Mr. WEO Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 he played 16 games last year with cracked ribs Who claimed he played all 16 weeks with broken ribs? The injury was preseason. Recovery took some time, and he played through it. You prefer ignoring that, despite the pain involved. That's fine. You can have an opinion. Do you have a specific point? I was doubting this was the case. I made that point in the post right above yours.
Augie Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Grasping, it seems. He was hurt much of the year, to varying degrees.
What a Tuel Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 He also had hip surgery this off season as a result of an injury he took from the Browns Week 13. The guy was injured most of the season no doubt. And it wasn't because he was "injury prone" either. Still played all 16 weeks. I think Sammy knows the "difference between injury and pain".
YoloinOhio Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Anyone still trying to say Watkins doesn't play hurt -- it is just a terrible take. Time to find a new crusade. If it's that he's "injury prone" clap it up for all the NFL WRs who never have any injuries. They are the ones who never play. Edited October 18, 2015 by YoloinOhio
Kelly the Dog Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 According to Sammy, after his rib re-injury, he said it was initially a "contusion". He said the re-injury was "deeper". Never mentioned fracture. Neither did the team. He would have missed games with a fracture. Evenso, it wouldn't be a 16 week injury. It was a fracture. A friend of mine heard it from the Bills Doctor himself. Believe it or not. I posted it here when it happened too.
Deranged Rhino Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 It was a fracture. A friend of mine heard it from the Bills Doctor himself. Believe it or not. I posted it here when it happened too. Not to mention Sammy himself said they were broken in camp this year.
BringBackFergy Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I hope Sammy gets 14 targets today, 13 receptions, 150 yds and 2 TD's so we can put this baby to bed. Of course, the flip side, if he drops any passes or fumbles, we could have WWIII. Go Sammy. We want wins baby!!
PO16FFS Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 If he changes his name to Sam and plays like a man, he's got a good shot at 100 yards and 1 td.
NoSaint Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) If he changes his name to Sam and plays like a man, he's got a good shot at 100 yards and 1 td. What if he goes by Samuel and catches passes from ej manuel? Edited October 18, 2015 by NoSaint
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) What if he goes by Samuel and catches lasses from ej manuel?Whoa! To early for that wit. I am still trying to shake off the brain numbing boardom of the 9-6 UGA Mizzou game Edited October 18, 2015 by atlbillsfan1975
YoloinOhio Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Whoa! To early for that wit. I am still trying to shake off the brain numbing boardom of the 9-6 UGA Mizzou game so I guess I don't need to ask if they missed Chubb
26CornerBlitz Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 @Jason_OTC The financial reasons why Sammy Watkins is creating a scene about his current use. #Bills http://overthecap.com/sammy-watkins-unhappy-with-bills-offense/
3rdand12 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Really basic idea: listen to the defensive players. If the most elite front seven guy (Mario Williams) and the best secondary guy (Gilmore) both say that he's one of the best guys they've faced in recent years, listen to them. Get him the damn ball. To be fair, Manuel wasn't able to hit the broad side of a barn in deeper throws in those games. He was way off target on most of those throws. not true. he hit the broad side of a barn with ease.
NOVABillsFan Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 lets walk the walk Sammy. Take it to the house and help the Bills win this game!

First impression is: it's all about the money.
BringBackFergy Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Oh but wait, he caught a TD...how convenient. Now we lose and he can say "See? I'm valuable". Scripted.
Alphadawg7 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Here we go...man this board just LOVES to hate on its own players and lives for these moments. You guys do realize he played hurt right? And when you play hurt on these kinds of injuries without letting them heal 100% you have a real chance to reaggrivate it or make it worse. He played because we were really short handed on offense this week against a good team. Sometimes I really hate this board.

He played because we were really short handed on offense this week against a good team. Sometimes I really hate this board. Yes, I realize he played hurt. I realize he's been playing hurt (or just plain hurt) for a year and a half now. Which to me makes it stupid for him to be complaining about not getting the ball enough.
