I'll keep this short, Taylor showed huge improvements in his game and it was evident from the first series. Specifically in the pocket.
His footwork, poise and speed scanning the field looks to have improved drastically. A huge drop by Clay turned 7 into 0 and some very smart throwaways decreased his completion percentage but we totally dominated and controlled this game. He converted some big 3rd downs, and used his legs very effectively.
Make no mistake, this offense runs through Shady but I think we are witnessing the evolution of Tyrod Taylor. I really felt Dennison held back big time in the 4th and just sat on the lead, up 2 scores, dominant defensive performance, that's fine but I'm really excited to see Taylor grow in this scheme and get comfortable with the WR corps.
This was a true team win, well , maybe minus ST, but for the first time in quite some time the O and D both showed up, 400+ yards on O , just over 200 allowed. Taylor's stats weren't eye popping but he did what needed to be done and looked vastly improved in the pocket. I'm really excited to see us match up with Carolina, I don't see any reason we can't have the same outcome.
Tyrod 2.0 is here
I'm sorry, but this is quite delusional.
I didn't see drastic improvement or poise. I saw more easy and simple throws under little to no pressure.
This is the stuff I'm talking about. Posters claim they know what TT is and that they don't say he's great, but one decent performance against a bad team and they are claiming him as such.
What you saw was nothing special. It's gonna take much more than that over the course of multiple games before I make such proclamations about TT making drastic improvement.

Dishonest, agenda filled posting will never end from you.
No explanation...as I thought.
Look in the mirror when you talk about dishonest and an agenda.
-
More dishonest posting.
Please explain how?
-
You are entitled to your completely uneducated opinion
TE's are expected to make these type of catches......that is why you use huge big body clydesdale's at TE.
Gronk makes these catches in his sleep
You're opinion is no more educated than mine...you can be sure of that.
-
Let's see......completions to RB's and TE's don't count......and the yardage and first downs he picks up with his legs don't count either because a QB isn't SUPPOSED to use his legs to do that. What's next.....not count any completions outside the has marks?!
First game after coming out of concussion protocol, a pretty decent day, a win....and that's still not good enough. I can picture some of these trolls at home with their TT dolls sticking pins through the head.....
I said he had a decent game.
Posters are harping over throws to the middle now and are acting as if he's now proven something in that regard after insisting it wasn't a big deal previously. This is what many of us are talking about when we say CoT.
They will tell you they don't claim he's great, but they go overboard anytime they get some decent play from the guy...today's performance is a classic example of this.
Whatever. I'm not interested in bickering over a win. I initially said it was a usual day and he was decent. Take my thoughts as you will.
-
Are you trolling? Or do you just have an infatuation of hate for an individual? And I know you are rooting for bad games from the guy and for the Bills to lose. If peterman started, i would have rooted him on. that is what a fan does.
I gave him his credit. You guys want to push me for more and I'm not willing. You are exaggerating what he did over the middle today, and his performasnce in general.
Shady and the defense carried them. TT was once again along for the ride. He makes the occasional play, but he's far from the answer for this team.
I make no apologies for my opinions, and you can call it what you like. It means nothing to me.
-
Most important thing today for TT: teams will have to defend the middle of the field more now. Unlike the past he used the middle of the field more.
Nothing he did today will change how team's defend him.
It's funny though how many wanted to defend how he didn't really throw that much less to the middle of the field and it didn't matter, but now are harping on it over some simple throws.
CoT
-
He did well over the middle today. Something you said he couldn't do.
You guys are making way too much over some simple throws short over the middle to wide open receivers.
Hardly surprising...
-
The Bills today made a very bad Jets team look competitive.
5 win team at best IMO. If McCoy wasn't on the roster they'd be in-line for the #1 overall pick.
Yup.
McCoy is everything to this team.
-
I can agree with that.
Cleveland almost beat Pittsburgh. Jacksonville pasted Houston. Dalton had four picks. it's the NFL. TT had a decent day. A run heavy team with a QB to manage the offense, still. 224 yards passing with this WR corp is not terrible.
Sure...he had a decent day.
Nothing that would make me think he's anything more than what he's shown so far in his career, though.
-
Usual TT...nothing new, and nothing that tells me that he's anything more than what he's shown. We beat a poor team at home with Shady leading the way along with the D giving up a mere 12 points.
Not much else to add, honestly. On to next week...
-
.....I hope the kid succeeds for the good of the team and realizes his dream to be a steady (screw the franchise moniker crap) NFL starter.....he could probably throw for 4,000+ yds, 40+ TD's and run for 750 but the haters will still hate..missing the playoffs with those lofty numbers would STILL be his sole fault....that is the TBD way and was the same on the defunct BBMB.....con-joined twins of negativity.....ain't gonna defeat the hate mindset no matter what....he's here for 2017 so roll with it......the haters will expose themselves.....
Give me a break.
If TT ever manages to pass at a level that doesn't expose him late in games or in crucial points, I'd be on the bandwagon...any other position is nonsense.
-
At least you set up your excuse if Taylor has really good games to start the season. So tell us, what's your watermark for it no longer being a "gimmick?"
If Taylor is playing well, by which game will you concede that he deserves credit? Game four? Five? Which one? because I think it's pretty obvious to everyone what your argument will be if Taylor plays well this week and or next week and or the week after that.
Well, it depends how he's doing it. If it's by the means I suspect like rollouts and option plays, then I'll need to see it work for at least six games before I will believe it's something sustainable. The league has proven it can and will figure out that type of offense, so call me skeptical of it ever being a longterm answer...this would go for any QB or any team FWIW.
If he's standing in the pocket and delivering passes with anticipation and using the entire field and making reads, then I'll buy in early.
I'm not setting up any excuses...the CoT has plenty for us all anyway.
-
Sounds to me that they plan on letting TT take off and run a lot.
I think that makes sense.
The best case scenario for this offense is to have great run blocking and let Shady run, run, and run some more. Let TT move around and make plays by either running or finding receivers open when outside the pocket...he stinks in the pocket trying to decipher what is happening otherwise.
It's gimmicky, and it will be countered, but this may work for a few games.
Expecting anything else than what you've seen from Taylor as a passer is purely wishful thinking...it just is what it is.
-
They're not fooling anyone.
Lots of smoke and mirrors behind Shady leading the way.
It may work for a brief period of time if the line can still run block like they have been, but team's don't respect TT as a passer, and that will be exposed...to what degree yet, we do not know, but best case we still have the same pitfalls late in games where TT is forced into being a guy he's not.
I'll be mildly amused watching TT finally being "unleashed", while actually cringing at the results that are sure to come.
-
Yes and the ready made excuse is there for all those that need something to excuse his bad play (if there is some)
"well he missed some time with concussion so slow start is expected"
This is exactly what they will say. Also, don't forget that he hasn't had much work with his receivers, the Oline, any possible injuries to any offensive player, etc...
-
That is one of my favorites
It's been 100% true the last few years.
Once this team is eliminated from the playoffs, losing can only increase your chances of getting better players in the draft...winning is pointless.
I have no issue saying I root for losses after being eliminated from the playoffs...i think it's what's best for the long term.
-
Even with their extra picks, there is no way the Bills can fill all the holes and compete for a Playoff Spot before this thing gets to 20 years of no Playoffs.
No QB
LG is 35
Center is now 31-32 years old
No answer at RG or RT
McCoy is 29 now
No #1 WR
The Tight Ends are mediocre
Kyle Williams is 34 now
Dareus is hanging by a thread
Weak Linebacker group with no depth
No name corners
1 deep at Safety
Rookie HC with archaic offensive philosophy
Gotta agree here.
It's going to take landing a franchise QB and nailing multiple drafts for this team to have a legit shot.
Maybe we contend in 2020.
-
Tougher schedule, offense that doesn't fit the players we have, weak receivers with no one to draw safeties away from playing near the line of scrimmage, and a ton of roster turnover as well as new coaches and scheme on defense with a suspect secondary/linebacking corps.
I have this team between 5-7 wins.
-
After the first preseason game I remember a reporter asked McDermott about how good he looked and McDermott said something like "we'll have to look at the tape, see how he did in pass blocking." That's what he values in his backup RBs, pass blocking. And I'm guessing this will be a more pass heavy offense than people expect.
Guess again
-
I'm honestly starting to believe that's the only reason Miller isn't starting.
Bunch of stupid political BS.
We all better hope and pray this isn't the case.
Any coach or GM that petty and short sighted has no shot turning this thing around.
-
You just don't keep a Mike Tolbert over a young guy like this...you just don't.
-
Good thread!
Can't get on board before the first game, though.

Another youngster tossed out by our new GM and coach.
Bills "can't wait to unleash Tyrod Taylor"

He takes his crusade very personally...as if his entire existance is linked to Taylor becoming the guy he so dearly believes he can become.
I just had to chuckle when I saw the over the top responses to what he did yesterday. The best part was many that were steadfast about TT not having issues throwing over the middle or making reads proclaiming he has now shown us he can do it now...based off that game and those throws.
Kudos to TT for a solid performance. Going beyond that at this point is exaggeration, delusion, or wishful thinking.
