People were pissed at the ridiculousness of the whole thing. You give up 2 firsts for a guy. You tell us how he's going to be a HOF'er. Then he's always hurt and never really played. Then the Bills spend the offseason marketing him as finally being healthy and he and Tyrod are going to do something, then they pull the rug out from under our feet. It's being jerked around is why the fans were pissed.

I don’t miss him to be honest.
The Bills need a deep threat however, they have all possession type receivers now, so in that regard they do miss that element in him.
But, as the saying goes, the most important ability is availability..and clearly he wasn’t.

it really doesn't matter who is the WR as long as Tyrod is throwing the ball, and I hope we have seen his last throw as a bill

Trump did set it on fire, said there are too many flat-earthers living there.

Ya, I think they have seen his last.
Start Peterman, tank the last 4 games to get a better draft pick.
Hope KC continues to poop the bed.
Package Shady and one of the 1sts to move up
Draft The Baker.
Go D-line, LB the rest of the draft.
Sign a speedy WR, RB in FA.
Fire Dennison
Hire McCoy
Boom.

Bills should be focused on selecting Baker .... boy is going to be a stud...and entertaining
- IonSabres


So we trade our pick and the kc pick to move up:


What happens if:
Baker Mayfield in his 3rd year doesn't lead the Bills to the playoffs?

Then he sucks too?

Eichel was flat out awesome last night. The hate makes no sense. So he didn't score in ot on a penalty shot----

How about the rush that drew the penalty shot.
He was already out on the ice for 85 seconds, then blew past the defenseman like he was standing still. The effort is there, he's 21!

Why not pile on silent sam? What has he done?

90% of the people here were pissed the bills traded watkins


he moves to a pass throwing offense and his numbers drop

classic case of Buffalo fans over rating their own


I will be curious how much he makes on his next deal, 6 or 7 mil per?
Not even close to the NBA money he was hoping to get

Pretty sure his agent will say "the owners are low balling Watkins due to Watkins beliefs that the earth is flat"

- homiedclown


Great post:
Watkins had a handful of good games for the bills, the rest he was hurt ot shut down

I'm not sold on Baker Mayfield yes he has all the talent in the world but he's such a Richard lol

Hopefully it's just the Philip Rivers Richard

This argument that we gave up TWO first round picks for Watkins will just never die. When he was one of the 1st round picks we got back. We traded the following years first, the 8th overall that year for the 4th overall pick. That is a twofer for a oner. 2-1 = 1. The first the following year, the 8th to move up for the 4th. If he was already a warm body on the Browns then the Bills would have traded two firsts for him.

Lehner and Eichel were our two best players and that’s who people complain about?

How about the incredibly poor defense of our two 5 mil defenders that can’t play smart hockey to save their lives

Didn't we give up a 4th for watkins too?

So he was basically the value of a 4th rounder:

And we gave up (2) 1st rounders

For the Rams 2nd in 2018

Yeah we threw in a 4th to move up to the 4th too. Not the greatest trade but we didn't trade two first round picks when we got a better one back, meaning we only lost one 1st round pick. It's lazy to say we traded two first-round picks, which insinuates paid that in currency when we actually got higher currency back in the form of a better 1st round pick.

Seriously watch the tying short handed goal again. It’s hilarious.

Risto tries to hit someone coming into the zone, falls.

Bogo gets the puck behind the net, falls.

S A B R E. C A N C E R.....plain and simple.
Good teams find a way to win, period.
Franson leaves, is ostracized in the process and is in an Elite teams top 4. Buffalo makes great players average, till they leave, then they revert back to being great. It's pretty Danm easy and clear to see. One can cite numerous examples of this happening......have to REALLY think the organization is jinxed.

this is what im getting at though. I get the D only has one goal, but my god none of them can really play defense.

Goals will come when there are at least 3 competent defensive guys there so Housley doesnt have to use the 5 man collapse

It got worse as the game went on. He went from being a force, especially driving into the offensive zone, to sitting back and worrying about what he had to do defensively. Me thinks it has something to do with a coaching instruction.

and i'm NOT saying this is all on House.
