3rdand12 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 The problem is we haven't had the QBs to get him the ball. ouch
LeGOATski Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 absolutely. He wants the opportunity to show what he can do. Fwiw I thought he was pretty damn good last year. best highlight reel of any Bill.
Augie Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 With "Ground and Pound", how many passes do we expect per game. Obviously, this varies widely, but 10 targets on 20-25 throws is a lot considering the other options. Are we to throw 30-35 times? Then the expectation is more in line, but will we be that team?
billsfan_34 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 seriously - his team is knocking the crap out of a division rival and he's not allowed to crack a smile with his teammates? He can do whatever he wants. But the game was far from wrapped and when ya get hurt in the NFL how can you find anything funny. He seems to not mind missing the playing field. I doubt TT would of been joking around. Its the difference between a true pro. Sammy has alot of growing up to do.
TallskiWallski83 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Im glad Sammy has finally spoken up and said something. Hes right about every single thing hes said. We have not utilized him consistantly enough.

Well, in Roman's offense in SF, Boldin averaged 8 targets a game while Kaep averaged 28 attempts per game. So, at least 8, I guess. Watkins says 10 because he's a selfish diva.
DREADLOCK BILL Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Why don't we stay healthy and then talk about getting the ball
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Tell that to the Browns. Or Texans. Or Jets. Those QBs aren't afraid to sling or even force it. EJ was totally neutered last year. TT strikes me as risk averse and probably not as willing to make some throws. Edited October 16, 2015 by JR in Pittsburgh
The Frankish Reich Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 So is it the bad quarterbacking? The bad game planning? Or is it Sammy? Let's look at what Sammy can control: yards after a catch (YAC). Last year: 5.4 YAC per reception. Meh. OBJ was 5.7. Demaryius Thomas 6.1. Golden Tate 7.3. DeSean Jackson 8.6 if you need a "played with bad QBs" comps. OK, so you say that's not fair. Apples to oranges, etc. EJ and Orton couldn't hit Sammy in stride like Eli hits OBJ in stride, or RG3 hit DeSean in stride (huh?). So let's look at YAC for Bills WRs only. That's fair, right? I mean, all our WRs had the same crappy EJ and Orton throws coming at them and the same Nate Hackett plays called. YAC per catch, 2014: Sammy 5.4 Hogan 4.8 Chandler 4.2 Woods 3.3 So Sammy was just a tick more slippery than ... Chris Hogan. Well there's a ringing endorsement of his "just get me the damn ball" theory ....
NoSaint Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Huh? Does anyone care if guys that we complain about saying stupid things say things about this?
The Poojer Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 i wonder how much of that is directed at the previous couple years....time to back it up now on the field
billsfan_34 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 You know he's played through injuries, right? Last year he did some now hes getting soft some Bills fans clearly don't follow the Bills. It's odd.
FireChan Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Does anyone care if guys that we complain about saying stupid things say things about this? I just thought it interesting that a reporter is retweeting shots at Sammy after Sammy took shots at another reporter. Those QBs aren't afraid to sling or even force it. EJ was totally neutered last year. TT strikes me as risk averse and probably not as willing to make some throws. Okay.
Augie Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Well, in Roman's offense in SF, Boldin averaged 8 targets a game while Kaep averaged 28 attempts per game. So, at least 8, I guess. Watkins says 10 because he's a selfish diva. I'm not hating on Sammy, but Boldin was probably on the field. Hoping he tears it up when he comes back healthy.
LeGOATski Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I'm not hating on Sammy, but Boldin was probably on the field. Hoping he tears it up when he comes back healthy. Yes. We're talking about when they're on the field.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Someone wake me when he's on the field
Nuncha Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 you do know almost every WR plays with something and isn't 100%, right? Not just him? Julio Jones, Dez, Calvin, Alshon, AJ Green, etc live on the injury report. He left 1 game early - Miami. I feel this is a weird thing to criticize him for. Someone else just criticized him for NOT playing hurt. Smh. Really? I never thought anyone but Sammy could be less than 100%. Funny because he can't make an impact for his team unless he IS 100%.
BUFFALOKIE Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 why is that? Well, I don't comment on actual football stuff often (because I am ignorant compared to so many of you here), but the four QBs you named are terrible and don't have the number of receiver options that T-rod has. I want Sammy to get the ball, and his time is coming, but I don't want Taylor focusing on any given receiver. Spreading the ball around is a better approach IMO, and it has worked fairly well thusfar. I'll now bow out of football analysis, after I say this: love you bro, but shut up and play Sammy.
LeGOATski Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Really? I never thought anyone but Sammy could be less than 100%. Funny because he can't make an impact for his team unless he IS 100%. This is priceless.
