Rocky Landing

Welcome to the board, I guess...

Cleveland has too much on the line here. They are on the verge of making history, and joining only one other team with a perfect season record. As much as the Bills might want to mess that up for them, the Browns just have too much to lose. Or, too much to win, not to lose. Or something like that.

I don't want to sound like a Tyrod apologist here, but... Tyrod's failure is Rex Ryan's failure. TT actually had some good throws today, and there were a lot of dropped balls, and poorly run routes. It's not from any lack of talent, including TT. It is from a lack of chemistry, and that lands on Rex, IMO. Rex's stubborn adherence to a run heavy offense has come at the expense of the passing game, as opposed to enabling the passing game, as should be the desired effect. And, can we now put to rest any notion of Rex Ryan, or his baffoon of a brother being defensive geniuses? Defense was their calling card. And, they're terrible at it. TERRIBLE!

I don't see TT getting benched before we are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. I think that is also unlikely, but if it happens late in the season, it won't be EJ. It would be fun to see what Cardale would do.

My list would come down to: Lorax Hughs Shady Robey-Coleman Kyle But, I'm hoping someday it will be Cardale.

I clicked on that link, and now I'm getting that same rug advertised to me on my Facebook feed. Thanks a lot...

28-27 Bills win by a pinky.

I love these sorts of stats, and they really do make the discussion interesting. That being said, their pure objectivity can be deceiving, and no one should be too quick to draw conclusions from these things. Obviously, there are variables missing. For example, QBs are more likely to make a bad throw when they have poor protection and are more likely to have DEs bearing down on them. Ryan Tannehill is #5 on this list. In the end, subjectivity matters.

The slot machines alone would pay for it. (edit: I'm being snarky, not literal.)

And with the construction infrastructure they have, they could build it in about a week and a half.

I voted "other," because I'm hoping the other Tyrod Taylor plays.

Tyrod looked to have lost a step yesterday. That one big hit really affected him, especially. I don't think Burfect could have gotten to him earlier in the season.

Are you suggesting that the drop off in ratings is due to the disparities between fines for different rule infractions between different players? Or is it merely due to Goodell's salary? And, when you say "unwatchable watered-down product," what precisely are you referring to? The flags thrown? Too many rules? Or is it the attempt to limit injuries? Or, perhaps, it is the lack of injuries themselves that has you down?

This board is starting to achieve the tenor of offseason. Threads like this should just die on the vine.

Along with the flag that he didn't get for roughing the kicker, I would like to know why he didn't get an unsportsmanlike conduct for mad-dogging our coach.

Poignant. Well done.

He's tipped his hand, people. This is parody. Also, if we had lost that game to Arizona, we'd have a better chance at the playoffs.

This scares me a little bit...

You don't honestly believe this. You dishonestly believe this.

Coming into this discussion a little late, so I apologize if this has already been said, BUT... Easily half of TT's missed passes should have been caught, and would have been by a decent stable of receivers. Clay, Powell, Tate, and Hunter all had some egregious dropped balls. Would we be having this same conversation if TT had thrown 28/38 for 270+ yards? It's so easy to point at a single player, or coach, and say, "there's the problem." IMHO, TT wasn't the only problem, today. Not even close. You could put Dale Earnhardt Jr. behind the wheel of a 1964 Volkswagen Beetle and he's not going to win a lot of races. There are plenty of problems with this football team, at the moment, and Tyrod Taylor is the best QB we've had in a long time.

I get it shipped to me in LA once in a while. But NOTHING beats getting a Wing & Mac Snack fresh at the restaurant, which, sadly, only exists now on Mt. Hope Ave.

God, how I love Country Sweet. When I come to Rochester to visit family, sometimes it is my first stop.

Where's the best lemon pepper?

Wait a minute. Did I miss something? Is Woods OUT? How did you figure OUT that Hunter is our #1? I've seen him work well on the OUTside, but he's only caught 3 passes. I don't think our WRs are as OUT-matched as you think. Sure, with Sammy, and Salas being OUT, other guys have had to step up. But, O'Leary has stood OUT in the past couple games, and should get more targets, and I honestly believe that Goodwin's numbers have been less than OUTstanding as a result of the type of rOUTes he has been assigned- throws which TT has had trouble making. And, of course, our run game has been stOUT.
