OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) .....um, a little late now Coach, isn't it?......clap...clap...clap....clap............. Bills coach admits Sammy Watkins’ dominant game was ‘hard to watch’ Rams Wire Cameron DaSilva 3 hrs ago Through two weeks with the Rams, Sammy Watkins struggled to make a noticeable impact. He had just seven catches for 88 yards and had yet to find the end zone. That changed on Thursday night against the 49ers. He caught six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns, doing everything from hauling in deep passes to fighting through defenders en route to the end zone. It was by far his best performance with the Rams, and probably his top game since the start of 2016. The Bills were undoubtedly watching him and Robert Woods dominate the 49ers, likely thinking they should have kept at least one of the two this offseason. For Bills head coach Sean McDermott, he admits it's hard to watch Watkins succeed like that. "Believe me, I get it," he said, via Mike Rodak of ESPN. "That's hard to watch from a fan's perspective, and at times from a coach's perspective." The Bills have overhauled their receiving corps this season, bringing in guys like Zay Jones and Jordan Matthews. McDermott is confident in both players, as well as the team's other receivers, but there's no doubt the Bills' offense would look different with Watkins in the mix. Still, McDermott is happy for Watkins and is glad to see him having success in L.A. "I'm happy for him; I'm really happy for him," McDermott said, referring to Watkins. "You develop relationships with guys, and I'm happy for him. That said, I'm focused on our team, but I'm happy for Sammy and the other guys [who] went on to have big nights [on Thursday]." With Watkins and Woods firing on all cylinders, the Rams look like a legitimately dangerous offense in the NFC West. Edited September 22, 2017 by OldTimeAFLGuy
JM2009 Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Yes. It is a little late. They had to know that they downgraded the WR group. I hope.

Mike in Horseheads Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Seriously, what did you expect him to say? "glad he got a concussion, it proves we knew he was injury prone?
LABILLBACKER Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 You better pray these stockpiled picks come through or they'll end up as just another idiotic coach/GM combo...
TheElectricCompany Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Do you think this wasn't something they anticipated? Clearly Sammy isn't some bum, the guy has some talent to work with! They moved him because he wasn't a part of their plan. Now, you can debate the merits of that, but I think it's obvious McD and Beane feel like he'll equal wins or be worth the investment of a big contract. That 2nd rounder will go to a different position that means more to their football team.

BuffaloBillyG Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 They played the Colts. And the 9ers. Not exactly they Steel Curtain there people. Pump the brakes.
100DollarBills Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) ...huh?...trust the process........... Yes trust the process, it will be all worth it after we use the ammo we have accumulated to draft our Franchise QB and a weapon for him. Edited September 22, 2017 by 100DollarBills
Capco Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Apart from Goff (who I still consider a question mark) their offense looks solid on paper. If he can bring it all together and they stay relatively healthy, I can see them putting up some numbers. The talent is there.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 They played the Colts. And the 9ers. Not exactly they Steel Curtain there people. Pump the brakes. Brady rebounded against the sorry Saints' D last week. That counts too just like every regular season game does.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 22, 2017 Author Posted September 22, 2017 Yes trust the process, it will be all worth it after we use the ammo we have accumulated to draft our Franchize QB and a weapon for him. ....POSITIONALLY, I cannot remember in the last 55 years of following this club where we were even close to the 2018 slate.....two 1sts, two 2nds and two 3rds?......of course the draft is NOT an exact science and NEVER will be....but Pegula opened the checkbook WIDE for Beane to bring in an army of former Player Personnel Directors and VP's on his staff...of course the "pundits" will say nobody else wanted to hire any of them (COUGH).....so this army had better get it right or as close as possible........stay tuned...........
LeGOATski Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 Lol...he doesn't care guys. He's focused on the Bills. This is his actual job. He's not some frustrated fan on a message board.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 You mean 3rd round pick The 3rd was acquired in the Darby trade. They received the Rams' 2018 2nd along with Gaines for Sammy and the Bills' 6th in '18.
JM2009 Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 ...huh?...trust the process........... lol. Yes trust the process, it will be all worth it after we use the ammo we have accumulated to draft our Franchise QB and a weapon for him. Heard you got banned form the Sabres board.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 .....um, a little late now Coach, isn't it?......clap...clap...clap....clap............. I take it, you're another that doesn't like his clapping? sammy who?
