Nanker Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I swear I thought I read where Sammy got dinged up at the Steelers PRACTICE - before the game when he got hurt. The play that he got hurt on wasn't much as far as contact goes. It could be another long year. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The fact that he wore a flack jacket in a preseason game illustrates how bad a decision it was to play him. Horrible, Horrible decision. Truly horrible CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Why didn't Sammy sit out too? @ChrisBrownBills Why Chandler and Gilmore sat out http://wp.me/plmrg-aqX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You don't think the trainers know the most basic element of rib injuries? Well, based on Sammy wincing in obvious pain and not returning to the game after a minor hit I have to question it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishDave Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Why Chandler and Gilmore sat out http://wp.me/plmrg-aqX I just assumed that they sat Gilmore to avoid the embarrassment of him potentially getting injured and missing the first 4-6 weeks. You know....then part way through the season he comes back in with a club fist cast on his arm.....been there...done that......If that happened again, someone would hang this staff.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Marrone said he wanted to give him and EJ more time to work together since they havent had much of a chance so far in thr preseason. EJ had 7 attempts last night. 7 attempts You risk further injury to your #1 pick for 7 attempts??? CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any qualms with Marrone trying to get some work between EJ and Watkins. It's a tough game for tough people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Putting him yesterday is something a moron medicore ex college coach would do. And he did. Simply an unreal decision. I hope the kid doesn't let these amateur coaches screw up his head. Help is on the way next year at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Just sit Watkins until we get a QB who can throw him the ball. We might as well have 0 receivers on the field - it wont make EJ any better/worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The hit was really more like a bump,shoulder to shoulder. He wasn`t close to being healed. Fire the trainers and med staff. Get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Am I right that Watkins has had two targets in the pre-season, and was injured on both of them? Only the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJDK Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) This was my number 1 concern about Sammy. It's in my post history. Basically, I think he's a special talent he can't invite contact in the pros like he did in college, he will keep getting hurt. He's not big enough for that. I want him to succeed but the coaches really might have banged a nail into there coffin by playing him today.

PolishDave Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The main reason I was surprised they played Watkins is because we went through a major injury to a high draft pick in preseason before when Gilmore got hurt. Then Gilmore was out for weeks. And everyone was questioning why Gilmore was even in there in that preseason game. You would think that they would have learned their lesson from that Gilmore situation. Obviously they weren't using history as a guide for this decision on whether to play Sammy or not. Fans will revolt if they see their favorite draft pick get hurt in a nearly worthless preseason situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
