Coach Tuesday Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Sorry if this has been discussed already but if it has, I haven't seen it. One of the biggest positives of last night's game (and there were a lot of them, including this team's newfound mental toughness) was Tyrod's interception. You heard that right. The interception was an example of Tyrod trying to "throw his receiver open." As it happened, the receiver and Tyrod were not on the same page about where the route was going, leading to a pick. But IMO it's exactly what Tyrod needs to do to take his game to the next level - throw to a spot downfield and let his receiver run to it, instead of waiting for his receiver to be standing there, open. Tyrod gets a lot of credit for his lack of turnovers but the other side of that has been an unwillingness to take chances downfield and trust his routes. It was a MAJOR positive and I hope his coaches feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 ive said for a few weeks that id be ok seeing a few more turnovers if it meant he was playing the role of nfl qb. they happen, and arent the end of the world if it means you have been taking the shots you should be and also hitting them sometimes.

TSOL Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I would also be willing to bet the miscommunication was due to the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxy312 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Receiver was supposed to run a wheel route and instead ran an out or simply gave up on the pattern. Not sure what the answer is but agree with the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I agree with OP also, TT has been great at protecting the ball to a fault. I saw on the broadcast last night that the Bills set a record as a team for turnovers through the first 8 games with 4 total, only 2 ints yet they only have 4 wins to show for it.

Yes, this is one of Tyrod's greatest flaws as a QB and yes, he was trying to achieve something more on the interception...so in a backward way, you have to give him credit for that.

Dorkington Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 If we're going to throw an INT, it might as well be into the endzone... its not a lot different than punting at that point, so I've no real issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Agree and why I am not slamming TT for that pick. It happens when throwing with anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Oh PLEASE stop...-It was a BAD throw... Woods doesn't catch up to that ball on a f___ing motorcycle... Sherman was the ONLY player in the vivcinity! -Chucking the ball up without vetting the coverage is something COLLEGE QB's do, not pros....While Tyrod has occasional rhythm with his receivers, it's nowhere NEAR what it should be for an NFL starter....

I agree, I would prefer TT to start taking more calculated gambles in appropriate situations at the cost of a turnover. I can live with a turnover on their side of the field in the attempt at a big play. Will the coaching staff agree with this though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what he needs more of, in every aspect of the game: anticipation. Make the throw before the break, climb the pocket before the pressure comes in, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you... Now everyone can see what an irretrievably BAD decision it was to throw that ball... For a 5-year veteran Tyrod's "anticipation" is AWFUL.... I'm sorry did I say awful? -Because I actually meant AWWFULL! -This isn't NFL starting material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 He also seemed to be throwing more OVER THE MIDDLE passes. That I like and hopefully will continue with yards after the catch for a change. Things are looking more positive, however, I still think his biggest error is not seeing the field when under pressure or scrabbling. There was a moment in the game where he rolled to the right running and Hunter was wide open in the end zone. He never even looked and ran it out of bounds.
