Bills sign Brandin Cooks

From cussing out radio hosts for daring to question it to signing washed up WRs and hoping for a miracle. My how this season has unraveled

WR purgatory

Yes we don’t know the real story.  I am disappointed that the vet guys didn’t chew his arsh 10xs a day.  I’m getting the feeling that the culture is let’s all be friends.  I don’t see any of the players with the LT/Marino/Kelly/Gruden/Add name attitude

This team has become way too complacent. Too many guys just glad to be collecting a paycheck and have lost the fire. McD’s message to the team has gotten old and stale. 

 

IDK if Cooks is a fiery guy but maybe he can add a little juice and get Josh’s head back in the game. We saw Josh pop out of his shell against TB then he got the sht beat out of him against Houston. Let’s see what Josh show’s up against Pittsburgh.

 

As for McBeane, neither of them are going anywhere so as much as I’d like to clean house, it 100% is not happening. Pegula is not getting rid of these guys no matter what the outcome of this season when we are opening a new stadium next year.

 

I’ve said it before, but I think the best we can do is get rid of the OC/DC and get 2 EXPERIENCED guys in there to radically shake up the offensive and defensive schemes. IDK if McD has the humbleness to hand over the reigns of the D to someone else, but his scheme is old and washed when you don’t have the defensive talent that Houston does to run it.

So I wonder if they were trying to trade for shahid and had a deal in place and got screwed over somehow by NO and their GM did Beane a solid by essentially handing him Cooks

This makes sense to me

[Royale with Cheese]

If Cooks can run faster than this, we have an upgrade.

Which is exactly why people are still clowning on Beane.  I mean I'm not mad at the Cooks signing.  It's an attempt at something but it's also a big whatever.  A team at this stage in the build should not have to be dealing with this crap.

COPY. I get it.  what I bolded is the bottom line counter point to mine. I love the discussion > Beane  has not been perfect.  Im trying to be present Now and hope for the best. It is my go to life hack

 

lol GO BILLS

mcD is too fragile to hire anyone other than a Yes man as “DC”.

Shakir, Palmer, Samuel:  79 receptions/917 yards and 30$ million in AV salary COMBINED.

 

Pickens:  67 receptions/1054 yards 3.9 million salary.

And this is a reminder that he wouldn't be used here. Not with Brady. He'd want out just as fast as Diggs did with Brady.

Something to think about: Brandin Cooks, Davante Adams, and a done-for-the-season Mike Evans are the three remaining WRs standing from the historic 2014 NFL wide receiver draft haul:

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 ..

 

 

 

 

 

That's the thing about having a salary cap. You are limited in what you can spend on. The Bills try to hang on to their own. Sometimes those decisions don't work out. 

 

I can understand why the Bills went all in on defense in this past draft. We had a top offense and the D was losing us games. 

 

Now the shoe is on the other foot and our defensive picks are falling flat, though overall the D is giving the offense chances to win.

Agree.  Top guys are not being fired.  Need some focused attitude and accountability between players.  Again, Coleman may be exhibit A.

The missed simplicity over the course of this era as to what better wide receivers would do for this team is mind blowing. Beane has the ingrained philosophy from the Cam Newton era in Carolina, priority number 8 is playmakers on the outside, even after Running backs!

 

I'm not so sure.  Beane did sign Diggs for a lot of money and drafted Keon highly.  I think he values wideouts.

 

But I think Beane has managed the cap poorly.  I think we're overpaying for a bunch of players which meant that this past offseason when we needed WRs, Beane went shopping at Dollar Tree instead of Neiman Marcus.

and getting a Neiman Marcus WR could mean you couldn't add a guy like Bosa, so tell me would this team look better to you if let Shakir walk in UFA replace him with DK Metcalf and never signed Bosa? I will stand on a platform and say no.

During the Beane draft years (2018-25), Coleman is the only premium draft pick (Rounds 1-3) used on a wideout. Valuing the 3 rounds at (8-5-3) a reasonable system IMO. Where do the Bills rank? They rank DEAD LAST in the NFL with 5 points!! An average NFL team spent 21 pts on WR. And basically all the top teams (KC, SF, BAL, GB) during this period spent over the average on WR. Even if you included the Traded First rounder for Diggs the Bills rank in the bottom quartile. He doesn't value receivers high enough and that's how you end up in the pickle we're in. And, yes he has not handled the cap well by resigning a bunch of his draft picks believing he had succeeded in drafting well.
