Punching Bag Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Black Friday gifts for all 32 NFL teams http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/32for32x161125/black-friday-shopping-gifts-all-32-nfl-teams-2016 Fuzzy Bills slippers for Sammy Watkins. After he returned to practice Wednesday after weeks on injured reserve, the Bills could use Watkins' help as they attempt to climb in the AFC standings and sneak into the playoffs. Watkins' left foot has been a source of frustration for Bills fans since he underwent surgery in the spring, and a pair of slippers would surely go a long way to keeping him comfortable and pain-free moving forward. Surprised this term 'Black Friday' has not been destroyed by PC crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I think you are REALLY underestimating our opponent Their D is good No team likes to lose every game....which will make them dangerous I am not saying we are gonna lose.....but this is the kind of mentality I really hope our players do not have in a game we really need Yup. IMHO, Jags have talent but underperforming. Though I dont watch a lot of their games, I have watched a couple. It points to a coaching deficiency (and not pointing at Marrone alone). At this point of the season, the Bills shouldnt be underestimating any team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 @SalSports Bills activate Sammy Watkins. Sign K Jordan Gay. Also place S Robert Blanton on the Reserve/Injured list and released TE Gerald Christian @BuffaloBillsPR Last season after returning healthy from the #Bills bye, @sammywatkins racked up the third-most receiving yards (900) in the @NFL.

3rdand12 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Yup. IMHO, Jags have talent but underperforming. Though I dont watch a lot of their games, I have watched a couple. It points to a coaching deficiency (and not pointing at Marrone alone). At this point of the season, the Bills shouldnt be underestimating any team. I was thinking about this. How do both teams stay focused. Well I thought about Rex saying , " this is the best 2-10 team in the league ". It's his way of being humorous, but also saying the Bills had better not relax one bit. I did not think at all about what Bradley might say. he is a goner. also Fan in Chicago might be onto something. I do think Sammy feels himself to be a prima donna. And I would force him onto the field at this point in any manner i could Robert Blanton was such a miss Every GM has them.....but this one hurt.

Aaron Williams turned out to be a great bargain in the "corner turned safety" thing but we needed to hedge our bets here......the communication in the secondary is floundering with him not there so we needed a adequate replacemeint.....a lot of the heat the corners are taking is because of late safety help.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 If they took a safety in the first over a potential stud QB I'd be extremely pissed off. If the QB class is similar to 2013 when they forced a pick, you'd kill them for that too. They can't win with fans like you either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I feel like every year we hear other QBs emerge as we get closer to draft day. I have no idea about the QB class. But your last sentence is simply not true. I was not against them taking Lynch last year and I certainly wouldn't be upset if they took a potential great QB if there when we pick. And the EJ pick was different. They forced him in the lineup, gave him no competition and put immense pressure on him to perform while having no other options. Do you honestly think that bills fans would stand for the goff treatment with a QB I am not saying we should not draft a QB.....should draft one every year.......but you have to do it in the context of "best available value" Where we will be picking that value is probably going to be a safety or a wide receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNW_Bills_Fan Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 They did bring in Kevin Kolb to start so EJ could sit. Let's not revise history. EJ was supposed to sit for a couple years. Fans may have not liked it but that was the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may think that the plan for competition (Kolb) was poor, but to say that they didn't have competition for him is incorrect. As to forcing a QB selection, the only time I endorse it is in a situation like the 2013 Bills--when the cupboard is completely bare of anyone with franchise potential.

As to forcing a QB selection, the only time I endorse it is in a situation like the 2013 Bills--when the cupboard is completely bare of anyone with franchise potential. Anyone who thinks that Kolb was intended to provide serious competition to EJ really must think Nix, Whaley and Marrone were complete idiots. When the guy you call competition is a critically busted up and washed out vet.....who despite numerous opportunities never managed to even throw 10 TD passes in a season.....pathetically unproductive......well it's pretty clear he is a tomato can intended to be very easily kicked over by a rookie QB. The Bills had a veteran QB in TJax on a laughably cheap contract who could have easily kept EJ on the bench and they released him for a reason............they didn't want the locker room questioning their inevitable elevation of EJ Manuel to starter in his rookie season. I don't know what their exact intention was on draft day but when they cut TJax around minicamp time they had already decided that they wanted EJ to "earn" the job at the expense of a guy in Kolb that they should have been ashamed to have even acquired and exposed to more suffering.

They can't win with fans like you either way. What forced them to make that pick? Where we will be picking that value is probably going to be a safety or a wide receiver That thinking is exactly why the Bills are a QB mess. Regardless of the round other NFL teams overvalue the QB position and leave the Bills holding the safety. Round 1, round 2, round 3...doesn't matter. Until they take a QB ahead of where they have him slotted they will continue to strikeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Completely changing the subject is not moving the goalposts? I will slow down if you need me to Oh, I'm sorry. Let me get back to the original post. Back when the Bills had a receiver who would go over the middle (Andre Reed) and sacrifice his body to catch accurate passes from his QB (Jim Kelly), the Bills were a good football team. Now ... we have Sammy Watkins who is "too hurt to play," until we play the 2nd worst team in the league .... in actuality he doesn't want to play because he's got a QB who is more likely to get him killed than he is to get him an accurate pass anywhere other that the sidelines. Meanwhile, because of the inaccurate, schitty QB and the "elite" wide receiver who will only play when he's 100% healthy .. our Bills suck complete ass. Move that goalpost, homer boy.
