BuffaloBillsForever Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) @mikerodak Sammy Watkins posted a photo on Facebook this morning from Harrah’s Cherokee Casino in North Carolina: https://www.facebook.com/sammywatkinsofficial/photos/a.280219262144787.1073741828.274357719397608/619009818265728/?type=3&theater Must have had a good hand to go "All-IN". It looks to me that photo is at the cashier. Edited April 19, 2016 by BuffaloBillsForever
RyanC883 Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 So running a youth camp the day before, and spending 1 evening with your friends who you rarely get to see, is that troubling? He's only miss 1 (now 2) conditioning workouts. What if he shows up tomorrow? Or next week? Every year there are threads like this about a player. Every year fans get angry. Every year it's forgotten by the time camp starts. I think the issue is the optics of it. Hosting a youth camp, fine. Posting pictures of yourself partying at a casino while your teammates are in Buffalo for voluntary camp that you--arguably the most talented player on offense--skipped, bad.
Mr. WEO Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 It looks to me that photo is at the cashier. He shouldn't have colored up his chips. That's one lame stack...
nucci Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 I think, at this point in his career, it's silly to compare Sammy Watkins to any Hall of Famers. The only thing Sammy Watkins has proven is that he CAN be great. Potential and $1 will get you any size coffee at McDonald's. wasn't comparing talent....your opinion is that Watkins is an absolute dick. This franchise has had many others.....
Gugny Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 wasn't comparing talent....your opinion is that Watkins is an absolute dick. This franchise has had many others..... Yes, and the ones who actually helped the team to win games get a free pass.
John from Riverside Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 After he proved he was one of the best at what he did, as part of winning teams, yes. talk to me when the camps are manditory

26CornerBlitz Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 remember when many wanted to cut lawson before he even played a down for us for missing these? good times. Offseason outrage will get you ready for actual game play in September.

The Big Cat Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Ya got me. Yet still, his absences against NYG, TEN & JAX did not go unnoticed. Lest we forget that angle.
Doc Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Yet still, his absences against NYG, TEN & JAX did not go unnoticed. Lest we forget that angle. The Bills only won one of those games, and barely at that. Had he played, they win at least 1 more, if not both.
K D Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Bad look for Sammy. It's voluntary but it's about being with the guys and building chemistry.

In the game they won, they had 57 yards of total offense with 7 min to go in the third quarter. Edited April 19, 2016 by The Big Cat

Building chemistry....an overused cliche this time of year. Plus there are mandatory OTAs, training camp and preseason games....I think there's time for chemistry if needed
Jauronimo Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Building chemistry....an overused cliche this time of year. Plus there are mandatory OTAs, training camp and preseason games....I think there's time for chemistry if needed That's exactly what Barret Robbins said when he went AWOL. Look how that turned out.

Plus there are mandatory OTAs, training camp and preseason games....I think there's time for chemistry if needed Everyone showed up but him. Hes supposed to be growing as a leader in the locker room. Bad look

Plus there are mandatory OTAs, training camp and preseason games....I think there's time for chemistry if neededI agree chemistry isn't a concern. It's frankly that you want the studs on the team to be leaders of the other guys too. I think there are plenty of signs to date showing Sammy is just a really good player. He's just not the guy that's out there with his team every chance he gets pushing them to be better too. For those that mention Bruce, I believe his lack of leadership is why he's always given second tier billing when talking all time DE goats. Reggie White who always gets mentioned ahead of Bruce much like Ray Lewis, Ronnie Lott are Goat listed because of talent AND the fact they raised the level of play from the guys around them too. So be it. The team still needs to find 'that' guy. Maybe he's on the roster. Maybe he's not. Edited April 19, 2016 by over 20 years of fanhood
