! We have the strongest armed qb in football and one of the most explosive home run backs and we have an offense schemed for a Jerome Bettie Trent dilfer combo lol it’s insanity

Hey, I admit, I think - or thought...- Ty Johnson is a crazy good 3rd back. Almost an extra receiver. But this year, not so muchfor some reason. Davis has been good for these little swing passes (use them again!) but not as a RB between th tackles. Use Cook more, period. And when they need 1 or 2 yards, TRUST THE OLINE! They never do and get cute. Enough already.

It’s weird, it’s almost like Ty Johnson is a scrappy guy that was barely in the league and cook is an elite back. 
 

you look to Atlanta and when they needed to win it was bijan everywhere despite allgeier being a good 2…

[Pecker]

I do think he came in on the following series on 2nd down and got a 7-8 yard run.  Then was off again for 3rd 3ish

He benches him every week.

They pulled cook out at cruising points in the game when only cook was working.  
 

it’s like we wanted to lose

Please tell me this isn’t true

If he did then a fan revolt is in the offing.  

[TheFunPolice]

They refused to play Cook in the most important minutes in the AFC championship game too 

 

It's a pattern: crunch time= send your elite playmaker to the sidelines 

 

It's inexplicable 

 

I love Cook and don't blame him. He wants to be out there helping his team when they need him most.

 

 I honestly don't get it. If you're going down, go down with your best guys having a chance at least.

Andy Reid and Kelce get into a fight almost every week.  
 

Please tell me this didn’t happen.  

[Chugga]

The coaching staff doesn’t trust Cook to block.  So as soon as the game went into full pass mode he was off the field.  It’s insane that your best offensive weapon isn’t trusted to be on the field.  I’d rather trot out Ty and Cook and pull Moore off the field if you’re so worried about blocking.  He needs to be on the field

[wppete]

If he did bench him Pegula needs to permanently bench McDermott.  McDermott treats his players like high schoolers.

It's not.

But Cooke is definitely frustrated with his usage, and should be.

[Heavy Kevi]

It was criminal how little Cook was in tonight on the most important situational plays.

 

He must have punched a baby or spit on a coach for how many times he should have been on the field for a huge play but wasn't.

[Shortchaz]

He needs his rest

[BigPappaPump]

I’m sorry, but Cook should definitely be on the field in critical situations. He’s our second best weapon behind 17, and on a night when we had nobody else producing, he should have been out there. Chiefs playoff game last year & tonight, he’s on the sideline. He’s now paid like a top RB, use him like one. A good coaching staff should be able to figure out a way to use him in those situations. 

[PauleeeWalnuts]

He’s not a good blocker, that’s why they pull him on 3rd down. He should be getting the ball a lot more

it’s like when they refused to play him in the red zone when he’s a scoring machine. 
 

he needs to be on the field 3rd downs, if nothing else as a threat

It was a stupid play call by Brady and I so sick of the Bills call that and those bubble screens that usually end up in holding call.

How about sending him out on a wheel route,  tired of seeing those stupid jumps balls to Coleman
