2020 Our Year For Sure

IF Anthony Lynn can do that on the fly you're going to see Tyrod's play improve. I'd also like to see them give the quarterback more freedom to command the offense, I never see him changing the play for some reason. How can it be that we're always in the right play no matter how the defense lines up? Also would like to see more short drags, slants, WR screens and other easy passes for RAC yards. Basic stuff to get the QB into the flow of the game and get the ball in Sammy's hands were inexplicably missing from Roman's supposedly massive playbook. Just make success as easy as possible and I think the players will respond.

Roman is the obvious choice if you're looking to tank. The only OC without a hurry up, who can't even call plays on time, wastes his most talented players in Watkins/Clay/McCoy, doesn't have a passing game befitting of modern football and has his quarterback playing below his capability. Yeah let's promote that guy...

Now we can go no huddle when the situation calls for it like every other team in the NFL.

Our passing game always went through the run last year, even with weapons who can win matchups. A one-track approach in a league that demands versatility.

Its not just you, I completely agree. Things he's already proven he can do are not getting done.

Rex is gone at the end of the season, that doesn't change Roman's poor performance.

They should have after the season ended but now they have no choice. The quarterback is so out of sorts he can't even hit easy throws anymore. How can we win like that?

Glad to hear it, so was I.

If he has the single best offensive line in the league then he might be decent. If not it'll look a lot like it did in Buffalo.

This is an excellent move!!! -Tyrod is better than he's playing right now. -We can't even run the ball when that is supposed to be Roman's driving force. -We can't perform the basic football function of hurrying up. -We can't avoid 3 and outs, can't possess the ball when that's supposed to be our strength. -He's never really coached a particularly good offense anyway, after like 6 years.

The stuff of nightmares.

The team has taken on the personality of the head coach, too. Body language is not good right now, it is not a team united for a common purpose.

I'll watch every game and root for the Bills to win, I'll never be a tanker, but maybe our incompetence leads to a high draft pick. Maybe in that way we can even be #1 at something.

Awesome

It was disgusting right from opening week last season, and had not changed by week 16 against Dallas. We are on the same page, I've unfortunately punched a lot of keys on that topic. That would be interesting, no doubt. In the same vein I'd like to hear Tyrod's unadulterated opinion of his coaching staff. He was visibly frustrated when we wasted the final minute against Dallas when we should have been attacking the endzone with urgency. The coaching staff doesn't know the basics of situational ball and it puts him in a difficult position.

Is Taylor the only quarterback in the league, rookies included, who cannot run a hurry-up offense? Much more likely its a symptom of Rex and Roman's time warp.

Not like we didn't see that kind of incompetence multiple times in similar situations last year.

"Hiring the Ryan Brothers was asinine, asiten, asieleven..."

I think he's been mentally messed up by a coaching staff that spent the whole offseason preaching their chickensh*t play not to lose philosophy. Not that Tyrod will be an elite QB or anything but he's better than this. Its like when Kyle Orton came on and looked good, then when Hackett and Marrone got their claws into him he got worse and worse. I saw him pull his eyes away from the field to look at the pass rush...he didn't do that last year. He's missing easy throws we know he can hit. Something is just wrong in his head and he's not playing at the top of his game, wherever that bar is. I'm still interested to see this kid in an offense that befits this century and a coaching staff that believes in him every day in practice. JMO

To some extent they already do.

Gilmore should be traded now for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Can't give him the big bucks he's after so get something to help with the rebuild. Should have traded him months ago but it can still be done.

Yeah I've been agreeing with FireRex a lot lately.

Inside info?

My thoughts are that there are 2 types of quarterbacks, ones who get worse with mistakes due to loss of confidence, and ones who get better from their mistakes by learning from them. If Cardale is one who gets worse from his mistakes then he can never be the answer, and it would be best for the Bills to learn this prior to the end of the season. If Cardale is one who gets better from his mistakes then you're only helping him by throwing him to the wolves and letting him play poorly. All the time I see fans assume that if a QB plays poorly its bad for his development. Why? Whichever type of QB Cardale is, its only beneficial to see him play, whether he is "ready" for it or not. It all depends on Tyrod.
