    We'll see.  I don't believe there would be nearly as much criticism of Dennison if he had even an average QB to work with.  Hard to tell because Taylor was just so inept. 

    yep.   hard to tell.   

     

    OMG don't change the damn offensive scheme AGAIN.  I want to win sometime before I die.    get better f ing players , starting with the QB

    Fact:TT led us to Jacksonville.  Agreed.

     

    Could someone else have, maybe, maybe not.  But, TT did lead us here.

     

    Sure, I will play the game and agree.

    not sure TT is much of an on-field leader , or off field for that matter.   He's pretty much a cog in the wheel more than anything else, especially this year where rico has kept him in the pocket.   NFL is so much a team sport where all kinds of areas (game plan, health of key players, running game sets up the pass, etc.)  need to do well to win.   TT calls the plays that come into his helmet, then most of the time the other 10 guys better execute or they will fail.   He's probably not the guy who will save the day.   For example, if Jax gets out to a 14 - 0 lead today, the game is essentially over.  TT's a good player, but he can't bring a team back.. he simply doesn't have the skill set, moxie and creativity to do it.  

  3. seems like there is a board beneath the board here.   well, whatever.   

     

    Dennison's gonna stick to the script me thinks.    The read option largely died with Greg Roman's departure and Rico's arrival.    I think TT will let it all hang out when plays break down, but designed runs for him will be the red zone QB draw stuff we saw vs. Phins in the Ralph last month and a few read options, but thats about it.   they'll be fine.   go compete.  go bills.

    Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, going to be a lot of pressure on McD/Beane to have a good offseason and keep the momentum running full steam ahead.

     

    And even though it's very realistic this team could take a step backwards this year like the Dolphins, expectations will be sky high in Buffalo heading into the 2018 season.

    why?   Fins went backwards bc Tannehill went down.  No NFL team can recover from their starting QB going down for the season unless they get extremely lucky with the replacements (see Case Keenum) and have a top 5 defense.   Watch Philly go one and done.   Look how AZ went in the potty.   "Taking a step backwards" is a bunch of garbage once you do the detail and see how many key players went on IR for the team "taking a step backwards".   Turnovers lose games.   Key injuries lose seasons.

    Mason Rudolph is a senior, he has been a 3 year starter, he has improved year on year, has been a team captain in 2016 and 2017 and he plays from the pocket in the way Beane has described.  Maybe Beane and Gaines were at the Camping Bowl by coincidence...... but I think the white smoke at this stage suggests that Mason Rudolph is very much in play for the Bills in April.

    love it.  great post.  but his arm is weak and he plays in an Air Raid system.    those guys don't make it in the pros.  Keep the picks, go get a veteran like Cousins.  Pay for a guy you know can play.

    It won't happen, John.

     

    Not that Tyrod won't play well. He might. He does sometimes. But not consistently. Not the way a team that expects to compete for Lombardis needs.

     

    They know what Tyrod is. One good game won't change anything. It just won't. A season might have, but he's had three chances to do that. A season might have, but a game won't.

     

     

     

    Yup. Tyrod was the QB of this team, a team that made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.

     

    And Jordan Mills was the RT of this team, a team that made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.

     

    And Vlad Ducasse was the RG of this team, a team that made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.

     

    And Ramon Humber was ... I could go on, but the point should be clear.

     

    This may be a playoff team but it's not a very good team and starting on it in no way means they want to keep a guy and don't desperately need an upgrade.

     

     

    At QB, they want a guy who can play from the pocket. They gave Tyrod a chance to show he was that guy and we all saw the results.

    This is pretty much it.  Dennison is going to extreme lengths to produce a passing game with TT (eg.  3 runs to the left to set up a fake run left , roll TT back to the right to give him passing lanes to throw through); this cannot continue, NFL is a pocket passers league now and we need one of them.   TT is too short, too small to really succeed at QB in the NFL.

    In ending the drought with a 22-16 win that mirrored the 22-16 loss in Nashville in 1999, the dreaded Johnson/Flutie Homerun Throwback (forward pass) game---our last postseason appearance----the Bills removed the so-called Flutie Curse.

     

    Now we face a coach that quit on us, leading a team that beat us in our last home playoff game back in 1996. That second-year Jaguars team knocked Kelly out of the game with a concussion, to end his career, and put the last nail in the coffin of the Super Bowl era teams, with a 30-27 victory. Time to finish cleaning the slate.

    Pegs quit on him.   Get your history right.  

  8. Marrone pulled the plug bc Pegs wouldn't commit to him contractually .  Made all kinds of sense to me.   And he was right; Pegs was going to get his own guy, so Marrone did the right thing.   He saw owner transition coming and his agent allowed for it in his contract.  He played the bad situation (owner transition) very well.
