Kmart128 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 He is not pissed at all... he has played with Matthews before and wont bad mouth a friend and say we got worse. He will talk about how Jordan Matthews is super productive... even more productive than Watkins. Watkins is clearly better but ill take the player who produces consistantly and can stay on the field
Bob in STL Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Darby was not looking good in this system. Just like he did not look very good last year either. I wish we could have got more for Watkins but his injury past is a red flag.
Billsfansinceday1 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I read some quotes from Matthews' teammates and they are very sad to see him go. Very good player and great in locker room.
bobobonators Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Hes probably happy. We are a run first, second, and third team. More focus on him. Better numbers for him. How many times has shady been on the field with a healthy Sammy? 8?
Samwell Tarly Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Depends if Bills can muster any kind of passing attack to open the field up. If not he might see 10 men in the box...
Pete Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Boldin, Mathews, and Streater are all excellent blockers and move the chain players. This is setting up for an even better rushing team this season. I think Shady likes the deal

I think Shady likes the deal Thanks for bringing this up....maybe he's secretly moving up the depth chart and the coaching staff sees him on the field a lot.
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Kyle Williams should be more pissed. I remember the days when we used to get McCoy for Kiki off a major injury and Jerry Hughes for Sheppard. Now we are getting EJ Gaines for Sammy! A new regime! Boldin, Mathews, and Streater are all excellent blockers and move the chain players. This is setting up for an even better rushing team this season. I think Shady likes the deal If the entire defense is crowding the line because you have no deep threat, it's going to be hard to run the ball.

Then again the air raid offense is all the rage. We didn't have a healthy Sammy last year. To me Mathews, Boldin, Zay, Streater, Clay, O'Leary looks better to me then last years wideouts
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Kyle Williams should be more pissed.

If the entire defense is crowding the line because you have no deep threat, it's going to be hard to run the ball. Are matthews and zay slow or something?
Billsmovinup Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Yep, poor Kyle Williams such a loyal Soldier. Would not surprise me if he hands in his retirement papers this week. Talk about a dog who keeps getting kicked only to come back for more. If the entire defense is crowding the line because you have no deep threat, it's going to be hard to run the ball. Exactly right.
frostbitmic Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Kyle Williams must be just as pissed, he decided not to retire and now the team trades WR#1 and CB#1 ... Year 18 without a playoff berth is upon us.

frostbitmic Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 But we are going to battle with guys who "do it the right way." My enthusiasm has been curbed.
Mad Mike Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) We're acting as if Sammy Watkins has been a factor in the Bills' offense... He was great in college, and has great talent, but he's constantly injured, and when he is "healthy" it's never 100% healthy so he is in essence an average receiver when he's out there. They got another solid WR and CB, plus a couple extra picks next year. I say this was a good day for the team. Edited August 11, 2017 by Mad Mike
MAJBobby Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) If I'm him, I say trade me or watch me go into a funk. I did my best to talk Mac and others to come here because I believed McDermott/Beane were planning to both walk and chew gum by building for the future, but start by building a winning ethic. These trades have clearly set the tone for what we are shooting for in 2017 (which is 2018). For Bills fans the Sabres are looking good right now. Why because they brought in a productive and healthy WR? And a respectable zone CB Not to mention the picks with it. Beane got good value for both Watkins and Darby, likey both not in long term plans either Edited August 11, 2017 by MAJBobby
Bronxbomber21 Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I have a feeling Matthews has a big season in Buffalo and people change there mind about the deal
Helpmenow Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Pissed off like the rest of the older fan base. It's never gonna happen in my lifetime
