1Q and Cardale looked real good???? He was terrible until he hit a wide open receiver (after Revis fell). And really you want a 70 yo coaching who was lousy since his last SB? Please no......

Great Play calling yet again......
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Who cares week 17? You open it up and see what the offense can do. This team refused to be creative for do anything with the passing game all year. I blame the OC and bad qb coaching. -
And good offensive play calling. A good oc I'm convinced is all that is needed. Good rush offense, no creativity on the passing side.

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You open it up and see what they can do on offense...... Or play it like a preseason game. This was pathetic. Personally I think proper coaching and TT is the best QB for the Bills. Simple tell him to look at Watkins and get him the ball...... -
Let's hope they are throwing the game, because to watch the complete disinterest and playcalling makes one ponder. You thought with EJ in he'd be given a chance to resurrect his career (or at least be offered a contract somewhere), but they either have shut it down or EJ is just that bad...... At least I hope this too meant Lynn is out of the HC conversation.

Punting on 4th and 3 with 4 mins to go in OT?
Billsfan1972 replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Two or three (and yes 2) it doesn't matter. It was a ridiculous call....... To defend it you have to wonder if he even knew what was on the line? -

Billsfan1972 replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is not a debate it is wrong, wrong, wrong.......Converting a 4th & 3 has to have over a 60% success rate based on the field position). Even if they don't it's on the defense to stop the Dolphins with a three and out and no fg..... The third down play has a # of easy scenarios to gain 3 yards...... -
So again they realised Watkins plays for the team
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It was second and 10, still plays available. Two plays to get 3 yards and again no question that you go for it on 4th down with the season in the balance week 16 late in OT As for TT near the goal line, again bad coaching, play calling and understanding the situation. The issue is I never have seen TT survey the field and the defense at the line. He is given a play and runs it regardless of the chance of success. The reverse was destined for failure and then the third down play was a throwaway (where 5 yards and the FG is good from 40). The QB option by the goal line had no chance wither. Your best receiver needs targets and this never changes when it comes to the Bills.. That is coaching. -
Why when targeted the team moves the ball. Why s that so difficult. Of course come ot again for him when in red zone or on a simple third and three. Two options then him or clay. But the most frustrating thing is seeing TT at the los never reads the d or assesses the play. The Reggie Bush reverse or the red zone calls being two examples.

Two timeouts. In any case 1-2 first downs and the season is over. Stupid call. If you can't trust your offense to get 3 yards.... Btw they converted fourth down on Clays TD. -
Does/can Taylor read defenses
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A great comment by Trent Dilfer, which was posted before the season started and seems to have not changed. “We forget these coaches are supposed to be teachers," Dilfer said. "And when they’re not, it affects the players. And unfortunately, the NFL doesn’t have all good teachers. There are a lot of guys who have coached and have ‘OC’ by their name—it doesn’t mean they can teach. Usually you can tell if a quarterback’s being developed right by what his eyes and feet are doing. That offense doesn’t have a real flow to the passing game. The feet and the eyes don’t always match what’s going on downfield. That’s not a Tyrod Taylor issue. That’s a coaching issue.” So I don't blame TT, that is all on coaching. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Never see him look at Watkins or the defense covering him. The question was whether he changes plays at the los. I don't see it. -

And then forgot him the second half. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's what I see. Never looks at Watkins (and I mean never!!) and not sure I once have felt the play was changed at the line. For instance if a run is called and the defense has 8 in the box, it's still a run...... -
I know it sounds stupid, but I watch and wonder whether TT reads the defense when he gets to the LOS. Does the OC allow him to audible? He is great in eluding the rush and running the ball, but it seems that there is no ability to change plays at the line of scrimmage, look at the defense or coverages and that the play is the play is the play and TT has no say whatsoever. Yes I look at Watkins every time and where he is lined up and whether he should be targeted. It seems obvious almost always as to whether TT will even look in his direction. Also would like to see the team hurry up on offense every once in a while.

Wow, Watkins healthy and 3 targets......
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How stupid is that????? If he is healthy you throw to him. Sure I can understand a snap count, but again it was just stupid seeing him not in on third downs and if anything as soon as they got to the LOS you could read that it was stacked and Jax was prepared for runs. -
Wow, Watkins healthy and 3 targets......
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's what I don't get either. Does TT not adjust at the LOS? Is he on a short leash with the OC? I watch the Bills at the LOS and and I swear they've never audibled or used hand signals. The first 26 minutes Sunday Jacksonville knew the defense to call and the Bills refused to adjust. -
Wow, Watkins healthy and 3 targets......
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That is such a simple playcall (back to back catches by SW), that it should be available 2-3X's/game minimum. Other teams do it over and over. That is why I don't get it. -
Wow, Watkins healthy and 3 targets......
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He was on the field but TT wasn't looking at him and few plays thrown to him. I really don't get how he was on the field more then expected (and taken out on a # of third downs) and this is a bad thing. Until the last quarter of last year he was woefully under-utilized. The first 2-3 games this year was the same thing. You have to trust your best player and design plays for him. There are simple throws that can be made and soften up the defense (ie. his second catch or a back shoulder timing pattern). -

More then the QB. The OC and schemes are terrible too. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Every QB and Offense in the league is capable of a 300 yard passing game but the Bills. Makes absolutely no sense. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But if the play is not called for him and he is the third checkdown it's too late. He should be the primary or #2 option. 18 throws (19 if you include the PI and he was targeted 22% of the time). Again this is a replay from 2015. -
Wow, Watkins healthy and 3 targets......
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is no different from last year and watching TT get the LOS and not even look at SW and always have him lined up outside (seldom in the slot). YAC last year was lousy too. A new OC and seems exactly the same playcalling. How the Bills continually rank near the bottom in passing seems to be a result of the most vanilla pass routes & schemes imo. -
Wow, Watkins healthy and 3 targets......
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nope according to cbssports & espn, 3 targets, 3 catches..... One 12, one 6 & one 62..... Not sure TT looked at him any other time. Yes & one PI you're right........ So add another 18 yards. Sorry first play of the game should have been a throw to him announcing the Jax that he's back....... -
Quite the offensive game plan. You have your best player back and Bill looked at him 3 times all day (and once back to back). This is pathetic.... Yes it is the old "You have a Ferrari but only take it out in the 25mph school zone. Conversely they did win the game, but yet again a struggle and little in the way of offense as Jacksonville knew what the Bills were running every play.
