Beerball Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 He was holding his shoulder before he threw the perfect deep ball down the sideline to Hogan, too. I need to find common ground with someone today. Can we agree that the offensive team seemed ill-prepared to handle the end of the game? Disorganization, almost lethargy?
Kelly the Dog Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I need to find common ground with someone today. Can we agree that the offensive team seemed ill-prepared to handle the end of the game? Disorganization, almost lethargy? Total agreement. Equal blame to Roman and Rex for not forcing Roman. That's been an issue all season. Terrible planning by Roman. He needs to let Taylor have substantially more leeway and not micromanage.
DDD Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Kelly....that is because Tyrod is a gamer....one of the things I love about him. but He should not have been on the field. EJ Manuel gives the Bills the best chance of losing.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Actually Rex was about to put EJ in and made that decision. Taylor told Rex he was fine and could play and so Rex let him back. Likely conversation: Rex: Tell me you're okay so I don't have to put EJ in. Tyrod: I'm good to go Coach.
Gugny Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Kelly....that is because Tyrod is a gamer....one of the things I love about him. but He should not have been on the field. Gamers tend to be good. He sucks healthy. He sucks worse hurt. Career backup for a reason. We're seeing it every week.
jethro_tull Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 He may not be very good in cold weather (which is not good). What we do know is that he (and the Bills) need a successful running attack during a game to keep the defense honest to establish the passing game. The Bills OL was straining to open running lanes against a very stout patriots defensive front and once Miller was replaced by Urbik it got worse.

DE Bills Fan Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Still better than EJ, still the best QB on the roster, but he surely isn't the long term answer at QB. I really wanted to believe, but he is another checkdown or scramble guy that can't consistently read the defense and throw down the field. It's frustrating. Totally agree. He is a great athlete, but cannot throw from the pocket and is too small and injury prone. Will never survive a full season. They need to address this ASAP before the Defense gets worse....
NOVABillsFan Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) OMG. 12 pages of the sky is falling. One would think that the apocalypse happened last night. Taylor wasn't at his best, he didn't turn the ball over and he was not sacked a bunch of times and the game remained close. At the end of the game, TT being in obvious pain, and what appeared to be no obvious path to victory (meaning a hot streak / momentum) they could have at least tried EJ for the final series. Hindsight being what it is, it couldn't have hurt. Edited November 24, 2015 by NOVABillsFan
cantankerous Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 You're smoking crack if you think they should've put EJ Manuel in the game.
PortlandiaEast Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Rob Johnson did too. Rodgers did too! I guess just bc he sat for four years is not reason enough to beleive he is forever a QB to come off the bench. Hes not a rookie, but this is his first year starting since VTech. Its his second game back after sitting. I will make excuses bc the constant turnover at QB is hurting more than a bad QB is. We are 10 games in. TT is our QB this year. Thats it. Sorry gugny i meant nothin by it haha we are all special. Edited November 24, 2015 by PortlandiaEast

What happens when a QB becomes a starter is what counts. Taylor, since being named the starter, has sucked in nearly every game he's played. And his performance trend line is going downward at a pretty steep pitch. He's Vick all over again. Take away the outside/his run game and make him pass. Then watch him suck. That's it.

Gugny Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 0-2 against teams with a winning record. The teams he has beaten have a combined record of 20-30. As true as those things are, I'm not even considering W-L. He just looks horrible. He does two things well part-time: run and throw deep passes to wide open receivers. And lately, he can't even do those two things. He really just isn't good.
Big Gun Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Agree 100%. Taylor is a very good QB. One of the best in the league. I watch a lot of NFL football and the way Tyrod Taylor has performed this year put him in the top 10 in the league. You will not find a better one in the draft or on anyone else's roster. He is the real deal. This has got to be sarcasm, right?

Start Manuel again? Dumb, da dumb dumb.
aristocrat Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 see i think he's the future. i'm impressed with him.
