Good thing we waited for Taylor to "hit." Oh wait...

Bush must be cut.

Goodbye, cruel world.

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.

Patriots have too much respect and appreciation for Brady to ever trade him to such a terrible franchise.

If Taylor had Fitz's guts he'd be the franchise QB we need. Instead, we have an athletic Trentative Edwards.

Exactly.

Ravens did not look like a quality football team yesterday. I'd be very surprised if they won more than 7 games.

Ravens knew exactly what Taylor is. That's why they recognized he was barely even worth having as a backup.

Today's team looked like 3-13.

You've got to be kidding me. This was as bad an offensive performance as we've seen over the last ten years (that's saying something) and you're here trying to put perfume on a pile of fresh poo.

How do you know the Ravens are good? They didn't look good at all today. The Bills just looked worse. These are two losing teams.

Because that's quite the percentage. I would think an average team would get 75-80% tops. I didn't think anyone aside from the worst team in the league would get a prediction that poor from NFL writers.

Funny. That's the one that was legit.

Only 1 out of 40 experts polled by newyorkupstate.com predict the Bills will make the playoffs. 98% of NFL writers/experts from NFL.com, PFF, ProFootballTalk, USA Today, CBS, ESPN, etc. who do this for a living do not think the Bills are a Top 6 team in the AFC. Amazing. http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2016/09/2016_nfl_predictions_only_1_of_40_national_experts_say_bills_make_playoffs.html

There should be a difference between a 15 yard pass interference and a 15 yard ejection-worthy personal foul/unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. They shouldn't be treated equal. If that shot had occurred after the whistle they would have applied the penalty and then the personal foul and it would have been first-down Panthers. That's what they should do. Treat the personal foul like its own entity and not part of the game, regardless of when it occurs.

I'm sorry but this is absurd. Then I guess Newton really should have been called for spearing when he used the crown of his helmet to hit the defender in the head after all.

Thanks. If that one wasn't called then that was a huge screwup.

His injury last year wasn't some anomaly. It was his own fault attempting a dumb shoulder tackle. He hasn't played a full season since his rookie year. That's legitimately concerning if you're looking to invest that much in a player.

Agreed. As good as Gilmore may be, he has to prove that he can last a full season and if God willing Bills ever play in January that he'll be available. Otherwise he's worthless.

I am trying to be argumentative - and you are correct. I still haven't seen a gif from last night where Newton should've received a call but didn't. Anyone?

If anything, spearing could have been called on Newton here. The defender is leading with his shoulder while Netwon is putting his head down and hits the defender square in the side of his helmet.
