I’ve been told they tried hard to trade Coleman for another WR

 

It's amazing how many board members are "told" things from a regime that even Adam Schefter can't get info on. Yet every third poster on this board has a trusted source.

how many made Josh Allen better , and his life easier ?

 

 

Did Mack Hopkins suck? How about Gabe Davis in the 13 seconds season? Amari Cooper had his moments. Stop painting with such a broad brush.

You joke, Brady does not. If Brady can make nothing at all out of Moore, Samuel, and Palmer, all of whom did better with their previous OC, he is not going to do much with Cooks--or even a Waddle or Jefferson. The man's mediocrity isn't even entirely hidden by the best QB of his generation executing his patty-cake plays. 

Ya his offense at LSU when he was the offensive coordinator was awful 🙄. The guy isn’t the best but I don’t think he lost all creativity. I think it’s more likely he sits in the corner and gets the scraps after McD gets his pick on defensive players in the draft and then the product is what we see weekly with guys who can’t get open so they resort to WR screens and other gimmicky plays at the line of scrimmage. I did think last week he completely blew it though. Why go away from your same ol offense the one week you needed it against the pass rush we will see all season.

As per the tweet I posted and you commented on:..We are taking since Diggs moved on …

 

They clearly should have helped him more at the WR position… it’s why they are getting ridiculed so much now ..

 

Hollins caught 30 for 400 yards … Cooper was here half a season ..,had a few decent games but unfortunately got injured and basically disappeared 

They needed to make a bigger investment at the position .., no doubt they will this off-season ..

The difference is that Schefter has to confirm it, I don’t. I was told that by a friend who works for the Bills. I’m just passing it along

29 teams ahead of the Bills didn't want him. Not a good omen.

 

Look on the bright side - next year we'll probably be 14th on the waiver wire list.

He starts Sunday, and is immediately our #1 WR.  Welcome to Buffalo, Mr. Cooks!

Argument to be made that he's our best WR immediately.

Wowza, that is a truly sad state and even after trade deadline. Yikes

Zero expectations 

[philholbroo]

starters should still be Palmer, Coleman, Shakir, with Kincaid, Cook

Coleman shouldn’t be taking any snaps

Were the Bills colluding with the Saints? If so, how do the Pats benefit? 

compensatory pick to the Patriots prolly

[In Summary]

Can he rush the passer?

[Dan Darragh]

Hard to imagine we ended up here when Isaiah Hodgins was available just a short while ago.

So Palmer, Shakir, Coleman, Moore, Samuel, Shavers, Cooks all on the 53 plus Gabe on the PS? Seems like too many spots unless Coleman is scratched for the season

Don’t worry, another IR will take care of the numbers, bet. 🙈

We need to put to rest the combination of the name "Brady" and the phrase "scheme him open." If Cooks doesn't get open in the mesh concept, he can join Palmer, Moore, Coleman, and Shavers. In Brady's scheme, wide receivers come to die. 

 

Yes, but if we have a WR1 who defenses have to respect, it should make it easier for all to get open even without Brady coming up with answers...

Count me in. We can hate on everything Bean does or we can just be happy to try a new guy. It won’t take much to help. Help is 

 

With a whopping 19 catches, Cooks has more catches this year than Samuel, Elijah Moore, Shavers, Gabe Davis and Palmer.

and the Bills will use that pick to draft a 185 pound DT with "unlimited upside potential"

Well, I don’t want false hopes on Cooks, but it has to be better than our current stable.  At this point I’m ready to release Coleman after the season.  No one is going to trade for him so keep him until March as we may need in case of emergency break glass down the run.

 

McD behind closed doors needs to rake Brady over the coals to get more creative and adjust in game to our opponents.  We don’t ever need to know about it and maybe he’s already done it.  Never air dirty laundry to us.

 

So bring on Cooks.  I don’t know if he can handle the Pitt. game, but Cooper did it last year.  He’s an 11 year vet.  If you give him simple routes in the tree, he’ll grow with playbook the following week with Cincy.
