polish lover Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Anyone else notice that Josh Johnson's Teams Played For to Career Touchdown ratio is nearly 2:1 ??? Let's hope Tyrod is OK and plays on Sunday. It is impossible to know what is going on with stuff like this viewing from the outside. We'll all know exactly what's going on at game time. There is zero chance Johnson ever plays a snap for the Bills. Did you notice while assessing Johnson's career stats that he spent the offseason on the Bengals? That would be the ONLY reason the Bills signed this player who throws 2 INTs for every TD. if Tyrod can't start EJ WILL start there is no maybe about that.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I have a hard time having faith vs the Bungles even if we had everyone fully healthy. I think Tyrod plays Sunday, for sure. I could entirely see him holding a clipboard vs the Jags as the backup so he can rest and then getting the extra week of the bye to rest. I'm not calling for any benching, I'm just thinking / saying if his ankle is hurt then playing on it may make it worse and then he could be out even longer.

Coach Tuesday Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 OK first of all for all you folks that are in a panic over Tyrod possibly not starting: he threw for 109 yards on Sunday. While it is true that he made the plays late in the game, mostly with his feet, his totally ineffective passing for most of the game is why they were in that position. He missed WIDE OPEN receivers in the game. Most notably Woods who had an easy touchdown on a third down. (tyrod made the first down with a wild scramble but the wide open easy TD was the right play for the QB to make. second of all there is absolutely ZERO chance this guy Johnson is going to see the field unless EJ gets hurt also. More obvious about the Johnson signing is that he spent the entire offseason on the Bengals. Duh. Inside info signing. he will probably get cut next week. The Woods play was not an easy completion, at all. TT was rolling to his right under pressure; Woods was streaking open down the left sideline. Near-impossible throw, let alone read.
thebandit27 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 There is zero chance Johnson ever plays a snap for the Bills. Well, hang on now, you're saying: if Tyrod can't start EJ WILL start there is no maybe about that. If Tyrod can't start, then he won't be in the lineup, so Johnson will be the backup. Right? If that's the case, then there actually is a chance that Johnson plays a snap for the Bills, since EJ was forced out of action 3 times in 14 starts.
polish lover Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 why doesn't every team do this every week then? Are you saying the Bills can't get info from film and scouts like everyone else does? because a QB from the opposing team is not available every week and you don't always have the roster flexability to do it. The Patriots do it almost every week when possible. go take a look at their transaction history. They have signed one of our ex players the week before our game. Are you really so naive to not see how having a player (particularly a QB) from the team you have to face is even better than film study? And NO I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT SAY THE BILLS CAN'T GET INFO FROM SCOUTS AND FILM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE lol actually didn't say anything of the sort. I just happen to think that anyone that thinks this scrub QB has any chance of playing and wasn't brought in to get an edge on the Bengals is well, an idiot. studying film does not show you the whole playbook only what they have done so far. johnson knows their whole playbook...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm wondering if Tyrod's ankle injury has anything to do with the sporadic inaccuracy we've seen on some of his passes in recent games.
thebandit27 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 yes it is great. Now we get to see EJ play a few games with the starters and a full week of practice. Sorry but if the EJ naysayers don't like this turn of events don't watch the game(s). This doesn't have to be about people being "EJ naysayers"...it's about people wanting the guy that's got the team at 3-2 to stay in the lineup.
The Poojer Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 F-cassel and f-freddy...they were past their usefulness for this team. We will be fine with EJ as a backup and Karlos coming back. love freddy, but he was done here. this is a tiny hiccup, EJ will be ready if called upon Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora 2m2 minutes ago Tyrod Taylor could miss multiple games with an MCL sprain suffered on a horse-collar tackle Sun.

nonprophet Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) So who does kickoffs? Maybe Schmidt? He's got a strong leg and as long as he can keep it in bounds it's good. According to http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9480872/san-francisco-49ers-sign-colton-schmidt-3-year-deal: The San Francisco 49ers have signed undrafted punter and kickoff specialist Colton Schmidt to a three-year contract.

polish lover Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The Woods play was not an easy completion, at all. TT was rolling to his right under pressure; Woods was streaking open down the left sideline. Near-impossible throw, let alone read. its an impossible throw if there was a defender within 15 yards of woods but there wasn't. He was as wide open as they come disagree with you completely. as does every sports writer and the commentators during the game. but you know better I'm sure because.... Perhaps if TT stepped up in the pocket once in a while and made a throw instead of rolling out and throwing the ball away or getting sacked like JP Losman this conversation wouldn't be taking place. I'm sorry TT is an exciting guy carrying the football but 109 gross yards passing is not even close to acceptable.
MarkAF43 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 lets see if all the talk of improvement for EJ was just talk or if it was legit.
Lurker Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Damn! Welp EJ....show your stuff! I never believe a word that LaCanfora publishes...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Could be both EJ and Cassel starting their respective teams next games.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I never believe a word that LaCanfora publishes... He's been wrong before, we'll see if any of the other NFL "insiders" have the same story.
dave mcbride Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 F-cassel and f-freddy...they were past their usefulness for this team. We will be fine with EJ as a backup and Karlos coming back. love freddy, but he was done here. this is a tiny hiccup, EJ will be ready if called upon I still think it was dumb move to get rid of Cassel. What if Manuel gets hurt? It's not like it hasn't happened before. I still don't understand the logic of the move.
stony Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 We're legit underdogs for the first time all year in my mind other than the Patriots game. And that match-up had too much outside noise. Let's see how Rex gets the team in game mode this week with few, if any, giving us much of a shot to win. We really need Sammy back, though.
Big C Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I would rather see EJ than Cassel Same. He was a BOSS in preseason. Let's do this!
