BuffaloHokie13 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 They don't trust the qb enough to get him the ball more. Sammy was visible frustrated when he came back from injury. I guess it is a new offense so we will see if they throw more because imo that is the way you win in today's NFL. But I don't think the old coaches saw Tyrod looking like Rodgers and held him back in games. Who is 'they' exactly?

buffaloboyinATL Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Now that he is a Raven, I will say I am happy we did not get Percy Harvin 2.0
BuffaloHokie13 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 The old offensive coaches. Well, part of the reason the new OC came here was the QB.
C.Biscuit97 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Now that he is a Raven, I will say I am happy we did not get Percy Harvin 2.0 There is zero comparison between those 2. Harvin was an injuried plagued midget who had little man syndrome. Maclin has 2,000+ receiving yards in 2 less seasons.

But I don't think the old coaches saw Tyrod looking like Rodgers and held him back in games. You don't really believe that do you? They were rolling up yards and points. I think that the pass attempts move to about 35 a game (where they were in Denver). The Bills offense is WAY better than people here give it credit for. They haven't been the problem the last 2 years despite what some here believe. They lost 6 games last year scoring 24+ points. The rest of the AFC playoff teams combined lost 5 such games.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Whether it is fruitful or not remains to be seen, but a lack of trust in the QB is not one of the issues with this staff.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Whether it is fruitful or not remains to be seen, but a lack of trust in the QB is not one of the issues with this staff. It wasn't an issue the last 2 years either (except when EJ had to play).
26CornerBlitz Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Now that he is a Raven, I will say I am happy we did not get Percy Harvin 2.0 Come on man. That is some serious sour grapes. @StepnerABC2 #Ravens John Harbaugh on Maclin addition says he's excited. Maclin is good football player & great person. @ABC2NEWS

BuffaloHokie13 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 It wasn't an issue the last 2 years either (except when EJ had to play). That staff's focus was running and ball control. Kubiak/Dennison's is more of a pass to get ahead, run to close out the game. It's going to have a different feel.
Wayne Arnold Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Maclin chose the Ravens because the Wire was based out of Baltimore while the one show based out of Buffalo, Jesse, was terrible. I bet none of you remember that sitcom. wasn't christina applagate (sp?) in it? What a classic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPBeHkHXn4
Figster Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) It wasn't an issue the last 2 years either (except when EJ had to play). I believe the coaching staff trusted Taylor to protect the football , but I'm not sure how confident they were about Taylor winning games with his arm at crunch time. (because he didn't) Edited June 13, 2017 by Figster
Royale with Cheese Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 What a classic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KPBeHkHXn4 Do you celebrate Christina Applegate's entire catalog?
Wayne Arnold Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Do you celebrate Christina Applegate's entire catalog? Of course! Fun Fact: Jesse actually lasted longer than Applegate's second attempt starring in a network sitcom (also on NBC) Up All Night with Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph.

Fun Fact: Jesse actually lasted longer than Applegate's second attempt starring in a network sitcom (also on NBC) Up All Night with Will Arnett and Maya Rudolph. I can't even remember Up All Night. Was it better than The New Adventures of Old Christine? I gave it a shot because I love Julia Louis Dreyfus but ughh....bad. Veep is good though.
eball Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Such as? It's June and the Bills have $12 million in cap room. I'm not here to spend the Bills' money...I entertain myself watching the machinations of all the would-be capologists posting in the forum. We already know Pegula isn't interested in "saving" money, and I operate under the presumption that the new front office has a plan to make the best use of that money. In the very recent past I believe the Bills threw $$ at what they hoped would be quick fixes; I now believe there are competent, thoughtful people in place who take a longer view.
MPT Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Sammy would be a 1,500 yard receiver with Flacco and the Bills would be a playoff team. Flacco isn't great but he would be good enough to put us over the top. Not sure why you guys have so much trouble grasping this, but there is no QB on the planet that could have gotten Sammy 1500 yards. Why? Because he wasn't on the field. And if Flacco, with Steve Smith Sr. and Mike Wallace (neither of whom even sniffed 1500 yards), couldn't get to the playoffs with a top ten defense, what in the world makes you think he could do it with a bottom ten defense and a bunch of practice squad receivers?
BringBackOrton Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I would say 1,000+ yards in that dynamic Rams passing attack would classify as "good veteran receiver." 2 years ago Maclin went to play with Alex Smith, Royal went to play with Cutler, Bowe went to play with Manziel, Torrey Smith with Kaep, and Britt with Foles. Those were the 1,2,4,6, and 9th highest wide receiver contracts signed that year. Do you want me to keep going or do you just want to take the "L" and backtrack? And Marshall went to NYG, Sanu Atlanta, Marvin Jones Detroit, Boldin Detroit, Desean Jackson TB, Maclin Baltimore, Jeffrey Philly, Patterson Oakland, Wallace Baltimore, Johnson Tennessee, LaFell Cincy, Benajmin SD. Those were all in the last two years off the top of my head. Looking it up, 9/10 of the highest WR contracts given to UFA in 2016 were on teams with franchise QB's. 9 out of the top 9 in fact. You gonna tell me that's a coincidence? Can you explain why the best WR Buffalo ever got in FA was the corpse of TO almost a decade ago? Let's talk about 2014. 13 out of the top 15 UFA WR's signed in 2014 went to franchise QB's. 10 out of the top 11. The only one who didn't in the top 10 was Decker, who got the biggest payday. Woah. You were saying about the "L?" Edited June 13, 2017 by jmc12290
CanadianFan Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 To Beane: FAIL! To Maclin: Good for you! Flacco is the WAY BETTER QB. He had a better chance of getting more balls and more money with Flacco than with TT.
