These trades have nothing to do with Buffalo's playoff hopes.

Chemistry between a Qb and Wr is tricky. This is a very unique situation. He is thrown to a lot. I do not recall Watkins getting this kind of pass share. Now Taylor and Jones are still working on getting on the same page but without any in game production its still a little bizarre seeing the amount of passes going his way. Its a complete reckless speculation but Jones must be balling out in practice and looking good to where he is a large part of the game plan. For whatever reason he has not made the best of the situations but obviously Taylor has a lot of faith in him.

If they give up yards but avoid the big plays and continue to make the turnovers I am OK with the Defense. Stop the run avoid the 30 plus yard passing plays and get a take away or 2 is a very good formula. For everything Tampa is their offense is explosive and Winston has now thrown for 300 in 4 striaght games. Carr and Oakland present similar problems but are more 1 dimensional. Against the good Qbs they are going to move the ball the defense has to make the plays when they are given the opportunities and hold them to as many Fgs as possible.

So if an average team doesn't beat them they are as good as they ever been?

They have not played well going west coast to east coast @ 1pm. They are 2 and 16? Cold wet game vs a team playing very well at home that is running the ball and stopping the run fairs well for Buffalo. High flying offense may not do well considering the conditions.

He is a big loss. He has been playing in the middle and edge depending on the situation. Their front 7 is poor. Teams can run on them and play keep away from Brady.

They are in desperate need. Henderson and or mills. Pryor is a bit of a head case. Could be an interesting deep threat though for Taylor. Is quicker and fast than Matthews or Jones and has legit size.

Happy to see the Bills creating a home field advantage like it used to be. The Pats are still a work in progress. ATL is in all sorts of trouble. I dont buy too much in that win. Their run game is still poor, and have had the benefit of 4th quarter leads. Buffalo will play them very tough at home. In the cold and bad weather I am curious to see how Brady holds up.

That is the way to look at it. Cold and wet game vs a team traveling west to east @ 1 pm should all lead to a win. Mccoy keeps running well, Taylor makes plays and the defense gets timely stops late all leads to a bills win by 10.

The price would need to be high. I do not think its a coincidence that Glenn is bank and the Bills running game improves. He is a beast in the running game. Something is bound to break with Henderson and Mcdermott.

Because of Taylors ability runing the ball he will take a few more sacks. If he doesn't have an angle and is outside the pocket I would like him to through it away a little more. Overall if the defense contunues to generate turnovers Taylor will lead the team to the playoffs.

This really reminds me of Terrell Owen's rookie year. He was getting open and dropping balls left and right. Against GB in the playoffs he makes a catch at the goal line in like triple coverage to win it as time expired and came up with the ball crying. Then the next year he catches 20 balls on Rice's last game. And the story of TO was built. Idk if jones becomes great or im reaching here. A big play byJones and he could be off to the races as a legit Wr.

Pretty much what Vick was saying. What separates Taylor from 98% of all the QBs in the NFL is his athletic ability. To force him into 3 step drops plays into the defenses hands. You want to drop 8 into coverage ok. We will do 5-7 step drops. If no one is open can the coverage hold up for 5 to 6 secs when the fastest qb in the NFL is moving towards the of scrimmage? Seems when he runs and makes some plays he gets into a rythem quicker.

Imo I believe Mcdermott and Beane will judge Taylor this season base off of W and L more than anything else. If Taylor leads the Bills to the playoffs or a minimum a winning record I think he is retained. He doesnt have to play great for the Bills to win. If he struggles and the team struggles he is gone at the end of the year.

Depends what is received in return. Hard to replace a reliable LT so the price would be rich. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Mills or Henderson for next to nothing. A conditional pick or maybe back up RB or Wr

Matthews will be needed.

Monday update. He is week to week. They will reassess next week.

I feel like I have said the same thing every week. I think he could have a big game at any time. Going home probably helped him get his confidence. He is to me a big play away from really become a solid contributor.

He seems like an absolute steal. Get White and an extra First rd pick.

Alot of tackles on the roster. Henderson and Dawkins have to be better than Mills right?

Well he is a heck of an Offensive Co Ordinator. Kizer was not the issue for the team. He throws a good ball. He has made some poor decisions expected of a rookie qb. The offense has struggled tremendously in the redzone. As a coach if you cant clean that up during the week that is on you. Their best offensive player is johnson but they are committed to Crowell and 3 yard, 3 yard loss pass punt.

I never thought this would be the case but he is probably the most important player for the offense. Seems to have a knack for making plays and doesn't need alot of opportunities to be successful. His presence hopefully help take some burden off Zay Jones and let him grow. The team desperately needs for jones mature into a pro Wr. I feel like i have said the same thing regarding him every week thus far.

The schedule is favorable. This is a stretch Buffalo and probably more importantly Taylor need to take advantage of. If the team only manages to break even and limp through the following stretch of games it probably does him in as the Qb going forward. On the other side of the coin, Taylor can play this team into legitimate playoff contention he would at least solidify his position as unquestioned starter for this year and the following.

Does this mean they abandoned the outside zone and are going back to power and inside zone?

Quarterback is not like any other position. Literally, Houston is and was a competent Qb away from being very good. Watson wouldnt beat out Taylor here , The offensive weapons are not that good right now. A rookie QB without reliable weapons would be a disaster. 2017 Buffalo Bills White was the right guy so far. They have ammo to add whoever they want next year. They have the cap space and draft capital to also build a team however they choose to.
