lol I just gave you the factual evidence. It's up to you whether you accept it or not. They went 8-8 a year ago, not 1-15. With no significant departures (especially on offense).
To me it just seems as if you're making excuses for the coaches by saying the players just aren't talented enough (which is likely false).
A (much) improved defense (from 24th in DVOA to 10th) and an offense not regressing (9th in DVOA in 2015). That would be enough for a 2-3 win improvement.
Considering it is year #2 in both schemes which usually means improvement, it was not a far-fetched idea.
It depends on how they lose tonight.
If the offense is as inept as it was on Sunday and Taylor is a nervous nelly in the pocket and can only read half the field, then I will say see ya.
If the offense is much better and Taylor looks much better and they just lose because the Jets played out of their minds or Carpenter missed a kick or the refs blew a call - then I'll be back.
The Ravens' staunch defense has one defender to cover both Watkins and Woods. Woods running a go route down the middle with no safety on his side...
Here you see Taylor in a throwing motion to what should be Woods for an easy touchdown and 7-0 lead. But no, he's checking down to Shady (and nearly killing him in the process).
Guess he was giving what the Ravens amazing D were giving him.
You know...forcing him to "be a quarterback."
It's too late. The Pegula's should have hired Hue Jackson and retained Schwartz as DC.
But no - they were enamored with Rex's jokes during his interview.
Might as well keep now for his defense and replace Roman with a coach with innovative ideas from the year 2016.

The #Bills are waiving Glenn Gronkowski today to make room for Jerome Felton, source said. One FB in, one FB out.

Keeping the ball away from an average-at-best quarterback. That was a great game plan in 1971.
The saddest part of all is that you're likely right. These coaches are meathead dinosaurs stuck in the stone ages. The players and fans deserve better.
It speaks volumes that the Ravens' game-plan was to "make Taylor be a quarterback." They spent four years developing him and didn't make a huge push to retain him.
There's not much respect for Taylor as an NFL Quarterback in that franchise. Looks like they were right about him.
My hope is that Sammy ripped Roman and Tyrod a new one yesterday and does it again in the film room.
Our fourth best wide receiver from last season looks pretty good on a new team.
The receivers are not just fine - they're good. It's the system and quarterback.
A bad quarterback can make an average OLine look terrible.
Taylor was a very bad quarterback yesterday. There were plenty of opportunities there when the OLine allowed him time but he wouldn't pull the trigger. His reads are painfully slow and he still has no anticipation. It's incredibly disappointing.
