Top 10 in offensive touchdowns.
I agree we need a better passing game, but not to the extent Bills fans think.
The defense(thanks to awful coaching) was the biggest reason this team has been stuck in mediocrity the past two years.
Agreed. We were 10th in point per game which is more than many of the playoff teams in 2016. Our problems cannot be solved just by THROWING THE GODDAMN BALL MORE as a few of you seem to think. We need a sound, zone defense to succeed IMO.

Common sense I think says Hodges but I think I heard on his press conference that McDermott had Humber playing with the starters and Hodges with the back-ups. I like Humber, would not be surprised if he won that job.... What do y'all think?

Brown and Bradham paired well together in that scheme. The 4 studs unleashed up front wreaked havoc and brown and Bradham were there on mop up duty as needed.
I agree. Brown seemed a lot better with Schwartz because the D-Line was so productive it freed him to make open plays. Last year, when he had to shed more blocks in Ryan's defense, it definitely showed a weakness. He also seems to find himself in the wrong spot more often than not. I bet Ragland gets the Mike job, he looked dynamite in Training Camp last year before the injury hopefully he still does (I live in Rochester).

I don't think the difference is a wide of margin as you think amongst people inside the NFL. Yes, I agree Flacco is probably more often than not going to be picked as the better QB, especially with a SB on his resume. But lets be real, they had a lot of fortunate things happen for that to be possible (should have never made the SB but blown coverages gave them a late gift) and he's done very little since and his numbers are not that great either.
Who do you think causes more problems for DC to game plan for? I promise you its not Flacco whose leads a medicore offense where Tyrod is the most dangerous QB in the NFL while running, is more efficient, and leads a substantially higher scoring offense.
And most of what Tyrod has accomplished has been with a substantially worse group of receiving weapons as Sammy has barely been healthy the 2 years Tyrod played, yet he is still more efficient, better rating, way less turnovers, etc. So I don't think the gap between them amongst his peers is as big as you think it is.
In fact, I will say it right now...I think Tyrod will have a better year (again) than Flacco this year. He will have more total TD's, less INT's, and lead a higher scoring offense than what Baltimore will do this year. Lets look at them side by side the last 2 years:
Total TD's
TT: 29 games: 47 TD's (1.62 per game)
JF: 26 Games: 39 TD's (1.5 per game)
Tyrods Better
Total Turnovers
TT: 29 games: 19 (0.65 per game)
JF: 26 Games 31 (1.19 per game)
Tyrods a LOT better
Comp %
TT: 29 games: 62.6%
JF: 26 Games: 64.7%
Flacco's Slightly Better
Total Yards Per Game
TT: 29 games: 248.5 yards
JF: 26 Games: 276.5 yards
Joe is Better - but looking at the next 2 stats, way less efficient in getting those yards and comes from sheer VOLUME over efficiency.
Yards Per Attempt
TT: 29 games: 7.42 Yards
JF: 26 Games: 6.57 yards
Tyrods a Lot Better
Average Attempts Per Game
TT: 29 games: 28.1 Att/game
JF: 26 Games: 41.5 Att/game
Flacco throws the ball 13.4 more times per game than TT while TT rushes for 5.6 more times for a net gain of 7.8 MORE combined attempts per game by Flacco and yet only averages 28 more total yards per game on those extra attempts.
Average Points Per Game (only games they were the QB in)
TT: 29 games: 24.7 per game (15 games in 2016 = 25.9)
JF: 26 games: 21.9 per game (16 games in 2016 = 21.4)
Tyrods team a LOT better (despite Baltimore having better WR's and a much better defense).
Career QB Rating:
TT: 92.3
JF: 84.5
Tyrods significantly higher
So you guys can sit back here and say whatever you want, but the FACTS remain that Tyrod has been the better QB the last 2 years with WAY worse coaching, and less talent to throw to due to the injuries that plagued our receivers the last 2 years. If Flacco had NOT won the SB, his status would not be nearly as high as it is, his on field production has been middle of the road outside that one improbable run. And I didn't even bother to identify that massive difference running the ball by TT compared to Flacco as its not even worth comparing as TT is a million times more dangerous and productive at that.
And the funny thing is this: I am not even making a case for Tyrod over Flacco...I am just identifying that the margin isn't nearly as big as some of you want to make it out to be, and that Tyrod (whether you want to believe it or not) gets more respect from his peers than people here do and hasn't been remotely as bad as the nay sayers paint him to be. Especially when you consider the poor coaching and poor health at the WR position.
Great post. Sometimes the TT hate gets a little annoying cause almost no one recognizes this.

I heard Maclin was spotted at Buffalo gate F5
LOL
-
I would rather play for the Ravens than Bills.
1. Better QB that actual passes the ball
2. Better weather
3. More attractions in Maryland
SHHHHHH.... wait till he signs then post this...
-
Me on maclin and bills twitter
-
This just says to me you have no idea how to dress. there are so many ways to wear jeans.
Also, WTF is going on with this thread? Next someone is going to be posting recipe about a low carb buffalo chicken dip thats perfectly accompanied by fresh cut veggies....and that person wont like to wear jeans
Honestly tho if any of u have that recipe, I would appreciate it
-
Cargo shorts are terrible
So are jeans
you shouldn't wear either unless your 14
Just not true
-
Why does everyone keep saying that cargo shorts are out of style? I find them comfy and useful.
lmao this is so late
-
I agree with Kelly.
I like Maclin better than Decker.

Growing up in WNY, it'd be hard to go without the NY pizza, beer, and wings. I do like authentic foods, but if it comes down to being cultured in taste or NY pizza, I choose NY pizza all the way.

I'd everything I have that Polian is behind some of the recent doings at OBD. I said it before and I will say it again he is in Terry's ear privately. Strange that the Pegula's take drastic measures this offseason and Polian loves it...not hardly.
I would buy this...
He had a lot of positive things to say about McDermott the other day while at Jim Kelly's Charity Golf Tournament.
And yeah, he was talking a lot about his time back in Buffalo at that tournament as well.
-
Nobody puts more pressure on Tyrod Taylor then Tyrod Taylor IMO. ( with the exception of mom )
Haha YES.
-
Last night (Tuesday 6/7) I listened to Bills Polian's bit on the Bills offseason in the car on Sirius XM radio and contrary to a lot of what I read here, it made me feel good to be a Bills fan. It was very hopeful and sincere. I couldn't find the entire transcript but a few quotes from it are linked below are were really complimentary to McDermott.

Good post Jersey.
I agree he is undervalued.
He will thrive in this new scheme IMO. He plays hard and injuries are not a mega concern. He has obvious potential to claim the yds from scrimmage title this year.
-
Maybe. I just don't see the logic. Defense we are worse on paper for sure.
Actually, without Rob Ryan on the payroll, any defense is considerably better on paper.
-
OMG this thread is ridiculous
-
OOOOO exciting things for potential new Bills WR core. Would make the unit go from garbo to sexy.
-
Vic's reporting has really fallen off. So Tyrod has no pressure because he knows he's just a bridge QB. Okay Vic. Real nice.
Media around here is awful.
YUP
-
I'd happily take him as long as the $$$ works out.
Here's a question: If it were to come down to either/or, would you want to add Maclin or Barnidge? What do you think Dennison would want to do?
Maclin.
-
Great post blacklabel.
Nice to have this info. complied into one place.
I think his zone blocking scheme will be good for McCoy and the run game but I am not convinced on TT playing from under center more.... He seems to struggle to see the middle of the field and playing under center will not help this problem.
-
I'm just still pissed about the Seahawks Bills game this year with that pre-halftime B.S
-
All I can really do is stay a crazy Bills Fan while in the meantime time will tell if the changes made this year are the right ones.
