They were 7th in points, 12th in yards, and 1st in fewest turnovers surrendered going into yesterday's debacle. They ended up 10th in points, 16th in yards, and 3rd in fewest turnovers given up (they had 4 yesterday).
Great job, Bills org!
And at the end of the day none of this matters
My exact thoughts.
-
Tyrod Taylor says #Bills starting QB job was "taken from me." Taylor wants more explanation for why they sat him out, but wants to return.
It's easy Tyrod, the Bills wanted to see if EJ should be kept as our backup QB after this season plus protect ourselves from you getting hurt and killing our cap next year if our new HC didn't want to keep you as our starting QB.
-
Look at what the Vikings traded to get Bradford.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see a team, such as like a Denver who coupled with their championship caliber defense could entertain the thought of acquiring a QB like Tyrod as an effective option playing the game manager role. I would even venture to guess that they believe they could be in the hunt to win the Superbowl.
I don't believe it is as far-fetched as you may think
With Kubiak stepping down the Broncos may not be as hot on Taylor as initial thoughts.
-
Here is crazy thought.....
We are having a hard time finding a qb good enough in the free agent list that can replace Tyrod Taylor
How about....we just keep Tyrod Taylor
because we're not committing to Tyrod for only one season if keep him under his current contract.
-
BB endorses Landry Jones, therefore Landry will continue to suck as bad as he has sucked.
but but Bill Polian called him the best QB of his draft class. Maybe we can sign him and bring in Polian to be our football czar.

Actually, it starts March 9 at 4:00 pm.the start of the season is March 1.

You can't go back.
but we did with Lou Saban
-
Do you hire quick like we did with Marrone or hold out like we did with Chan Gailey?
I think Lynn is likely to get the job. The big question is who will be DC?
I'd hang out if meant getting Kyle Shanahan.
-
Trevor Siemian? You get all the accuracy issues with none of the athleticism. I'm not sure if you're being serious.
It gives us another QB body and a draft pick which to me more valuable than keeping Tyrod around with his current contract.
-
Frank's a nice enough guy and all but making him a HC is risky. It be a good PR move and he might have what it takes since he's been an OC the last few years but I haven't been impressed with his offenses in San Diego or Philly all things considered.
-
PR value doesn't help the team improve. I'm not saying he wouldn't be a good coach, but being a great player doesn't translate to coaching. See ' Ed Reed'
Most former players start as position coaches, we're not asking him to be a coordinator, I'd have no issues Freddie being our RB coach if Lynn were to be our HC or OC in the next few years.
-
Until we name a HC and OC I think talking QB is foolish.
If we let Tyrod walk bc we think paying him $$ that would make about the 20th highest paid QB is too much of a commitment, this org needs to fire Whaley. Seeing him go to Denver makes me want to vomit.
I can stomach a new defensive scheme/coach. I think most fans are all in there. But A new DC, OC, HC, and QB? Good luck selling that one Russ.What if we traded him to Denver for Trevor Siemian and a 3rd Round pick?
-
I think the Hue and Schwartz thing that WHaley was advocating would have worked a lot better
It is important to note that was the rumor of WHaley's first choice......had the pegs listened to him? Who knows where wew ould be right now
I think the Pegula's got dazzled by Rex's personality. As let's face it he can be very charming when he wants to be. Toss in "his love of Buffalo" also be brought in an OC who seemed to fit in with what he wanted in Roman etc.
-
It depends if Whaley wants to interview guys on teams in the playoffs it might be awhile.
-
This be ideal IMHO especially when read articles like this that he isn't married to a system. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/10/06/kyle-shanahan-nfl-coaching-carousel-list-notebookHC - Kyle Shanahan (Love his offense, and have since his Washington days)
OC - Matt LaFleur (Bring along the QB coach with a promotion)
DC - Gus Bradley (Better Coordinator than OC, runs a D that fits our personnel decently)
-
LaFleur has ties to Kyle Shanahan per https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_LaFleurNot sure if there are any relationships between these coaches, but my top choice would to bring in Mike Smith from TB to be HC. Dude has won at the NFL level and led his teams to the playoffs multiple times.
On Offense, bring in Matt LaFleur, Falcon's QB coach. He has great experience at both the college and NFL, with multiple responsibilities on the offensive side of the ball. He has coached RGIII and Matt Ryan to the best statistical years of their careers and was key to the development of Kirk Cousins.
Defensive Coordinator; try to get Rocky Seto, Assistant Head Coach/Defense, here from Seattle. He has been instrumental in the success of that defense, especially his work with the secondary.
-
No, the reporter is not the former player.A couple of questions:
Does this mean that Lynn is the HC? Because the HC will pick the DC and wouldn't only Lynn pick Thurman?
Also, is Josh Reed Josh Reed?
-
the rushing yards equate to 41 yards a game. The TDs equate to 2.4 points a game, considering we won and lost no games by less than 2 points I can debate his rushing did little to ultimately impact games. I'm sorry but he's a below average QB all things considered.But the 580 rushing yards, 6 TDs and effectiveness of the running game can't just be excluded. It's an unconventional evaluation but you HAVE to take the whole picture into account.
-
It might ultimately come down to who is named HC and OC. To me a telling stat as haven't heard many players standing up for Taylor which tells me he isn't much of a leader which many equate to great QBs.I think TT will be kept
-
Because Tyrod isn't mid level he's bottom tier. I'd rank in the late 20s in terms of passing ability. Yes, he makes plays with his legs but his rushing numbers don't make up for his lacking in the passing game. 17 TDs in 15 games is horrible.Throw out signing bonuses (that don't count against the cap) and his contract is worth exactly his level of play, average for a QB. His highest cap hit is barely $18 mil in 2021, it's short of $16 mil next year. Why restructure when it's already a mid-level contract for a mid-level QB?
-
I don't think it guarantees that Tyrod is gone, it just guarantees that the Bills have the option to move on, if the new HC isn't feeling it.
Personally, I don't think Tyrod is 'the guy', but he is talented, and better than anyone else we have available to us right now. Unless we're feeling *really* optimistic about a draft pick or Cardale, I could see him returning.
Do you think Tyrod would want to return if the team wouldn't start him specifically coming off his best game in the NFL? It's a bit of a slap of the face and I can even say that and not a Tyrod supporter.
Who is going to replace Tyrod that is any better????? The guy is elusive, extends plays and hasn't had the starting receivers together since week 2 until the last 2 games.
Sammy is on a broken foot.
The offensive philosophy is run and play defense. The guy hasn't had a great chance to get into a throwing rhythm.
I have watched the Bills for years and this is almost a replay of the Doug Flutie/Rob Johnson debacle. Johnson had one good game in place of Flutie and Buffalo had him start over Flutie against the Titans - the rest is crap history.
We've changed quarterbacks how many times since? Don't make the same mistake by jumping ship early, Tyrod can play. Re-work his contract to make it incentive laden, like all contracts should be.
If you get a rookie or some high priced free agent, the rest of the team will suffer and likely take a step back.
BTW, it wasn't Tyrod that missed tackles which allowed 3 TDs for Miami.
Who are you going to get who is better?
Which Tyrod is the real Tyrod the one who finally passed for 300 yards against Miami and finally put us ahead in the fourth quarter? or the one who struggled against the Ravens (with Watkins) against Seattle inside the 10? or the second half against Oakland. Based on the law of averages I'd predict the Tyrod we saw games 1-14 and last year was the Tyrod we should expect. If he reworks his contract I'd consider it but I can't see him wanting to do that especially after this weeks "benching".
-
Assuming we are able to keep Lynn as O.C. and are covered on the offensive side, we need a head coach to fix the defense. We know that Pettine never really had a chance in Cleveland. He did good things here. Worth a shot?
Erm we had the same issues with Pettine we had with Rex, good pass rush and half way decent passing defense but couldn't stop the run for anything.
-
A slightly taller version of Johnny Manziel. No thanks.
-
They do get Minnesota's first this year though which is still in the mid-teens as of right now.
Valid, I totally forgot but the question is do they take the RB as you eluded or a WR like Mike Williams?
