Sammy Watkins sounds like he [might] play.

Dude, get your ass out there.

Disappointing- kinda surprised, I believe he has a bonus on the line

If he's testing pre game at least he still has a chance. If he didn't have a chance he would have been ruled out along with Bell.

what a ****ing surprise

What will we do without his two catches ?

Is it a play at least half the games bonus, or a don’t be a soft bitch bonus?

Told pugs this earlier yesterday but was called a dumb ****ing moron. Looks like Pugs you’re the dumb idiot here

Shocked. Lazy ass.

The invisible man

Hes been out best WR in the playoffs the last two years actually.

My son Mecole Hardman is sure fire to step it up. I think he is going have a great game.

shocking.

Welp.


MOAR PRINGLE

Sammy 'Made Of Glass' Watkins

No matter what, do not bring Watkins back next season. I appreciate what he did in the past - especially in the playoffs, but if he cant answer the bell, in the only area that he shines, he loses all usefulness. If "Playoff Sammy" can't play, then he needs to go.

:facepalm: Get your butt out they're Sammy, we need all hands on deck.

Yes. But if he cant go in the playoffs, then he needs to be permanently gone.

GO CEH!!!

Bell flat out sucks. Sammy only does cuz he's not available much of the time.

"Wheelchair Watkins" does it again.

Sammy is broken. They should cut him today. How worthless was bringing him back. Terrible waste of m of money.

CEH is one tough MF’r.

Bring it home, Clyde!

I hope he can go. He makes our receiving corps nearly unstoppable.

That said, if he doesn't have the juice, is rather have the other guys out there. We need explosive playmakers and crisp routes to draw Hill and Kelce free.

How many snaps constitutes playing in the game?

Considering bringing him back only cost $2M more than outright cutting him would have brought him back, still a calculated move I agree with.

Somehow I missed it, what is wrong with Bell? I know he was not in the game but a few plays last week. Obviously he must have been injurred?

Bell's knee swelled up on him in practice Wed.

Hammy Twatkins at it again.

LMAO

It doesn’t matter what happens with Vagkins, you will always hold that reputation here.

True, but the Chiefs can easily match his receiving yards. What they cant match is is downfield blocking. He's easily the best blocking WR on the team.

He hasn’t been ruled out, game time decision.

Strategy play by Reid. Keep Bills guessing.

Exactly. One would think that he would have a little "dawg" in him to "make the Bills pay" for letting him go - whether manufactured or not. Unfortunately the only "dawg" Sammy has in him is wienie dog...

Imagine this offense with Allen Robinson next year instead.

Tyreek, Robinson, Hardman and Kelce.

Mahomes would throw 60 TDs.

**** him if he doesn't play. He has been out for 4 weeks wtf dude.

Dude just needs to retire if he physically can’t get up for a game like this and everything it should mean to him.

His body or mind or both clearly isn’t cut out for this shit. Just pisses me off so much, cause we need him. Hopefully this doesn’t cost us big time.

Gee, what a shock!!

If the weather & field goes bad. They could lose him for sure for a possible SB

Yep. I think his mindset is that in the past he had that foot injury, and he tried to play through it, and he ended up making it worse. In his mind he may feel that it cost him certain things. So now he's not willing to go, at anything less than 100%.

Sammy was such a disappointment for Buffalo too. He came out on fire then got hurt and that was it.... spent more time on bench than on field. And still having foot issues. He may be done, actually. Man is peanut brittle! Sad to see cause I liked him a lot when he was a Bill. But I’d be shocked if he wasn’t out there tonight. Even just as a decoy for mahomies.

And missed multiple weeks before that also during the season... Feels like he only played in like 8 or 9games this year, but I could be wrong. Im sure there are games where he played a few snaps and will get credit for playing a game. 1st Raider game comes to mind. - maybe the Bills and Falcons also

Sammy is what Slyvester Morris could have been

If he isn't out there today he better not ever wear a Chiefs jersey again. That includes the SB in two weeks. Give the snaps to Hardman and Pringle.

He’s going to command at least $15m per year probably so there’s really no way he will be in Kansas City. Hopefully we can find another guy, draft or FA, who can take that role and exceed expectations.

This dude needs to be moved from salaried to hourly.

I’ve got this feeling that he is going to play... Or I’ve got to take a shit.. not sure which...

Look, I'm sure he wants to play. But, if I were him, I'd play until I couldn't. If he's legit injured, there's nothing he can do. If he's 75%, I can't believe he wouldn't want to play. Huge game against his old team.

Regardless, I personally don't think we need him. He's a luxury. One we can afford to lose.

If he’s that iffy he probably ought to sit. More than once in the past he’s decided to “give it a go,” is activated, plays a handful of snaps and then shuts it down. That doesn’t do anybody any good.

The Jaguar of wide receivers.

Darn, darn, darny, DARN!

This is probably the truth.

Fully healthy Hardman/Robinson/Pringle are more trustworthy than whatever Watkins is apparently at.

Sammy will be losing a big payday if he doesn't play.

And the honor of earning a second SB ring.

A month and he's not healed up? I don't buy it.

No worries. He will ball out in the super bowl.

He’s a ****ing bum who maybe doesn’t care about rehabbing himself. He has a calf injury? Of what sort? Dude has been out for how long now?

LMAOLMAO

:LOL:

That would be a great strategy for a team that doesn't have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

He's played in 60% of regular season and was 100% post until this year

He doesn’t love the game and only cares about money. Get rid of him after the Super Bowl.

Did he tear his calf muscle in half? Blow his Achilles? Break a bone?

Break a fingernail?

If he cared about money...he'd be playing today.

This kinda feels like a EB29 injury. WTF is going on here? Spirit issues?

I don't really think it's a money thing, he's a super weird guy.

Uhhh. Shut the **** up Harold. That’s not information you should be spewing nonchalantly.

Just looking around the league and what other guys are playing through for the playoffs and this blumpkin can't be bothered with a calf injury. At this point clean out his locker and tell him to **** off.

Yep. I think his mindset is that in the past he had that foot injury, and he tried to play through it, and he ended up making it worse. In his mind he may feel that it cost him certain things. So now he's not willing to play at anything less than 100%.

Thinks, or at least thought, he was a reptile person. All that really needs said.

The weird thing about his time in KC...none of his injuries have come from a hit.

Maybe his body isn't designed for the physical stress of being a pro WR...some people are just like that.

Unless he was TOLD to put it out there

https://media1.tenor.com/images/f877...itemid=7551177

I didn't want to say it, but yeah.

Well he sure as hell isn't our best WR in this year's playoffs.

I've torn my calf and kept re-injuring it. If you can't go, you can't go.


Blaming it on Sammy not "loving the game enough" is the dumbest TrueFan bullshit I've seen in a while. Grow up

brokedick

If he's hurt, he's hurt. Chiefs can overcome it, just don't be a detriment.

love seeing the fatsos on twitter typing that Sammy is just being a wuss with their cheeto-dust covered fingers.

claiming he only cares about money and is sitting out as some sort of a business decision is even stupider, like he couldn't make a lot more for himself by getting out and contributing in a key game.

REALLY wanting to believe you here, but somethings telling me not to get my hopes up :grr:

Shit. This guy is always worth 2-3 big catches a game when he's on the field. Those could really count today. His blocking is top notch too.
