26CornerBlitz Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 @RapSheet There is no surgery scheduled for #Bills WR Sammy Watkins, though he will visit Dr. Robert Anderson to be sure. Finally just rest & rehab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 So the excuses are ready for the losing season. Why? The only game they have won so far was without Sammy. No point in having a guy running routes with crutches over a healthy player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leroi Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 What an embarrassing, disappointing player. He should give some money back. Probably will be bagging groceries in some small job in a couple. All the potential in the world. Only to Bust. And after mortgaging our future. Whaley really screwed us.

QCity Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Now hang on, are we attributing his lack of production during that stretch solely to injury? I'm not sure how you determine that. Orton had a big dropoff in efficiency after the Jets game. Combine that with an uptick in rushing productivity, a nagging injury, the rookie, wall, and the general ebb and flow of a WR's production, and it's unsurprising to me. Sammy had 4 games as a rookie in which he was targeted 10 or more times...3 of them came before that stretch and one came after. It doesn't follow as a logical progression that the injury would simply go away despite him not missing any games, so why would his productivity suddenly jump as December rolled around? Obviously, we can't say for certain, but it certainly appeared that an increased effort to get him the ball was the issue...same as last year. He was clearly hampered by an injury, it wasn't even debatable at the time to be honest. It's a moot point now that he's on IR, the "he's only missed 3 games" excuse can't be played anymore.

The Wiz Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) You think that success is sustained for the rest of the year without Sammy. Our passing game is essentially shot without him. Sustained, probably not. But it wasn't exactly awe inspiring with him so far this season. And truthfully this just mean that Powell will get more playing time and I just like watching him play.

dayman Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hey guys, guess what? WE WON THE OFFSEASON! Great move going so defensive heavy (with guys that also aren't playing lol). I like a lot of what Whaley has done and usually defend him but it's a tough pill to swallow this time. We have freaking nothing left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. I like watching Powell play but would prefer a healthy Sammy. Powell vs a hurt/limited Sammy, I'd probably still take Sammy. Powell is just my under the radar, guilty pleasure player to watch this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Predictable. How much crap the FO has dishes us this year. On Shaq, Sammy, signing Tyrod cuz he's the real deal. I like DW, but the Sammy pick just keeps looking worse and worse. They will say otherwise but I bet they shut Sammy down for the year by week 8. Even if you say DW's not to blame for injuries, he knew tender-foot Watkins was hobbled and we didn't look for a serious substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a lot of what Whaley has done and usually defend him but it's a tough pill to swallow this time. We have freaking nothing left. i wasnt upset with shaq (in fact, i like him for a ryan defense.... if we keep with one).... but i thought a WR at 1 or 2 would have been a nice pick. especially with woods likely gone at the end of the year (just my opinion). its a tough spot today... and will make things like evaluating TT more of a challenge, thats for sure. hopefully clays knee holds up now.... LOL. I like watching Powell play but would prefer a healthy Sammy. Powell vs a hurt/limited Sammy, I'd probably still take Sammy.

TaskerTough Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) I think this is the end of Sammy in Buff. New rules dictate that you can only bring one guy back from IR. we got to wait 8 on Sammy now... so if Lawson is ready in week 8, we'll activate him. I think we're going to trade the right to extend his rookie contract one year, to whomever gives us a 1st round pick for'm... i'm being optimistic. EDIT: wrong! Shaq's on PUP. so.. guess Sam could come back. whatever. Edited September 30, 2016 by TaskerTough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
