A good QB can make a defense a lot better. We had the top defense in the league through 5 weeks. They don't suck all of a sudden, they're just really gd tired from being on the field all game every week.

I think they're going to be caught flat footed by the pass a bit, considering everything they know about the Bills is a Tyrod led team. If we hit a few more guys in stride, get more yac, and start getting some chunk plays, you'll see them generally scrambling - which is all McCoy needs. If Peterman exploits the pass, Shady's best days as a Bill are ahead of him.

The thing I've railed on Tyrod for is that he doesn't give this team a chance to win. Unless the other team comes unprepared or our guys just have a day, they know when and where shady's getting the ball, and they know Tyrod won't give our defense rest. I'm extremely confident that changes. Peterman doesn't have to be Brady, he just has to be Alex Smith.

I'm going to go 200 2 TDs and a pick 22/28, but I think the thing that matters is that he's directly responsible for opening up a huge game for shady. I think this team will look top shelf this week.

Ive been saying this since week 12 last year, and was basically ex-communicated as a real Bills fan. If I knew something they didn't, why wasn't I working for the Bills? Seems like I have a few phone calls to make...

Hey all, just wanted to check in and see how this thread's doin'

I don't argue with people that can't read.

ok, good chat.

The tax proposal drops it to 33%

How do you You seriously don't remember Bryan Scott? He was awesome. Always did everything he was asked, and he didn't play MLB, he played outside LB sometimes.

Why is that? I say we won exactly zero games off of Taylors play and each we lost, except NO, was directly a result of his being unable to move the football. Assuming that Peterman was not an utter dumpster fire, I'd expect him to convert the same turnovers into field goals that Taylor did, plus pick up another first down or two. It's really not a stretch.

We possessed the ball 18 minutes to their 42... 18 minutes... Say it with me EIGHTEEN MINUTES. The best defense is a good offense. They cant score if they dont have the ball, and we beat 0 teams in the NFL with 3 points. ZERO. If Taylor drops 35 and we still get blown out I'll listen to your argument about defense, but as it is they already gifted Taylor 5 wins this year he didnt deserve. I would say we're 8-1 with Peterman under center. Loss to the saints.

I take it you didnt read the plan. Go check it out, from any source you wish and let me know what you find. Hint. He'll save a minimum of $1.6M per year on salary alone and a minimum of $200M lifetime via the Estate Tax.

McDermott: "Tyrod is our QB" GTFO and don't let the door hit you.

Guys, I stand corrected. Taylor is the real deal. Stats, wins, and the eye test don't matter. better extend him right now before the bidding starts.

He's a white Polish guy?

Correct. We haven't had cable in over 5 years, and more and more people are going that way. High quality sports video content used to be a huge edge for television, but over the last few years that content is much more readily available and accessible on the internet. There certainly isn't the demand to have as many cable channels as they do, and that content could be offloaded to online streaming which is far cheaper and less restrictive. Their talent has gone way downhill too. The people they put on in the afternoons are unbearable, and aren't up and coming talent. ESPN used to be the #1 place to catch sports news, but now by the time they air a story it's a day old, and I've already read 10 articles on it and watched all the interviews I need.

You people don't have nearly as much power or economic influence as you think you do. All companies lay off people, even successful ones. If you're trying to chalk this up in a W column for political protest, I'd love to bet you on how long it takes them to start running stories on how great america is because now the middle class gets to pay for Tom Brady's tax cuts. Sadly, I don't think I'll ever be able to collect on that one.

Not sure what that means, but I'm asked to put up with your people's agenda on a constant basis, and I don't piss and moan because it makes me uncomfortable. Maybe you should just listen and see what they have to say. Osi Umenyiora did a great piece on BBC about it.

My feelings are fine, I'm just dead certain what the discussion would be if the shoe were on the other foot.

I'd trade for CTE today to have a short career as a special teams player.

Football is the greatest, most complete sport ever created. I think there will be a thriving audience for it long after we're all gone. Basketball and baseball are broken games that can't adapt to the strength and size of the competitors, yet football is able to continuously evolve even as the people that play it change. What might not be there are the legions of new "fans" that have come around in the last few years. The NFL was able to pull in a tremendous amount of super-casuals over the last decade, and that will probably go away over time and we'll revert to 90's audience levels. Keep this in mind, football had a thriving role in American sport in the 50's and 60's when players had to have second jobs to pay their bills. There wasn't any real money in the game, they didn't have 16 games a week and it still thrived. I've seen a number of yuppies from my generation saying how they won't let their kids play football, and I say all the better. Get the pampered kids out of the sport who are groomed to make 20 million dollars a year, and maybe the NFL will revert back to the pinnacle of the game from the late nineties.

And it's also worth mentioning he doesn't have the opportunity very often because he often gets the job done much earlier.

It's like you're deliberately obtuse. Do you actually watch the games or just look up midseason stats? This defense has carried Taylor all season long(besides NYJ), and he continues to lose football games by being unable to turn crucial drives into touchdowns. Taylor boosting his stats in meaningless sections of games doesn't impress me or put digits in the win column. His trash play during clutch time is what matters most, and he's currently this teams weakest link. With this year's version of Josh McCown this team is undefeated. Here are some real stats that aren't just vanity metrics: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/qb
