Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 You should have a blog. I have thought about it, but there's no fun in being right all the time. I guess the one "small" exception is predicting greatness for Jeff Tuel, but I blame marrone for ruining him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I thought Gilmore would be better with Belichick. I was wrong. Kupp is outshining Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Watkins has been doing nothing, and gilmore didn't play this week. Gilmore will be in NE next year - Watkins likely will not be in LA. They have a franchise tag, but at this point i don't think they'd use it. He's on pace for 40 catches for less than 600 yards and 5 TDs. He'll make more money on the open market so I don't think he'd sign a mid-season extension. Jeffery and Pryor are the only other big names hitting free agency, so he's likely to get overpaid. I'm sure there will be some cuts/surprises, but everyone wants WRs and he's in that upper tier with regards to free agents. For LA Donald will hold out again if they don't give him dareus money, and their best DB is a free agent. With woods, Kupp, austin, cooper already under contract - it might not make the most use of their abundance of cap space to tag a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Tough call. Probably neither of them, but gilmore if anything. Was never that sold on Sammy as being great, and combining that with he was going to a bad offence. (Offence is much better now of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I thought Gilmore would be really good in Belichik's system. Wrong so far. I thought Watkins would be very dependent on who the QB was. Didn't know what to expect with Goff, really. So no predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 really, the Rams would have been much better trading a 4th for Matthews than Watkins. They likely didn't know they could get him, though. The Eagles had been shopping Matthews around the league for a long time........no takers......finally threw him in to close the Darby deal. They got almost nothing at all in return for him......Darby's value couldn't have been any higher than the 3rd rounder the Bills got.......... and the Eagles now have a dynamic offense without Matthews because the receivers that they have play to not-only what Wentz does best....but also what they want Wentz to do....which is push the ball downfield. I will say it again........most teams want to be able to score quickly.......needing long drives to score is a recipe for failure in a league with such turnover and so little practice time. Matthews has been productive and a great teammate/character guy.......so that paltry return speaks volumes to just how little interest teams have in a big slot receiver.

Gugny Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Kupp is also way outshining Zay. Coulda woulda shoulda. I think every other WR in the NFL is outshining Zay, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he is slower and more cumbersome this year and I'd be surprised to see him miss less than 2 or 3 games just due to getting rest. The big slot guys need to be replaced by tight ends like what Clay used to bring to the table or Jimmy Graham. Unfortunately most of those guys go play basketball.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think every other WR in the NFL is outshining Zay, so far. Ehhh because of his draft status, and past success - every other WR in the NFL other than Amari Cooper, is outshining zay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Gilmore. He is being used horribly by the Pats but he has also played horribly. Much worse than he ever played as a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFront_USAF Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I thought Watkins was the more talented of the two, and still do, but would need more time to get accustomed to the offense and develop a rapport with Goff, who would be looking to the recievers he has played with before Sammy. I never really liked Gilmore, but I assumed that BB knew something I didn't when he signed him, as he usually does. I could not have been more wrong there.

BuffaloMatt Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 And Matthews isn't? Nope. I'm not saying injuries don't happen. They do. Matthews is already on the mend. May play this week. Those two, Watkins more so than Gilmore, have a injury history. And the OP question had nothing to do with Matthews' durability. At least I was talking about the guys in the post.

aristocrat Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I thought Gilmore was gonna be all pro . Sammy I thought would suffer cause Goff couldn’t get him the ball. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I thought that they were both rated higher in the minds of some fans than what they truly were but thought that they'd both at least be playing decently, never did I expect them both to be playing this poorly. So I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 No i was never wrong.....thought the Sammy trade was stupid move that bad FO's make. On the plus side would never of paid Gilmore that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba fan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Gilly, had more time in the BB system. Shocked but he may turn it around. He will be OK. Anyone who follows him knows how it goes. He is just not worth lock down contract. String of bad to avg games then a string of very good games. That is what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
