Nailed it.I hope Taylor can continue to improve. I am not really sure of what the scheme was today. I do know that going for 20+ yard passes constantly on 3rd downs with 5 or less yards is frustrating. The final pass was a 3rd and 8. You have two attempts to get 8 yards. Middle of the field is open, Taylor goes to what he feels comfortable doing, deep ball. His touch was off since the Watkins bomb in the first quarter. Sad .

I was all for the Rex hire. Unfortunately Rex handles himself more like a fan and less like a coach on the sidelines.

It feels like he isn't the same guy. His play this year is similar to his last one in Houston. Not sure what the problem is but his stubbornness to learn a new system is becoming a trend.

First thing that popped in my head, doesn't a 'slow track' hurt the fast paced Eagles O? If both teams are playing on the same field it is hard to complain about it being unfair. Shady can be good for stuff like this, giving training staff a heads up on cleat selection.

Maybe Roman has been throwing the deep ball to Watkins to loosen them up. Now with the final quarter of the season left we get the full arsenal of what Watkins can do. The Bills need a big day from Sammy and the wide outs.

I am to familiar with watching an ex Bill make a key play during a game. Here's to Kiki making 10 tackles today, none before 5 yards down field. And none being a game saver.

NO would trade him for a bag of balls at this point. I worry about Rambos cover ability. Solid hitter, but good QB's can take advantage of his overly aggressive play.

And we know who is better right? J/K Anyone who has played O line or understands the game knows that those 5 guys play as one. Sometimes scheme changes to compensate for one parts weakness. I am not saying Miller is that much better than Urbik today, I am saying Miller has a much higher ceiling. The only way to have Miller reach his full potential is with pt. so if the docs say he is healthy and Miller thinks he can go, he plays.

The only thing Vick and TT have in common is being black QB's in the NFL. You never really watched Vick his first few years. TT is a much better passer than Vick ever was.TT is a better Jeff Garcia in his best couple seasons. Let's hope TT progress way beyond that !

I like how you are feeling. I felt this way watching the Bills/Tenn wildcard game. I thought those two teams were the best in the AFC and whoever won that one would go on to face St Louis.

Everyone including myself has been saying this. Any yet Roman does not do it. I have to wonder why? I think Roman knows more about football than i do, and thus he knows you have to get the ball in the hands of your best players. Is injury a concern for Watkins? Could this be why there is a lack of screens or plays that would allow Watkins takes more direct contact hits? It seems Watkins can catch most anything, he does have a few bobbles, but he also has the ability to snatch the ball right out of the air. My only other thought is has Roman ever had a receiver like Watkins before? A true #1 receiver, who needs 7-12 targets a game because he can flip the field. Roman has been up and down this year and i want to think a lot of it has to do with learning his players. He does know as do we all that Watkins and TT can connect deep.

As I looked at that I thought ' the Bills can beat any of those teams'. Been a long time since I felt that way.

As what?

Exactly. I do not buy him and i am waiting for his atrocious game of the year. i have been saying it is coming. Now as a Bills fan i am sad to say i know i am right.

I saw that one too. This was Mulligan. I think it was a run play.

awesome info. Did Mulligan get destroyed on a run play? I swear i remember him trying to block maybe Watt or Clowney 1 on 1 and he got abused. Poor scheme, but Mulligan needed to do a little bit better.

how can you not have Carpenter on the list for his play this year? His missing of the extra point in KC might be a major factor in why the Bills could miss the playoffs. IF Carpenter was a DB who got burnt as many times as he has missed extra points, you would all have him on your list. He needs to go. He can get a job as a Kid Rock impersonator.

I think and hope you are joking. Get to the playoffs if nothing else to remove the curse of the past 15 seasons, and take a step towards the ultimate goal of winning a SB.

Freddie was a good back and a better team mate and person. He is not in the same class talent wise. Did you see last week just before the half where McCoy stayed in bounds and took a hit to keep the clock going? Almost every back allows themselves to get taken out of bounds there. Talent and brains and i think he is warming to playing in Buffalo.

i agree about the regular season. They have to play Atlanta twice, that's two easy wins. What do you see in Seattle this year?

I remember some posts in here saying the same thing about Felton. I agreed. This past week Felton appeared to make much more of an impact. They seem to like using him on that sweep play as an extra pulling Olineman. McCoy is by far the best RB we have seen since Thurman. McCoy gets 9 yards when most backs would get stopped at the line or maybe a few yards. If McCoy stays healthy i like the Bills shot at the playoffs.

anyone besides us on this board? HA i think we saw a few differences in opinion between Rex and Whaley. From an outsides perspective it appeared as if Whaley attempted to flex his muscle once or twice with the EJ vs Cassel situation. Interesting to see if there is any fall out over this or any other moves.

What about a Foles type deal- 2 years $27 mil, with $20 mil guaranteed? This gives the Bills 3 years to see what they have and make sure Taylor can maintain at a high level. Meanwhile it gives Taylor's side the guarantee and also the chance to sign the BIG contract still. Thoughts?

i did not watch all 22 or the game again but i did see Mulligan get abused once and it caused the Bills to lose a big chunk of yards.

The thing about Taylor is he is showing progression. The pass to Clay over the middle was amazing. It showed he could make a throw over the middle and also he led Clay. I am not saying for sure 100% TT is the solution to the Bills long QB issue. I think this is more about me not TT. Every QB has bad stretches. I think TT is showing he can be pretty good to great if given time and a decent scheme.
