Yea, well. When was the last time you saw the team president / marketing guy of those two pro teams in the teams cut room meetings?
Was he really on the phone with UDFA's?
Just because he's in the room doesn't mean he's telling people what decisions to make.
-
The one other real constant over the last 10 years has been this team lacking a top NFL football mind at the top of the org chart and until that happens this team will keep going around in circles. While spinning wheels and changing out schemes and players to fit those schemes.
Jury is still out on whether or not Whaley is a good enough football mind (at this point I'd say no) but he is a "football mind."

Take Transit all the way to Southwestern. Less traffic and takes you directly to the Cap.
I'm sorry but "The Cap" sounds dumb and makes no sense to me.

The D may be better, though Baltimore isn't an offensive juggernaut, nor are the jets, so we dont know on that yet. The O regressed, at least so far, badly.
It's not a far fetched idea, but that doesn't make it a likely one or supported by any evidence
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).
-
Someone with any sense please explain how on earth anyone really thought this team was even close to contending for a playoff spot. Be calm now cool-aid drinkers... use facts please. Try and explain how sub-par talent at every key position was going to get this team past 6 wins.
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.
-
They CAN NOT turn TT into a pure pocket passer...that is not his game
If that's the case then he's simply not an NFL quarterback.
-
Does anyone else think there's a chance that they went vanilla because of holding stuff on the preseason and they wanted to hold their tricks for the Jets this Thursday?
Because honestly, the TNF games really do not give you down time. And as much as I would have liked to beat the Ravens (and won a bet with a friend) I would much rather beat the Jets.
0% chance. Defenses know how to defend Tyrod and take away his tendencies. Doesn't matter if the game is close in the 4th, Tyrod can't make anything happen by himself. He needs a ridiculous effort from Sammy or Clay on a broken play
You fell for the sarcasm!
At least, I hope for his sake that it was sarcasm...
-
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."
-
Or you could just root for another team. Jesus Christ! I thought Buffalo had some of the most loyal fans???
I was wrong.
Loyal to the team. Not to the inept coaches.
-
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.
-
Probably a Dray replacement as Dray looks like a long term injury.
Look up.

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

What song is playing the background while this is being read?
Here's what I was thinking...
-
Good thing we waited for Taylor to "hit."
Oh wait...

Bush must be cut.

Goodbye, cruel world.

I'm sure they wanted to go long a few more times but things were blown up by Baltimore's pass rush. That said I think the game plan was ball control by running more and keeping the ball away from Flacco. Unfortunately the O-line couldn't open holes or pass block for schitt.
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.
-
With Taylor being a backup for Baltimore for four years, it seems the Baltimore D was more than prepared for him today. Taylor was not his usual self as he hurried a lot of his throws resulting in incompletions and seemed to be stuck on just his first reads. IMO, playing against his old team got the better of Taylor today.
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.
-
when does Sammy complain about lack of targets?
My hope is that Sammy ripped Roman and Tyrod a new one yesterday and does it again in the film room.
Outside of Sammy, we the receiving options are pretty weak.
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.
-
Next year's starting QB for the Bills? Tom Brady!
It will only cost us a first round pick and our offense will look pretty good for half a season.
Patriots have too much respect and appreciation for Brady to ever trade him to such a terrible franchise.
-
Next up is the Jets. You have Fitz coming in and the Jets which is a big contrast to the Bills. Maybe Fitz is erratic and inaccurate at times but the coaching staff shows some confidence and guts to open it up a little. The Bills need to do this with TT or the season will be over after the first 4 games.
If Taylor had Fitz's guts he'd be the franchise QB we need. Instead, we have an athletic Trentative Edwards.
-
I will allow the kids and casual fans here to go on and on with "it's just one game", or "Hey, we just need one guy to", etc etc etc....
To those of us who have been around a while.......the manner in which we played this game has us more bent out of shape than the actual Loss itself.
Exactly.
Capaccio: Bills' D is "Fully Pregnant"

Fully pregnant is right. Looks like it could come out any day now.
