I mean, I can't even count how many times in these 2 games alone I'm just thinking to myself "Well, there's are throw Tyrod doesn't try" or "There's a throw I haven't seen Taylor make in 3 years." And it's tough to watch because it is so frustrating. Sure, Brady makes throws because he's great. But these other journeymen QBs are making throws that I have never seen Tyrod attempt, let along make. Our passing game has been remedial at best for years now. Time to stop settling for terrible and expect better. Whatever you need to do come draft time......if you believe a guy will be great, do whatever it takes to get him. The position is everything in this sport. 1

I won't post for a week if I lose! You and NoSaint both keep bringing up that bet. Why? You mad that I won both of those light-hearted fun bets? Or are you mad that despite the fact that you and your ilk were shouting from the mountaintop for a couple years that there was no way we'd make the playoffs with Taylor under center? I wonder if us making the playoffs was bittersweet for you since one of your foundational beliefs was proven wrong. Or does your bitterness go back to when I said there was no way Peterman was winning a "QB competition" in TC? Or does it go back to me saying we weren't really very likely to draft a QB early last year? Or does it go back to me saying McDermott as a new HC last year was much more likely to keep Taylor as his QB for another year or two? Honestly are you just mad at me all the time because I've been right so much that deep down it scares you like a small child knowing that I've been saying I think it's unlikely Tyrod is just cut before his roster bonus is due, a bit more likely that he's traded likely in a package to move up in the draft, and probably about as likely McDermott decides to keep Taylor for another year, especially after the Dabol hire, which I believe makes it more rather than less likely Taylor's still under center in 2018? If that scares you, don't worry, I also steadfastly believe we're drafting a QB in the first, probably through a trade up. And I think that QB will be given every opportunity to start sooner rather than later

Teddy KGB Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Another bad week for the #cot THE franchise qb vs 26/32 352 yard 3 td Nick Foles. Shoulda hired Foles as the bridge.
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Hey transplant, look who's going to his 8th Super Bowl. We need a better QB.
row_33 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 The fumble off the trick play was the only time I thought it might be curtains for the Pats, but they got the ball back quickly.

Marrone and Hacket, how could I think they could run an offense long enough and well enough to outscore the Pats for a full 60 minutes
Billsfan1972 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Bortles played out of his mind for a half and then as expected slowly regressed and was Bortles again...... Foles threw for 350+ yards and put up eye-popping 2013 stats........ I dream a Bills qb is capable of that...... Yes you need a franchise competent QB........

I think the Jags got away from Bortles too much. He was really in rhythm and then they came out first drive after half time.... got into field goal range and immediately went into the Hackett Bills era run, run, pass, kick routine. After that most of the throws they asked him to make were 3rd and long rather than letting him take shorter gains on 1st and 2nd down. It was a lot of the things McDermott and Dennison were criticised for in Buffalo this year.

It was a lot of the things McDermott and Dennison were criticised for in Buffalo this year. I was chided for mentioning that during the game and it was true. Hackett called a brilliant game at times and later on went into his stupid mode as he called for 2x runs at midfield only to keep putting Bortles in 3rd and long until he eventually failed. Then with the team backed up in their own end zone he calls for 2x passes and a run on 3rd and long. It's as if Hackett was intent on taking Bortles out of his rhythm. All this makes me think that perhaps Bortles isn't half as bad as he looks at times and could really use a quality OC over Hackett, Greg Olsen. It makes me wonder what OCs like Doug Pederson, Pat Shurmur would do for him. In any event, if Tom Coughlin saw what we all saw then I think somethings will change and it won't be their QB.

Billsfan1972 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I don't know why they thought 20 points was enough. NE's D was not particularly good and many were simple short passes (a few nicer one's too). Yes it was almost as if I was watching Dennison & McDermott.......

This is what happens when the QB is not completely trusted. You get the lead and take your foot off the gas because you don't want that QB to throw the other team back into the game. It's good logic and works most of the time, but not against the Patriots.
