K-9 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 When Lofton showed up Reed and the Bills offense on the whole got much better. Lofton was near the end of his career, some viewed him as done. Bills need to pick up a vet WR in the off season. Who's going to be available? Maybe Calvin Johnson? Sammy was great today. Couldn't agree more. Problem is, those days of putting in a claim and paying the $100 waiver fee are long gone for waived veterans. I look for Whaley to target a WR, regardless. GO BILLS!!! This stat suggests Manning is forcing the ball too much to Beckham. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 This doesn't make sense. Watkins didn't have 60 catches and 1047 yards in just nine games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 excellent way to end the season. Nice to see Sammy and Tyrod clicking and healthy at the end of the season. So important. Sammy needs to teach Tyrod the importance of going out of bounds and saving your body from the big hit. He's smart that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Final Season stats: 60 catches 1047 yards 9 TDs That's the crime right there. Felony criminal waste of resources. Less than 4 catches a game. If Sammy had the 90-100 catches he should have, he'd be 1500+ yds, with 14+ TDs. Sentence should be loss of job, but no, they got probation.

chris heff Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Did you just insinuate that Megatron would come to buffalo as a number 2 WR to Sammy? Man I love this board after wins! I know, but Johnson's contract is crazy and I get the feeling they are going to blow it up in Detroit. He'll probably end up in New England.

The Frankish Reich Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 And Sammy caught most of his passes over the middle today! Will wonders never cease? Tyrod and Roman using the whole field!

Chandler#81 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 What they need is a number 2 that wont screw up that key throw to him while Sammy gets the lions share. If we want TT to throw the ball more and run less......then we need wideouts that dont drop the ball and fall down in the end zone So, you're saying Hogan's a goner? I agree.

Nah, I don't think we need to force it to Sammy all game long if we're healthy. Our running game is damned good, and Clay is a really good TE. And Woods is a good possession guy if coverage is leaning towards Sammy. We're ranked like 10th in the league in offense, even with all of our injuries, I think that says what we have been doing (balance) works well.

I'm not saying he needs 15 targets but he needs 10. Look at the production! This is the first time we threw screens and slants to him. There were entire halves we didn't throw to him one time. That's unconscionable. He's one of the most talented and best players in the league. You HAVE to use him. It would be different if it were the case of you have to be careful. Or wait til he has single coverage. That has been proven to be untrue. He beats double coverage too. We succeeded on third down a lot today because we threw him the ball on third down. And he was uncoverable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we should target him more at times, but I also think we need to take what the defense gives us as far as matchups. A lot of teams double cover Sammy, which gives us other opportunities. Today the Jets appeared to stick with single covering him with Revis, and they got burned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) These stats aren't correct. Sammy had 49 rec. and 900 yds and 7 TD's over last 9 games.

We don't have a complex passing game and Taylor rarely goes to a 2nd read. It is a one or two read look and then Taylor runs. Take a look at the receiving numbers of guys in SF under Roman. Investing a ton in a 2nd wr when we have good players already is a wAste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed here. I think if we can replace Harvin/Goodwin with a fast guy that has a bit more size/durability, we'll be in good shape. Doesn't need to be any sort of probowler. Just someone that can create a mismatch at times, another piece to the puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there won't be enough balls to go around in Romans offense to justify paying someone of Marshalls caliber as Sammys compliment. Woods and Clay (McCoy to a lesser extent) are the perfect compliments to Sammy. But when you're a team that struggles to get to 200 yards passing, there aren't enough touches for everyone. That said, I also guarantee Woods won't re-sign here so we should draft a guy later in the draft. There are always a ton of Wrs. Manish Mehta @MMehtaNYDN 6s6 seconds ago Darrelle Revis showed no accountability after his terrible performance today. Real Jets team leaders spoke. Revis did not. #nyj Reporters get so butthurt when players don't talk to them. That said, Revis is a hired gun and definitely isn't the player he once was.

True and the injuries have been the most frustrating part. But it's hilarious that in college he was a beast on screens and we never threw them to him as a rookie. He is a top 5 if he gets feed the ball like he did today. This is why Whaley made that trade. He is a difference making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaimo25 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think the one thing I noticed today, that they have not done a lot this year, is they had Sammy lined up all over the place. Back field, slot, outside, lots of motions. I think Roman was out having fun today and experimenting quite a bit, and I do believe this offense will benefit greatly next year if Roman isn't hired away.

Billsguy Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 We need to get him some help........I dont care if its a pass catching TE to go along with Clay or a legit big body number 2 Watkins biggest obstacle is Greg Roman.
