McCoy would be gone too,

Roster stays as is, stadium will be full against the Jets.

They would have an empty stadium if they did that.

They have enough draft ammo now to trade up in the draft.

Me neither.

If they did trade him, then McCoy is gone too. So is the fanbase for the season. No reason to watch at all then.

He's a low end starter and elite backup. The Bills didn't even draft him. negative value-no.

He's a Rams fan now.

Considering the grief that the Pegulas received for their hockey team's shameful losing campaign, you can understand why the owners wouldn't have the stomach to repeat it with their NFL franchise. BILLS TRADE SAMMY WATKINS BLOCKBUSTERS: BILLS TRADE WATKINS, DARBY Graham: Bills leaders admit they'll need to sell trades to team, fans Gaughan: Long-term good for Bills is still hard to swallow New Bills WR Jordan Matthews in pictures So in typical fashion, the Bills are out to win in the short term while hoping to get better down the road. Over the years, I've argued that middling it to placate fans has held the Bills back, costing them more chances to pick near the top of the draft and perhaps get their franchise quarterback. Beane and McDermott played it down the middle by bringing back Tyrod Taylor, Kyle Williams and LeSean McCoy. I felt stripping down the roster and bottoming out was more advisable, but evidently, they felt they could have it both ways. Friday is further evidence of that."

Watkins didn't miss much time in 2015.

10 wins gets the WC.

Just use some common sense-not saying to be nasty-but if I were him I wouldn't be happy right now. he knows Matthews is a step down-not what an organization does to win now.

I said 8-8 can if they get a few breaks. Not 8-8 in itself. Look how Miami did it last season. We should have won the second game. Then beat the Jets with TT next week.they got some breaks and got in, but it could have been us also. An 8-8 type has a chance. A 6-10 team does not. 8-8 is an average team. 6-10 is not.This team was barely average, maybe with Watkins. not so anymore.

McCoy is not very happy right now.

http://billswire.usa...ordan-matthews/ “[There’s] obviously a difference,” McCoy said. “If you compare the two, it’s obvious you can agree who is better.” This doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement for Matthews, who was actually a teammate of McCoy’s in the 2014 season, the 29-year-old’s final season in Philadelphia. McCoy seems to be upset about the trade, and rightfully so. Football players always want to win, and on the surface, the trades that the Bills made on Friday were made with long term success in mind. Watkins is undeniably a more explosive receiver that Matthews, and was slated to be the focus of Buffalo’s offense along with McCoy."

8-8 has a chance at the WC with a few lucky breaks to get 9-10 wins. 6-10, forget it.

How depressing.

Really? Watkins is an elite talent. the Bills are worse today. I had them 8-8, now 6-10.

yep. 6-10.

Matthews is equal to Watkins? A healthy Watkins can be a star in this league. Not Matthews. me too.

We don't know that.
