Watkins 89 yards from 1,000

[Buffalogic]

Not too bad considering he missed 3 games and Tyrod refused to throw to him in the first half of the season. Next year he needs to be a focal point. We need to throw WR screens to this guy. He's fast and our WR's are good at blocking. It's a no brainer, but we never see it happen. I don't get it.

Unless the Bills are consistently winning as a team Watkins individual statistics are meaningless.

He needs a qb who can get him the ball and a 2nd receiver on the other side to help him out.
Woods and Hogan are 4 or 5 guys and not good enough.

As long as we have numbers like this to put out there for season ticket and merchandise sales, the season was a success.

After all, that's clearly the only real mission of this franchise.

It's all about the spin.

Pay no attention to those other teams and their late January games.

i dont understand why they never toss him a WR screen, short slant, 5-10 year ins.... they don't put him in a possession to make YAC

Very true. Most YAC comes from throws in the middle of the field; a place where Tyrod basically refuses to attack. Not sure if that's route/concept design from Roman, but it's glaring.

Also, the guy has 3 carries in two years. That's almost unfathomable to me.

Its even more inexplicable when you consider he did that A LOT in college.

Anyway. One small useless bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season as per usual.

Taylor needs to improve his grasp and awareness of the game to get Sammy more involved than the two plays they click on the best (launch a prayer down the sideline and scramble around until Watkins finds a soft spot). There was a specific play in yesterday's game on 3rd and 2 where the dback was 8 yards off of Sammy...I forget where the ball went, but it wasn't to Watkins. Tyrod needs to recognize that and get the ball to him quickly.

Sammy has 2000+ yards in his first two seasons

Re: Watkins 89 yards from 1,000

This was on Revis' Wiki page during the game (my son showed it to me) but probably wasn't up long (except it looks like only part of it was edited back out)...

His spot on the field is nicknamed "Revis Island"(an island recently purchased and owned by Sammy Watkins)^[1] for his ability to shut down the opposing number one receivers. He is considered by most to be one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

Too funny. And they threw him slants today of a wonder. Why they waited to use slants until the last game I'll never know.

Congrats to Sammy. Really turned it on the 2nd half of the season, once healthy. So happy we have him.

Re: Watkins 89 yards from 1,000

I wonder if anyone ever had that many catches in 1 game against Revis?

Re: Watkins 89 yards from 1,000

He's ranked 18th in yards. So we gave up two first rounders to get an average wideout.
