    OK, so what happened to Watkins today?

    New England's passing D isn't so great that such a player with such special skills should have been outplayed by Hogan, Woods, and Chandler.

    Couldn't be because Revis was on him most of the game, could it now.

    I guess his skills really don't translate to this level like everyone thought, just one more game highlighting that. Once again, not sure he's even the best of this draft crop. He definitely wasn't worth the picks.

    117 yards (Miami)
    87
    31
    30
    27
    19 yard games.

    Two impressive games, one against Miami. Four nothing games so far.

    This was the player that Whaley said would propel us to the playoffs and about the only significant change from last season's offense to this one.

    He's heading for right about 800 yards, which given his draft status would be woefully inadequate.

    You conveniently skipped a week bringing up Watkins. He was up against best corner in nfl. Same thing happened to AJ Green week before. Everyone knows that, it's quite simple actually.

      Watkins was open many times. Orton either didn't look his way or threw a bad pass.

        Revis is the best corner in the NFL?

        I don't think so, not anymore.

        What about the other games that he got 30, 31, and 19 yards. What then?

            He has been the best corner the past 2 weeks.

                Re: OK, so what happened to Watkins today?

                Woefully inadequate? 800 yards is better than Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald in their rookie seasons. Would you say that their skills don't translate to this level?

                Look, if you're trying to say it was bad to trade next years 1st pick you're probably preaching to the choir and we've all heard about it hundreds of times. But anyone that watches football knows that rookie WR's - even the best of the best - do not light it up in their rookie year.

                  Happens to the best of them, especially a rookie. If he has a 130 yard game next week, he'd be on pace to have a good rookie season. There shouldn't be a thread about this.

                    Considering the QB'ing so far, he's doing about as well as can be expected.

                      OK, so what happened to Fletch last week?

                      What a complete douchebag.

                      What a win for our old pal Fletch this week. He's got some douchebag ammunition again, at least in his douche mind.

                        What happened when Terry Pegula bought the Buffalo Bills? Your dreams were crushed and now you're going to keep ****ting on anything to do with the Bills. Go for a swim in Niagara Falls.

                          Watkins was supposed to be special. Sorry, not seeing it. He's good, but Whaley made a huge error in judgement. HUGE!

                              Revis completely shut down AJ Green last week, too. The guy still has it. Sammy has been fine.
