cba fan Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I am on record I hate both trades. This season is over.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 There are posters on this site whose opinions I respect more than others, and many of them voted no. I'm not "fluffing" them (I'm sorry, but another childish observation), I was responding to someone who referred to them as "IDIOTS." I did so, not to defend the posters whom I respect, but to point out the idiocy, posted without a shred of irony, of making such a claim. I would also like to see a return to civility on this site, but that's really an afterthought. When was this site ever civil? In fact, it's probably more civil now than when I started here. Obviously you missed out on BF in Indiana, ICE, njsue, Hogboy and so on.
Rocky Landing Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I am on record I hate both trades. This season is over. It's not, and that's what makes me sad. It has not yet started...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Football doesn't work that way. When he's out, he contributes NOTHING. You don't get to look at a game he had two years ago and apply it to this year. That's just downright shortsighted. Not surprised though. Jordan Matthews is a pretty good possession receiver who's not even close to Sammy Watkins in terms of talent. Football players sometimes have serious injuries that they recover from. See Dez Bryant and Julio Jones as exhibit A examples. Watkins is now healthy and ready to live up to his potential with LA as the beneficiaries of his talent.

Alphadawg7 Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I miss Sammy already..... Ditto, but at least he is coming here to LA where I also support the Rams given I was a Rams fan as a kid in the 80's.
HappyDays Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 McBeane's future rides on the 2018 draft. That's terrifying but also exciting. At least there's a plan in place.

Obviously you missed out on BF in Indiana, ICE, njsue, Hogboy and so on. I have been browsing these boards, pretty much daily, since 2012. There have always been trolls, and malcontents. But, the tenor has declined significantly this year. Perhaps you have trouble recognizing civility?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I have been browsing these boards, pretty much daily, since 2012. There have always been trolls, and malcontents. But, the tenor has declined significantly this year. Perhaps you have trouble recognizing civility? Man I've been here since 1996-7 I think. Back then there wasn't moderation. We self-moderated,and it was less civil than it is now. Ask any of the old timers. But despite that...it was better. Edited August 12, 2017 by joesixpack
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Worst trade in Bills history. Hands down. Daryl Lamonica says hi
Alphadawg7 Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I will go on record: Sammy Watkins will make the Pro Bowl BEFORE the Bills make the playoffs.
Rochesterfan Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 How likely did you think a 2017 playoff birth was yesterday? How likely tonight? Yesterday - legitimately 0% Tonight - still 0% They were not beating the Pats either way. So they were fighting for a wildcard from the get go with essentially and 0-2 record. They would of needed to go 10-4 and with or without Watkins that was not going to happen. At worse they went from an 8-8 team to a 7-9 team. Really think they have a vision and Sammy was not part of that vision.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 I will go on record: Sammy Watkins will make the Pro Bowl BEFORE the Bills make the playoffs. @NFL How 'bout that new @RamsNFL Big 3 McVay will definitely know how to take full advantage of Watkins by matchup and scheme.
Figster Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Ditto, but at least he is coming here to LA where I also support the Rams given I was a Rams fan as a kid in the 80's. thats cool
Augie Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 He and McDermott better nail it. But of course it takes a few years to know for sure....
Rocky Landing Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Man I've been here since 1996-7 I think. Back then there wasn't moderation. We self-moderated,and it was less civil than it is now. Ask any of the old timers. But despite that...it was better. I think I know what you mean. There have been guys who were downright douchebags, but were at least douchebags with passion, and a modicum of football knowledge. I won't mention names, but I'm sure you could come up with a few. I just don't care for the stupidly rude insults. I'm never impressed with someone who confuses blithe, internet-cliched insult with debate.
Augie Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 Worst trade in Bills history. Hands down. Well, technically two trades. Are they #1A and #1B? Do you grasp that..... never mind.....
Rochesterfan Posted August 12, 2017 Posted August 12, 2017 No he has not at all on a per game basis: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MattJo00.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WatkSa00.htm Nope, but on a season average - so unless you believe Sammy is gong to stay healthy - which he has not done yet - Matthews has been the more productive pro to date.
