And make this team worse?
- buffalofan19

each week they game plan around him

each week he does not play

not sure how it makes the team worse, game plan around the 3 wr's you have on the field


right now watkins is not the solution, he is a problem
that can all change if he get's his ass on the field

drouin 6 points in 5 games
1 goal 5 helpers

playing a tad under 16 minutes a night


that is the progression I expect from the skunk a year down the road

I just did next weeks roster. And yep I grabbed Druin.

The passing game has been mediocre to horrendous with him out. Taylor had to beat his weakest opponent on the schedule with his legs, not his arm. If they keep this up, this team doesn't win 7 games this year. And yes, that considers the fact that they have already won 3.

It's not terrible to have him out there with Deslauriers on the 4th line at the moment. He's getting PP time as well and the 4th line overall isn't only getting 4 minutes a night. He actually had over 12 last night, which is about what Girgensons got to start out the year during his rookie campaign.

delorian and larrson are about 50 times better than mcmuscle, kaleta, ellis and the other scrubs the mexican was playing with during his wasted seasons

and then he's done for the year. I highly doubt that's a good move.

then he needs to get on the field and be part of the solution

IMO it's part O-line, and part play calling


reality, our 3 wins have been against crap teams and the bills were way behind when the 4th quarter started playing the 2 decent teams, at home

if the bills win sunday, big if I know, they get 12 wins this season
if they lose, could be 8 wins


this game is huge

I have him this week, my budget is all over the place on next weeks team

Three things about yesterdays game:

1) Can we trade for Jagr?
2) Reinhart stays
3) Can we really trade for Jagr?

IMO it's part O-line, and part play calling

It's also part nobody to throw to. The fact that Chris Hogan had to be the one to catch a 40 yarder late speaks volumes.

4) Can we get a real goalie?
5) Seriously can we trade for Jagr?

with watkins out, they should be running the spread offense and hogan should be getting 7 or 8 5 yard targets a game


they are trying to be a power run team right now with an average o line, fringe nfl rb's and 8 in the box


spread them out, dink and dunk down the field like the pats, then open up the run and long ball

pathetic play calling

then he needs to get on the field and be part of the solution

right now he is a problem
- homiedclown

He's more of a problem on the field if he's not healthy than if he stays off the field to heal.

A Ullmark will be the answer in 2-3 weeks IMO
B I wanted Jagr for a few years now

I heard it was watkins call if he was going to play last week


like I said, the timing makes no sense for his childish rant

each week they game plan around him

He'll likely play this week and if he doesn't, he will next week. He had 1 target in the first game and it came when he was double covered. He wants to be more involved in the game. It starts by playing but that will come. Putting him on IR for an injury that doesn't require IR 2 weeks before the bye is silly.

The big problem with the Bills is the running game. McCoy is the guy but he isn't playing and Williams is hurt. The O-line and game plan for the run game aren't good enough for Boobie to carry the team. If McCoy can come back to the player he can be, (might play Sunday), then the passing game should follow.

Btw, McKelvin could play against the Jags. With Gilmore doing pretty well and Darby playing better than anyone could have predicted I wonder if he fits in as a relief player for a while.

Ullmark

I don't blame him. While Tyrod Taylor has been doing just enough to win a couple games, mostly with his legs, the passing attack has been mediocre to bad, even before Watkins got hurt. He's your #1 receiver. You should be targeting him like he is. I have no problem with him saying that.
- buffalofan19

Neither do I. It's ridiculous how they do not get him the ball.

DeAndre Hopkins ate Vontae Davis alive a few weeks ago, we were scared to throw it near him. If you have a #1 receiver, you feed them no matter who is covering them

. It starts by playing but that will come. Putting him on IR for an injury that doesn't require IR 2 weeks before the bye is silly.

he put up eric decker numbers last year, not julio jones


he needs to shut up and let the play on the field do his talking, and that starts by getting his ass on the field


if you or I missed 4 weeks of work, what would happen to us if we made demands before we even went back to our job?

start the game with a spread offense, throw him 2 or 3 5 yard passes out of the gate to get him involved , no matter who is on him



and hopkins may be the best wr in the game now

then he needs to get on the field and be part of the solution

right now he is a problem
- homiedclown

No he is not.

No I get that, I'm just saying all you'll do is hurt the team more. He shouldn't be talking and should shut up and play, but IR won't help at this point. Also, for what it's worth, he did call out the author of the article on twitter for not including the part where he says he doesn't really care about individual stats and just wants to win. Probably damage control, but still said in the public forum.

1) i hope you are right... but he has only played one game
2) me too (to, 2)

and hopkins may be the best wr in the game now

- homiedclown

I have him and Freeman

He has the right to say it, because it's 100% true

- homiedclown

Have Hopkins on my fantasy team. Got him in the 7th round
