https://youtu.be/O8RMzQ58uq4 Pretty good preview. The fact he flew out to Foxborough last week to support his team despite all the threats and trash talk he received and of course factoring in the odds alone is quite respectable. Those New England videos he made were priceless.

I hope he is fully healed. The last time he returned not fully healed he was injured long term. So why in the world was someone here saying he might never play football again and his injury was career ending?

I think that Merriman is a bit all over the place stating how players such as Tyrod Taylor in Buffalo go by unnoticed but then he refers to San Diego that is LOSING their team as an example of a good large market team. Then he states at the end that if Tyrod continues to play well then the media will have no choice but to give Tyrod attention. Let's be realistic. It's been 10 games for Tyrod. If I am not a Buffalo fan I would be following Tyrod, enjoying his highlights but seeing if he can keep up this level of play over not only this season but the next season as well and first would want to see overall success of his team before praising him as an elite QB should be praised. Also it couldn't be further than the truth this year with the media covering Rex's every move including making headlines about even his smallest facial expressions. Tyrod is playing well and will gain his praise as he proves consistency. He also will have to end the Bills playoff drought. It's not a case of small market shunning, but rather a case of 16 years of poor performance and management that would never entice

In my prediction O'Leary will be a star. I don't care about preseason performance. He will do excellent.

Great play, but that run is against one of the worst NFL defenses. Let's see that kind of play against the Broncos, Panthers, or Seahawks and then we'll enter the discussion of the best running QB in the game.

This one is going to be TOUGH. I don't think Chip Kelly's seat is cooler. It's been three weeks since they played at home and they lost that last game. They are going to do be playing with confidence. The Bills need to come out swinging early like today. The Bills need to also get tons of pressure on Bradford. The Pats had Bradford on his knees with multiple three and outs consecutively with pressure.

Against the best defense statistically in the NFL actually.

Excellent post. Hopefully the Browns get Paxton Lynch or Connor Cook and the good fans of Cleveland don't suffer anymore from the QB embarrassment of Johnny Manziel. People here demand immediate results and are somehow delusional about last year with how bad the coaching was. You're absolutely right. It takes time with a new system and nobody even wants to give the coach one year. It's frustrating that we haven't won more but it's more frustrating to think people are demanding for the firing of Rex Ryan before even a single season is over with. I for one have always been a supporter of Ryan. He's made the bills relevant again and a key destination for FAs.

GunnerBill has it right.

lmfao true

Perhaps Frank Reich will come back and play QB one more year for a super bowl run.

We need Connor Cook. Whether we do it by tanking or trading up oh well. The kid has a killer instinct on the field. That's what you need.

Great post. Thanks for posting the numbers and stats. I can't stand the ignorant comments such as "and?" after this post. If only these trolls would stay in their caves, the informative posts would be in much better focus. There is a lot of criticism against Rex Ryan and putting the games in context provides a better lens for critique. I am happy Rex Ryan is our coach. We haven't gotten worse and we are relevant again.

We are very low on LBs. He was good to stuff the run and talented. I think it would be a good idea.

Just out of curiosity who/what drove Polin away? I thought it was his TV gig.

I must say I am so amused reading this thread and all the comments on here from the guys that are hating on Tyrod but don't have the stats to defend their arguments. They are creating all of these far stretched and conceptually bankrupt claims nitpicking fine issues with his performances. Lmfao. I can't wait for another good performance from Tyrod so that I can read some even funnier arguments. Even if hypothetically NE traded us Tom Brady for a 5th round draft pick and he became our starter the same people hating on Tyrod here would find something wrong with Brady calling him too old or comment on how he throws too short passes and has bad deep ball accuracy and therefore the Bills shouldn't start him. Lmfao.

Nobody was more frustrated than me when we lost against the Pats holding them to 20 pts in their own home, and I was really disappointed in Tyrod despite being a fan of his. I since got over it. I suggest everyone else do the same and see how these next few weeks play out. I still have faith in Tyrod, and as heartwrenching as that loss was, it was easy to turn the anger at the guy under center who has become the face of the franchise. However, I got over it and I suggest the rest of you do as well. I just wonder what people will say when Tyrod has 2 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD and 0 interceptions this weekend. Perhaps the mood on this forum will be back to figuring out how we can structure his big contract under the salary cap in order to keep other playmakers..... but then again it'll most likely be "He got lucky this time, time to figure out how to trade up and draft Cook or Lynch".

I think we should grab Licata undrafted because he's a diamond in the rough. He's got a pretty good arm and high football IQ. There's absolutely no risk to bringing him in and seeing how he takes to training camp.

If we got Wilkerson that would be excellent. He's younger and plays more consistently.

I definitely agree with you. I was a bit bitter writing that post over the loss. Tyrod will be fine and do well for us.

Listen I like Tyrod a lot... and for what we paid and where he was drafted he has exceeded expectations BY FAR... but we have some elite receiving talent that aren't getting the ball enough... we need a QB that can get these guys the ball OFTEN on a consistent basis. Of course you need to let this season play out and see if Tyrod can do this. I have always been a fan of pocket qbs ... but Rex Ryan doesn't seem to like a pocket guy so we'll see what happens. Be calm and let this season play out.. AT THE VERY LEAST the next 2 weeks. A good promising QB will play well in 2 games against mediocre defense teams that have playoff implications. Yes the Chiefs have a top 5 run defense and the Texans have a top 5 pass defense as of right now but neither are top 5 in total defense. Tyrod needs to play well in these games.

This. For me it's Cook or Hackenberg. Our backup should be Licata.

I for one didn't find it funny but thought it was a beautiful tribute albeit most likely unintentional. Adele's voice and Ryan's passion to overcome the team that dumped him made me very emotional.

Cassel couldn't even get a touchdown versus the Bucaneers. He threw an interception. I don't understand how he would be an upgrade over EJ Manuel. As far as Freddie goes, if he became an all down back he would have been injured.

Nice to know he's got more arm skills than people originally gave him credit for.
