MAJBobby Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I think you really need to see what bad offensive play is. The offense is below last year's, but they're trending up as they get used to the new system. Execution has been better the last two weeks. And they Didnt score enough points this week to win. So yes there are some major issues with this offense.
MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Tryod ain't letting go of the rains folks. Deal.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Where's Joe Six pack? Where I always am. Thinking tyrod has a ceiling of average. Today's game didn't change that. But hey how about that amazing performance by Watkins this week eh?
JM2009 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 The team has had to be perfect in every way..... And they have. They too have gotten every break necessary and great for them. The problem is they've been beaten in yards every game (save the Jets) and they will need offense eventually. Replay went in their favour as did injuries and frankly bad play calling by Atlanta. Would be real nice to have Watkins still...... SMH is all I can say.
MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Err. reins. TT is turning the corner before our eyes. Funny how people hate that.
Jerry Jabber Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) The offense is still leaving points on the board, but they are still learning a new system and Taylor is still trying to build chemistry with his new receivers. Just as long as they keep getting better and learn Dennison's system, then I'm not too worried about it for now. At some point, the offense will have to put up over 30 points (most likely against the Pats). Edited October 1, 2017 by Jerry Jabber
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Play action is the star again. Gotta run it early and often.

Would be real nice to have Watkins still...... I agree about Watkins, but... McD has made calculated decisions based on what was happening in the game. We made the plays we made to win the game because that is what we had been doing the whole game previous. Both of the last two games we became conservative because and only because we had been efficient and good on defense. That's why Opie's had the offense go into a shell which kept us for more yards maybe but we win the game because of those decisions. If we weren't so good on defense he wouldn't have gone into a shell because we would have needed the points. I'm not a conservative fan by nature but I totally understood being conservative when they did the last couple games and they won both. So the decisions were good. It doesn't mean they are always going to do that.
bobobonators Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Taylor, in his last 7 games started for Buffalo (the Pitt game last year), has 11TD's and 2 turnovers.; (two different O/coordinators too and a completely different WR group) What an abomination Rex Ryan was to this team the last 2 seasons.

GunnerBill Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 What an abomination Rex Ryan was to this team the last 2 seasons. Yep. I am anti hire and fire.... and I'd have fired Rex after 1 season. He is terrible.
Figster Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 ....seems to be a two way street....TT is gaining confidence and Dennison is gaining confidence in him with his play calling........does NOT preclude a first round QB pick in 2018 IMO.... Good play from Taylor may keep us from having to reach so hard... and possibly using some of our high round draft selections on the Defensive side of the football...
Dragonborn10 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I love Sammy, but giving guys with his injury history big $$$ is the road to salary cap hell and perpetual suck. They didn't have to. All they had to do was pick up 5th year option and franchise him if he stayed healthy. No doubt even McBean is kicking themselves a little bit. Gaines looks solid and that second round pick will hopefully end the nightmare of Jordan Mills
HappyDays Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Who was it that said Tyrod couldn't make the playoffs with a top 5 D? How does anyone watch the team the past 2 years and come away with that conclusion?
JM2009 Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 And they Didnt score enough points this week to win. So yes there are some major issues with this offense. Go away for a few days, please.
MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I also know, without even looking, that Taylor is one of the winningest Bills quarterbacks in 55+ years of mostly suck. Without even looking I will guess he is 3rd in lifetime winning percentage among those with 20+ starts after Kelly and Kemp. Then who? Maybe Flutie is ahead? Can't think of who else would be (as much as I loved Fergie, I am sure he was sub-.500).
Fixxxer Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 3 good games to 1 bad game is a good ratio, I hope he and Dennison can keep it up (defense too, though) That ratio is for all the mathematicians out there......
MAJBobby Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Go away for a few days, please. Nah. But thanks for the suggestion
BringBackOrton Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 I've always believed Tyrod Taylor limited his TO's by sacrificing plays on the field. I do believe he's been doing less of that lately. He's taking more of what's out there (even those there's less of it because LOL our WR's).
grb Posted October 1, 2017 Posted October 1, 2017 Good play from Taylor may keep us from having to reach so hard... and possibly using some of our high round draft selections on the Defensive side of the football... Yep. There is absolutely nothing Taylor can do playing which stops a first round selection of a quarterback. But if he continues to play well the Bills won't do some elaborate package deal to move up. And they'll bring Taylor back to shield the first-rounder they do pick.
