BarleyNY Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Bills fans love building our guys up just to tear them down. And controversy, gotta have our healthy dose of controversy. That said - Why is Sammy Questionable? I thought he would be the most probable out of McCoy, Karlos, and him. I don't think that's it, I think it's a function of the stances people take and how they take them. Usually things like this quickly turn into black and white arguments and people vehemently defend their positions and/or attack those of others. Even the more reasonable people get unfairly labeled or drug to one side or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 @ChrisTrapasso FWIW, EJ Manuel targeted Sammy Watkins 32x in the four games the two played together in 2014.... including 28 targets from Weeks 2-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the targeting thing. There is a fine line though where it benefits and hurts . Take last night, Julio Jones was targeted on the Falcons first play of the game, Ryan forced the ball to him and it was incomplete. Rodey White was wide open on a post that would of gone for an easy 6.I like Sammy and thinks he is awesome and also like his personality. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Problem is going public with this nonsense. Typical Rex team where he encourages people to complain and let everyone know how they feel. Not a good sign for team gong forward as too selfish.

QuoteTheRaven83 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I don't see any problem with this. Why did we even trade up for this guy? At the same time though, we can't target you when you're on the sideline. Toughen up kid and stop getting hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BmarvB Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Granted, you have a QB who's basically a rookie as a starter even though he's been in the league 4 years, but you gotta be on the field to get your catches. Keeping your mouth shut about it publicly would also help. Get better soon!! Edited October 16, 2015 by BmarvB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 What did he say that was untrue???? Nothing. What did he do wrong? Opening his stupid, selfish, always injured mouth. There's OneBuffalo. Plus Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It all really boils down to 2 games...the Colts and the Fins. http://www.nfl.com/player/sammywatkins/2543457/gamelogs If this guy is gonna complain about two games, he needs to grow up...quick. We can't control his other two games when he was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I am not reading all 29 pages bt will say it is pretty obvious from the last 2 weeks (with Watkins out) that he is important to the offense. It is ridiculous that he is used way too often as a decoy. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/receiving/sort/receivingYards/year/2015/seasontype/2 The fact is that it's sad how little they use him in comparison to other wr's. At least on PTI tonight outsiders agreed with Watkins' stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerbelly Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 i am guessing it is built up and spilling over from last year too - but noted that it's two different coaching staffs I'm thinking that Sammy, and McCoy are not going to play. Taylor will not play either. Rex is simply playing smoke, and mirrors with the Bengals, and he's having those players talk some sch!tt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 i am guessing it is built up and spilling over from last year too - but noted that it's two different coaching staffs Still, this really boils down to two games: 1) The Indy game where his feelings were hurt because he didn't get a pass, and 2) The Miami game where he caught a few passes but then was injured in the second half. I hope he succeeds like anyone else and really want him to get passes, but don't start bitching about not getting the ball in two games. The sample size is too small Sammy.

I think trying to say this is just because of 2 games is misguided. He has a way better idea of whats going on than you do, and he knows what the coaches plan for him, and why the QB isn't getting him the ball. He is in the film room watching with other players (who have responded to this by saying "get him the ball").

3rdand12 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I don't mind his attitude at all. not the most savvy way to fire the team up. But..screw the PC. Chuck that ball at Watkins early and often. what are they saving these playmakers for? He is already injured ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
