Oh boy, i looked at some of the national sentiment on social media. Lots of media types are clowning on the Bills for this signing.  I mean it’s worth a swing right?!

 

A couple of things are true here:  it's worth a swing, and we deserve to be clowned for it.

I would still like to try and trade for Waddle in the offseason…God knows Beane’s 1st round pick won’t be worth crap…

Do we still move on if Cooks turns out good?

No cuz it's easier to call the move dumb before he plays a down kinda like we dumb moves to trade for that bust of DE named Hughes a few years back or signed that guy named Lorax who did nothing before arriving here or signed that 33 year old WR gave us a horrible 166 yards for us in 1989 but for some reason kept him around after. His name was James Lofton.

Are people complaining about signing Cooks hating the move or hating something better wasn't done sooner? If it's the latter then there isn't anything that can be done about it now. This is pretty much all that was left to do. So it was Cooks or nothing, right?

And it's been reported he tried to get Waddle and who knows what happened without being reported.

It’s a good move at this point…people are understandably mad about the past though lol

 

I honestly might’ve tried to block it if I was the pats who could’ve used a wr also…idk if he’ll amount to anything but it’s all upside for pretty much 0 investment 

 

cooks likely wanted the bills by name cuz he wants to get his career back on track to the point where the saints were trying to game the system to make sure he got there so the motivation is there.  Guys just collecting a paycheck waiting to retire don’t typically agree to pay cuts to leave their team

No he's being a good GM trying to improve his roster based on what's available and at value he willing to take on. 

No he put us in this position because of his inability to evaluate WR's AND his damn ego.  We shouldnt' even be here.  Coleman should be McConkey at the minimum and even with out that, he should have addressed WR in the offseason or at the trade deadline.

Yeah damn Beane for drafting Kincaid in 2023 when could gotten that great Chiefs DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah.

Cause it is dumb. The guy hasn't hit 1000 yards since 2021. He's not going to make them any better. This regime refuses to target actual elite talent.

Desperation time.

A classic Beane move: find your answer to the receiver problem in the scrap heap of discarded players no other teams want!

 

Beane "The Dumpster Diver" 

 

This guy is an embarrassment.

Palmer was one of the 5 best WRs in the off-season. I'm sick of people commenting on McConkey because he doesn't give us the outside WR we lack.  60% of his snaps are in the slot in LA. What WR got moved at the trade deadline. Jakobi Meyers wooo another slot WR.

[DapperCam]

Our WR have combined for 7 TDs this season. That's gotta be near the bottom of the entire league, right?

And sometimes all you need is a guy that can make a catch on 2nd and 6 to move the chains to get a first down so don't go to 3rd and 6 and eventually punt the ball.

So what does this mean for Keon Coleman?  They can only carry but so many receivers.

[Steptide]

I can't wait for a screen pass to cooks 2 yards behind the LOS this Sunday 🤣

Not sure but we still have 11 more passing TDs. But you only canpass it to WRs, right?

I mean...is anyone in our current WR corps better than him? Argument to be made that he's our best WR immediately.

 

The guy is also an a**hole which I think this team needs more of. 

But he has 19 catches in 10 games.

Did anyone mention how close Diggs and Cooks are in age? He might have one last run left in the tank.
