Wait, are you actually saying that Taylor is calling the offensive plays in the second half?

 

Right. We called 9 passes.

 

26 passes called in the 1st half.

 

9 in the 2nd half.

Second half was 12 run plays

9 pass plays

2 kneel downs

 

Take away the kneel downs at the end and they only ran 21 second half plays of which 9 were passing plays. I dunno, I don't see any issue at all.

But WE ARE A RUN ORIENTED team.  

 

Why is that?  

 

Clearly that's a rhetorical question, so please, tell me why?  0:)

This is a messed up comment considering who is saying it. This thread should have died off long ago but yet here you are still trying hard to push this garbage thread along . Are you and JM related in any way? SMH

You really do talk about Taylor A LOT...  I already glanced at your posting history.

 

At this point, I bet you have double the posts around the subject of Tyrod Taylor than I do total posts over the span of the just the 9 months that the two of us have been members here.

 

The thing is, I really don't care... it's a message board... people can talk about whatever the hell they want to... just go to the threads you want to have a conversation in.

 

You're just ALWAYS in the Taylor threads.  And one of your go-to arguments is "why are we talking about this again?  We're beating a dead horse."

 

Just pretty funny hypocrisy is all.

what's funny here is this is coming from someone who has 100's of taylor posts and made numerous taylor threads yet here he is giving another poster a hard time because, well, he's in his little thread.

 

honestly, you have been more hot air than anything else when it comes to taylor, like an obsession. I know, you'll come back at me, cry the old you don't need to be here either but I couldn't resist with such a hypocritical post as the one above.

 

hypocrite.

you mad, bro?

 

Funny, I've been out in the open that I talk about Taylor a lot.

 

I enjoy the discussion.

 

I don't think I've ever once uttered the phrase "beating a dead horse" on this board or over at BBMB like Shady and you do regarding any discussion I'm actively participating in.

 

 

Don't like the discussion.

 

Stay out of it.

 

Think a discussion is old and tired and worn.

 

Stay out of it.

Most teams run the ball when they are up two scores in the second half. Didn't everyone kill the Falcons last year for throwing too much in the second half of the Super Bowl which allowed the Pats time to get back in the game?

 

I mean, we should probably throw a little more than we do when up by two scores, but that mostly just comes down to the offense being super obvious. LIke Dennison only throws the ball on third and long in the second half. It wouldn't be an issue if our rushing attack was better. 

 

While you might call it conservative, doesn't running the ball also wear down the defense? Aren't they trying to move the ball while also keep the clock running? I just don't by the assessment you are making. I'd like to see some other stats of other QBs, and how often they throw in the second half up two scores. 

And if I counted correctly, the bills are 3-0 this year when they were up by 10 and used this approach.  So it might not be exciting and it certainly can be stressful, but if it works, it's a good strategy.  Now if they can only get out to a big lead quickly, we are gold n.

Hypocrite, eh?

 

You say I'm full of hot air despite at least bringing in new perspective and evidence into what might be a stale discussion to some while you come into just every conversation to say...

 

 

well...

 

not much at all.

 

 

But I'm the hypocrite? :doh:

 

 

To those, like you, who are sick of those conversations, stay out.

 

Yet, right now you're saying you won't stay out. Why is that? Are you some kind of self-appointed watchdog? The TBD Gestapo?

 

Relax old-timer.

Think it'll work against Tom Brady on Sunday if we manage to go ahead by a couple scores? :flirt:

SO.. how good would have Stafford or Eli have been if they ever had a running game or back like McCoy?

 

Running game or running back?

 

Which one?

 

Shady's having the worst year of his career despite not appearing to lose a step.

 

As you see this year... the OL kinda matters in the running game... and ours sucks.

 

 

Stafford & Eli would get killed with our line.

Not a clue where you're getting your information from, but the only one you got right is that he's 10th when they're 1 or 2 yards.

 

He's 8th from 3-7 yards.

http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?range=NFL&rank=048&type=Passing&year=2017

 

He's 15th when 8+ yards.

http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?range=NFL&rank=047&type=Passing&year=2017

 

 

Seriously? I'm wrong? You don't have a clue (you got that right, actually) about where I'm geting my information from? That's pretty sad, Transplant. Typical, but sad.

 

Why? Why do you not know where I got that? Seriously, why?

 

Here's what you said about the place where I found that. You said, "This is a really nice find, Hap." A page or two back. In this thread.

 

It's in the article about ALEX that Happy Days posted and you replied to and repeated the link.

 

I shouldn't be surprised. That's your typical method, isn't it? Find something. Look for the part that might be used to cast a good light on Tyrod. And then ignore or forget the rest. I shouldn't be surprised, 

 

So I got all of them right. Again, the short ones are the ones he's converting. 10th in the league when they're 1 or 2 yards, 14th when they're 3 or 4 yards and 17th when longer. The longer they are the further down the list he slips in percentage of success. And again, from the same article, 29th out of 38 QBs this year in terms of ALEX. Only 11 guys averaged throwing less than as far as the sticks on third down. Tyrod was one of these 11.

Stafford and Eli would throw on time, unlike Tyrod. Not that the o-line is very good, but part of the reason they are having problems is that on plenty of plays Tyrod holds it too long. This is exactly one of Tyrod's main problems.

If the Bills fire Dennison and keep TT, we'll hear retroactive excuses about how he's never had the same OC and how much that's crippled his growth. The cycle will always continue. 

 

 

 

Yup. 

 

Last couple of years we heard all about how awful Roman was and how he was holding Tyrod back. Now under Dennison they're saying, "See, Rico is killing the offense. Look at how awful the running game is now. It's just like Dak Prescott. Prescott is good with Elliott, and terrible without. See? Same with Tyrod. If only he had a real running game, no telling how good he would look.

 

And Tyrod keeps producing at nearly the exact same rates.

Well I dunno, but it doesn't help that 4 out of 12 of our drives ended because of a called run.  3 of those were stuffed for 2 yards or less.  The other was a 4 yard gain...

 

on 3rd and 6  :thumbdown:

 

 

No, but one of those drive-ending runs came on 3rd and 11 with two minutes left in the game. We just wanted to make KC spend their last time-out so we tried a QB draw and Tyrod was caught for -1 yards. We were just burning clock. 

 

 

 

And I looked at your math, 4 out of 12 drives ended because of a called run, and I thought, jeez, doesn't that mean some ended on a called pass, too? I'm no Blaise Pascal, but I coulda sworn it did. After a few hours on the computer checking this assumption, I found I was right.

 

So yeah, it didn't help that 4 out of 12 of our drives ended because of a called run. Nor did it help that after you remove the TD and the four runs you referred to above, the other 7 drives ended in called passes.

 

Three incompletions, an eleven yard sack on a 3rd-and-one, and three completed passes that didn't make first downs. That includes a 3rd-and-nine completed for seven yards and a 3rd-and-four completed for three yards.

 

Glad we did so much better on those called passes. Oh ... wait.
