NOVABillsFan Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Those two create a scary combination. One of Pittsburgh's legitimate threats each play. lets hope TT and SW get to spend a couple more years together and get that " chemistry " dialed in. Keep Tyrod please. Bills might really have a daring duo in Tyrod and Watkins. Keep Tyrod but look for a legit starting QB in 2016, one who knows what a real passing game looks like.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia Sammy Watkins is turning into that dude. Last 7 games: 33 catches, 680 yards, 7 touchdowns, 20.6 yards per catch. Stud. #Bills
26CornerBlitz Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Watch: Taylor to Watkins Continued Success (3:00)Bills QB Tyrod Taylor and WR Sammy Watkins have made a habit of big plays throughout this season, including another long hookup Sunday in Washington. A positive sign for an offense looking to progress.
3rdand12 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Keep Tyrod but look for a legit starting QB in 2016, one who knows what a real passing game looks like. I was thinking solid prospect. But i have no problem with improving the roster!! Watch: Taylor to Watkins Continued Success (3:00) I think these guys got a late start in Romans program, and are still working on getting to know each other. Have come a long way since Colts game. But i would like to add some new receivers to the roster. Like everyone not named Watkins lol
ganesh Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Watch: Taylor to Watkins Continued Success (3:00) Watkins was injured in pre-season. It has taken a while to build the chemistry. Watkins did not make plays (or did not get an opportunity) early in the season and we were winning then. Now Watkins in his true form, sadly the bills can't convert that success to team wins. Keep Tyrod but look for a legit starting QB in 2016, one who knows what a real passing game looks like. Not having Clay has hurt Tyrod the past two weeks. This team does not have a legitimate 2nd WR. Woods is becoming a 3rd WR. Hogan has been off-form for the past month, dropping several key plays.

Hard to argue that about the "leading" receiver in Clay. If I heard that correctly the other day. The entire operation has been bad from play calls, to execution, to on field clock management to not looking like they want to win.
Billsfan1972 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 30th in yards, 75th in catches, 61st In targets (huge jump the last two weeks with bad throws by TT and 175th in YAC... Still disappointing and a long long way to go.
K-9 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Sammy once again at the top of the speed ratings. Seriously, I can't believe they keep track of crap like this. But, if he can stay healthy and away from the nagging type of injuries, the sky's the limit for this kid. http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000607054 GO BILLS!!!
NoSaint Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia Sammy Watkins is turning into that dude. Last 7 games: 33 catches, 680 yards, 7 touchdowns, 20.6 yards per catch. Stud. #Bills So we'd be talking like 70 or so catches, 1500+ yards and 15 tds if the pace kept up. On an offense 29th in attempts and 30th in completions Sammy once again at the top of the speed ratings. Seriously, I can't believe they keep track of crap like this. But, if he can stay healthy and away from the nagging type of injuries, the sky's the limit for this kid. http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000607054 GO BILLS!!! It's probably more telling than some of the stuff they track. Guys super talented - no denying it.
CardinalScotts Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Please keep feeding #14. He's pretty good. agree stop throwing it to 15 in fact get him off the field

But he's only 22 and if Taylor somehow has the light go on, he's gonna do a ton of damage in this league. GO BILLS!!!

They don't target him enough nor put him in formations to get the ball on the run. Always lined up outside and 0 yards after the catch.
YoloinOhio Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 It's almost criminal, isn't it? But he's only 22 and if Taylor somehow has the light go on, he's gonna do a ton of damage in this league. GO BILLS!!! one of the positives this week is that Rex said they have their QB for next year. So that's two more games, all offseason (for player-led informal workouts), OTAs , TC and PS for TT and Sammy to work together, vs him getting 1/3 of the reps leading up to this season and Sammy recovering/being hurt most of the time too.
3rdand12 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Keep Tyrod but look for a legit starting QB in 2016, one who knows what a real passing game looks like. so you dont think some of that development is on Roman? I do. and i think you are harshing on Tyrod. always keep a focus on QBs coming up. Even when you have one. Hard to argue that about the "leading" receiver in Clay. If I heard that correctly the other day. The entire operation has been bad from play calls, to execution, to on field clock management to not looking like they want to win. and is thats TT? agree stop throwing it to 15 in fact get him off the field and put in whom? we have slim pickens playing REC after SW Is it tyrod or Roman? They don't target him enough nor put him in formations to get the ball on the run. Always lined up outside and 0 yards after the catch. well i am not sure about that anymore. true enough early in the season, if and when they called his number one of the positives this week is that Rex said they have their QB for next year. So that's two more games, all offseason (for player-led informal workouts), OTAs , TC and PS for TT and Sammy to work together, vs him getting 1/3 of the reps leading up to this season and Sammy recovering/being hurt most of the time too. So Rex has admitted to recognising two pieces of the big puzzle? Lol These two will make great music together , honestly.
K-9 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Is it tyrod or Roman? They don't target him enough nor put him in formations to get the ball on the run. Always lined up outside and 0 yards after the catch. Perhaps a combination of both, but I think it's Tyrod more than Roman as routes are designed to get people open and Sammy is open nearly all the time but Taylor is reluctant. That's not to say Roman couldn't design more plays for Sammy over the middle, more slants and drags, etc., for better YAC opportunities. But again, I think that's Roman recognizing a limitation in TT and seeking to minimize risk. GO BILLS!!!
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Sammy is really good. We should try to throw it to him more. I'm no coach though.

NOVABillsFan Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) so you dont think some of that development is on Roman? I do. and i think you are harshing on Tyrod. always keep a focus on QBs coming up. Even when you have one. Today, I am not a big fan of Roman. Some of the play calling is been bad. Excuse me if my opinion on Taylor is not as high as yours is. I like TT, but he's not shown me that he is the guy. I've stated what I see as his biggest weaknesses over the 12 games - not scanning the entire field, not throwing a pass away when there is no lane to run and taking a sack, throwing the ball when there was a clear lane for him to get a 1st down, not throwing a pass quickly to where the routes will go, meaning he doesn't anticipate like the great ones do. He takes no risks and w/o some risks there can be no reward, and lastly he has not shown me that he is a good 2 minute drill QB. I'm not a professional so if I am wrong my bad, but what if I am not wrong - it is only criticism not ridicule. Edited December 23, 2015 by NOVABillsFan
Billsfan1972 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Again the problem is hat we can't be sure about Tyrod yet and how he was coached, his reads and what he is being told. The first 6 games he barely looked @ Watkins. The formations and play calling the second half seems to be the same almost every game. The long ball where Watkins outruns the defense. How many easy catches has he had? You know the crossing pattern in front of TT running clear, the simple 12 yard curl, a slant, an out...... Watch Odell, Julio, Antonio and the # of catches they get in space. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/receiving/sort/receivingYards/year/2015/seasontype/2 As always look at YAC and the big 3 all have approximately 30%+ of their yardage after the catch and Watkins only 13% (actually surprised it is that much as I can't remember any over 5 yards). Surprised that Hopkins hasn't many YAC either.
Billsfan1972 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Today, I am not a big fan of Roman. Some of the play calling is been bad. Excuse me if my opinion on Taylor is not as high as yours is.

I'm not a professional so if I am wrong my bad, but what if I am not wrong - it is only criticism not ridicule. Again I blame Roman 60%..... This is why Whaley is upset. When you watch a pass play and TT doesn't notice at the line that Watkins is in a favorable matchup and all you ever call is Watkins up the sideline it is ridiculous. As said very few slants, over the middle or crossing patterns. KC is the perfect example. Torches them the first half (and again 0 YAC and all passes were at or near the sideline) and the then the second half they didn't change a thing and didn't even look his way..... As for the 2-minute and hurry-up ask Roman why it stinks and how they are clueless..... If it is TT, then yes it's a problem. The NE game they moved the ball 33 yards in 2 minutes!!!!! Vs. Philly they started with a handoff, stood around the line wasting 20 seconds, took a penalty and then looked anywhere but to Watkins......
