  1.   Yeah I was thinking that, too.  I feel emotionally numb this year.  It's happening more and more every year.  It's rough for me because I live in Florida and I have to go to a bar to watch the games and there are other people around so they identify me (correctly) as a miserable loser who keeps coming back for more every week.  Is Toronto still an option?

  2. Don't yet know if it's a good move, but it's definitely not a bad move.  56 passing yards is unacceptable for any QB at any level. TT is great at improvising and getting himself out of trouble, but the trouble he's in is usually caused by his lack of anticipation and hesitance to throw to a receiver with a defender anywhere in the same area code.  Finally the Bills are not going to "ride it out" with a QB that is not getting it done, and they have the [foot]balls to make a change.

  3. Facebook? What are you...a middle aged woman?

     

    Simple for me. Tyrod Taylor jersey, a stiff margarita for pregame, Miller lites, and tequila shots after each Bills touchdown. In the past, my wife and I would cheers "championship" during our touchdown shots. This season I switched it up to "playoffs." You're welcome.

  4. We'll be better of answering at the end of the year, but if he continues to improve all season I actually agree. Every year in the draft people talk about the best quarterbacks and they get confused with the best players. If we already have a good Young quarterback why do we need another one that we don't know anything about?

    Geez ..... Sometimes I feel like we're drowning in clichés here.

     

    (1) "We all know TT waits until the receiver is open ..." Except : No one waits until a receiver is open to throw a forty yard pass.

     

    (2) Above we see this gem : "(Taylor) doesn't throw receivers open" Except : That's exactly what he did this play. He led the receiver away from the coverage and into the endzone. All it required was a microscopic adjustment to the route Jones was running. Not, mind you, the route he was supposed to be running - presumably to the front pylon - because then the adjustment would have been even smaller.

     

    (3) I wonder what people think receivers running a deep route typically do. Here's a hint : How many times have you seen a receiver slow-up because the pass is coming in short? That's because he looked back and adjusted to the incoming pass. If you run a sideline out, you cut and expect the ball in your hands. But if you're running forty or fifty yards downfield you make your route precise as possible (Jones fail), you get your head back to track the pass (Jones fail), and then you make your play on the ball (Jones fail). ZJ's route was too shallow, he was clueless where the pass was until it was already on top of him, and he made an incredibly clumsy play on the ball. If you take a half-stutter step, jump straight-up, and the ball grazes between your hands, then I guarantee the pass is sitting pretty if you just run it through. All this is Receiver 101, but nobody blames Jones for a rookie miscue.

     

    (4) You know who should take some blame tho? Those responsible for that rookie not being an alternate Three playing in the slot - with Holmes, and behind Sammie Watkins & Anquan Boldin.

     

    Wow, I didn't know this poll required detailed scientific analysis from other parties. I thought we could just vote and give our reason for voting this way. Next time we have a poll I will contact you first on how to vote.

  6. The way I see it, as a Bills fan I want to see my team get good. Really good. I don't want to just sneak into the playoffs based on the number of wins we managed for the season only to be beaten in the first round. What good is getting into the playoffs if they just lose? So when I see the Bills beat an obvious underdog with zero hopes for this season, the only way I could be excited is if the Bills completely dominated the game as a good team should. While there were some good plays, they definitely did not dominate the Jets the way a good team would (think *Pats running up the scoreboard against the Bills), and therefore after the win the only conclusion I can draw is, "Well, it was just the Jets..."
