Legend of AC 269 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 29 minutes ago, FANATIC said: Sammy Watkins (foot) remained sidelined at Wednesday's practice. It's not a good sign with the Chiefs coming out of their bye week. But maybe Kansas City is just playing it safe with their highest-paid wideout in hopes of having him completely healthy for a playoff run. The offense hasn't needed him to keep putting points on the board. If Watkins plays, he'll be a WR3 against Oakland. Source: Nate Taylor on Twitter Sammy gonna Sammy.

jetlord 10,209 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Isn't Sammy getting paid more than Berry? Not sure what that has to do with anything beyond the fact that the Chiefs have had a lot of cap space parked on the bench this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 51 with Watkins sidelined. Chiefs have depth at WR. Why risk a bigger injury against an inferior opponent? Conley is a good 3rd receiver. Injuries are very very likely in the course of an NFL Season. . I dont put it on the player. Gronk misses time too.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 We aren't as good without Sammy and foot injuries are tricky so I'd give him all the rest he needs although with 4 games in two days against teams now in the playoffs coming up it would be nice to have him. But the overall goal is to be as healthy as possible in January and I'd plan accordingly with something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens won big tie breaker games against Denver and Tenn. Both have cakewalk schedules though. Colts are a definite threat and the only one of the four with a high level QB but their schedule is tough. It’s really Ravens to lose which they’ve certainly proven themselves capable of though.

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 The Ravens have 2 difficult games coming up against the Chiefs and the Chargers. Don't think they win either of those games and will have to hope 9-7 is good enough to get in....wasn't last season. The Broncos floor is 8-8 IMO and they have a real shot at 10-6. Vance Joseph might do the impossible and win another year. Dolphins, Bengals, Titans and Browns are all irrelevant in the race. Chargers will hang onto one of the two spots and the last spot will be a 3 way race between the Ravens, Colts and Broncos. If the Broncos continue to rely on their excellent rushing attack, play good D and keep the ball out of Keenum's hand...I think they have a real chance. The Colts are dangerous if they continue to play without getting Luck touched at all. The Ravens are pretty stingy on Defense, but they seem totally unsure how to use Lamar Jackson and they are hoping to rely on a not 100% Joe Flacco. I don't think it's a good recipe.

Seems like they are ascending along with Houston and l actually think Cleveland as the potential new power teams along with the Chiefs in the AFC.

Crazy to thing that Browns will be a power team but that seems to be the way things are set up right now. Very young and talented team with a whole bunch of high draft picks and cap space to play with. I don't think any GM in my lifetime has gotten as good of a situation as Dorsey in Cleveland. Colts are always one injury away from sucking so I think it's too early to contemplate their playoff spot. Wouldn't be surprised to see both the Broncos and the Chargers getting the wild cards.

Hexes are only excuses for not being good enough. In nearly every one of our playoff losses we had one common theme. The other team had the better QB. We’ve finally got a stake in the game with the elite teams. It’s just a matter of time before we silence the haters, break the hexes and start competing in earnest for the Lombardi.

Donkeys and Titans have cake schedules but are essentially two games behind the Ravens with only 5 to play. That’s tough sledding but not impossible.

Calichief 3,016 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 As for the topic of this thread... chiefs don’t need Sammy Watkins. maybe in the playoffs. mahomes makes everyone better as do the greats. teams won’t have respect for Conley and Robinson and that will hurt. let sammy nurse his toenails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIChiefsFan 262 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Berry should have been in quarantine instead of on the sidelines while he was injured. Everyone knows the Haglund's is contagious and now Watkins has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a much different receiver than the rest, as he’s going to play through contact and not avoid hits. Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s smart to avoid hits, but cheetah’s constantly running out of bounds to avoid contact drives me nuts. It’s not that I think he’s leaving yards on the field because I know he’s not, it’s just the old school in me. Football is a physical game. I want to see our guys be tough and grind out that extra half yard , not because of that stat sheet but because of the mental advantage you get over a defense when you hit them in the mouth. We have a bunch of finesse receivers and a tight end whom I don’t feel is 100% reliable, so we need the physical aspect of what Watkins brings to the table.

Montana’s injury. Lin Elliot. Big blown leads. I know having a legit qb can cure most if not all of those ills, but it’s hard as a chiefs fan not to think that somewhere in the shadows there’s a devil with a pitchfork poking us and giggling.

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yeah we def need Watkins if we want to make a deep run this year. It’s having a 3rd elite level we that makes it impossible for defenses. I’m ok with him missing a few games now to be back for the playoffs healthy.

wilkie 1,518 Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Need him to come back soon. He is a big difference in this year and last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 No need to rush him back. Hopefully he returns 100% soon but the key should be the "100%" not the return part. Need him healthy for the playoffs and the foot injuries are too tricky to take any risks beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lamar wins in Atlanta this weekend, you can count on him starting in KC. Ball control, RPO's and run it down your throat type of offense: Best defense for Ryan, Mahomes and Rivers is to keep them off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
