bigK14094 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 180 yds for Sammy this week. If that were to happen, the Bills would likely win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yep, I know of 31 GMs who would take Sammy off the Bills' hands right now. I think I know what you're saying and I like it. A lot: Git R done, buddy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) can't imagine his foot is right we shall see, but this looks a lot like shady's hammy last year... never really heals .. some orthotic guy needs to find some way to build a shoe to allow him to run and cut... he'll need next offseason to really heal... his best weapons, speed and precision cutting, are probably largely gone right now... give me a healthy Powell... he's not Sammy, but he is 100% healthy Sammy will be trooper but the team will suffer as he blows 3 or 4 series determining he can't go. this game is too important for stupid heroics like that... remember he's playing for a contract pretty soon Edited September 28, 2016 by 8and8-->NoMore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm hoping Lynn can figure out a way for Watkins to make an impact. I'm worried about the Tyrod and Watkins combo. I'm not sure if it's one or the other that's the issue and that's been my experience as a Bills fan throughout many years now. Is it our QB or the WR's not getting open? - Is it the OC or the players? - Is it the O Line or the QB, etc etc etc. I'm desperately hoping we're not in another one of these situations where we're wondering if Sammy is really that good or can we just not get him the ball. So again, I hope Lynn can be the linchpin to solving this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins was pulling in throws in double coverage like nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 This injury is going to be an issue all season, he is going to end up looking bad because of it Probably would have been best to try and get a short term replacement for him this year and sit him out until he is closer to 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Also experts in injuries, pain tolerance, and what it takes to play in the NFL. I guess the board is populated with former NFL players who are now medical doctors. Who knew there were so many?just like all the other experts on the other side of the argument that apparently know exactly how painful boo boo kitty foot is? What if you could experience the pain and it ended up being something you wouldn't normally be bothered by? Ya know what, don't bother to answer.

K-9 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I'm saying I don't want to be questioning why he isn't performing. I can appreciate that, but I don't worry about it because if he's not performing he's either physically unable to or our QB can't get him the ball. I just wanted to clarify that his ability is beyond question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ya know what" why don't you fracture your own foot ( if you can't quite do it I'll bet you could find a friend to do it for you). Then have surgery and a screw put in the foot. Then go run some routes and cut, stop quickly etc. Then report back and let us know. I'm sure you have the toughness- the strength , will, and athletic ability to overcome it. We'll be waiting to hear from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I draft Sammy every year in fantasy and I get disappointed every year. Such a great talent but it's always something. Such a Bills type career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We have two fan titles locked down: 1. Best fans in the NFL 2. Dumbest fans in the NFL. Agreed a thousand times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on about my injuries that I have suffered in all ages from when I ran track to going to work every day. But at the end of the day uiu would just make a stupid comment about how I have no idea what others pain is, that I should get assaulted at my work, blah, blah, blah. Don't you have a Sammy doll to play with somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have a Sammy doll to play with somewhere? I'm pretty sure whatever your work is ( I have no idea) , you do not or did not play pro football. The stupid comments are coming from you, I believe. Using juvenile anatomical references to describe a pro athlete who is obviously injured playing a tough , physical game. These guys want to be out there because that's how they'll get their big payday, besides whatever else they use to motivate themselves to compete in a game that few are talented enough to play at that level. I've never made a " stupid comment " about whatever it is you do, nor am I interested in it. Funny how you would consider such a comment ( if it were made about you) "stupid" when that is exactly what your statements about Watkins are. Fifth grade level at best.

For the same reasons you state that I'm being stupid, you have absolutely no idea how much pain He is in no more than I do. If his pain really is so tremendous that he cannot play (even though doctors have said it cannot be reinjured), or if it's a simple as a paper cut. We will never know. Oh, except for the guy I know that has spoken with a member of the Bills training staff that has admitted that Sammy is a baby and that others play with similar or worse ailments. Believe whatever you want. I don't care, but stop annouing me for my opinions as they are no worse than yours. Oh, and I have torn 3 ligaments, 3 tendons, and sprained my ankle while separating my Tibia and Fibula off my Talus perminantely. I did this in my Sr year of high school when I ran track. The doctor told me I would be on crutches for 6 weeks and wouldn't be able to run in 6 months. I was walking on it that night, and running full speed on it in 2 weeks. I managed to make the finals in section 6 in the 110 High Hurdles, Pole Vault, and Triple Jump and 4x100 relay.

Webster Guy Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 We need to get Sammy that stuff they injected into Wolverine that made his bones like steel. I'm gonna dust off the ol' lab equipment in the basement and get to work. As soon as my formula is complete I'll invite he and Goodwin over and put em in the tank....

abc Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) just like all the other experts on the other side of the argument that apparently know exactly how painful boo boo kitty foot is? What if you could experience the pain and it ended up being something you wouldn't normally be bothered by? Ya know what, don't bother to answer. I will answer since you took the time to make such an insightful and logically sound response. I don't know the answer to Watkins true condition and neither do you. So I have to go off observations and the data at hand. The guy has had approximately 8,327 injuries since entering the league and this past Sunday missed his 4th game in 2.3 seasons. This would tend to indicate he is relatively tough and endures pain enough to play while injured. (Note, the games missed number is correct but I am just guessing on the number of injuries). In terms of observation, he clearly has played at less than 100% or outright injured in the past. The first two weeks he looked my my grandmother running on that sore foot but at least he gave it a go. There are numerous examples the past two years as well. So if you have an alternate set of data or observations relating to the NFL as opposed to your High School track team, please do share them. Although I do enjoy a good high school track yarn now and then... Edited September 29, 2016 by Sakman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Playing thru pain is one thing. Running all over the damn field all day long and not getting the ball must really suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
