Wayne Arnold

Not sure if Erik aka Cover 1 has chimed in yet but he has an opinion on the "Fire Dennison" contingent. Scroll to 9:35 in the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8EvnSWnBEo

You think the Panthers and Falcons are unfamiliar with McDermott's scheme?

Bills started 4-2 last season. Bills started 3-2 the season before that (2015). Bills started 2-0 then 5-3 in 2014. Bills started 3-0 then 5-2 in 2011. Bills started 4-0 in 2008.

Yeah those 17 extra carries are a huge difference

Gillislee was 25 when the Bills signed him. Do you ever fact check or always just pull things from your ass when posting? 3 years would be a big difference a RB that is getting NFL carries on a full-time or even part-time basis. Considering Banyard only has 23 carries in his career, this is not the case. You follow?

Hilarious thread.

Banyard (2012) is just one draft class ahead of Gillislee (2013).

If Taylor can't throw from the pocket then he's not long for this team or league. He has to show that he can do it. I would be shocked if we see read-option plays or multiple designed runs. They're building a team for the long-term benefit of the organization. "Short-term gain sometimes doesn't equal long-term success." They have to know if Taylor should be invested in beyond this season.

What do you mean by this? Which players and which strengths?

Taylor can pass. He just won't.

Well apparently in your universe Cordy Glenn was once named an All-Pro so...

This "patch work line" is currently 7th in the league in pass protection. Not good enough for Tyrod to find someone to throw to, I guess.

Of course Taylor is the problem here. Look at the picture.

I know that any accomplish I list you'll just wave off as Kubiak's or Shanahan's so I won't even bother there. I'm referring to the statement that because he played linebacker that he can't be a good offensive mind. It's silly. That's because the defense knows the quarterback won't beat them with his arm.

McCown has had even worse receivers to throw to than Tyrod, yet he has a 71.4 completion percentage at 6.9 yards per attempt (compared to 6.7 for Taylor).

Of all the repeated takes on this board, this is up there as one of the dumbest. Who cares that he was a backup linebacker for a few years in the NFL? He's spent nearly a quarter of a century immersed in the Shanahan offensive system and is an accomplished NFL offensive coordinator.

Stay tuned.

They retained all five starters of one of the best OLines in the NFL the last two seasons. And they drafted one in the 2nd round.

7th in pass blocking. THROW THE BALL, TYROD

It has absolutely nothing to do with hindsight. The screenshot below is where Taylor's release point should be. He should be throwing a nice and easy pass to the 6-6 Thomas (with a 3-4 yard cushion) over the 6-2 Nick Vigil that hits his hands right on the '0' digit. Your average NFL quarterback attempts this throw right here. THROW THE DAMN BALL, TYROD!

Thomas is exactly where he "should be". The play worked perfectly but the quarterback got too scared to attempt the pass (again). This isn't even up for debate.

Horrible take. This is an easy throw. The defender isn't even looking. "The separation he needs" - that says it all. Tyrod needs too much separation. The NFL doesn't work like that.

This is the slow reaction that has been a fatal flaw for Tyrod. He needs to make a split decision to pass to Logan Thomas immediately and he hesitates, which costs them four points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5gHmJTJq-A

It's not fixable. He's 28 years old. This is who he is.
