Rubes Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 San Fran is at #31, giving up an average of 146.8 yards per game on the ground. Miami is at #32, giving up an average of 150.8 yards per game on the ground. Those are yuuuuuge numbers, and it plays right into the Bills' strength. Will they be able to take advantage?

We better make Tyrod throw for 300 yards. Otherwise a win won't count.
KollegeStudnet Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 I was looking at the numbers last weekend when coming to the idea the Bills could go on a three game winning streak. Not jinxing, but the Bills rushing vs. these two teams look good.
McD Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Do your normal preparations, but also prepare for both of these teams to have 8 men in the box all day (including a spy on TT). Clay and O'Leary could be huge in these games!
Dorkington Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 We better make Tyrod throw for 300 yards. Otherwise a win won't count. You really don't understand nuance, do you?
GG Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 We better make Tyrod throw for 300 yards. Otherwise a win won't count. Who has ever made this argument?
BillsBytheBay Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Who has ever made this argument? the other hot thread right now.... the one that says TT has played awful yesterday.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Who has ever made this argument? Like everyone having a conniption over Taylor's passing number in winning games.
GG Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 the other hot thread right now.... the one that says TT has played awful yesterday. He did have a mediocre game yesterday. But no one made a comment about piling up yards or that the win didn't count.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 You really don't understand nuance, do you? It's just satire on those focused on passing stats when your opponent is helpless against the run.
GG Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Like everyone having a conniption over Taylor's passing number in winning games. The conniption is about him missing wide open targets and losing his accuracy, not about piling up yards. But it's very much unlike you to completely distort the point in order to slam Bills fans.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) He did have a mediocre game yesterday. But no one made a comment about piling up yards or that the win didn't count. No, but a lot is being made about Taylor's passing stats in a game where the Rams D begged to be ran on. Edited October 10, 2016 by PromoTheRobot
John from Riverside Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 We better make Tyrod throw for 300 yards. Otherwise a win won't count. When I see numbers like that I think that those teams are going to sell out against the run. I see big games from Tyrod Taylor and his receivers coming up.
GG Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 No, but a lot is being made about Taylor's passing stats in a game where the Rams D begged to be ran on. Was that the game where Bills piled up most of their rushing yards in the first half, and then had a hard time with Rams' second half adjustments? Where they got 56 yards over 4 series, when the game was still very much in question and needed the QB to make a passing play?
Marty McFly Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 We better make Tyrod throw for 300 yards. Otherwise a win won't count. Who has ever made this argument? Seems like half the board after every win has the "well we won but we didnt win the way I wanted us to" thing going on.

Southern Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 I don't care how many yards he has or doesn't have as long as he keeps walking off the field with a W.

The crazy part is in the recent past, our run game has suffered against the worst rush defenses. It is a real peculiar thing.
fridge Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 We better make Tyrod throw for 300 yards. Otherwise a win won't count. No one has said this.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 IMO the problem is when we lose and Taylor doesn't play well it is because he is just not a franchise QB. That may or may not be the case. But when we win and he doesn't play well it becomes winning like this is unsustainable. So unless he plays lights out, and has great stats, and we win, nothing is good enough, even when he makes extraordinary plays. The time to criticize him is after a game we needed him to play well and hit more passes and we lost, like, say, the Ravens game. The time not to criticize him is when we score 30 points on the road on the west coast against a good defense and he throws two TDs and no turnovers and we win by 11 points. That is sustainable. If he does that every road game we win every road game. It's not about stats. I would trade no turnovers for 75-100 yards, easily.
