Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Well, this could seriously be a 3-13 season if Sammy is out long term. Robert Woods as #1, Goodwin or Salas as 2. Edited September 12, 2016 by K-GunJimKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 There's a treatment for that! Bills star wide receiver Sammy Watkins is playing with severe discomfort in his surgically repaired foot, the Daily News has learned. X-rays taken after the Bills season-opening loss to the Ravens on Sunday did not reveal another break, according to a person familiar with the situation, but Watkins is far from out of the woods.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 @MMehtaNYDN Sources: Bills star WR Sammy Watkins could be shut down for several weeks, if not longer, with foot issue. Story: https://t.co/QzsZJlRgnv All the more reason that they should have added another threat as a WR in the offseason. They desperately need a number 2.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Stop being a BBFS fatalist. Dez Bryant, Julio Jones, Julian Edelman and others have had foot issues that have been corrected by surgery. They all continue to pay at a high level. @MMehtaNYDN Sources: Bills star WR Sammy Watkins could be shut down for several weeks, if not longer, with foot issue. Story: https://t.co/QzsZJlRgnv It's the regular season - i just don't see them shutting him down unless he is legit unable to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire's Beer Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Well, this could seriously be a 3-13 season if Sammy is out long term. Robert Woods as #1, Goodwin or Salas as 2. The best part is that the Sammy injury could well give Whaley/Rex/Roman the excuse they need to BS Terry and Kim into another year after going 3-13 or 5-11. Yay!

Nihilarian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yikes! The New York Daily News' Manish Mehta reports Sammy Watkins (foot) "could be shut down for several weeks" because of "severe discomfort" in his surgically-repaired foot. X-rays taken after Sunday's game did not show a new break, but Mehta reports it remains possible he is shut down for the entire season. It is also possible he is able to manage the pain and continue playing. His status moving forward is completely up in the air, but at this point, it seems unlikely he plays a full 16 games. With the Bills hosting the Jets on Thursday, Watkins should be considered questionable at best for Week 2. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/341328/report-sammy-watkins-could-be-shut-down?ls=roto:BUF:topheadlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Medical personnel, including renowned foot specialist Robert Anderson, have advised Watkins against a surgical remedy for the issue at this time. It's possible, however, that Watkins could be shut down for several weeks, or possibly longer, depending on how his foot responds in the coming days."

mannc Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I distinctly remember the Bills' FO reassuring us that the surgery was no big deal and that Sammy would be absolutely fine. This was also cited as a reason that there was no need to consider a WR with our first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Does this maybe explain the lack of shots down the field? You can still use Goodwin to do that though, otherwise there is no reason to have him on the roster. I can't handle this.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 He played 42 of 49 snaps for the game, and didn't miss an extended stretch. It sounds like its do-able for him to still play. Will he be at the same level? No - but he's still our best receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racecitybills Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) This is probably true and is of course horrible news but I would caution that the clown Mehta from the NY Daily News absolutely hates Rex and hates the Bills so who knows how much is true- Edited September 12, 2016 by racecitybills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm not a doom and gloom guy...not having Sammy is an enormous blow. Have to wonder if he re-injured it or simply wasn't ready. This offense won't make it without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
