he should. same with Cooper Kupp...... Sad to see him ignored....

Wow another 3 targets for Sammy. The DB covering him was either 10 yards off so an easy completion or Watkins beat him at the line and Goff didn't look his way. For 2+ quarters Goff was actually lousy and then things clicked.

They sulk when they get 8 targets a game...... Brown lost it earlier this year over targets and has many times in the past. Same with OBJ..... As for Goff's #'s they are just okay in terms of accuracy. Again unbelievable that only 31 Targets and 121st in the league and healthy.

Still ridiculous that he has only been targeted 31X's (121st in the league). And surprise he hasn't lost any speed (as some others have claimed)...... And Royale With Cheese, he can be open all game long (and often is) and Goff isn't looking his way.......... Watch the game and pretty obvious. What is sad is that he isn't the #1 option and that lies with Goff & the OC. Now it could simply be that the OC doesn't trust Goff to throw to the #1 receiver if covered by #1CB & doubled......

You aren't watching...... His accuracy is actually not great. He's missed Watkins on many of those 31 targets (along with other receivers). He doesn't have a great feel for the pockets or his reads and he's successful thinks to great playcalling. Will he get better, hopefully (if you're a fan), but right now he is just okay and the coaching and pieces around him very good. TT is a better QB. On Buffalo Goff would be a disaster.

Yes bang on..... He really is succeeding thanks to very good coaching an innovative offense and good weapons. How anyone in there right mind doesn't look and see that Kupp has way more targets then Watkins and not see a problem is just trying to further their anti-watkins stance. BTW the bomb to Watkins was a great catch as he turned on the jets to get to the ball......

Actually he draws the opposing teams #1 cover with usually help. Goff doesn't even look his direction, however he impacts the play. 31 targets is pathetic and ranked 121 in the league and he's been healthy. The Rams are succeeding with a QB much worse then TT, but an OC who knows what he's doing. Watkins will be fine, just unfortunate to see Goff unable to utilize him.....

He would be as good or better than Dak, Goff and a # of others given a proper OC and weapons.

I've said it before and will reiterate...... TT with a decent OC, would be a very serviceable QB. The FO did all they could to torpedo him and the offense this year. However a funny thing happened (prior to the Jets game) and the Bills were winning. They had two what looked like marquee wins against teams that now appear to be less then their press clippings (Denver & Atlanta), and solid wins vs. NYJ & Oakland and actually a 4th Q win vs Tampa. They also had a ridiculous turnover differential with every bounce & tip going their way. And two tight losses. I feel bad for TT as with any decent coaching and last years weapons, this team could really be good, and maybe adding Benjamin they will be, but it will come down to the coaching and playcalling. Again I've watched Goff, and he is not that good. He has had a great OC and talent around him. Wentz too has played really well, but if he was a Bill I'd wouldn't be so sure. Nice that the Bills decided to get help for the Offense halfway through the season, but my question is....... What took them so long?

Yes great post and someone who has watched the Rams. They have lost two games this year and generally mirror the Bills in that they play well with the lead and great blowing teams out and not asking much of Goff. When the game gets tight it will be interesting to watch how they react (lousy vs. Seattle and a loss to Washington). In terms of catches & targets Watkins is 121 in the league and that is criminal.

So anyone else see the Julio drop yesterday? Just wondering how you'd react and crucify him. Of course many here would explain that the Carolina defense wasn't trying.

I am being sarcastic with tongue firmly panted in cheek. I consider TT a good QB, who could be much better with more innovative coaching and weapons at WR. I think they tried to sabotage him this year by offering him no help at WR.....

Exactly and so exasperating. The Bills had a very good offense that they didn't know what to do with it (and still don't). Brady, Rodgers, Carson Wentz, Deshawn Watson...... would be handing the ball off in Buffalo, OBJ would get 6 targets a game, Antonio Brown would walk away like Boldin and be called a prima donna.

And why then is the opposing teams #1 back assigned him or double teamed???? Because he's a scrub? And who is worth the money? I love how every receiver is not worth the money they're being paid. The good news is Matthews value is tumbling, so that bodes well.....

Kupp will not get double covered, because then their fastest and best receiver won't have the #1 cover and double on him (Watkins). Opposing coaches have no choice but to cover Watkins and hope Goff doesn't look his way, which he doesn't.

Goff is not even looking at him as I expect that coaching won't let him throw into double coverage. I also think veterans like Manning & Rothliesberger actually look to their stars to make plays. Watch a Rams game and it is pretty obvious that Goff is performing at a high level due to the schemes and not his skill level. Watkins wide open both targets Saturday and Goff made one pass. Also took serious speed to get to the ball as he blew by the db....

Solid rookie season with injuries and one the the receivers the second half of 2015 when he was healthy on a team that did not throw much. Watch how bad Goff is in his reads and progressions. Doing Watkins no favours. Criminal that Cooper Kupp has 48 vs. 31 targets for Watkins. Riddle me this.... Which WR has the other teams #1 db or double coverage assigned to him on the Rams.

Watch Watkins and it is obvious that Goff is doing him no favours. With TT he'd be elite.....

Amazes me the # here hell-bent on defending this FO. How a single poster could not see that this team could be so much better with those two defies logic.

Actually Goff is worse then TT but playing in an offense that it dynamic and inventive. Goff is actually pretty bad wrt accuracy and reading defenses and the fact he checks down worse then TT. Watkins is behind Cooper Kupp as an option says it all. The fact the FO tried to undermine TT & the offense and tank the season says all you need about the Bills. Wow the idea that you need to pay good players seems lost on some here..... BTW continue going on about Watkins injuries, as they are a thing of the past and none this year. Also anyone see Julio Jones drop yesterday? Bills fans would demand his trade today......

Sad watching Goff not using Watkins. Burned the Giants on two bombs (one a lousy throw by Goff). Actually Goff is not as good as TT, but has an offense that takes advantage of his skills and has fresh looks and a great OC. He makes tons of mistakes and Watkins is open often. Watching him target Cooper Kupp over Watkins tells me he just is not that good. The fact that Bills wanted to tank, did a bad job assessing the league and their chances and basically did everything they could to undermine the offense and TT irks me to no end. Now they got Benjamin and will see if it works. Why he wasn't dressed Thursday to at least be a decoy again tells me a lot about the Bills.

And now you wonder how good the team could have been if this "Brain Trust" decided to actually care about the offense and not go into that semi-tank mode. How much better would they be with Watkins still on the team and as said a decent offense. Of course they'll be talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Yep remember the Bills Browns....... And of course for those who love defense. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200910110buf.htm

He's always matched against an opposing teams 4th receiver. Everyone know's that. And couldn't help the Bills.....

Really now that is a stretch..... Still demanding coverage & doubles from opponents and over 1,000 yards in 2015 on few targets....... Wait The Donald has a name for your post..... FAKE NEWS!!!!!!
