Bleeding Bills Blue

300 yards!

Wow carpenter

One of brandon's cronys! Drain the swamp!! Clean house!! Make Buffalo Great again!!

I have no knock on the guy - he seems poised and has a good arm. My only thing is - people brought it up after that Thursday game. And in that game he didn't really do anything.

Yeah - that NE game Peyton made a few plays in the first quarter. Then refused to throw that back breaking pick that NE was looking for.

I watched the game - and it was totally a Tyrod style game. 150 yards passing 1 td 1 int. The won because they had enough of a run game, and got some big plays on defense. Outgained 470 to 286 on offense. And we're praising the QB? They got 7 first downs through the air and 15 total. 33% on 3rd down. What are people praising?

Neither were very good tacklers. Byrd had other in the box safeties, so he was more the center fielder.

Who is he considered better than? Fitz/Petty Browns mess Brock O. Bortles Where does that leave Flacco, Luck, Siemien, mariota, rivers, a. smith, tannehill, dalton... that they aren't being ALL considered better than TT for this game? Weird.

We needed a pass rusher - that was clear. He had a 1st round grade by most people's opinions. He was probably the #2 pass rusher, but Ogbah wasn't far behind. To many who would've liked WR's, none of them really stood out as 1st round talents - thus that would be a reach. Everyone talks Fuller, but we were much more likely to draft size in Treadwell (who fell because he was slow at the combine), or Doctson (not a great route runner). I think we got a solid contributor in the mid-late first round. That he was on defense means everyone considers it a Rex pick. The fact really was that outside of a couple top end offensive players, this was a defense heavy draft. Missing camp and a ton of practice definitely hurts. He didn't get a chance to work much against NFL tackles/guards, practice different rush moves, or learn the defense. For that reason i think its a tad early to be worried.

I look at it like ur abandoning ur brothers before the biggest game many of them might ever play... just wait til a qb does it. How much can 1 day of insurance with like a 10 mill payoff possibly cost a rich university? Maybe use some of that money u make off of their jersey sales and bring back NCAA football video games. Pool that money as some kind of insurance policy for players.

Not sure EJ was that guy - but i don't know why we never tried it. I like it though. Get a guy who just runs our 2 minute offense. If Tyrod gets hurt - we just play no-huddle the rest of the game. We can also plug him in at the 2 minute warnings and cycle them in and out if we want. Disrespects Tyrod - but if we win you'll look like a genius.

I dunno - its the last home game. The biggest negatives of going to games are the traffic, and the crazy rowdy fans. Less people = less rowdy fans and less traffic IMO. Just going to eat some good food, have a nice excuse to drink in the AM, head home sometime int he 2nd half if its not close, and go to a xmas party at night. Nice little Saturday...

Legit just bought mine on stubhub....

It's entirely possible they watched him, he was ineffective due to the injury, and took him out of the game. I suppose they could have that conversation with him, but in a game where you're getting shredded by the other team you are probably busy trying to think of a way to stop the other team.

The windows pretty tight - you have legit 2 league days.

Pro bowlers don't get benched for Alexander playing inside, spikes, and humber...

I have a light Xmas this year, just the wife and I. So we're going - even though she's a patriots fan... she really likes tailgating.

Trading him makes no sense - we'd be on the hook for the option bonus anyway. At that point you just keep him.

Disagree... if u think ur close, do whatever u can to end the drought

If we had the 49ers defense, we can win. That was the plan at least. Rex did not deliver on that front. Kc does basically the same thing with smith now. More screens and west coast concepts, but it's mostly just scoring enough to be in close games. I think Lynn will still want to run the ball, as it's a strength of our team and he's a former running back. At the same token u look around the league and see teams moving their #1 receiver all around the formation to get them the ball. Bubble screens, slot routes, mismatchs, swing routes... don't tell me we can't run these plays because of Tyrod. We don't run them because they aren't in the playbook.

It's hard to say because of the concepts they run - and the lack of attempts. Alex Smith was a 70% passer when he was benched for Kaepernick also. In 2011 Alex Smith - a good runner with a quick release was sacked 44 times. Perhaps the offense isn't condusive to QBs... Those teams won 13 and 11 games BTW... with one of the worst passing attacks in the NFL (for all the detractors who say its all the offense and the defense is fine). They won because they had a crazy good defense.

Greg roman's offense's do not pass - or have poor passing concepts. From 2011 through 2016 his offenses were in the bottom 3 in pass attempts, near the bottom in pass yards, and mostly near the bottom in passing TDs. Even with Alex smith BTW..

I'd like to see Tyrod in a different offense with more pro-style sets, route trees and concepts, and a bit of a quicker pace. G-ro's playbook is just filled with formations, but its very basic in the passing game. I'm not sure it's because we had Tyrod, or because that's what he asks his QB to do. But thats me...

OR - you need to not fall behind by having one of those tough defenses like Denver, Houston, Minnesota, or Seattle.

Always thought that guy was a gamer and could play. I don't think he's much more than a top end backup really - but hey top-end backup style QBs have won super bowls before... Brad Johnson, Dilfer, Hostetler literally was a backup.
