San-O Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Bills need to find all 3 positions in off-season. These number are bad (I know TT can't throw), but these group can't stay on the field and there's little reason to think this is going to get any better next season. http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/16725/sammy-watkins http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/15880/robert-woods http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/14145/charles-clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 There is no reason to think it won't get better. Someone will likely sign Robert Woods next year, but Sammy will be fine. I do think we need to draft a starting WR, and pick up a free agent WR though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually there is. o Clay has an issue which I have seen described as "chronic". o Sammy missed 3 games last year and 8 games this year, AFTER having surgery. And still isn't right per the Bills.

fridge Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I know TT can't throw Yeah, so why blame the receivers? When your QB is too timid to step up in the pocket and let her rip how do you expect to any receiver to have a good year statistically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still isn't right per the Bills. Watkins explained what happened. He was practicing and running full speed, and a lineman running backwards stepped on his foot and almost broke it again. They determined it wasn't broken when they saw a specialist, but another surgery may be necessary to get rid of the pain. He will be fine next year. Stop exaggerating. As I have said many times before, Julio Jones missed the same amount of time his first 3 years, and had about the same stats as Sammy Watkins.

And they seem to all have been playing hurt to some degree or another when they are on the field. Watkins explained what happened.

You pretty certain then that all these guys will play 16 games next year? Also, Sammy is in a contract year next year I think, so you have even more reason to get another WR or 2 on this roster.

Seeing as how he has played 33/44 games so far, yes I feel confident that Watkin's will play a lot next year barring some freak injury like Kelvin Benjamin's ACL tear. Sammy has the 5th year team option so he plays all the way through 2018. And we will resign him. We do need another WR but mostly because Woods will get too much as a free agent.

That makes things a little better, but I still pick up at least 2 receivers this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every athlete that steps on the field or ice for the Bills and Sabres seems to always get hurt. Just this year Watkins, Lawson,Shady and Ragland for the Bills and Eichel, Kane and the whole defense for the Sabres. Its unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be in a hospital bleeding from your lungs and kidneys if you took one hit from a NFL LB. He has stayed healthy other than one concussion. He will benefit from having Sammy and Robert out there today. Sammy will still be in the slot a bunch today but look for Goodwin to get a reverse and 3-4 catches today.

Well, your comments aside, Goodwin IS having a career year with 24 receptions. Let's see what happens today with all receivers on the field.
