That’s the throw the haters claim he can’t make.

And this is when “fans” like you start to root for us to lose.

This is what we should have done

Defense will get a turnover on this drive.

Bad muff by DT

Too bad EJ wasn’t out there...

That’s what makes TT special.

Third long ball overthrown.

Up the middle.

Tyrod checked down as he should have in that situation. Logan should have made that catch. Period.

That’s got to be demoralizing to their D to have that pick go nowhere.

OMG Bortles sucks!

First flag. Refs are letting them play.

Wow Bortles sucks.

I agree with this. There were many head-scratching moments this season regarding personnel. I think the Dareus trade was less controversial than some of the others, but this is a game where he will be missed. But as far as his impact in this game- he isn’t a starter. I’m not sure I would put their improvements solely on his shoulders.

So, a thread about Marcel Dareus, and our run D immediately tries to turn into another TT bashing thread. I think I will just have to avoid this site, altogether, today...

Pretty accurate portrayal of an NFL ref.

There were quite a few people on this site who, not even halfway into the season, were hoping we would tank for the sake of a high draft pick. I never bothered to take note of the names of these posters because I utterly disagreed with such malarkey. But the disappointment among some that we made it into the postseason is palpable on this thread, especially. No one is going to admit their disappointment, of course (even to themselves, I suspect), but the attitude seems to make its way into every thread. It's a bit sickening, and a real drag to endure. I still go to this site every day-- there are quite a few educated, and insightful posters around here. But, the constant parade of Tyrod haters pissing in the well is tiresome.

You're missing the point. The O-line was getting blown up for four quarters. The Bills played better with TT at the helm.

Yes, they came out for the second half and played with intensity. Taylor has the ability to escape the pocket and extend plays, and he did that. You, and Buffalo2218, can try to weirdly rewrite history to fit you agenda. But, it just looks silly. Anyone who thinks that Taylor wasn't A LOT better than Peterman in the second half of that game is delusional.

Since when does garbage time start at the beginning of the second half?

It seems to me that his stat line against the same team in the second half of the same game is a bit more relevant.

How far do you have to stretch to not give Taylor any credit that he is due? I didn't see the Chargers "let off the gas." They were pumped.

This seems to be the conventional wisdom, but I'm not so sure. If we draft a QB high, which seems likely, would it be better to have Taylor, whichever vet journeyman is available, or Peterman/Webb?

There's really no question in my mind. They played better on both sides of the ball in the second half, especially the offense.
