I TOLD you Glen was alive!
He needs to be living when something worse happens to him....
-
How many dropped passes by the Chargers today?
-
Could you imagine if Rivers actually had time to throw a ball?
-
If looking at the offensive woes with "complexity" will make it better, I'm all for it. I'm just going by what I see, and it hasn't been good enough. I have to wonder if between Watkins, McCoy, and Tyrod, we have collected too many guys that may be fragile.
OK Ill bite i guess
- Prior to this year what injuries woes are you considering for McCoy
- Sammy Watkins played through fractured ribs last year and had a respectable rookie season
- Tyrod taylor in his first year of starting has missed 2 games?.......and is 5-2 in the games he has started
NOW
- GIven what we have seen in the league this year....how important is it to have your starting QB on the field
- Sammy Watkins has had TWO injuries this year and is our go to guy......how important is it to have him on the field
- When the THREE of them are together? How many games have we lost
Its INJURIES
-
They were all there against the Patriots, and only one was out against the Giants, yet they were ineffective.
Too many excuses. This offense isn't that good.
I guess will will find out tomorrow, because they will all be playing. Or will it not count because it's the Patriots (who are riddled with injuries)?
What a simplistic way of looking at it
-
Depth.
I kind of agree that injuries are the problem, but are they ever going to have all these guys healthy for a significant amount of games? It doesn't seem likely.
Look.....this is a bull **** answer....when they are ALL injured at the same time its injuries
-
With all these talented guys, and all these guys "creating space" for each other, I would think the offense would be a juggernaut. Yet they are 5-4 (and have one win against a team with a winning record), and the offense has had lots of struggles.
I have seen the same people post:
"Tyrod is playing great"
"Watkins is playing great"
"Woods is a really talented #2"
"Clay is a great weapon"
"Between McCoy and Karlos, we have a potent running attack"
I want to believe, and on paper it looks good, but I have yet to see a consistent offense.
Injuries
Well it wasn't supposed to be a QB thread, but how many draft picks have the Bills used on QB the past 20 years?
What if they dont need to?
-
The real question is why isnt WOODS getting more targets
-
" He may be a four-year guy but he’s a first-year guy in terms of getting experience. "
And he is right as Tyrod is playing his first year in the NFL as the starting QB. He still has a lot to learn, and a lot of growing / developing to do. Still, he is 4-2 as the starter.
Starter LeSean McCoy, he said, “is off the charts.” Count on Belichick trying to erase him from the equation.
And again he is right as Shady is another version of Barry Sanders. Lets hope that Greg Roman that can break McCoy free, and doesn't ask Tyrod to throw very often. Run the read option enough so that Belichick stacks the box, and then have Taylor hit Sammy, or Clay behind the LBers. I would love to see both McCoy and Karlos in the backfield, and have the line work the counter trey to open up the cutback lanes.
Gilbride believes teams can win in 2015 with a run-heavy, smashmouth attack.
As do I, as do I. I would rather watch a smash mouth team beat down that Patriots defense all game long so that they can't stand up by the end of the game. They should be bending over holding their knees or hands on hips gasping for air. With two, three tight end formations just pounding the rock all game long, and the Bills have the players to do just that. The only real problem will be if the defense can keep Brady in check, and if not we probably won't see much of the run game.
5-2
-
This COULD have been Tyrod Taylor instead......just sayin
-
Discredit or critique?
Jerry has a few words on the subject
Taylor still has much to prove as franchise QB [1:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Still, I remain unconvinced about Taylor as the Bills’ franchise quarterback. He has some gaudy statistics, and a 5-2 record as a starter.
Please tell me you are not presenting Jerry drivel please
-
I'd swap either one of our DEs for him, and gladly take the windfall cap space that came with it and apply to other positions.
Thank GOD you do not make decisions for this team
-
And there you have it.
You fill holes with veterans.....whether via trade or one of the free agency routes.
The organization lacked the commitment and resourcefulness to do that under the HOF'er Levy and Brandon and then Nix.
And so, they used the early rounds of the draft to patch whatever holes they felt they could most easily fill with those positions....subsequently getting poor value even though they often found solid starters.
I thought the Bills were over-aggressive early last offseason.......they panicked with the McCoy deal and ended up trading a promising player they didn't need to and more importantly backing themselves into a corner in contract negotiations......and they should have ended up with Brandon Marshall...one of their TWO STATED PRIMARY NEEDS when Rex was hired....a big WR and a NT........but instead they jumped the gun on Cassel(who couldn't even pass a physical at the time) and subsequently ended up with Harvin..............but I give them credit for addressing those needs so they could draft players they had more highly rated. Now that the cupboard is relatively stocked hopefully they can be more effective at it in future offseasons.
In the past their second round pick would have ended up either being a RB or a guard......instead they got a big improvement a difference making starting CB.....which was a position of relative depth.......and they were able to get Karlos Williams with a pick at great value. Miller was a little bit of a reach athletically but they were at least able to wait a little later for that pick because they had addressed guard in free agency and by keeping Urbik and Wood on the roster.....two guys they probably cut in February during the Littman years.
While you and I will never agree on McCoy......I think it is fair to say that in the Whaley years drafting has made more sense.....
There is no doubt that prior Whaley the drafting and free agency plans have not been good.....I think you also have to factor in that the team has been so dismal it is hard to even get quality free agents to sign here without over paying.
Harvin was a risk.....it didnt work out. It was year one of the El Pegula/Whaley/Rex era.....teams are not fixed in one draft
This next offseason should be interesting as I dont think they spend a ton of money on free agents other then ours
-
Ahem....just goes to show u what kind of !@#$s are on twitter and how athletes should stay as far away from it as possible
Players DO NOT GET A SAY ON WHERE THEY ARE DRAFTED......nor the fit of the situation they are going into
I maintain....and I STILL maintain....that I initually liked what I saw of Torrel Troup.......but he was not a 3-4 player......he was NOT small...but he also was not a nose.....and would have fit much better in a 4-3 under next to a gap penetrating DT
Now....the injuries are unfortunate......really really unfortunate
-
It still could be season ending. There's no sign of him making much progress.
Any perticular reason you are using happy emoticons while making such a statement?
-
There are a handful of players to watch in this game: OSU - Taylor Decker - OL, Vonn Bell - S, Darron Lee - LB, Michael Thomas - WR. From MSU: QB Connor Cook Jack Conklin - OL, Aaron Burbridge - WR and Shilique Calhoun - DE.
With the exception of Burbridge I expect all of those guys to be gone within the 1st 2 rounds but would not at all be shocked if 1 (or even 2) wind up in a Bills uniform.
If Conner Cook falls to us AT OUR PICK then I got no problem with it
-
Is this a bad spot to say that the Giants D had more to do with the wins then the Giants O
(ducking for cover)

I would much rather prefer MAGGIE to be a bills fan

Take your pick

The team is 5-2. Last week the special teams and defense won the game. Plus good running game. And he didn't start in the Cincinnati game, EJ did. McCoy and Watkins played in 5 of the seven games that TT started and they are 4-1 with them together and one game that McCoy didn't play Williams started and that was Giants game that they lost. He won one game without them guys and he threw for 109 yds and ran for 76 yds. First quarter stats of that game Tenn 115 yards and 7 first downs. Buffalo 7 yards and 0 first downs. He won the game with his legs in the second half of game and that was Mariota worst game of the year.
It is amazing the lengths people will go to to try to discredit the first good QB we have actually had in a while
-
I will never advocate intentionally hurting a player....ever
clean hits on a QB however are part of football....
-
What they need to do is just PLAY THE GAME
Play the game
run your routes like it was your last
nobody gets past you on a tackle
offensive linemen need to make the prettiest pocket around our QB all season
run block like your trying to take your guy to the parking lot
throw the ball accurately......accurately
pass rush like it is the last play of the game and it is the game winner
do NOT drop balls that hit you in the hands
if something bad happens move past it immediately.......
and.....do all this without committing penalties
-
Extending him early will cost us too - and sooner. Plus we might not even see a good return on that if he flames out/fails to live up to his deal. No, I'll wait and pay him fair market if he hits. That's fine. Our choices are:
- Wait and possibly pay more, which will be market value
- Pay him above his market early in hopes that we will get a deal and save some money, but also take the chance we might be overpaying him substantially
I really do see your point, but I haven't seen enough and there is time. I wait and see what Taylor does. And here's the reason: What he hasn't proven he can do is the toughest part of being a quarterback. I really hope he makes it, but I'm skeptical.
We have him for 2 years on this contract......but I def would not wait for 2 years to do the deal
The end of the year.....that is where I make the decision. It gives us a years worth of tape to evaluate him and see if he is picking up the concepts......
