  1. The thing about Jim Kelly wasn't his stats. It was his will to win, to hang in the pocket and take a beating to get the ball out on time. So many second half comebacks.

     

    That and he called all his own plays at the line of scrimmage. He was offensive coordinator and QB all in one. That's what made him great.

  2. continuity = keep Taylor at QB, let him keep growing, keep coaching staff the same, low roster turnover

    urgency = need to show a high level of improvement/focus

     

    I like his message.

     

    It's not like they were terrible last season. Flip a couple games they should've won and they'd be in playoffs, considering Taylor missed a bunch of games they're not far away.

     

    Can Taylor stay healthy? Can Rex fix the defense? Those answers will dictate where this team ends up in 2016.

  3. The reason this team never gets anywhere is because they blow it up every 2-3 years. Now, after 1 season with a new HC and D-system they're going to blow EVERYTHING up again?

     

    It takes time, let them build the defense the way Rex wants it, I'm OK with giving them another couple of years to fill in the pieces. Blowing it up is the wrong move IMO, they're not that far away.

     

    BIll Belichick was 5-11 with NE his first year as their HC, what if they blew it up? They won the Super Bowl the second year.

    Good thread. I don't know if Tyrod is the answer but he gives this team a chance to win. Year 2 for a QB is the biggest chance at improvement so that is where I will try to find a silver lining on a disappointing day.

     

    We need to have higher standards than "he gives the team a chance to win". We're just so accustomed to watching poor QB play, that anything average is considered good enough.

     

    Well, it's not.

  5. It's not the ground and pound, it's the defense. If we we were still 4th in the NFL, led the league in sacks, led in run defense, and was scoring on offense, rushing and deep threat passing like we are today, we would be at 9-3.

     

    Remember the defense has the capability like last year to give us great field position with deep sacks where they can't make up for 3-23.
