This thread seems underwhelmed by the addition of Cooper.
Not sure what kind of reaction you expected?

He's a legit #1 WR in the NFL.....maybe a bit on the lower end of the legit #1 WR spectrum, but a legit #1.

As long as Josh doesn't get fixated on getting him the ball like he would to Diggs sometimes, it's a fantastic add that opens up room for Kincaid, Shakir, Coleman and even Samuel....and Cook. Still gotta spread the ball around to the open guy though.

It was critical to get someone on the outside who can beat man coverage! Cooper is that guy the opposing defenses must respect.

Love the addition. I expect him to blow up now that he is away from that useless bum Watson.
He does lead the league in drops (9). Something to keep a eye on.

Current Bill's WR coach Adam Henry was his in 2021 coach, so I'm sure was big on his acquisition, but Brady was Samuel's as well, so ?

Cooper isnt the prettiest girl. isnt sexy as Adams or Hopkins are.
Every NFL team is getting North of $400m per season just in TV money alone. Thats before a single ticket, tshirt, jersey, beer, burger or balcony suite is sold. NFL teams should be literal printing presses for cash money.
Thsts s big reason why football still existed in Covid because the tv money alone morr than covers the players while nhl tv money dorsnt cover teams cap.

Two legit Ones. Keon and Cooper. A great hands two. Kincaid. Even if cooper is a decoy after he connects w a couple deep balls. This totally opens up Keon Samuel Shakir Kincaid Cook/Davs.

Is he a football geek? Hopefully. He certainly welcomed contact in that replay. Impressive.

Dak and Watson blow. Could work out well certainly changes D and helps the Running game immensely. . Stretches that box

Especially if he’s healthy.

Looks like this was Beanes move since the Diggs trade. Wait til salary is under two and get a rental w an option to buy. Chess.

The doghouse
It's funny how many here are harping on the Jets for throwing away a 3rd pick for a top WR, but when the Bills do it it's amazing.

IMO this trade is just a reaction to missing out on Adams.
The reasons people are harping on the Jets is because they are floundering 2-4 team who have looked horrible for most of the season, WR is not a need, and they have an awful offensive line so this is misguided.

Those reasons don’t apply to the bills. If the chiefs or ravens or a number of teams got Adams, that harping would not exist.

Yes they had a need. Throwing away a 3rd for Cooper is a waste, IMO this team is not a Super Bowl contender. Even with Cooper this offense is not scary.

Who do you think are Super Bowl contender from the AFC. Just the chiefs? Surely not the ravens, who have had far less success than the bills in the postseason

AFC representatives are Ravens, Chiefs and Texans. With the Bills, Bengals, Chargers as a tier below.

None of those teams have a chance against any of the top NFC teams that can score.

The Chargers are not in the same Tier as Buffalo, who is in the same tier as Houston.

the ravens and Lamar Jackson have been horrible in the playoffs. Not sure how 13 seconds disqualifies the bills and the ravens playoff performances don’t do the same

While they have been horrible in the past, the one thing they do have that Bills don't is a coach who knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl.

BB having PTSD from when Allen nuked them and Manning yelling at him to throw it away only for him to complete the pass cracked me up:


didnt think of that the first time i watched it but ya bilbo knew from the minute pressure started that allen had a roll to the right open

Peytons like I could never do that

Here’s another thing about Cooper…

Diggs wasn’t your prototypical outside X receiver. Gabe kinda was, but he was meh. Smoke? He was a burner but smaller.

Josh hasn’t played with a receiver like AM. We hope Coleman develops into something similar, hopefully, but he’s not there yet.

Cooper has the route running technique of Diggs, with more size and that long ball threat. I hate giving up assets for rentals but this is an absolute grand slam trade.
