Hey now, I resemble that remark!

Happy holidays to you and yours also Hopeful.

Judging by your signature, I would think you'd espoused your opinion as the last word many o' times.

This is a whole 'nother discussion but I am not giving up on a coaching staff after one season. That's just me.

I've said it earlier in this thread, agreed on both accounts.

Again, you're not dealing in reality. You are saying that a player cannot progress. Your life must be loads of fun!

Says the guy who told the honorable Mayhem Maybin to shut up and earn his contract. Ha!!

I actually like that he came out and said something. Watkins has been coming into his own lately, and I like where he's headed.

He's still more accurate than EJ and his throws don't make me cringe every time he rears back to throw. You're another EJ fan I take it? This, exactly this. I agree with the bolded.

For me, EJ is a no, primarily on the eye test. He had flashes, but he is not accurate. Tyrod is much more accurate than EJ. First and foremost, for a QB, you MUST be accurate and that's something that is not easily taught, if it's taught at all (could be more you have it or you don't).

He's young, he can learn and grow. He's seeing most things for the first time. Practice is not like the real thing, you hear players saying that all the time. He needs to continue to get time under center to learn and grow. Eventually, the hope will be that he can process what's happening at the line and make appropriate changes. I still believe Tyrod can make the progression into a viable starting QB that can get us somewhere.

The bolded is where I would have to agree to disagree. I think the eye test is significantly in favor of Tyrod. I truly think that Tyrod can put the team on his back at times and win games i.e. Tennesee. He's had his moments when he's not lived up to the "franchise" tag but he's young and still learning. I see positives in his game and I think he continues to get better. EJ on the other hand, I never feel comfortable when the ball leaves his hand, I always feel like it's going t be too high, too low, to far behind etc. We need to stick with Taylor for another year. I think continuity is the best way to go at this point.

Intermediate game is where he needs to improve, I think he has good touch on short passes when he's asked to pass them. Problem is, I think the scheme is more about aggressive, get the ball down field to get the safties back on their heels and then pound. There's not much of the screen/intermediate passes. We're on the same boat as far as the bolded, but I think many have seen enough of EJ to say he's not the answer. I think the jury is still out and that Tyrod can certainly grow into the answer.

You are really considering starting EJ over Tyrod? What games have you been watching. I just don't get all this Tyrod hate.

EJ has shown that ability, first game of his career. You saying EJ should start?

I don't know what you guys are seeing, I definitely think we can win games with Tyrod. Tyrod is going to be just fine. Draft a QB in this draft fine, but give Tyrod one more year.

Exactly. To the OP, great analysis. Keep up the good work. I would add that we need a WR2 that is more consistent that Woods. I like him, but he's better in the slot.

I was on the same train as you. I wanted them to keep Fitzy. Also wanted them to keep Chan and the staff for one more season. The offense was pretty good under them.

Darby and Incognito should be in the Pro Bowl. Gilmore got injured but he was having a Pro Bowl year also. Would love to see Sammy there too, but I doubt that happens.

I fear it's what I said when he signed the big contract. He's may be coming down with Haynesworthitis

What he said.

What if I said 0-4 but not seriously?

What, the Bills not making it or the fans not storming? Either way, board members from here will be visiting your house if they don't make it, and board members from the Bills front office will be sending people to your house if they do make it and the fans storm the field (inciting a mob, sure to be lots of damage), bubba!

2nd chance at a dream doesn't happen very often. Hope you get the job!

I'm of the same frame of mind. When the Bills have had significant injuries this year, they have failed to rise to the occasion. Hopefully they can turn the table this week.
