Wouldn't it be nice if Sammy became this generations Paul Warfield.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WarfPa00.htm That is the best receiver on 3 championship teams. And, who's stats clearly suffered by the context he played in. A winning context, not a fantasy football context. BTW, he's a HOFer too.

Agreed! Not that numbers are everything. But, since you brought up raw yards without context. Let me try to add a little context. Sammy Watkins ranks 76th in raw yards. When you adjust for games played, his 55yds/ game now becomes 43rd. When you adjust for the team, playcalling, QB, style of play, he rises to 25th, his adjusted yards per game is now 70. How did I get this? The average NFL has about 250 yards receiving per game, the Bills are 200, and adjustment of 1.25. You could adjust further, like Sammy played only about a quarter against Miami, but I'm not going to. BTW, the top guys are Stefon Diggs, Antonio Brown and Alshon Jeffrey. Beckham is in between somewhere. The top WR from last years class right now is Mike Evans at an adjusted 91/game. Another mistake people make with numbers is they represent only what has happened, not what could happen in the future because of the players potential-which is a scouting issue.

Its the same in all sports. Take away the middle, and defend inside out, and that starts with stopping the run. Pressure up the middle. Trouble starts when they spread you out and create gaps in the defense.

Thank you I was worried. Now we're guaranteed! Drag racing on 90

^^^^^^^Agree he looked pretty good. The team around him is crap though.

I think the most objective projection is 2-1 to be 7-5 after 12 weeks. Loss @NE, Win @KC, Win vs HOU. I think we will beat KC because I've watched us kick the crap out of them the last 2 years and lose. Won't happen again, we are better than they are. Look at the man to man matchups. No way we lose to Houston at home.

Where are the RW<TT<EJ people? You know, the good who got screwed in Camp because he didn't get enough reps with the ONES.

In a league where 8-8 and 9-7 or to 10-6, in other words a one game swing, this kind of stuff happens way too much.

Ronald Darby is pretty good. So is Lesean McCoy. I think King is a decent guy, who seems to work at his craft. I like Gruden and I ain't apologizing for it.

Agreed about the incompetence. The rules in the NFL have never been less understood or more poorly applied. That abortion of a game in Seattle last night was unwatchable. Flags, whistles, delays, reviews that shouldn't have been needed. Yet, nothing ever changes when it comes to the NFL.

EJ in London vs Jax ..right? What do I win?

Bottom line:The most important game this week for Bills fans to care about is that KC loses at Denver! New England game vs Giants will most likely be irrelevant, except for injuries.

Yep^^^^^^^^^. Tired of those on here who are 100% negative!

Good call! I agree and was thinking the same thing. This thread has strayed away from its original intention which was ball security and not turning the ball over. He has done a great job all season with that aspect. The Jets have a fine defense and I was happy with his performance. He is doing what is asked of him, which prior to the season we all would have signed up....well almost all. There are still those who will hold him to a standard of perfection.

That's what a real man does. Now we need people to pick the Patriots and be wrong! Nice prediction, keep up the good predicting. I had Bills 17-13. Go Bills!

Can always count on this kind of a post after a big one. Pathetic.

Eyah. That was awesome. We're improving as a team.

Special Teams have been much better tonight

YES@!!!!!!!!!!!

Will you just shut up

....I keep the ladies cr....'in!

I hope all the Jets pickers show up tomorrow and eat crow.

Rex in 9-0 in games with a crescent moon covered over by clouds, just after it rained, with pending high winds the day after and when his wife gives him a foot job before the game!

Love the Bills red jerseys! Would prefer white pants
