Taylor is 4-3 this year with 9 passing TD's, 2 INT's and 2 rushing TD's with 869 yards of offense this year after 7 games. What's more important than winning the game with his arm is not losing the game with turnovers. The young man is doing exactly what's asked of him and his HC has even stated that the team needs to run the ball for the team to win games. It sure isn't Taylor's fault if he is the team's leading rusher with 7 attempts for 35 yards.

So what? We all know he isn't at an elite level just yet. The time to revisit this thread is at the end of the season to see if the kid has further developed. No QB's in the league would play well with a suspect right side of the line, without his two best WR's and without their elite RB. Take away Julio Jones, Devonte Freeman along with a weak right side of the line and see how Matt Ryan plays. EDIT: OH WAIT! That happened to the Falcons in 2013 when they went 4-12!

Belichick will watch the film on what Jay Ajayi did to that Bills D-line and just pound the rock with Blount to the tune of about 130 yards. Meanwhile, Hogan, Gronk, and Edelman will all probably have 100 yards each receiving. If those craptastic Dolphins lines can bully the Bills lines like they did against Buffalo then I think the Bills are in serious trouble. No McCoy and the team falls on its face again this week. Hey, on any given Sunday...except against the devil himself!!

For the love of god, it's been so long since the team had a QB who could throw for 225 yards one TD passing, one TD rushing and managed to do this with NO TURNOVERS!! He is not a Geno, not a Fitz but a guy who has had exactly 20 game starts and is still learning, developing as he goes. I might add it's nearly impossible to properly develop a young QB with no ground game and no solid receivers besides a decent, but not great TE. Tyrod needs a better offense around him besides two injured starting WR's, and elite RB that is injured and the right side of his line that plays like a sieve at times. There is a real reason why Dak Prescott looks so good as he is playing behind the league's best O-line with the league's best RB to help support the offense. It's going to be difficult for the Bills FO to determine if TT is worth the extra money if the supporting cast doesn't get healthy to help him improve.

I happen to love Tyrod Taylor even with his limited ability to "want" to make every throw. Considering just how crappy the wide receiver corps is at this point and also taking into consideration that the 2016 Bills are a run-first team. A run-first team that is predicated on being able to effectively move the ball on the ground and currently the Bills have only one single RB that can make that happen... is currently injured. The defense works well with a run first team that helps keep them fresh and on the sidelines while limiting their time on the field. Too much time on the field and the defense has a meltdown like we saw with the Jets and the 4th quarter of the Miami game. Still, Tyrod outplayed a supposed Miami franchise QB in tallywhacker in yards throwing, rushing and in TD's! We know that the current Bills QB is limited and the coaching staff and GM should be able to find quality talent at RB other than just one guy! Last year the Bills had Karlos Williams who filled in admirably and this offseason turned himself into a bloated loser who is now on the Steelers P.S. The Bills can win games even against good teams with a 100% healthy Shady McCoy and it might just be easier to find another top elite RB over an elite franchise QB.

As LeSean McCoy goes, so do the Buffalo Bills it seems. If Shady isn't 100% and can't bring his "A" game than the Bills have a very difficult time getting the run game going and thus the defense is out on the field for far too long. Last year McCoy missed four games with a hamstring problem and it looks like it could be worse this year. I can see the Bills losing to the Patriots and Seattle to go 4-5 at the bye week and it's going to really depend on if McCoy is 100% after that bye. The Bills have some very winnable games after the bye week and it all comes down to being able to run the ball effectively. @Cincy Jacksonville @Oakland Pittsburgh Cleveland Maimi @NY Jets However, considering the entire team's ability to win games is predicated on having a strong rushing attack, with little or no run game... the Bills might not win another game this year.

The system didn't fail him the Buffalo defense did!!! Tyrod had better stats than Tallywhacker!! In that game, Tyrod had one TD passing one TD rushing! Dunno how much more he can do as he can't pass the ball and catch it at the same time! The biggest difference in the game was the Bills defense allowing Ajayi 214 yards rushing. It's like the Bills defenders forgot how to tackle in the fourth quarter!

Bills fans have a perfect right to complain about the defense this week as it was supposed to improve with Lawson and Dareus playing. Instead, it was embarrassingly bad in allowing some scrub RB to rush for 214 yards along with a 53-yard run because Bills players couldn't make a tackle. It wasn't like they hadn't ever seen this before as all they needed to do was watch the game tape from last week between Pitt and Mia and yet it looked like nobody on the Bills coaching staff watched that game film. Buffalo was leading this game all the way up until the fourth quarter when the Bills defense melted down. Buffalo 267 yards of offense vs Miami 454 yards of offense and most of that came on the ground. Tyrod Taylor (14 of 28 for 221 with one TD passing, one TD rushing) actually outplayed Talleywhacker (15 of 25 for 204 yards, one TD) Buffalo with 22 rushing attempts for 67 yards was abysmal without McCoy. It is over if the defense keeps playing like it did against a 2-4 team that was #21 in offense and #26 in defense previous to playing Buffalo. This was a big complaint last year that at times the defense looked very unprepared to play in some games.

If I'm not mistaken McCoy missed four games last year because of a bad hammy. He makes that offense go! Still, the Bills were leading for most of that game and the Bills defense just melted at the end.

To me, the Buffalo defense giving up 214 rushing yards to Ajayi is by far the biggest issue I have with today's game. Most of the fan base knew the Bills QB is limited and without his two best WR's and the team's star RB injured it would be a tough game. The Bills were ahead in the game until the 4th quarter and the run defense just melted.

If I'm not mistaken the league outlawed that shoulder hit to the head back in the 50's when a Cardinals player was knocking players out with vicious hits. Can't recall the name. That hit is a fine or suspension IMO.

The Miami HC admitted he had Mario in there for far too many plays and teams were mostly running on them. They finally realized that he will do much better as a 3rd down pass rusher. The right side of that line really stunk it up quite a bit as both Miller and Mills gave up some big plays! That is the difference between a high talent early round pick and a mid-round pick who will never be more than an average player.

The Dolphins rushed for 256 yards and Ajayi had 214 yards by himself with a 7.4 yard per carry average!! It was 267 yards of offense for Buffalo to 454 for Miami. This was against the 21st ranked offense in the league and their defense is ranked 26th. Time of possession 22:58 Buffalo vs 37:02 Miami. Needless to say that LeSean McCoy makes that offense work when he brings his A game and when he doesn't they have a tough time moving the ball. Yes, it doesn't help to have Sammy, Woods not playing. What bugged me about today's game was the defense wasn't able to stop Ajayi at all and his 214 yards rushing helped carry them to the win!

If you look how Carson Palmer played against the Seahawks and Panthers last year with Palmer under great pressure he threw 7 INT's in two games. Then, If you look at the teams the Bills beat last season it was all against bums at QB and lost to even average QB's. The only decent QB the Bills beat last year was Andrew Luck and he finished the year 2-5 and he was obviously injured all last year. This year QB's the Bills are yet to face include Tallywhacker, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Andy Dalton, Blake Bortles, Derek Carr, Big Ben, some Cleve scrub, Talleywhacker again, and finally Geno or Fitz. 4-6= 8-8. Which means the Bills will need to step up their game against some of the leagues better and even average QB's. Admittedly Dalton isn't playing the same without Hue Jackson at OC. Who knows if Ben Rothlisberger will still be injured or not by week 14. Let's hope the Bills defense improves with Dareus and Lawson enough to beat any of those better QB's!

Horsehockey! Some feel talking about the playoffs after six weeks is a bit early given what's happened with this team over the last 15 years. You aren't any more of a Bills fan simply because you think they will make the playoffs this season after only six weeks. Ten weeks to go and so many things can happen in those ten weeks. Nobody here is belittling the team and only reminding those optimists the history of the team. I also don't feel the need to call you a derogatory name because of that optimism. Like I suggested, let's see how the season is going to end before we talk playoffs.

great points! Chan Gailey and Dick Jauron both had longer winning streaks and what happened to both of them? In 2008 the Bills opened the season 4-0 and went on to 5-1 before crashing badly going 2-8 over the next remaining games and that year Brady went out for the season in the Pats first game! In 2011 the Bills were 5-2 until Fitz broke his ribs and Gailey kept playing him. Once the starting center went on IR so did the entire team going 8-1 to finish the season 6-10. That was after starting 5-2! This current team is a run first team who is led by LeSean McCoy who is about 70% of the offense and when he brings his A game this year the Bills don't lose. It's very doubtful that McCoy even plays and last time I looked last year's savior is currently on the Steelers practice squad. In 2014 all the Bills needed to do to make the playoffs was win against a 2-11 team and yet the Bills lost that game because they forgot how to run the ball against a team who was 32nd in run defense. It was a pathetic to see the Bills leading rushing team in the NFL from a year previous to rush 13 times for 13 yards. Kyle Orton was forced to carry the team on offense with his arm. In 2004 all the Bills needed to do to make the playoffs was win against the Steeler backup players as they were resting the starters for the playoffs. So, those backups played better than the Bills starters and won 24-29. This is the Buffalo Bills we are talking about and so many wanted Rex fired after starting the season 0-2. Let's see how the season ends, shall we?

Everything depends on Shady's hammy and if he can't go I don't see a win in Miami ...

Dolphins' Mario Williams a backup as he prepares to face Bills http://www.stltoday.com/sports/football/dolphins-mario-williams-a-backup-as-he-prepares-to-face/article_5dfc4a09-1205-53d3-9b5b-866df110380f.html he signed a $17 million, two-year deal with Miami. I'm sure he is crying ...all the way to the bank. "Williams said he feels no extra motivation facing his former team, which may elicit snickering from Bills fans who complained he lacked motivation last year."

George Seifert inherited a great team built by Bill Walsh with Rice, Montana and Steve Young already on the team. Plus, he had Mike Holmgren as OC from the Walsh days and he stayed until 1991. Then it was Mike Shanahan who ran the offense. Seifert coached the 49ers for 8 years as HC but it wasn't his offensive system, scheme. To me, it's like saying Barry Switzer is a top 5 NFL HC and I'll tell ya why. He went on to coach the Carolina Panthers from 1999-2001 and their record was 8-8, 7-9, 1-5 and he was done.

... 28 games with 25 wins against Buffalo .63.77% with 7001 yards passing, 62 TD's vs 20 INT's and a QB rating of 100.02 Should the Patriots win the SB this year he will have more SB wins than any other NFL QB.

Letting Geno Smith start should really expose just how good a QB guru Chan Gailey is at developing a young player. My guess is the interceptions and turnovers keep coming and the entire Jets offense gets a reboot after this season with Geno, Chan and Fitz all gone.

When the Patriots win this year's SB he will officially be the GOAT NFL QB.

Yikes, this might be the end of his MVP chances

Trust me, as the Bills are still under everyone's radar at this point. Listening to ESPN and NFL insiders, NFL live they talk about every other team other than Buffalo. The only slight reference they made was to Colin Kaepernick and that he will remain the starter. You would think that a four-game win streak would give the Bills some visibility. But Nah, they are cellophane. I kinda hope they stay this way all the way up until the NE game...and Rex keeps his low profile like he has been so far this season

He had that potential after being drafted and not so sure anymore that he can get healthy and stay that way. Not like Julio anyway. The problem is he has been injured since day one which has restricted his play due to various injuries. Broken foot, broken ribs, groin injury, hip injury that required surgery, hamstring, calf, ankle... AJ yes. Although, I'd like to see DeSean Jackson in a Buffalo uni too. A darn shame the team can't trade the reefer man because one more toke and he is gone for a year. The team is winning without him. JMO
