Original Byrd Man Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 For an "inventive" OC our game plan is high schoolish. Also where is this "exotic" D? It seems to have dissapeared after the Indy game. I'm greatful for the win but overall performance has been poor.
Coastie Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I came away with one overwhelming thought. Let Tyrod be Tyrod, or don't play him. He will NOT succeed trying to be Peyton Manning. I think this is a coaching flaw, but perhaps I'm wrong. The tackling on this defense has to improve. That's where I am. He doesn't even have to run the ball, just move the damn pocket and put him in space where he can be a threat to do so. I hate watching him take a three or five step drop and never move an inch laterally.
The Dean Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Seemed like a give back for the horse collar. What they weren't pointing out was that on the horse collar by Brown on Taylor he grabbed him much higher up his jersey and then jumped on his legs. Bradham hot middle of jersey and didn't jump on the back of his legs. From what I saw (and I try like hell not to be biased when analyzing---but you know...) the horse collar on Taylor was an actually horse collar. The back of the jersey was grabbed at the top/inside--and as you point out, Brown jumped on his legs. But the picked up flag on the Bills was just a jersey tackle. I've seen that whistled as a horse collar in the past, but I could never figure out why. The flag was thrown on the Bills tackle, wasn't it? I believe they waved it off. Why do you need a make-up? If they actually thought it was a penalty, they could have just let the penalty stand. Did I miss something on this play? That's where I am. He doesn't even have to run the ball, just move the damn pocket and put him in space where he can be a threat to do so. I hate watching him take a three or five step drop and never move an inch laterally. One criticism I have of Tyrod is, for such an athletic guy, with unbelievable running ability, he does not seem comfortable moving in the pocket/scrambling when he has no intention of running. Maybe it's just the situations he has been in, but I expect him to be a bit better at that.
The Frankish Reich Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 3) I spent the first half angry that they were not calling running plays for Tyrod. Marriota was the 2nd selection of an entire draft, and they let him take off. Tyrod is a 6th round pick who the Ravens chose not to keep. He needs to run to be a good qb and I have said this from day 1. More on Tyrod to come. 5) The offensive line had absolutely no push. Their pass protection was pretty bad as well. Miller was getting tossed around and Henderson was worse 3) My thoughts exactly. I like Tyrod. I like that they had the guts to go with him as a starter. No offense to Tyrod intended, but ... he's not your "franchise quarterback," at least not yet. I understand why the Packers don't want Rodgers running around if they can at all avoid it. Ditto Seattle and Wilson. Yet those guys seem to pull it down and run more willingly than our "6th round pick, hey, let's take a flyer on him; what's to lose?" guy. When he's willing to run, he's positively electric. If he gets banged up and misses a start or two, that's the chance you have to take. A cautious Tyrod is really not an NFL quarterback. I hope the 4th quarter today signals a change and they set him free before we hit desperation time. 5) Also correct. I want to be able to blame it on the lack of a halfway decent RB, but it feels like our O line was just tossed around pretty good today. And Seantrel ... time to pull the plug on that one. They must not trust Cyrus at all or he'd be starting by now. Hey, a win's a win!
Bronc24 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 No LeSean, no Sammy, no Karlos...big win. Also would shout out to Robert Woods who threw one tremendous block on TT'S TD.
The Frankish Reich Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Tyrod Taylor, the Black Tim Tebow! This one reminded me of the Broncos late 2011 run. Some horribly unproductive offensive games for 3 quarters, then, all of a sudden, Tebow would do something with his legs to turn things around... Edited October 11, 2015 by The Frankish Reich
Nihilarian Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 The Bills won a game on the road that they really needed to win to stay legit in the division. A win is a win!! I'm watching the Dallas-Patriot game, and the Cowboys are really giving Tom Brady fits while hitting him a bunch. Makes me wonder why the Bills played the scheme they played against Brady
Original Byrd Man Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Chris Hogan is a baller. Horrificly underrated on this board. The long catch was a great adjustment of his body and he did well to haul in a low pass for the TD. He blocks well, he plays special teams and to this point this season is outplaying Woods who seems out of sorts. I agree on Tyrod. He has to run to win. He isn't going to win us many games stood in the pocket throwing. The line regressed the more the game went on. Great concentration and catch, but why no PI call? The DB was grabbing his arm. I'm pretty sure we would have gotten flagged/
Fixxxer Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 1) Just win baby, ugly as it gets but against an AFC rival on the road, I'll take the ugly win. 2) I wish I could forget the 1st half of today's game, any neurologist in the house? 3) How great is it when it's game 5 in the season and your rookie DB isn't tested by the opposing QB? 4) I would run comebacks and hitches with Goodwing until the opposing team stops me. We beat the Jets a couple years back doing just that, when they adjusted we beat them deep. 5) we need a RT, Morgan owned Henderson all afternoon, even the refs missed a couple of times he held his man. 6) Run Taylor, run. great run on 3rd and forever (thank you Lebeau), the spark he needed to step and help win the game. He needs to be better passing the ball. 7) Good job by the backs in pass protection, yes, even the new guy. 8) Probaly the worst game by Easley, it's just one game, can't be too hard on the guy. What will Ryan do regarding Denarious Moore? Do you give him more chances? 9) refs suck, always. 10) Go Bills!
Formerly Allan in MD Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Two receivers that many wanted to cut in the preseason, Hogan and Gilmore, played very well today. Oh, I forgot that Hogan's not a burner and can't help us much.

Oh, I forgot that Hogan's not a burner and can't help us much. Hogan is a heckuva football player. That drive was like a highlight reel ... the big catch, the throw to Tyrod, then the TD catch. Time to retire the endlessly boring "cut Hogan for [fill in the blank: Da'Rick, etc., etc.] meme. And Goodwin (I know you mean him) actually played football today, including special teams, and looked like he belonged ...

filthymcnasty08 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Opening play....damn Easley. Anyone see when that flag was thrown vs. the fumble? Curious.
LeGOATski Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 You might as well just put more song lyrics in there.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Opening play....damn Easley. Anyone see when that flag was thrown vs. the fumble? Curious. Listening to the radio, Murph announced a flag was thrown almost as soon as the ball was kicked. The tinfoil hat can stay in the closet on that one.
The Frankish Reich Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Opening play....damn Easley. Anyone see when that flag was thrown vs. the fumble? Curious. Do we ascribe that to timing with a new kicker? I hope so, because otherwise it's inexcusable ... the officials will get that every time since that's the line judge's only job on a kickoff, standing right there watching the line ...

If they actually thought it was a penalty, they could have just let the penalty stand. Did I miss something on this play? Both horse collar calls were eventually ruled correctly, IMO, but I knew right then and there that the next remotely close call was going against the Bills and was glad it was gotten out of the way deep in Tenn territory. I don't get too exercised about the refs......close games are going to happen and they will decide close games from time to time but most losses come down to teams missing a lot of opportunities. If ever a team deserved to get a bad, game changing call against them though, it was the Titans today because they basically kept the game close all day rather than going for the jugular. Win decisively and remove the refs from the equation.
