reddogblitz Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Rome just lit into him, basically said he was terrible at the internet and needs to apologize to Bills fans... Sammy doesn't have to apologize to me. I have no idea what he said on Twitter or what others said about him. And, I really don't care. Just catch the football is all I ask.

Prickly Pete Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Where is the team muzzle? Ryan has already stated that he won't muzzle the players, but maybe the muzzle needs to come from the GM or owner? Rex needs a muzzle, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Man, we are straight up chasing this guy out of Buffalo because he had unlucky injuries. Get it straight people, you fired first, on his instagram, on his facebook, on his twitter. Sure that happens to all athletes, but when they fire back don't act shocked and appalled because you acted like the douchebags first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Leave him alone. Let him play football. He's probably frustrated with just about everything right now. We need him on the field catching passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishHook22 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Social media's a weird thing. We pass judgements on people we've never met because "they said something" or "haven't lived up to OUR expectations." I try not to do that. We're all different. But $10 bucks says you cheer next time he scores. A lot of people like their athletes to "shut up" and work. People tend to view their lives of punching the clock as no different than that of an athletes. But I've always thought it a dangerous habit to compare "real world jobs" and pro athletes. They're not the same, not even remotely close. And it sucks IMO to make the connection/relationship with the players we root a purely fiscal one. It takes the fun out of sports and replaces enjoyment with jealously and resentment. Sammy will learn that it's not always the best idea to respond to fans. But lose respect for him, naw. I'm good. I'm still psyched we've got a talent like him and have got my fingers crossed these injuries will soon be a thing of the past. I hear ya and yeah maybe I am looking to deep into what he said. I too am glad that we have him on the team just hope that he gets healthy. Were you one of those losers tweeting at him, and now you're feelings are hurt because he called you out? NO!! I don't do that crap it's stupid to do so, gets you no where. As for my feelings hurt hell no, I want the guy to show up, play, and be a positive role modal for kids.

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 This kid spends too much time talking and typing rather than playing. Rex is not the coach this kid needs to reach his full potential, that is for sure. Seems to me he needs a Parcells type coach, not a buddy who encourage shim to speak/type....

YoloinOhio Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Athlete Twitter (or IG or whatever social media) is just noise anymore. They are all on there (of course Brady still uses Facebook) and that's how they express themselves. they are not usually very articulate. It is rarely worth any outrage. The best thing for him to do is to not read comments or his mentions on Twitter - or mute/block/ignore on Twitter. Not sure how that works on IG but he probably doesn't want to miss the "good"fan interaction by making it private. he's probably been dealing with "fan" hate on social media since high school. The amount of hate spewed at 16-17 year old football recruits from what are probably otherwise normally functioning adults is amazing. CFB programs have to issue pleas to fans to please stop tweeting at the recruits, but they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 You are correct!!! What the heck is Watkins "thinking?" It is not a good strategy to belittle the fans that support your team and pay your salary. As someone who has contributed virtually nothing to the Bills thus far in his career, he might consider being quiet. If Watkins wants to silence the critics then he should produce on the field. If he succeeds, the critics will disappear. If he remains on the trainer's table the rest of his career and keeps making idiotic comments by himself (or through his agent) then he will have a miserable time in this league. Many people believe it was a mistake to spend two 1st round picks to draft him. Watkins is doing his best to prove them to be correct. But he wasn't belittling " fans" just some idiots on his media page. And fans don't directly pay his salary , not exactly. Saying that is like calling a pail of sand " the beach". But there's really no defending those individuals that posted those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy posts pic of his family at disneyland. "What are you doing walking around Disneyland with your family? Shouldn't you be training, and working out so that you aren't such a bust? #glasswatkins" = the people Sammy, and the rest of us are criticizing.

jumbalaya Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Sammy should let his play on the field do his talking. That is if he can get on the field without breaking a leg crossing the chalk line. Last 16 Bills games -- 41 catches 647 yards, 4 TDs missed three games, shut out in 1. two 100 yard games & TDs because of a bomb in each. He could not even get healthy in the off season to practice in the preseason. He'd be an all-star if he could run as fast as he runs his mouth. His stats suck because he can't / won't play. He quit on EJ last year, he dropped the pass to extends the last drive in the Pats game this year. And he wants low-life Bills fans not to get on back? The only losers for the last 15 years are those wearing the Bills uni's. Sammy it is time to NUT UP god bless you too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
