Sorry, but they created that situation themselves. They could have kept him for 2017, picked up his option for 2018 (same $$ as Benjamin), and transition tagged him for 2019 without any long-term commitment whatsoever.
When Sammy’s QB needed him to make a play in the playoffs, he did it...repeatedly.When John Brown’s QB needed him, he couldn’t manage to drag a foot.
I’m not stumping for Sammy, but let’s be practical about our comparisons.
Comparing John Brown’s toe drag to Sammy running past defenders in that offense is comparing apples to oranges. Brown failed on that play no question, but playing with Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce is different than Allen, Beasley, and Stonehand Knox. Sammy is given far more opportunity to step up than Brown. Sammy had an average season, and is a talented WR who puts up
average numbers. He’s like the Nick Foles of WR’s. I’ll take him in the playoffs, but wouldn’t depend on him being the leading WR during the regular season. He’s just an expensive number two WR.

It bears repeating that in his four last postseason games, Watkins has 416 yards and is averaging 21.9 yards per touch.
That’s great, I give him credit for that, but he’s not a number one WR who a team can ride to the playoffs. The dude is a playmaker who disappears more often than not. He has played with heart and effort during the playoffs that he lacks during the regular season. He had 3 TD’s this season, that isn’t a number one. Hill and Kelce are the receivers who got this team to the playoffs, Sammy happens to be the one who stepped up during the playoffs.

Sammy Watkins 2019- 52 catches 673 yards 3 TDs
John Brown 2019- 72 catches 1060 yards 6 TDs
This^ Sammy had a great Super Bowl, but between injuries and lack of productivity (3 TD’s in week 1, with none the rest of the regular season), Sammy wouldn’t have had the chance to shine without his team carrying him. Hill and Kelce carried them to the postseason, and Sammy happened to step up at the right time. Take away Mahomes, Hill and Kelce, and who knows where that team would have been. Sammy played well, but take away all the other weapons leaving Mahomes with just Watkins as the number one, and I doubt they have the second seed in the AFC.

Not taking anything away from the kid in general, but no I wasn’t impressed tonight.
He wasn’t great the entire evening, but he willed his team to victory. If Tom Brady has that same performance in a Super Bowl, everyone is talking about his greatness.

They need to run a screen, slow the rush.

Mahomes's ball placement has been really poor today. It's never been his strength but today it's much worse than usual.
Yep, and Hill isn’t bailing him out by making plays he normally does.
-
Mahomes need to get his emotions under control, and settle down on this series.

Bills D back then vs these chumps for the Chiefs are not even on the same planet.
Maybe, but I’m talking about the Chiefs offense crapping the bed. None of their playmakers are making plays, and they’re making errors they haven’t made all season. That’s what reminds of the Bills in the Super Bowl.
-
This really does remind me of a Bills Super Bowl, with the Chiefs playing the role of the Bills.

Bills need to keep adding pieces to their defense. They are good but not elite. Add four front 7 guys with speed. One in free agency and 3 more in the first four picks.
We need to improve the line on both sides of the ball. The SF O line has been the story of this game so far imo.

Dumb cut cost a 1st.
Hill and Kelce both do that all the time. Luckily, the offense is so talented they are usually able to overcome it.

KC receivers love giving up first downs.

that was an awful throwHe’s getting frustrated imo. They aren’t getting the big plays they’re used to, and he tired to force it on third and long. It usually comes so easy for them on offense, it’s easy to understand falling into that trap.
-
Definitely OPI by the letter of law, but I’m not calling it in the big game. Kittle had his defender beat, and I don’t think the push off prevented the D from making a play. I’m only calling PI in the Super Bowl if it definitively prevents a play from being made.
-
They don’t trust Jimmy G. Shanahan playing not to lose.

Another small difference between two similar teams, BUF and SF, our fullback drops passes while there’s is running WR routes and making contested catches.
Our defense is Super Bowl caliber. Our offense is filled with guys who fail at their jobs on a regular basis.

They’re still short on game breaking talent ...
I agree, but I’m more struck by watching the push SF’s O line gets. People seem to like our O line, but there are constantly defenders in our backfield. I’m good with drafting a WR, and doing everything it takes to get a decent O line.

Must be nice to have a useful fullback.

they're a lot like us, but slightly better.
I agree. The only big differences I see are: better play calling, better O line play, and no players that hurt the team on offense. We waste too many plays on guys who don’t pull through (ex. Gore’s one yard runs, and Knox’s collection of stops).

His arm strength is quite underwhelming. Shanahan is good at calling a game which allows him to be a glorified manager.
Shanahan really does a brilliant job calling games that match his QB’s strengths and weaknesses.

Imagine Josh Allen doing that . . .
People are mistaken if think Jimmy G is great though.
-
Is Jimmy G going to get exposed tonight? Great D and Shanahan’s smoke and mirrors can only go so far.
-
So awesome to Andy Reid go for it on forth down. Maybe he’s finally learned his lesson after all the postseason failure.
-
I like placing a bet on a SF skill player, but I’d never do the same with a KC skill player. The Chiefs spread the ball around too much, and if Hill, Watkins, Kelce have a big game, I’m thinking the MVP is going to Mahomes.

Sammy Watkins 'scarred' by Bills trade, didn't want to be in Buffalo

My wife who knows nothing about football commented that he plays soft. She noticed him frequently running out of bounds before contact losing additional yardage, and not always putting effort into his routes. A guy having a couple big days in that KC offense doesn’t impress me that much. He just happened to pick the postseason to have those big games. Watkins has all the talent in the world, but I question if the “extraterrestrial being” or whatever he claims to be is fully devoted to the game.
This^ he’s a decent player to have, but isn’t worth that contract. He needed to be in the same class as Hill, and Kelce to justify it.
