    For the "Know-it-alls"... AKA Sammy's Play Off

    So you think you know... So you think your eyes see it all... http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bill...-took-play-off
    Part of the setback falls on Watkins' shoulders. On a second-and-7 play on the Bills' final drive of the game, Manuel delivered an accurate pass to where Watkins should have been, but the rookie receiver clearly let up on his route as he faced oncoming defenders from the secondary.

    To his credit, Watkins owned up to it.

    "That was on me. I didn't finish the play," he said. "That was supposed to be a caught ball. I didn't help the team out on that play."
    I'm 100% certain this will be twisted and spun... But sometimes... SOMETIMES... You only fool yourself.

    EJ SUCKS. You are in denial. Good news though. Denial is curable.

      I'm not really worried about Watkins and hope he doesn't end up Goodwinned. If Goodwin had simply dove into the turf I wouldn't have held it against Goodwin either. You want competitive fierce sure, but I don't want to see Kevin Everett ever happen again with anyone on a bad pass they can't be sure is a good pass.

            Ok that was one pass on the final drive. Explain the rest of EJ's pitiful performance.

                I don't think anybody is trying to defend EJ's performance OP. It was bad. Simply a point to the morons who blame everything on him.

                  No, I'm defending his performance, he ate overly spiced curry, sun was in his eyes, ingrown toenail and spilled gatorade in the plastic of his forearm play list. Yeesh, I cannot give anyone the benefit of my dubious inside knowledge if they don't read my posts.

                      I give everyone my best material here for free, so it's nice to be appreciated. I'm really bang for your buck and best use of the entertainment dollar you don't need to spend so it's good you can see my unerring sense of sense, which sometimes I don't even understand though it may seem hard to believe.

                        Apologist. You are the only one that fools yourself. You can't boil down any QBs success or failure based on a single pass. Manuel's body of work is not good. Has he made a decent pass here & there? Sure. But not nearly enough.

                          I'm one of the biggest EJ advocates and this game was painfully obvious that EJ was having issues. There may have been other things that other players did that contributed to the loss but EJ takes the majority of the blame in the passing game in this one.

                            There was another where he clearly quit in the route with the ball delievered well. slanting across the middle. Protecting the tender ribs ? He wasn't going to get lit up.

                            Throw in the Woods play where he doesn't turn around for what looked like an easy 6 and it was quite a maddening day. Manuel had a bad day and then 3 passes he throws well, the WR's make a bad play. Frustrating.
                            Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

                              All jokes aside, maybe he stayed up late the night before partying and watching FSU beat Clemson in that overtime thriller. I did, and I was up (drunk) at about 12am.
