Samm Watkins needs to be targets a LOT more than he is

Watkins' response should be to check out DeAndre Hopkins, arguably the best receiver in football this year and arguably a player that is not as talented as Watkins.

Here are Hopkins' target numbers through 10 games: 13, 11, 14, 22, 14, 15, 12, 11, 11, 12. He has five 100-plus yard games and three 140-plus yard games.

Here are the quarterbacks that have been throwing passes in his direction this season: Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett and T.J. Yates.

Tyrod Taylor is better than these quarterbacks. Rex Ryan keeps saying not to downplay the ability of his quarterback and we aren't. He completes almost 70 percent of his passes. He throws way more touchdowns than he does interceptions. Quarterbacks coach David Lee and offensive coordinator Greg Roman should take a bow there. It was a fine example of advanced pro scouting and a great example of how a coach can marry scheme and ability.

It's a joke how Taylor refuses to throw him the ball. Completely absurd.

It's not always Taylor's fault, but he needs to shoulder some of the blame. There were a couple of times when you could tell he wanted to hit Sammy deep but someone on the line missed an assignment and it blew up. Roman needs to get Taylor out of the pocket so he can scan the field.

It seems to me that Sammy only gets the ball on deep shots. They need to get him the ball underneath on quick routes and other things to really use him. He needs to get with Tyrod and figure out how to get the ball. Chris Hogan shouldn't get the majority of our targets

Sammy needs EJ.

Two of the Bills' best play makers are absent because of stinky Tyrod. Watkins and Clay need to be thrown to. This one read **** needs to stop. As does sitting in the pocket for five seconds with his thumb up his ass.

Anyone else notice these guys don't go on the bench and talk with one another. I see quarterbacks from other teams going over to their guys and conversing about what may have what went wrong or what to do next time. Tyrod just sits on the bench while Romans rubs his back.

Prior to the NE game, he ignored Robert Woods more. I don't get it. Hope things change today.

The Bills playoffs hopes sure as **** doesn't

LOL...That Costanza clip is the s***.

Where are the slants and screens? Drag plays etc that rely on yac? I'm guessing it's a combination of o linemen not having the ability to be mobile blockers, defense creeping the lone of scrimmage which clogs these short routes, Taylor's inability to see the middle of field, and Mace's too many cooks in the kitchen theory of Lal and Roman splitting offense play calling.

It's almost as if the pass game is an after thought similar to some college offenses. Coupled with limitations at o line and quarterback.

TT 70% passing pct is misleading because 88% of his pass's are 10 yards or less. the guy just doesn't have the accuracy to have what it takes to get the ball to Sammy. guys don't have to have a 5 yard separation in order for a qb to throw the ball. all true NFL franchise guys throw the ball with little separation.
