Wayne Arnold

They were defeated by then. Their pride splattered all over the field.

Anderson never played for the Bills. I can see why they don't want to move away from Taylor too quickly considering he's a captain and the players respect him.

So that means the defense doesn't have to account for him? They can just load 8-9 men in the box and dare him to pass?

Because they're facing Drew Brees and one of the best offenses in the NFL and they aren't that talented.

How do you expect him to answer that question? "Yeah, we agree that the way to beat Tyrod and shut down our offense is to make him play QB."

They either do it now or not until Week 14 vs. Colts when the Bills are 5-7 with only a glimmer of playoff hope. You don't want to give a rookie his first career start at Chiefs or vs. Brady-Belichick.

12/10 - Week 14 vs. Colts Book it.

The only system that fits our starting QB's skill set is Paul Johnson's Georgia Tech offense.

I was at that game. Edwards was better that day than Taylor was yesterday. No, that doesn't make less sense than telling the QB to not throw the ball to receivers.

This is such a cop out. No coach in his right mind is telling Taylor not to throw the ball to receivers when down multiple touchdowns. That's insanity.

What is an OC supposed to do when the quarterback won't throw the ball? There's no adjustment for that. Which makes it more difficult to throw the ball down the field and score a touchdown.

The offense didn't look bad. It was bad - which is a massive understatement. Taylor refused to throw the ball down field when those throws were desperately needed. He's a cowardly QB, which doesn't help the narrative that he's a running back who takes snaps from center.

Are you joking?

Peterman reads the field quickly and trusts what he sees. He trusts his arm and trusts his teammate to make the play. Things an NFL quarterback needs to be successful. Things that the current starting quarterback does not have. As a result, the current starting quarterback will never be successful in this league.

I can't imagine there ever being a worse criticism for an NFL quarterback than to hear an opposing defensive player after getting completely shut down tell the media after the game, "We made him a quarterback." It happened twice last season and now it's happened again. From Saints' star Defensive Lineman Cameron Jordan. "I knew that Tyrod Taylor would try and scramble and we pretty much eliminated that except we got a little hungry on some sacks and he spun out and did exactly what we knew he was going to do. We kept him in the pocket and made him a quarterback." http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/11/cameron_jordan_on_strategy_against_qb_tyrod_taylor_we_made_him_a_quarterback.html Taylor can blame racism for the criticism all he wants. He can tell us he doesn't care about the fans, yada yada. But when opposing defenses watch the film, they know Taylor cannot throw consistently from the pocket. In their minds, he's a running back who takes snaps from center. The stat line really says it all this time: nine pass completions for 56 yards in a game where the defense is giving up points lots of points. This isn't one of those low-scoring games where Taylor is "being smart with the ball" by not taking chances because a turnover will hurt, etc. This is a game where he HAS to take chances and throw the ball down the field...and he JUST. WOULD. NOT. DO. IT. It's a problem. I'm not exaggerating when I say: this was the worst performance by a Buffalo Bills quarterback I have ever seen.

"I've never played for anyone other than my teammates, coaches and family. Other than that, it doesn't really matter to me."

Getting nervous about our bet yet?

This is when I know a poster is full of crap - when he doesn't actually address the question.

It was a BS question. I tried watching the press conference but had to shut it off. I feel bad for Tyrod. He's doing the best he can and wants it more than anyone. He just isn't capable.

How many "experienced football executives" do you think exist? Much less would make a difference? Much much less willing to come to Buffalo? The front office as currently constructed is just fine and has the potential to do great things. Be patient.

This is BS

I'm sure it didn't help. You can only shut down that offense for so long before you break. The defense can't score points.

No arguments here.

Oh please. It was 7-3 in the second quarter when Tyrod did his first Edwards impression by checking down to Tubby Tolbert on 3rd and long.

The OLine was fine today. Not even on the Top 10 list of reasons why the Bills lost.
