It has been Taylor, but it doesn't help if the HC is in his ear about playing that way. A few sentences later, Benoit suggested this has less to do with Taylor (and with what Taylor can or cannot do), than with McDermott: “McDermott is known to be almost obnoxious in stressing turnover prevention.” Taylor’s interception rate (1.1 percent) ranks third-best in the league, even now. His aggressiveness, measured by passes to targets within one yard or less of a defender, is 14.3 percent, which ranks third-lowest. He’s been doing exactly what the Bills want him to do.

What happened too... we're better than 5-4?

That could still be true.

I hear a Snickers cures everything.

I just put the name of the article and that it was an article. Not sure how that is confusing.

Your welcome

https://deadspin.com/the-bills-have-been-clueless-about-tyrod-taylor-1820609446 Decent article from deadspin. Talks about McDermott being the one almost anal about playing safe, avoiding turnovers. Not playing to taylors strength, Shady not running out of shotgun much this year compared to last.

Dont forget Tolbert

My thoughts as well

Pretty much it. It's hard to win in the NFL

true..but minus the injury possibility, passing the ball was still where we were most effictient. both in yards and tds

nice work..notice one of those games was buffalo? I just look at it like if your qb is throwing for 75% and your running back is lucky to get past the line of scrimmage then throw, and throw a lot until it stops working.

They also stopped wasting 2 downs running no where

I'm more enamored by Taylor. Pass rush consistently in his face all game. No run game, receivers not getting much seperation. Bad game plan.

Good read as usual, thanks. Surprised you said your pretty much sold on Taylor, seems that you have previously been pretty down on him and believed it was one of the upgrades needed. Although Taylor can be frustrating at times I do like him. I wish when Taylor is able to actually throw the ball, they would do it more. I really wish that as our wr core improves that we can be more pass focused, I don't want to give up on the run game ( though last night it would have been prudent) but it would be nice to have more faith in the passing game and see more aggressive play calling.

We really should have. We could have passed against Carolina as well

On top of a lackluster performance by just about the entire team, the coaching sucked big time. Both this game and the Panthers game was bogged down by trying to hard to run the ball. When we where finally forced to throw the ball and be aggressive we started moving down the field. It was obvious early the running game was going no where. Yet they gave up down after down trying to run against the Jets strength. Bad game plan, bad execution all around. Zero adjustment on O or D. During the game.

Sweet!

Offensive mindset is so passive

D is a bit of a sieve, missing gaines and poyer. Horrible push on the D line against the run

Take advantage of their poor O-line and constantly make Dalton very uncomfortable. Dixon hasn't been doing squat yet

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000856686/article/qb-index-week-5-tom-brady-unfair-alex-smith-on-fire Per NFL.com #8 Tyrod Taylor QB Bills I've read enough about what Taylor can't do. What he can do is scare the daylights out of the league's best defenders like Von Miller, who guarded Taylor on one Week 3 play as if the QB was LeBron James about to take Miller to the hole. Taylor responded by flipping a pass across his body 31 yards down the field to tight end Nick O'Leary. These moments are incredibly common for a quarterback ranked 31st in pass attempts. 2017 stats: 4 games | 65.7 pct | 744 pass yds | 7.5 ypa | 5 pass TD | 1 INT | 118 rush yds | 0 rush TD

definitely different than it has been. he graded out as being able to play tackle because of his long arms or guard because he has a powerful base. everything ive looked at says he could play both...just that he might be better suited at guard because his strength.(base).is his strength...

BOTTOM LINE Quality tackle who operates with good balance and solid technique. Shows some good initial quickness and a smooth kick-slide out of his stance, but might be better in short areas as a guard rather than in open space as a tackle. He's athletic enough to operate in space, but power appears to be his calling card. His wide-hand approach in pass protection could be a difficult habit to break, but he has the natural power to withstand bull rush that might come with that. Dawkins is a well-schooled, three-year starter who has chance to transition into an early starter. i imagine this is why some are saying hes a guard, not a tackle..

Leodis had good talent...he just made really bad decisions at the worst time. everyone so far is saying this kid can be a dependable 10 year starter. that to a new coaching staff is probably more important than a flash in the pan.
