CountDorkula Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 That's like asking who is being more childish when a 3 year old gets into a pushing fight with a 4 year old. Minus the fact that it is grown ass adults acting like idiots because their fantasy teams are terrible. So I guess you can compare them to 3 year olds...

CodeMonkey Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Or he did what most of us would do if our family and livelihood were maliciously being attacked by strangers and defend ourselves. Did he handle it the best way, probably not, but I still cant blame him. Who is more childish, the people attacking Watkins because "My fantasy team bro" or Watkins for telling them to piss off? They are both equally childish. The difference being that the people attacking initially are just anonymous dbags. Watkins is in the public eye and needs to be better than that. Being the target of dbags comes with his job, unfortunately. Like I said earlier, if he can't deal with that then he should get off social media. All posts aren't going to be "oh Sammy, you are so awesome! All men want to be like you and all women want to be with you". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I totally agree with your first four sentences above, although there may be SOME people who don't. Your last two sentences are off the mark though. This is a message forum where we discuss ALL things Bills' related, so even though I'm not "truly offended", and it doesn't affect my life in any way (I can say the latter about the whole NFL too), I can still offer an opinion about an idiotic statement that a Buffalo Bill made. And again, SOME people may be offended...in today's world, there's ALWAYS going to be somebody offended by everything, LOL......so shouldn't they be allowed to express their opinion? I'm not saying it shouldn't be discussed. I'm more referring to the people truly taking offense and feeling hurt by it. It just surprises me that there are a good number of people who are offended ( legitimately offended) by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USABuffaloFan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 1. Sammy put himself out there for critisim calling out the Bills and their QB for not utilizing him. 2. Fans look at the situation and realize he is hurt all the time so another WR is getting the timing down with the QB's instead. 3. The Bills are failing so far in a promise that this season is playoffs or "BUST". 4. There happens to be allot of immature people in this world today but they do have a right as NFL fans to speak out, ignore them. 5. Sammy could have spoke out and simply said, true Buffalo Bills fans know I play hurt and hard, all others that critize me, can't wait till I am healthy and destroy your teams! 6. Sammy really should have been utilizing his time off rehabbing and resting his injured body parts. 7. The NFL and Bills are the ones that Sammy really harmed here. Hard to advertise NFL hero's and warriors who are prima donna's and uneducated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandiaEast Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) This story needs to die. Agreed. I dont understand the logic behind locking some controversial threads that actually have a structured debate - often involving anti-NFL language or possibility of corruption and game fixing, and allowing this 29 page fiasco that has devolved into a comparison of children in a pushing fight? This thread is being allowed because it is an easy distraction that lets fans quibble among themselves rather than a thread where the NFL is a target which immediately gets locked. When you figure out how this threads continuation contributes positively to the community, let me know. On its face, it sure as hell looks like censorship when some are locked and others are not by the mods. It makes TBD being just another agenda controlled media source.

Jobot Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Could care less about what any of these guys say on twitter. Biggest problem with Watkins so far has clearly been injuries. It's definitely fair to criticize him for this. I don't blame him for it, but it sucks for team especially with the price they paid to go out and get him. Seems like it's impossible for him to finish a game anymore without some type of ding or injury that causes him to be ineffective. Everyone gets injured. But most guys can still perform not at 100%. Seems like if Sammy is any fraction less than 100% his only skill is drawing a double team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davspo Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) There is only one way for Sammy to get out of the dog house with the fans. He must stay healthy and produce on the field. If he does that all will be forgotten. If he does not, he will have a miserable time in Buffalo. Sammy also has to realize that as a fan base, Bills' fans are much less caustic then most other cities. Some advise from a person with a petty little job to Sammy, smarten up, shut up and do whatever you can to stay on the field and produce.

CodeMonkey Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) But fans, you can say whatever the hell you want and not have to worry about it....... Basically yes. No one gives a rats hairy ass about what some random dbag Bills fan says (except apparently Watkins since it was about him) so no one pays attention to it. But a lot of people care about what Watkins says, otherwise they wouldn't be following his twitter, or instagram or whatever that post was on. So people react to Watkins when he posts like a dbag. You don't have to love it, but that's the way it is. I suspect there is a way he could block specific dbags, or everyone, from posting to him.
