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.

Its a combination of factors. The overall viewership dip is most likely correlated to overall decrease in cable and satellite ownership. Now add in sloppy play on Thursday nights, and ugly matchups on Monday and their is a bit of a problem. When it comes to protesting and kneel i think there is also an effect. Those that are effected by people boycotting are those team with poor records. My father life long Browns fan and Vietnam veteran hasnt watch a game this year besides the game I took him to and another weekend I visited. Its enough of an issue where the NFL is in a bit of a panic over it.

If the running game gets going Buffalo can cause alot problems for teams. Run the ball and defense is what matters most in November, December and than January in the AFC.

I am the same. I dont have cable but overall the Thursday night and Monday night games have been poor match ups the last handful of year compared to the Sunday night games.

Espn seems to have the less attractive TV deal with the NFL. From my understanding, CBS and FOX get to pick an AFC and NFC matchup each week. NBC gets the next pick with the ability to flip flop with either network later in the year. Then Thursday night and Monday night fight over the rest. Monday and Thursday night are tough because they are in the middle of the standard work week. Both run til midnight. For rating to improve Monday and Thursday the telecasts need to be creative so they avoid commerical, kick , commercial. They are at the point of over saturation. Thursday games are always sloppy because they don't have adequate time to prepare.

By your logic its low percentage so why finish the game depending on it? You have time to know for certain how many scores you need.

Actually, regardless of the success of Watson I do not think Watson he would be as successful here like he is in Houston. They have alot of weapons and a good defense. They were a playoff team the last 3 years without a QB. Taylor is a stop gap. With the draft picks and possible cap space I think Buffalo will be better suited for a QB change next year. Get more weapons and an overall better understanding of the system that is going to be running.

There is def an argument to be made. For whatever reason it has seemed that the division has caught and surpassed in a number of categories outside of Brady. The Patriots have the worst Defense and worst running game in the divisions. I still expect for NE to win the division but it the closet in 10 years.

It made me nervous when it was announced that now every replay call comes straight from the league office. There was no doubt the tuck role was to job Al Davis. With the poor ratings the league is having this year for all their games does it surprise anyone the that the Patriots play Atlanta Sunday night? The difference in the Patriots winning or losing that game? Instead of being in sole possession of first place, the Patriots would be in sole possession of last place. Looking up at the Jets, dolphins, and Bills all after thoughts in the league. The Falcons have not been great they can call it a superbowl hang over and what better way to turn around the season than beating first place NE?

What is the difference between Taylor and Flutie? Taylor is more accurate and a better deep ball.

Tinfoil hat time. What reason would the NFL have to overturn the play and ensure a Patriot win? With dropping ratings and coming off what looked like a subpar Sunday night game 0-5 Giants @ Denver. They would want NE in sole possession of first place going into Atlanta so they can pump up the Super Bowl rematch, The 3-3 Patriots in sole possession of last place in the AFC east who just lost to the Jets would not have been a good look. In a year of poor and dropping ratings they need a marquee matchup. Was the ball moving? Yes? Was there any definitive look or mashup of replays to review? No.

Well he has atleast made it back. Though i do not see Beane or Mcdermott giving up anythiing of substance for him. He doesn't seem to fit the players they are targeting. Would he be ok with only a handful of targets? Now on the field I think he would be lethal down the field with Taylor. Wouldn't take long to get him acclimated. Go's or comebacks. He has the speed and size to be the deep threat the offense is looking for.
