There's only an entire thread devoted to Sammy's injury on the 1st page: http://forums.twobil...80#entry3325145 I don't see anything on fred Jackson -
These next 4 games are going to be more important than I first thought with Browns, Chiefs and fish all making a run. I would sit Fred until Thurs game.
Agreed
Breaking news?
I didn't know that Sammy sat out yesterday ???

After wide receiver Sammy Watkins left practice early with a groin injury on Wednesday, but word out of Buffalo was that he would be ready to go for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.
Bills coach Doug Marrone wasn’t willing to make any proclamations after Watkins sat out Thursday’s practice, however. <SNIP>

I just don't understand it!
Finally a guy that gets "it". He can read a defense, make " all the throws" as they put it.
Nobody wants to give him chance,
He looks like a winner to me.
Seems like a perfect fit in Buffalo, a blue chip kinda guy, not a surfer from Cali!
I am definitely sold, hell if nobody else wants him, fine, most don't want us either!
I agree, make no sense......

Buffalo’s Signal Caller Is Statistically One of the Best Journeymen in NFL History
When the Buffalo Bills replaced EJ Manuel at quarterback with Kyle Orton, they were gambling on a 10-year journeyman faring better than the quarterback they selected in the first round just last year. The gamble has paid off: Orton (pictured right and below) is 3-1 as a starter and has the 5-3 Bills in the playoff hunt.
But typically, itinerant quarterbacks move from team to team for a reason: They aren’t good.
Since 1950, 17 quarterbacks have started games for five different teams, according to Stats LLC. Orton has started for the Bears, Broncos, Chiefs, Cowboys and Bills. Only six of those 17 quarterbacks have records better than .500 as a starter, including Orton, who is 38-36.
When it comes to quarterbacks who aimlessly drift around the league, Jeff Garcia is the gold standard. The former 49er-Brown-Lion-Eagle-Buccaneer-Texan has a 87.5 career passer rating, which is by far the best among quarterbacks to start for five different teams, although he went only 58-58 in his career. Trent Dilfer went 58-55 for five teams and won a Super Bowl with the Ravens, but his 70.2 passer rating makes Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has his fifth starting gig with the Texans this season, look like a Pro Bowler.
Since the beginning of his career, no team has really trusted Orton. As a rookie, he went 10-5 and led the Bears to the playoffs despite throwing only nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions. In the playoffs, Chicago benched him in lieu of Rex Grossman and promptly lost to the Panthers.
Even as Orton improved, teams never saw him as a franchise quarterback. He threw 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions for the Broncos in 2010, but went 3-10 because Denver had the worst defense in the league. For his career, Orton has thrown 84 touchdowns and 60 interceptions.
This year, Orton’s 104.0 passer rating ranks fourth in the NFL. He also ranks in the top five in completion percentage. After signing with the Bills in August, he looks like one of this season’s savviest acquisitions.

We can always bring back Vince Young

OMG and I just bet $10,000 on the Bills
-
I want at least 6.5 mil

LOL
The last WR this good is probably Jerry Rice...
Minimum, Randy Moss
-
You would trade Sammy for Russell Wilson ? How much better is he then Kyle Orton ?
-
Just for the fun of it, what would you want in return in a Sammy Watkins trade ???
Now think this out carefully, you are giving up a 21 year old Sammy Watkins and this could one of the best WR's EVER ..

This guy can't catch a break. Hopefully this will pass
-
This may be the best WR since Jerry Rice. I hope we can afford him in 3 years

Buffalo fans are a very skeptical bunch....We have seen quarterbacks look pretty good then fade. Losman,Edwards,Fitzpatrick.
Kyle Orton does seem different though but he also has a more talented offense then the rest of those guys.
-
Lets face it the Bills let Levitre go with no real replacement.
Did the same with London Fletcher, & Lee Evans.
Buffalo has a long history for labeling players as overpaid but they can't find anyone better or cheaper
-
I agree with those that say he could be our starting QB for the next 2-3 years. I would like to see how it plays out over the rest of the season, but right now, he is head and shoulders better than anything we have had in quite some time. He had to shake off some rust those first couple of games, but overall he has been pretty good. If he continues to play well and help us win football games, then why not?
I will never understand why fans watch a quarterback play very well, then preach doom and gloom down the road.
Its not normal..
-
Look guys, every situation is different, every team is different. Orton is an experienced QB and in the past he had some young quarterback weaknesses.
I can tell you one thing for sure, you won't find a better QB in the NFL draft that is better then Orton and even if you did, it would take a new guy 3 years to match Orton's command of a pro style NFL Offense.

EJ is still winning

Why would we give a mop to our players ?
-
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Last time we gave a Qb an extension, his game went way south

Pay the man..

Optimistic isn't a trait one would typically ascribe to a player on a 1-6 team. But Jets wide receiver Eric Decker sounded that way when talking to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport Thursday night, believing New York is still in the hunt for the AFC East.
Sammy Watkins doesn’t practice, Fred Jackson “not ready yet”
