Big Turk Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 What's even more impressive is that Taylor is averaging the highest "Air Yards" per attempt in the NFL at over 26 yards per attempt. Funny that right after CBS posted this stat, he tosses his 38 yard TD to Hogan... For him to be throwing the ball that far in the air and for his completion percentage to be over 72% is REALLY REALLY good.
flmike Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 We were lucky to be so far ahead when we lost the whole right side of the OL. Hope it's not for long. Someone needs to kick Glenn's rear.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Without a doubt the Bills played an excellent game. But something is amiss with the Dolphins. They were dreadful! They played with little spirit and desire. The TD pass play to Clay in the beginning of the game was a disgraceful exhibit of effort and tackling by the defense. It was embarrassing. Playing with little interest and heart in your home opener is a good way to get the HC fired before the season is over. This is my take. The Bills beat up on a team that has already quit on its coach before the home opener. I can't remember anything quite like that, although maybe the 49ers last year (although I'd argue that their coach had quit on them). The announcers accused the Dolphins of sleepwalking and that's an apt description of what we witnessed today. Something is amiss, indeed.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 16) Boobie Brown is at best an average RB. Every time he was given the ball, we lost yards. Boobie Brown, huh?
Freddie's Dead Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Boobie Brown, huh? And Bryce Dixon.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 And Bryce Dixon. This is deserving of its own thread. Create a player. I'll go with Mario Taylor
Freddie's Dead Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 4) There's mosquitoes on the river. Fish are rising up like birds. It's been hot for seven weeks now, Too hot to even speak now. Did you hear what I just heard? Say, it might have been a fiddle, Or it could have been the wind. But there seems to be a beat, now. I can feel it in my feet, now. Listen here it comes again!!!! 6) Great game by Harvin today, to include a very clutch first down with approx. 4 minutes left in the 1st qtr. 4. May the music never stop, indeed. 6. Harvin was a first down machine. Nice to see somebody pick up for Fred. This is deserving of its own thread. Create a player. I'll go with Mario Taylor Preston Alonso.
birdog1960 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Boobie Brown, huh? might as well be. i'd take jackson any day over whatever you call him. the spiller/jackson/mccoy/hot rookie comparison is disingenuous. i like the rook but do 3 games erase the memory of all those games behind terrible lines for fj? no way. otherwise, i agree. i will add that ST had 2 penalties on a single play again including an illegal formation. either they need to fire a retard player or 2 on the ST or the ST coach. this shouldn't happen i especially agree with the value of an athletic TE. the first touchdown was embarrassing for the fins DB's. chandler would have fallen at the 5. it's about time the bills brass saw and filled the need. clay was a big asset today. finally, they were mostly all business today. no stupid jumping around and chest beating before they won. no over hyped, overactive confidence and bravado. they let the results talk. to me that's the most hopeful observation of all.
DC Greg Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I like Aaron Williams. He plays with passion and he can really hit when he gets a chance. We all know about the stupid penalties. My question, was there any drop off in safety play with him out of the game? Will he still be the starter as soon as he is healthy again? At least he isn't kicking the crap out of Darby. Yes he is the starter, and notice to our safeties, please ease up on the corners. Boobie Brown, huh? Funny, but in all seriousness, Boobie's feet look like they are stuck in cement. He really shouldn't be getting touches. If we're trying to pound it, let's see what Felton with a head of steam can do. Otherwise, just a wasted opportunity to give Karlos the ball.
TheJuice Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 TT's throwing motion is beautiful It is so effortless and natural. In the three games he has played so far he has been consistent with his high percentage his accuracy, arm strength and his ability to move. Compared to the pedestrian "game managers" we have watched for a generation he is a joyful revelation. Isn't it a pleasure to watch a TE being incorporated into the offense? Isn't it a pleasure to watch the whole field being utilized in the passing game? Isn't it a pleasure to watch a swing pass thrown accurately and with the right touch so the back could catch it in stride? As I said in another post Roman is a tremendous asset for TT and TT is a tremendous asset for Roman. He allows Roman to use all the tools in his tool kit. As you smartly noted Incognito is a terrific addition to the OL. He has by far been our best lineman. I didn't watch Glenn too closely in this game. But it seems to me that he is much more sluggish and slow to react than in his rookie year. I don't know if he wasn't able to get in the shape in the offseason due to an illness or injury. Something is wrong? Without a doubt the Bills played an excellent game. But something is amiss with the Dolphins. They were dreadful! They played with little spirit and desire. The TD pass play to Clay in the beginning of the game was a disgraceful exhibit of effort and tackling by the defense. It was embarrassing. Playing with little interest and heart in your home opener is a good way to get the HC fired before the season is over. Philbin is done, possibly tomorrow, or a week from then.
peterpan Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 I thought urbik played well and maybe even well enough to earn a starting nod over miller. Miller has struggled and may not be ready yet. Maybe it would benefit hit to take a breather and learn the mental part of the game for a bit
Augie Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Funny, but in all seriousness, Boobie's feet look like they are stuck in cement. He really shouldn't be getting touches. If we're trying to pound it, let's see what Felton with a head of steam can do. Otherwise, just a wasted opportunity to give Karlos the ball. Remember the game last nyear when Fred and CJ were hurt and Boobie got all the carries. You could just see it in him thinking, "yeah, that was fun for a while. Is it over yet? Really.... I think I've had enough....can we go home now?"
Lurker Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Seeing the way Karlos Williams and Ronald Darby have played reminded me of this gem. http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/18643/bills-miss-the-mark-with-darby-williams-selections Yeah, that post was priceless... "Yet the questionable selections of Darby and especially Williams will overshadow the other work the Bills did in this draft. There weren't pressing needs at either cornerback or running back, so the Bills will be wedging two players of questionable character onto their depth chart..." Philbin is done, possibly tomorrow, or a week from then. Yep. Probably after the London game if they get blown out by the Jests...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Seeing the way Karlos Williams and Ronald Darby have played reminded me of this gem. http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/18643/bills-miss-the-mark-with-darby-williams-selections Haha- yeah Whaley is the best young GM in football right now. Mark it down. He finds talent, period.
The Dean Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Excellent recap, as usual, Bill. Darby played an exceptional game. I think you can see why I was not "worried" about his play based on the preseason when Rex purposefully gave him a baptism by fire. But make no mistake, when Leodis returns, he will step back into the lineup (when he becomes game ready). It will only make the defensive backfield even stronger. Boobie is what he is. I still think he has value as a short yardage back, but he really isn't an every down back, IMO. William Karlos Williams is a monster. Will only get better, IMO.
Playoffs? Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Seeing the way Karlos Williams and Ronald Darby have played reminded me of this gem. http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/18643/bills-miss-the-mark-with-darby-williams-selections It's Rodak. What do you expect? He's the worst.
Jkgobills Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Haha- yeah Whaley is the best young GM in football right now. Mark it down. He finds talent, period. 1. Karlos Williams and Darby are looking like two fantastic draft picks. 2. Kelvin Sheppard for Jerry Hughes was genius 3. Charles Clay is a great all around TE, and a solid FA acquisition 4. Signing Percy Harvin and Incognito with something to prove was genius. 5. And Tyrod looks like the real deal.....the first time that can be said for the Bills in a long time Thanks for posting Bill!

Maybe just two carries a game....every time the announcers say his name my 10 year old giggles

For him to be throwing the ball that far in the air and for his completion percentage to be over 72% is REALLY REALLY good. impressive indeed! I know the season is young but having a real QB with signicant production/points from the offense is such a welcome and long awaited change. Remember the 'can't score in the red zone' angst we suffered for so long? Just hoping we could score in the red zone a little more, to allow us to eek out one or more wins with our great defense. Seems like a bad dream now. This is really getting fun again!
