QB Bills

I don't think they should bench either of them, to be honest. You need to play your best players. Just saying that if one of them had to be, it should be Gilmore. The real problem in the secondary is the atrocious play of the safeties. They are constantly out of position. Not sure if that's a coaching issue to go along with the lack of talent back there, but I'm sure that's part of it. Darby is a gamer. He's not been nearly as lost as Gilmore out there. I can envision a scenario where player-friendly Rex sees this but would rather let Gilmore play so he can get his big contract, team be damned.

How is Darby being benched before Gilmore? They've both given up big plays (still think Gilmore has given up more) but you still see the hustle and compete from Darby. If this is true, which I don't think it is, Rex is an even bigger idiot than I thought.

Team dominating the patriots was dominated by us last week. In a losing cause. I hate football.

Not necessarily a bad thing that Denver or kc won. Sucks that they both did. We need one of them to win the division, not Oakland. We only play the raiders and winning that game gives us an edge that we wouldn't have over the other two teams. Just have to hope the Bills get hot and everything comes together. We're almost surely not going to the postseason but the Monday nighter gave me the slightest bit of hope that maybe the team is finally gelling. If this team had any decent safeties on the roster, we would have won at least two more games if not more. That has been the difference, in my opinion.

Not much you can do when you have Robert Blanton starting. The guy is just plain awful. Weakest starter on the team. Worse than Mills.

He's not conventional. That's why people have trouble seeing him as a potential franchise QB. But that's just small-minded thinking. If used correctly, with some outside-the-box playcalling, he can surely be a franchise QB, albeit a unique one. I know he was in the league for four years before he got here, but this really is just his second year playing. His cap hit is very manageable the next two seasons. I think the Bills would be insane not to keep him.

Right. And did you watch the game? What was Taylor supposed to do? Groy is awful. Mills was a turnstile. And there were some egregious calls that were ignored. It's just as stupid to blame the QB every time you lose a game as it is to heap praise on him anytime you win. It's a team game and Taylor did his part and thensome last night.

I freaked out seeing that at first too, but apparently that's a legal play if the QB is out of the pocket. Which Tyrod was. Having said that, this ref crew was awful.

I'm more upset that he came back.

Aaaand it's a touchdown! Touchdown mccoy! Touchdown buffalo! It's not over yet folks...the bills cut the lead to 45-6 with more than half the 4th quarter to go....and now a word from our sponsor cellino and barnes

The bills on a Monday night. What could go wrong?

No Shady, per schefter Not to worry, we're gonna win 4-0 Two safeties for dareus and all is forgiven

So if my math is correct, we now have zero safeties who don't suck. And yes, I include Corey Graham in that group. Even though he sucks just a bit less than the other jobbers. Would be nice if they re-signed baccari rambo. What's that you say? He signed with someone? When? This week? Damn. Bad luck. With who? Don't say Miami...don't say Miami... Just wonderful...

I suggest you re-watch that last drive against the Panthers. His completions were dumpoffs (mostly to Freddie, one of which he had to purposely drop to stop the clock) and the blown coverage lob to Stevie who was wide open, but would never have been successful if he was covered. He also threw an unnecessary bullet at CJ who was less than ten yards in front of him that bounced right off him and should have been picked. He had a decent scramble on the penultimate play of that drive. Other than that, he sucked. And has always sucked. And likely always will. Fred Jackson won that game for the Bills, not EJ.

Huh? What did he say wrong? Kraft is the douche in this story.

You might be right, but everyone figured they'd get crushed against the Cardinals too.

Who is better than Duke Williams. And Jonathan Meeks. And Robert Blanton. We have a dire need at the safety position. Should not have let him go in the first place. But even then, we should have brought him back ages ago.

Real interesting dude. That line at the end...brilliant

I think you're missing the point. The OP's question is whether Taylor is a clutch QB. Not whether he should have had to have been one today.

My theory on his ineffectiveness is that it is due to the fact that he sucks

He is the one who injured Jimmy G. Closed on him so rapidly on that play. Tyrod's obviously much more fleet, but he better be careful. Kiko looks like he's regained some of that quickness.

Perfectly stated.

I think you're moving away from the point. It isn't that there hasn't been worse said out there. I've seen a lot worse said to and about minorities at a Bills game. Point is that this guy who is from a reputable enough news outlet made the whole thing up. He should have been harshly disciplined, if not fired on the spot. But Peter King is a spineless weasel. edit: yes, the above bolded part was the reasoning

Never mind that, the game was tied 0-0 for a bit at the beginning. Wake up, Bills.

Not sure if this has been posted here, but this hack Klemko was in Buffalo for the game on Sunday and reported hearing someone say "tackle the muslim" before a girl tackled a kaepernick dummy during the tailgating festivities. Problem for him is that there was video and nothing of the sort was said. And he has since deleted some tweets but is still sticking by his story, making this girl (and Bills fans by extension) look bad. And that fat walrus Peter King is sticking by his guy, regardless of the truth (https://twitter.com/SI_PeterKing/status/788196308855189504) The girl wrote an open letter to Klemko and it's worth the read. https://medium.com/@alexisdent/an-open-letter-to-robert-klemko-and-the-mmqb-team-bffff845a1a6#.blwxijvb3
