Buffalo Bills News and Discussion

Rex Ryan says he has no idea what Buffalo Bills’ Sean McDermott is doing

‘”I think I can speak for the entire Buffalo Bills community, every fan regrets that dang decision that you made as a head coach,” Ryan said. “You might not regret that decision but everybody else does and understands it. Huge mistake. I don’t know what the hell you’re doing.”‘

Bills abandoned Taylor in second half, don’t commit to him past next week either

‘Buffalo held a 13-3 lead at half. To that point, Taylor was 15-for-24 with 121 yards. Not take-your-breath-away numbers, but not bad. At that same point, running back LeSean McCoy had 13 carries for 36 yards. Not good. And that’s where Buffalo opted to go in the second half, the ground game. McCoy only had 13 yards rushing on nine more carries while Taylor only attempted five more passes.’

5 takeaways from the Bills win over the Chiefs

‘Tyrod’s return: Tyrod Taylor returned to his home as the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and he had a strong first half to the game and was semi-abandoned in the second half. In the first half, Taylor went 15-for-24 with 121 yards and a touchdown pass to Zay Jones. Decent showing. In the second half, Buffalo only attempted five passes, sticking to the run game. Taylor finished 19-for-29, 183 yards, and a touchdown. Most importantly, he nabbed the W.’

Report card: Bills top Chiefs 16-10

‘Tyrod Taylor played from start to finish and was very Tyrod-like. Not spectacular, but not bad, either. Taylor steadied the ship for the offense, but left a little to be desired. Taylor’s leg helped him while his inaccurate arm hurt him. He tossed 183 yards with a touchdown.’

Bills upset fast-fading Chiefs

‘Three of the previous four times the Bills had a winning record after 11 games during their league-longest playoff drought of 17 years (in 2000, 2008 and 2016) they lost four of their last five games to convince no one they were playoff worthy in the first place. The other time, in 2014, the Bills won three of their last five but finished 9-7, which that season wasn’t good enough to qualify for the post-season either.’

Sean McDermott gets sweet win as Bills hold off Chiefs

‘He spent more than 10 seasons working under Kansas City coach Andy Reid in Philadelphia, rising from a lowly administrative assistant to defensive coordinator. McDermott said he learned a lot from Reid “on and off the field,” though his mentor probably wishes he picked up a little bit less.’

Chiefs searching for answers, while Bills are back in thick of AFC playoff race

‘I’ve said it before and I will say it again – you can do a helluva lot worse than Taylor in this league, he can win with a little around him and be a winning quarterback. He’s clearly not Buffalo’s QB of the future, and I still expect him to be dealt in the offseason … but he just might sneak the into the playoffs before then.’

Tyrod Taylor Continues to Deliver for a Franchise That Lacks Confidence in Him

‘Surely, though, Taylor will not be the Bills’ starter in 2018. He has a cap number of $18 million that Buffalo likely won’t want to pay, even though that’s the going price for a quarterback that can win you games. And when you consider Taylor’s career numbers are right in line with that sort of pay—63% completion rate, 7.2 yards per attempt, only 17 career interceptions and a 20–18 record as a starter—Buffalo’s continued disinterest in its starter remains baffling.’
