There you go. Makes sense. Kind of surprised they didn't bring Reilly up.
-
I think Gilmore has trouble with zone coverage concepts
-
Bring Reilly up. That's all they need to do for WR right now. Matthews will be back in a month.
-
Odds are they'll move Reilly up. Tate will be active. And they'll play more two or three TE sets with O'Leary and Thomas.
For the doom and gloom among you who keep saying what if the D starts playing bad, or what if Shady gets hurt or what if, what if, what if:
What if they don't? What if the D continues to play well? What if Hauschka keeps kicking so well? What is the offense continues to protect the ball and be efficient? The best thing about the last two weeks in my opinion were the long sustained drives the offense made that took so much time off the clock. And those against some pretty good defenses.
It's the NFL. Guys get hurt. Other guys have to step up. Let's just see how it plays out next week. Game at a time.

I just love these kind of threads.
Seriously, what adversity has TT faced this season?
Can he lead a 14 point comeback in the 4th quarter? Anyone think so.
What happened when the running game was totally shut down in Carolina? No offense
We all know what TT is. Right now, he's putting up extremely efficient numbers.
Last week's 126.whatever sounds great but he threw for how much?
had a QB gone 34-49, 357 yards 4 TD's and 2 int. he would have scored 125.12.
TT's rating was higher but was it a better game than above?
Obviously it depends on the game situation.
If the defense keeps playing the way it has been TT's great efficient numbers will be solid. However, if the team gives up 24, don't we still hope for more? Will 19-25, 219 yard 1 TD and 0 int's really be enough?
be honest.
Honest? Tell me what happened with the two picks by the other guy. Did he throw 49 times because his defense was bad? Because that team had no running game? Or because they have great receiver matchups?
The problem is you cannot look at things in isolation. The Bills have a D that's playing well, have a great kicker right now, and with the running and passing game an efficient offense that doesn't turn the ball over. The one thing that to me has stood out the last two games is they've had some good time consuming drives. That tells me the offense has some balance.
If TT has to throw 45 times a game it's not what the Bills want to do. Odds are it would not work well.
When it comes to passing, quantity doesn't beat quality.
-
They'll have guys on the field Sunday. From where we'll see. I assume at least one from the practice squad.
-
Does it matter how many can?
Why is it wrong for me to want to see more from my starting QB?
Also
Can we drop the hostility?
I've made it a point to be polite to you. Can you do the same?
I want more INT s from the D
I want more sacks from the D
I want to see more forced fumbles
Does that mean I hate them all?
No it does not.
Then quit with the dumb hyperbole. Wanting to see more from the QB does not equate to expecting a QB to win games on his own when a defense plays bad. Very few QBs do that. Brady didn't yesterday.
If they go 8-1 the next 9 games it won't be entirely because of the QB. Nor if they go 7-2 should be discounted. Football is a team game, and the team will win if they continue to have good defensive and special teams performances, and if the offense can continue playing mistake free ball, and keep making long scoring drives. Drives which happened in no small part to the performance of the QB.
-
I wasn't positive but I was definitely worried.
-
. So it was sarcasm. Glad for that.Yes I realize that. I say your good because I couldn't tell you were doing that. Totally took you as serious. Not once but twice.
I am surprised as well.
-
clever. I love the grammer police. those you can't think teach
Those you can't think, teach.
That's a joke, right? Tell me that's a joke.
-
I remember the entire off-season people were saying the secondary would be a weak link.
-
If I'm reading this right the OP hoped we'd lose.
-
I agree with the OP. The offense needs to improve or we're not making the playoffs. The first step is finding a 2nd running back to replace Tolbert. More creative play calling will also be required. Zay Jones needs more looks because I believe he's way better then what he's showed so far.
At this point other teams have to show they can beat our model. No sense predicting doom and gloom. Just go win the next one.
-
WITH Taylor, how does Clay usually get the football? Answer: he doesn't. So clearly, Clay had a monster game covering for the usual errors that Taylor makes.
Really, all I'm asking is credit be given where due. Clay made Taylor look good. Without Clay, Taylor goes 7 for 15 for about 80 yards, which is horrible even by Taylor's usually awful standard.
But if the defense played worse, we'd have better field position and the offense would be better.
Disagree.
-
For Taylor to throw for more yards, the D would likely have to play worse so we have to play from behind. I'd rather not have that scenario.
-
This is where things could get a lil dicey.
The Bills seem to have a strong starting group, but once you have to go deeper down the bench there are a lot of unproven guys that will be expected to step in and do the same job.
Milano for Humber. Humber will be retained and should only be out a few weeks.
Holmes for Matthews. Matthews will be retained, but will be out a month.
Blanton/FA for Anderson. Anderson may be cut and replaced if his injury is long term.
I'm still calling for the Bills to sign TE G. Barnidge BTW. He would give them another solid possession receiver and clutch veteran player.
He doesn't replace any injured guys where we could use more help.
-
He's playing a very efficient game right now. Hope he keeps it up.
-
bottom line Taylor has played well enough for them to win but by know means should he be considered the long term solution.
And by know means should he enter a spelling bee
-
So tell us : When was the last game the Bill's needed Taylor to win by passing and how did he respond? Of course, we'll do you the favor of disqualifying the Denver game - which the Bills won thru passing without the slightest run game (62yds on 25 carries, if I remember). So forget the Broncos, and go with the next game back. Lets see how well this cliche holds up.......
Sooner or later the sun will explode and we'll all be wiped out forever. But I still try to enjoy the moment.

Has anyone ever really cried over spilled milk?
If I have a warm chocolate chip cookie in front of me and it splits I cry like a baby.
Watson did very well. So did our CB that we took round 1. And our QB was very efficient.
We won, they won. On to next week.
-
Me? I'm not hating. He played well enough to win. But it's absolutely bizarre that there is a thread praising him. If Atlanta puts up their normal 30 points a game, if we don't get a defensive TD, if Haushka can't hit 55+ yard fg's then we lose. Luckily things went our way
If the queen had balls she'd be king too.
It's not luck to rely on a kicker who has shown he's accurate in long rangee attempts. It's not luck when your defense shuts down an offense 4 weeks in a row. It's not luck when you drill into defensive players mind to pick up any loose ball and run with it until you hear a whistle.
That said we don't need call out threads like the OP started.

I 100% blame whaley for his lack of productivity. If you went to your job tommorow and they told you they were gonna pay you 100 million dollars, and guarantee you 50 million (or whatever it is) how much effort would u give? How can u give 100% when you're set for life? They gave him a terrible contract
Depends if you have any sense of integrity

Hope you're right. Have my doubts.
Bills Sign WR Philly Brown and Two Safeties

By doing what? They are heavy on run game and using their TE's. And it's working. You bring back a guy that knows the offense for a couple weeks.
