Billsfan1972 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 So SF who held Newton to less passing yards then Buff did and Seattle on the road to also under 200 yards passing now has a lousy defense once the LA Rams shred them. Watkins who had 7 targets in two weeks, caught 6 of 7 yesterday, but again is soft as he is in concussion protocol. His fans claimed that Goff still trying to get comfortable with him, like TT with Matthews..... Conversely Philly seems not to miss Matthews at all either. Again it is obvious watching the Rams, that Goff looks just okay, but when you have an offensive scheme, movement and interesting packages, everyone looks better and played are open. And as Bills fan the idea of a 300 yard passing game is just a dream. Will see what happens Sunday, and who knows come Monday the Bills maybe the surprise of the NFL season (or allow 40 points). Yes only 2 games + 1, but anyone who says Watkins isn't a top receiver Talent and only salivates about draft picks just is not watching the game.

K-9 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Sammy is soft because he's in concussion protocol? Did you see the effort on the play he made while sustaining that hit to the head? Am I missing the sarcasm here or are you really that jaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Philly signed Jefferey and Smith with Agalor in the slot of course they don't miss Mathews. They dumped huge money on those 2 and JM would be the 4th on that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I said my piece in the gameday thread. Today hurts though. Watkkns, Woods, Goodwin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Matthews, Zay, Holmes We had a surefire #1, solid #2 and an elite deep threat. Now we have a slow #2, a struggling (but talented) rookie that probably peaks as a solid 2 and some guys that don't belong in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Goodwin an ELITE deep threat? Another soft track star with questionable hands.Yes, he has been able to hold safeties out of the box. He impacts games by being out there. The threat that he can score on any play helps open the once elite Bills running game. Edited September 22, 2017 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have a slow #2, a struggling (but talented) rookie that probably peaks as a solid 2 and some guys that don't belong in the NFL. Not to mention letting Hogan walk the year before. At this point it's pretty clear just how much talent Whaley was able to acquire that went to complete waste because Pegula got caught up in Rex's flash instead of hiring an offensive head coach and making Schwartz the highest paid DC in football. The Kool-aid drinkers can shovel all the BS they want about "players who want to win" but since Mc. D / Beane took over the team has bled a ton of talent, we won 17 games the past two years despite a coach who knew very little about game management and who ran a special defensive scheme that didn't fit our talent and the league had figured out a long time ago.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 what would you be doing differently, starting with Rex's departure? Can I chime in? I would have canned Rex and tried like hell to convince McDaniels to take the job. I probably would have kept Whaley but if not I would have brought Caserio with McDaniels. I would have done exactly what they did in the draft early. I would have kept Gillislee. I would have picked up Watkins 5th year and worked on a long term extension before the season because the value would have been better. I wouldn't have traded Darby. I might have signed Hyde but I wouldn't have signed Poyer. I would have added a LB instead of Dawkins. I would have signed a starting RT in FA. Off the top of my head that's how I would have proceeded. There's obviously more if I put more thought into it than 25 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Whaley was good and we will come to find that out. Even guys like Humber, Zach Brown Lorax, NRC, Incognito, etc.... He found production at a bargain price.

JM2009 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 A good evaluator of talent? Yes Building a team? No. He would've started EJ Manual ANOTHER season in 2015 had they not hired Rex and my guess is Tyrod would've never been here. He was QB blind. His infatuation with EJ was his biggest downfall IMO.
