Unless Shady breaks one, there is no way we win this game....

About to lose this game because of Tolbert and Vlad.... Fitting, though....

The 2 Coach's pets are really coming through for us today..... Way to go Tolbert and Vlad! Living up to expectations!

Wow.....what a kick!

Man.....KB is a beast out there. We haven't had a guy like this, maybe ever. Go for 2....No way you are kicking the extra point here.

That's a heck of a throw and catch there.... wow...

2 big runs by Shady and then they give it to Tolbert...... Why does he have to play?

THERE IS NO WAY HE WAS OUT OF THE TACKLE BOX!!!!

Tolbert the drive killer is back.....man..... Did not miss this guy at all.

I know the word "Dome" gets a bad rap by many here because they think that football should be played in the elements. And, while I do agree with that to a point, today's game might be a perfect example of why a dome will be needed when our new stadium is constructed. Not only will passing the ball be next to impossible, but nobody wants to go there and sit outside to watch this game today. While it might be OK to watch it on TV, only because of the weather, there is a reason that tickets are going for $4. Nobody wants to be outside in this stuff anymore. Would it be different if we were 8-4 or 9-3? Maybe.....but man, this game has a chance to be really ugly.

If you have actually watched the college games these guys play like I and so many others here have, instead of just looking at the box scores, you will know that there is still plenty of QB talent in the draft. Just because the numbers aren't eye-popping every single week doesn't mean it's on the QBs. Dropped balls, lack of talent surrounding these guys, poor coaches and systems, among many other things may contribute to the struggles of these guys at times. But talent is talent and there are a few QBs in this class that are beyond talented enough to be great at the next level. Whether we can get high enough to pick one of them is a different story. But no....the class is not overrated. It is just being picked apart, as all QB classes are when it's their turn. Don't fool yourself....there is really good QB talent in the draft.....providing everyone comes out.

I'll just say that not all checkdowns are created equal. There are checkdowns like Tyrod throws where it is a 3-7 yard dump off to a guy standing that results in an easy tackle short of the sticks and then there are other checkdowns that are thrown by real QBs to guys sprinting across the middle, in stride that allow playmakers to make plays. When was the last time you saw Taylor throw a ball like that, regardless of what down it is? YAC don't exist with the Bills and the QB is the biggest reason for it. Just go back and watch some of the old 90s Bills. Kelly didn't always throw it down the field to WRs that were wide open to pick up 3rd down conversions (although he did this plenty when available). Kelly would have 3rd and 10, find Andre Reed streaking over the middle at 6-7 yards, hit him in stride and Reed would take it for another 30. I am not sure Tyrod has ever made a throw like that.

I realize there are a ton of holes on this team and the picks we have are very valuable. However, I have had enough with the constant passive attitude when it comes to drafting a QB. If there is a guy they love, whoever it is, I hope they do whatever necessary to get him.

Good drive by Peterman and the Bills there. Not a fan of the fade call there, though. Hate that play in general. That where a healthy KB would make a huge difference by just boxing out a defender on a slant. Don't have that big target right now.

For better or worse.....TDs or picks.... He needs to play the rest of the year.

Bills should be going no huddle here. Keep the tempo up.

Look.....I never want to see anyone get injured, but this franchise needs to be done with Taylor for the rest of the season. For better or worse, ride with Peterman. What ever happens, happens. If we get blown out every week, so be it. But Taylor needs to have taken his last snap as a Bill.

Not overall......but his recent play is just brutal.....

Taylor just threw the same ball Peterman did while getting hit. Only difference is that he was lucky and it wasn't picked. Next ball Taylor throws he misses an open target by a ton. This is about as bad of QB play as you will ever see.

One QB is just about perfect coming out of the half leading 2 TD drives.......The other has accounted for negative yardage while looking like a fool. Care to guess which one is ours?

Joe Webb > Tyrod Taylor

Tyrod has done nothing but help the Cheatriots* in the first half. Can't make simple throws. Even down 6-0.....I might consider a change if this goes much longer. You can't win when you can't score. I have no idea if Peterman can get it done, but maybe he's better coming off the bench instead of starting! HA! This team, though.....man. What I wouldn't give for a real QB on this roster. Tired of watching a QB that holds the ball too long, never throws to WRs, and even when he checks down, can't throw an accurate ball. Even if we were average at the position, we might have a chance, but this is pathetic.

If we only had a QB.......

Obviously there was a lot of confusion as to who everyone was talking about in the last few posts. To keep the board coherent, I have cleaned it up and made sure everyone is on the same page. In the end, what it comes down to if there is still any confusion, is that we all like Mayfield a lot more than Rudolph. We all think that Mayfield could be a special player in the NFL if he gets his head on straight and gets into the right situation. This Championship game has been a good example of what he can be capable of at the next level.

Mayfield just made 3 back to back to back throws against TCU that were NFL caliber. The first one he eluded a ton of pressure in the pocket, kept his eyes downfield and stuck a throw into his WR along the sideline. The next was a real stron pass over the middle between 2 defenders. And then, he caps a drive with a beautiful play action pass from under center for a TD. Pretty much everything you want to see from a QB in 3 pass plays. I would classify Mayfield's "poor judgements" as just that. I think it is more immaturity than anything else. In a vacuum, I don't think they are all that big of a deal. Should he be doing some of the stuff he's doing? Of course not. But they are not the type of actions that alienate his team. In fact, I think you could make the argument that his teammates love him even more. If you watched his last game where he was benched for the first few series, his teammates couldn't wait for him to get in there. The fans were chanting his make and were so pumped when he came in. Immature at times, yes.....but man....his teammates love him and will follow him anywhere. That's what I want in a QB.
