dave mcbride Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Interesting comments near the end in a characteristically excellent analytical piece by Andy Benoit: https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/09/18/jared-goff-los-angeles-rams-sean-mcvay
26CornerBlitz Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 In fairness to the previous Rams staff, they lacked the resources that surround Goff now. There was no stable veteran like 12th-year left tackle Andrew Whitworth or ninth-year center John Sullivan. Todd Gurley was not the smooth, swift runner that we saw in 2015 and have seen these first two weeks. There was no possession target like Kupp, and no dynamic receiver like Watkins (who, by the way, has flashed the change-of-direction quickness that made him the fourth overall pick in Buffalo in 2014; it won’t be long before he’s showcased like a true No. 1). Fully integrating Watkins in this capacity is a matter of time.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Sammy is a great receiver when he's on the field. Not sure why some bills fans are guy this. It's obvious. Because we like to find fault, then pick at it like a scab until it bleeds.

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I think TBD needs a therapy session to help move on from Sammy. I need to stop being hypocritical, and make this my last Sammy post response. There is no way that we can assess the trade at this point. No need to pine over him daily. We need to see what we do with the picks that we gained from him. No need to pine over the ex before knowing if the replacement may be better.

But when you lose a game because you score 3 points and have to go to a rookie wr for a crucial catch, then it's ok to wonder if Sammy makes a difference. We have a high school passing attack.

I agree that it's fair to wonder. I can't argue against that. We don't have a true number one, and that's an issue. It's just tough to know what would have happened. I always think back to the Ravens opener last season with Sammy on the field.

And we scored a td that game!
boyst Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 watkins was never resigning here. at least we got something for him. he's the girl that was dumping us after homecoming so we danced with the other girl who we could take home.

Still would have benn nice to at least get laid at Homecoming instead of sitting home jerking around though Edited September 18, 2017 by Alphadawg7
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Still would have benn nice to at least get laid at Homecoming instead of sitting home jerking around though Our QB play is flaccid so it doesn't matter who we take home.

boyst Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Still would have benn nice to at least get laid at Homecoming instead of sitting home jerking around though that's why you take the one you can take home. we got something for nothing. i'm glad ej gaines is putting out, in other words You don't know this. lets just say, i do.

You may know that the Bills would not offer him a market rate contract or something to that effect. You said "never". Suffice it to say that the FO could have picked up his fifth year option. You cannot know what may have happened over those two years. If the FO played their hand correctly there is zero way to know if SW may have re signed in Buffalo IF he played well over two seasons and IF he were offered a market rate contract .
likei've Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 To have a full picture of who won the trade, I agree. But when you lose a game because you score 3 points and have to go to a rookie wr for a crucial catch, then it's ok to wonder if Sammy makes a difference. We have a high school passing attack. We didn't "have" to go to rookie for a crucial catch. He was wide open. To say you know Sammy would have been that open or that he'd catch that ball is myopic at best. When you have Taylor as your qb it doesn't matter who's out there. Run, run, throw. You're severely handicapping any receivers when the D knows you have to throw on third down. Either Taylor is that bad and they don't trust him or we have a terrible offensive scheme. Either one sucks and I'm so bummed this is what we have to look forward to all year. I thought we were done with this style of play, I thought we were "unleashing" Taylor. All smoke and mirrors. Can't even get excited about the Broncos game now.

Whatever, I'm not impressed. You make it sound as if it was Sammy and not the FO. Unless you or whomever heard it from SW or his agent personally , its meaningless drivel.
