Come on TT !!

Come in D !!

Big 3rd down coming up

Not another DB injury !

D is totally confused. No pressure, no coverage

Would like to see a long drive now. Ending in points, any points

O has to pull it's weight. D having a bad second half

"Zay Jones for a first down" . Never thought I would hear that

Need to develop a semblance of a vertical game. Too short and medium focused

Please don't throw to Zay!

How do you manage to keep count ? - signed #BADOL

You paused the game and didn't realize it ?J/k

Zay blows but that 6th pass was uncatchable

Didn't see that but an outside throw wild have been safe

Why didn't TT take the easy throw prior to the Tolbert run ? There was a guy right in front of him, a TE?

He needs to be benched

That was some poor play calling on O. And friggin Zay

Taylor should slide before taking hits

He isn't getting the easiest of throws to get in the swing of things

Good post, John. McD's motivtions, if those, are myopic in nature. Watkins, even if underperforming his draft status, still would have more value to the Bills than on the Rams. That he is not producing well with the LAR does not imply that he would have similar numbers on the Bills. The reasons are just too thin ot justify getting rid of him this year. ZayJones, as most draft picks, was not a sure thing. He may take time to develop or he may be a bust. But Watkins was a sure thing and should have been kept this year when other options were woeful and low. A coach and GM should not be getting rid of every player who is not an ideal fit in their system. That is why it is best to transition out into a different system. I would stretch this arugument and say that we should have attempted to keep Robert Woods also. Watkins-Woods-Jones would have been a very good combo. Jones would be brought along into the system and if he was a hit, the Bills could part ways with Watkins in the next off season. I am also of the opinion that Boldin came on board just to be a mentor to Watkins while catching the occasional pass. At his stage of his career, he had nothing left to prove but he could point to how he pulled up Watkins to glory and then could walk off into the sunset. McD should have managed Watkins as a coach should and taken Boldin's assistance in trying to challenge him to his true potential.

Come on guys, take the social and political debate to OTW or PPP.

"Who?"

But If memory serves me correctly, the Bills did pay him once but he kept pouting and even dogged it in some games. That he was a phenomenal talent was without any doubt but IMHO the FO probably wondered how long he will be happy for after a second raise. That is why he was not retained. Not many players make a switch to a different position very well (Kordell Stewart as an example) but Peters made a massive switch and quite successfully. I wish the Bills and his agent had figured out a way to keep him here. We spent years attempting to find a competent LT, let alone a very good one.

Mariota was stinking it up ? He started off with a couple of poorly thrown balls but after that he played very well. Consider that he was forced into being a pocket passer which is not his usual style and still he played well. And, SB is up for grabs ? You think teams like the Browns, Bills, 49ers, Rodger-less Pack,Bears,....... are capable of winning the SB ??

Which is really terrible considering the tough time we had finding a good one. LTs are tough to come by - I wish there FO didn't even entertain the conversation. I understand that he is expensive but he mans a tough position and it is not one I mind 'over paying' for
