Billsmovinup Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) OK...maybe I am totally out of place on this but can we smoke the peace pipe on this? Everyone that had a detracting opinion of Tyrod and everyone that is supportive of Tyrod are entitled to their opinions..... The nice thing about this? Tyrod is taking care of this himself on the field.....he is playing good consistant football (not elite)....he is playing better then he was last year. His team has beaten 2 good teams this year and almost pulled out a 3rd. Lets just see how this plays out. Its funny how we all seemingly cheer for the same team yet fight like cats and dogs over said same team. Pretty sure even the most ardent TT hater would have a smile on his face if the Bills were on TV in mid January. Edited October 2, 2017 by Billsmovinup
John from Riverside Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 we're not the # 1 defense (as someone "reminded" the board earlier) But we do rank # 1 in a number of categories. PPG, Passing TD's allowed, Rushing TD's allowed I think the Bills pass defense ranks 12 - 15 against the pass. that depends on what you fill it with. Methinks it will do this place a big favor. Playing better? He might be doing a few things a bit better, but the PPG is way down ~ 18 compared to ~ 24 ppg Would you not say that the PPG is really reflective of not running the ball as well as we did last year as much as anything else? The fact that TT is playing consistant good football without a dominant run game I think should be a good reflection on TT.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 Week 4 Bills records past 10 years: 3-1 2-2 2-2 2-2 2-2 2-2 3-1 0-4 1-3 4-0 1-3 No playoffs. After any of those starts. It's way too early to beat your chest.
Dr. Who Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I didn't know you could get paid to hate Tyrod.

The fact that TT is playing consistant good football without a dominant run game I think should be a good reflection on TT. That could very well be. Somehow we managed more ppg with a lousy Defense. head scratcher. The consistency is there and he's making small strides to improve the small things. I'm not quite there, feeling comfortable with a lead in the 4th QTR I didn't know you could get paid to hate Tyrod. I'm missing out on $?
Dr. Who Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I'm missing out on $? Just surmising as the OP is asking about professional TT haters. And I've been giving it away for free all these years . . .

HappyDays Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 by know means I don't usually point out grammar errors, but really?

Your not comfortable because the last 2 years your used to seeing them piss the small leads in the 4th quarter away. These bills just feel different to me
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I'm not a 'professional Taylor hater, but it's not like he's the reason we are 3-1 right now. We are 3-1 because of the defense, ST and coaching. And Taylor for the most part is playing like he has the last few years but now has a significantly better defense to compensate for his (still) glaring flaws. The real test comes with Taylor in crucial Nov/Dec games, and if this team should make the playoffs does anybody really believe he's going to win games there and get the Bills to a SB?? And here I figured playing 3 of the past 4 Super Bowl participants in a row, with 2 on the road, was a real test.

These bills just feel different to me I feel you it with you John. Sometimes that feeling in your stomach isn't good and you need to take a trip to "the cheater". And here I figured playing 3 of the past 4 Super Bowl participants in a row, with 2 on the road, was a real test. it is a test. We are only up to chapter 4 of a 16 chapter book. Each of the 3 groups is evaluated evenly. 33% for the D, 33 % for the O and 33% for ST's. and no there are no glossy 8 x 10's to look at.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 I didn't know you could get paid to hate Tyrod. agreed. where can I apply ?
oldmanfan Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 bottom line Taylor has played well enough for them to win but by know means should he be considered the long term solution. And by know means should he enter a spelling bee

Pretty sure even the most ardent TT hater would have a smile on his face if the Bills were on TV in mid January. yes I would . and I don't hate I think they can and should do better. For now I root for him every week. I cheer when he makes a great play out of nothing and throw my hands up when he holds the ball too long and misses wide open receivers.
bobobonators Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) The passing offense is 31st in the league. Rushing is 16th. Scoring is 23rd. The offense has not been good. The Bills are winning because of the defense. when this team was 8th in offense last year (at one point 6th in the NFL deep into the season), TT still wasn't getting any respect here; if anything, people stated we needed MORE offense b/c "elite QB's are able to win games when their defense gives up 30+ points a game." So I don't find it surprising to hear now that the team is winning despite of TT. To recap: Bills are top 10 or near top 10 in the NFL in scoring last two seasons: "Bills are scoring in spite of TT" Now the Bills are winning but scoring is down: "Bills are winning in spite of TT" TBD logic.

oldmanfan Posted October 2, 2017 Posted October 2, 2017 He's playing a very efficient game right now. Hope he keeps it up.

I understand that there is plenty of season left, but let's not act like the victories we have are hollow. First 'It was just the Jets'. Then we couldn't even muster a TD against the Panthers. Then Siemian had an uncharacteristic bad day and we benefited from referee calls, 'a gift', but we'll see who we really are next week on the road against Atlanta. Now we beat Atlanta and it's 'Well we've started well before, the real tests are in November/December'. No. Enough is enough. The Buffalo Bills are a good football team that can compete with anyone this year. It's okay to admit that.

Just so everyone knows what you are talking about, could you please explain what his still glaring flaws are?
