There's no hope for you, but at least you didn't use a seven period ellipses in this post.

Not funny at all. It's incredibly annoying. The EJ ship has sailed, that's for sure, but he's not nearly as bad as most people think.

Well said.

I'd like to think that this stat, our lack of YAC, and our inept two minute drill hold more water about our passing game than any other nonsense that tries to fluff them up. In all three losses we were down late, had a crucial drive or two that NEEDED conversions, and we crumbled. I don't know who to blame, the college offense style, or the QB that panics if his first read isn't open and refuses to throw passes to lead his receiver. This offense boils down to this: If we run well, we have a chance to win. If we don't, we lose. There is no in between.

Closer to the actual score than the 10 point win someone predicted earlier in the week.

This and the anti clutch stats have confrimed my feeling that Tyrod is not leading receivers and that it really hurts you late in a game when they know you're going to pass.

Several people wanted him to bring in someone better BEFORE the season.

Yep. No matter the color of the jersey, he will lay you out.

As I understand it, do not count on him playing at all this season.

I understand that we're in an exceptionally long playoff drought, but have you really forgotten what good QB is supposed to look like? He was not good in the second half and I never thought we had a chance once the Dolphins took the lead. I have no idea why you're bringing up 3rd downs as a positive. Tyrod created phantom pressure and stopped going through his reads on consecutive third downs, and took a costly sack on another. While I've got your attention, the proper use of an ellipses is three periods. It's been bugging me and I wasn't sure if you knew that or not.

I appreciate the effort, but your bias bleeds through in nearly every comment. To conclude that Tyrod showed progress is shocking, to say the least. He may not have been as bad as people are saying, but progress? Come on, man.

No one said anything about us being thin at WR before the season so this is a complete shock to us all... /s

See, I told you guys Whaley had a solid contingency plan...

Not sure what the bit about Trump even means, but let me remind you that the Bills are 4-28 in our last 32 games vs the Patriots.

Our DB's do their job well when we get pressure. The Dolphins were running well yesterday and it made it more difficult to rush the passer. It's a vicious cycle, but I think the game was lost in the trenches on Sunday, not in the air. The Jets game is maybe the only time in the last 10+ games where you can blame the secondary. I will say that Gilmore's worst skill is tracking the ball in air, and that's probably the most frustrating thing to see an athlete screw up over and over.

Tyord has a backwards risk/reward mentality. He's all about playing it safe, even when it's illogical to. When it's time to air it out, he has to know that risks are now worth taking. He doesn't see the reward in the risk taking as much when the game is on the line. I had thought that he figured it out in Kansas City last year, and he seemed to be taking shots all over the field...but then we got down in the second half and he crumbled. That's when I first lost faith in him. Then I believe it was the Eagles game where I knew we had seen his ceiling, and now we're just playing out the clock with this guy. If our run game is going and the defense is playing opportunistic, Taylor will lead you to a four game winning streak. If either the run game is stifled or the defense play poorly, kiss it goodbye. He's the QB with the most built-in excuses throughout the drought. He two hopped a ball in the flat to Felton in the third qtr (may have been the fourth, I can't remember) and if it was EJ throwing it you'd see an animated gif on the front page. I've seen enough of Tyrod falsely sense pressure and give up on his progressions on third downs.

...and you're a ray of sunshine. Seriously though, you're incredibly delusional if you think fans are more of a problem in a team winning or losing than a QB on the field. I'm sick of the "eternal optimist" Bills fan that acts holier than thou. It's just as bad as the blatant negativity and serves as nothing more than annoying hypocrisy. If you think Tyrod Taylor is above criticism, great - you're entitled to that opinion. I'm also entitled to disagree.

Was Tom Brady running with the football? You realize they are totally different plays, right?

Sadly, as others have said, it's unlikely the league will really do anything here. If our team sent a message it would have been a motivating factor because they would be avenging their teammate and brother. I doubt it will happen, but the Bills should make Landry fear going out on the field when they come to Buffalo later in the year.

On the topic of no retaliation from our players...do you think anyone on our roster will remember this when we have our second meeting in Buffalo?

On what planet did he excel on the final drive? Most of our first downs were from penalties...

100%. It was dirty.

Really? In the moment? He lined up in the slot and sprinted right at Williams, taking a shot at his head (which he had to leap to hit). Not only was Aaron defenseless, but Landey had plenty of time to consider how to block him. I thought it was one of the dirtiest things I'd seen in a long time.

He pretty blatantly went for Williams' head. He took a cheap shot at a guy with a history of a neck injury. If the league really wants to act like they care, that crap has to be eliminated. I was sort of disappointed to see such a little retaliation from our team. Update: No fine yet for Landry. Players typically are informed on the Thursday following games if they will be suspended or fined. According to this PFT article, a fine is still possible because the Dolphins are in a bye week. Update 2: Ian Rapoport is reporting via twitter that Landry was fined 24k on Tuesday. Here's the tweet: @RapSheet Sources: #Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry was fined $24,309 for an illegal crackback -- his hit on #Bills S Aaron Williams. Letter sent on Tuesday
