BillsFan130 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Odell, Julio and Antonio have qbs that throw the ball 40+ times a game we throw half of that. Kind of tough to get 17 targets when you only throw 21 times Yep, and Tyrod is not exactly Eli, Ben or Matt Ryan yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Yep, and Tyrod is not exactly Eli, Ben or Matt Ryan yet I'm glad he's not Matt Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnearlysghost88 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Our best player is McCoy. I'd say it's sammy. mccoy is getting guaranteed touches out of the backfield and as a safety valve when the coverage is tight. sammy had THREE catches yesterday and it was a TD and over 100yds receiving. could you imagine if he got as many touches at mccoy?

Billsfan1972 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Yep, and Tyrod is not exactly Eli, Ben or Matt Ryan yet Again averaging under 5 targets and 80-90th in the league is criminal. Hoyer finds Deandre 12+/game...... The Bills are 6-6 this year not 9-3...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Our best player is McCoy. I would have though you'd have gone with Brady. Is McCoy that new linebacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 107th in Targets!!!!! That's pathetic...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87168 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 107th in Targets!!!!! That's pathetic...... especially when we made a major move to obtain him. it just doesn't make any sense. I don't understand how some members here don't see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 As another poster stated..... The Bills are the only team in the league that knows how to stop Sammy, and they're damn good at it. Yes a win, but the Bills are the better team, at home and the game still came down to the last 2 minutes. 4 Targets, 3 completions (and one called back that was actually thrown over the middle). That is not enough. Was at the game and Sammy always lined up the same, outside and only a few times in the slot. They need to move him around or try and hide him. Again let's look at the Odell 11 targets, Julio 17, Brown 11...... He asked for 10 targets and the last 6 quarters 5!!!!! Odell's team lost, Julio's team lost...., Giants are under .500, Falcons are falling apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Odell's team lost, Julio's team lost...., Giants are under .500, Falcons are falling apart Teams sometimes do positive things and still lose. Just like teams can win and do some negative things. In case you were wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Because you win doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement. Houston got the ball with 2 minutes and could ave won (like the Bills complain they could have too in 5 of their losses). And Watkins hasn't had any YAC all year. Bombs are nice, but only one was in stride that should have been taken to the house (watkins did juggle it). I'd like to see him run with the ball like receivers generally do....

johnwalter Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Pro Football Focus @PFF 2m 2 minutes ago Sammy Watkins (+8.1) has the 4th highest grade among WRs since Week 9. Starting to really cook on gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Why the Bills haven't run any bubble screens to Sammy is still beyond my rudimentary level of comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Teams sometimes do positive things and still lose. Just like teams can win and do some negative things.

MDH Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 so maybe this means that getting your star receiver 10+ targets a game isn't necessarily a positive thing. Or maybe it means there are other factors that also determine the outcome of the game. Like D, ST, turnovers, penalties, etc., etc. Getting Sammy the ball more would not be a bad thing unless TT staryed forcing it to him no matter what.

The Bills are 6-6 this year not 9-3...... Hoyer also has been benched this year because of interception issues. 100 percent agreed you need to target Sammy more, but tyrod has been coached to not force the issue and not to make the critical mistake. Watkins gets doubled a lot so obviously he is not comfortable throwing it to him 12 times plus per game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watkins gets doubled a lot so obviously he is not comfortable throwing it to him 12 times plus per gameBut 4 times? Just wrong. Either plays of called or bad reads. Pretty obvious watching that Roman doing a bad job and bad job adjusting to get him the ball Btw Houston is 6-6 too.

Pretty obvious watching that Roman doing a bad job and bad job adjusting to get him the ball Btw Houston is 6-6 too. Yes but in my opinion your Hoyer/Hopkins comparison isn't the greatest because he has lost his job multiple times this season. And there are way more important reasons to go into a teams overall record than a quarterbacks targets to their number 1 receiver.. But 4 times? Just wrong. Either plays of called or bad reads. Pretty obvious watching that Roman doing a bad job and bad job adjusting to get him the ball Btw Houston is 6-6 too. But you are not wrong in saying they need to target Sammy more.
