Tyrod Taylor had a quietly spectacular day
Billsfan1972 replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
300 yards is a random stat used by the NFL and the Bills are one of 2 teams this year not to have done it in a game this year..... And people are happy? I am 100% behind (and support) TT, but I don't like the passing offence, the lack of targets and catches by Sammy Watkins, YAC, passes in space,over the middle. Finally the Bills only looked good in games they won Mia x 2, Indy, NYJ, Houston, Dallas easily and/or never trailed..... They were lousy vs. Tenn & in every game they lost they did not show the ability to handle any adversity on Offense & were putrid in their hurry-up/2 minute offense. I blame Roman, but TT is not blameless when he ignores Watkins and the calls at the line take 25 seconds. -

300 yards passing and coming from behind, which he's never done. Only time TT has looked good is in games the Bills dominated. Yes I m happy for the most part with his play, but overall it was a disappointing year. Rams are the only other team not to throw for 300 yards in 2015. The offense was better then expected, but the Bills completely underutilized their best player SW and they have a coaching staff still thinking that 70's football wins in 2015. -

In this league you need to be able to bring your team back and throw for 300 yards. I am very happy with TT, but he did neither of those once this year (resulting in a victory). Every good game was the result of the Bills controlling it from the beginning. And get the ball to Watkins!!!!!!!!! -

He is the Bills qb there is no arguing or debating the facts. For 2016 TT (and Roman) needs to work on the following: Clock Management Reading defenses Getting Watkins 10+ targets a game (again only 6 yesterday and barely looked at him) Throws over the middle Better reads on 3rd & short 2 minute offense YAC One thing I saw yesterday was actual different formations and movement on the line and by the receivers. -

Another slant. Tt 5 passes. Ugh -
Worst call or non-call against Bills this year?
Billsfan1972 replied to truth on hold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All teams had bad calls during the season and the impact can be argued. Meant nothing but twice Sunday the announcers in the Seattle/Cleveland game were 110% certain and announced pass interference against Cleveland and no flag was thrown. This league is a joke when it comes to officiating. The PI I shrug my shoulder about, the roughing the kicker vs. NE, where they didn't even bother to show a replay (was in a bar and was wondering what happened). Watkins rolling out of bounds and they just walk off the field and no one is upset, KC and the Hogan catches and 3-4 steps, illegal picks, the lack of PI or a DB holding that benefited the Bills...... The list goes on and on. -
Again I blame Roman 60%..... This is why Whaley is upset. When you watch a pass play and TT doesn't notice at the line that Watkins is in a favorable matchup and all you ever call is Watkins up the sideline it is ridiculous. As said very few slants, over the middle or crossing patterns. KC is the perfect example. Torches them the first half (and again 0 YAC and all passes were at or near the sideline) and the then the second half they didn't change a thing and didn't even look his way..... As for the 2-minute and hurry-up ask Roman why it stinks and how they are clueless..... If it is TT, then yes it's a problem. The NE game they moved the ball 33 yards in 2 minutes!!!!! Vs. Philly they started with a handoff, stood around the line wasting 20 seconds, took a penalty and then looked anywhere but to Watkins......
-
Again the problem is hat we can't be sure about Tyrod yet and how he was coached, his reads and what he is being told. The first 6 games he barely looked @ Watkins. The formations and play calling the second half seems to be the same almost every game. The long ball where Watkins outruns the defense. How many easy catches has he had? You know the crossing pattern in front of TT running clear, the simple 12 yard curl, a slant, an out...... Watch Odell, Julio, Antonio and the # of catches they get in space. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/receiving/sort/receivingYards/year/2015/seasontype/2 As always look at YAC and the big 3 all have approximately 30%+ of their yardage after the catch and Watkins only 13% (actually surprised it is that much as I can't remember any over 5 yards). Surprised that Hopkins hasn't many YAC either.
-
And no YAC with an OC who calls plays where Watkins is no more then a decoy. When TT looks at Watkins, he throws to him, otherwise he isn't involved. I cant remember a play where TT looks off a DB and throws to Watkins. Geez when TT rolls out Watkins is on the other side of the field. In addition nothing over the middle, no passes in space and he's never hidden. How does OBJ seem to have catches every game in space or wide open? Yesterday he drops a wide open TD on a simple pattern and the last drive a catch and run for 40 yards. The prior week he's 15 yards open on an 87 yard TD. Every Watkins catch is in tight coverage.
-
And still it seemed to ignored Watkins (or didn't read coverage) way too often. Watkins should have had a dozen catches today with the bills so far behind. I think the chemistry has a long way to go (or Roman just refuses to call plays for Watkins). Example today is Antonio Brown and the Steelers comeback. 16 catches!!!
-
No we need an OC who knows what he is doing. Until I see some creativity on offense, in addition to be able to run a 2-minute drill, I'll cut TT some slack. I swear he hasn't had an audible all year or actually changed a play at the line. You watch and he seems to be lost out there. BTW when does it look like he surveys the field or looks to Watkins on a play. You can tell almost every time that SW will not be involved in a play They were down 21-0 and the play calling I swear was that it was a 7 point game. Only the 2 play 85 yard drive had any semblance of urgency.
-
Yes a lot of things to complain about, but sorry Watkins again not utilized. 5 catches, 2 TDs and 111 yards are nice #'s. TT also missed him wide open, which would have been another td. A wasted first half again. The last quarter hey threw it to him 2X's and didn't even look his way..... I watch SW closely and you can see how few plays are called for him. Down 21-0 and they are still playing their same offense. I haven't seen a play called at the los. TT I see looking the other way and they never send him in motion.

CONTEST Guess the Combined Total Offensive Yards
Billsfan1972 replied to Hammers Lot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
842 Bills 441 Eagles 401 -
Not allowed to dream. Everyone shooting down points here are excited about 6-6 and see no room for improvement. BTW Seattle was sputtering but have finally opened up the passing game and last 4 have 240, 260, 345 & 274 (and YAC with a lousy receiving core)....... Meanwhile 240 for Buffalo is considered otherworldly. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/passing/sort/netPassingYardsPerGame This is a league where you should be throwing for 275+/game...... It is not 972 (as per my name).......
