  1. I don't think we have seen enough to know if he is good or bad, or weak or strong armed.  We do know that he does some stupid stuff, like intentional grounding.  We do have glimpses that the guy is a leader, has confidence, can throw guys open, and isn't afraid to throw it in a tight window.  I like him, but the jury is still out. Go Bills!!!

    I don't know if he has a week arm or not. But he sure throws a lot of picks. I do know that.

    Cmon reddog!!??!

    AND traded down to get the best player in the draft AND got an extra 1st round pick. Best draft day move since that blockbuster trade that brought Biscuit here.

    Coach does get credit for getting White;  however, I think he misplayed his hand with passing on a QB.  I think he felt that he had a 4 win team which would set him up with 2 firsts to get one of the QB rock stars in the 2018 draft, which everyone was saying had more QB potential than 2017.  Also, he thought a 4 win team would give him a chance to see what NP could do.   If he knew he was going to have a playoff team before the 2017 draft, he would've nabbed a QB in 1st, with him starting by the KC game.  More importantly, we would have Mahomes or Prescott, locked and loaded for 2018, and we could use our 2018 first on a DE.  We still may get our guy in 2018, but winning this year may result in 2 steps back in 2018 because we aren't able to get a QB or the rookie QB may need a year to learn or may be a complete bust.  In waiting, the coach took a big chance, but he believed the risk wasn't big because he would be picking low with a 4 win team.  Coach said that he was surprised that the team could win this much.  Winning will result in reducing a shot at the QB he had in mind.  This is the reality that confronts him now.  Maybe things will work out, and we'll have our guy in 2018, but the costs will be much higher:  not just our 2 firsts but a 2019 first too.  Very expensive and risky.  Go Bills!!!

    I would say I think there's hope because of his anticipation and pocket presence. I think he has good accuracy. Those traits, imo, are the 3 most important for an NFL QB. I like how he challenges the defense and I like his aggressiveness. I don't think he was adjusted to the speed of the NFL and hasn't figured out the timing with his receivers and is still figuring out what he can and can't do.   I'm not saying I'm ready to roll with him as a penciled in starter for next season. I just feel he possesses some quality attributes they are worth building the rest of his skill set around. I would be ok with allowing him to be a part of the qb competition next season and if he is the guy, I'm ok with it. But just my personal opinion on it,  I think he could end up being a pretty decent quarterback and is an option I'd like to explore. He's a smart kid and after the learning curve, I think he'll be worth it. 

    I agree that he has a lot of upside.  C'mon, he hasn't been given a good look this year.  Maybe he is terrible like EJ, JP, Rob, and Trent;  but those guys played in a lot of games and their flaws were became obvious.  We don't know what we have with him yet.  I'm sure he'll be here next year, and he could even be the starter at some point.

     

  4. They did get TT on the move, roll outs, boot legs, etc, but the receivers were stepping out of bounds, dropping balls, not coming back, etc.  TT made some good passes, but he was overthrowing, throwing behind, etc.  He was the same as the past 3 years.  Other than not running from the 1, the game plan was a winning one.  All we needed was 11 points to win.

    So which one would you rather have for 2018?

     

    A. Tyrod

    B. Alex Smith

    C. Andy Dalton

    D. Kirk Cousins

     

    (Of course, I'm assuming that both the Chiefs and the Bengals would be ready to move on).  Note that we should also take into account their contracts (or expected contract for Cousins) + what we'd likely have to give up for them (for Smith and Dalton).

     

    EDIT: I'd go for Dalton. One year left on his contract, and I'm guessing a 2nd rounder would do it. Younger than Smith. Cheaper/shorter term than Cousins. Allows for development of a rookie QB if they choose not to re-sign him. Plus we all know that Dalton has an epic record of failure in Sunday/Monday night games, but given the infrequency with which the Bills play in those prime time slots, this would not be a problem in Buffalo ...

    How bout swap TT for Dalton, and keep our drafts picks = division contender ...

    When he was here, he played for stats and not the team and complained when he wasn't getting what he wanted.  That was just unacceptable.  Tyrod obviously hurt him but you can't let that get to you mentally and he did.  His injuries also seemed to have gotten to him and he took it out in the wrong way.  That's not what a teammate does, that's what a self-centered player does.  There are a lot of receivers like that but look at a guy like Benjamin, does his business even though he's hurt and not getting targets and still doesn't complain. I quickly learned to hate Sammy when he was here, he needed to grow up and stop being a distraction.  Not sure LA will want to give him any kind of big money, hope he gets better and figures things out wherever he goes

    Sammy is a good guy.  Like many athletes, he came out of a collegiate program where he was pampered, the big man on campus, brought Clemson back to glory.  Came into a Bills program that was off-balance in the locker room, and no one mentored him.  I think if he ends up with Brady, he will be elite.  Tom Terrific will get in this face, which never happened at 1 Bills Dr.  Go Bills!!!

    Really. Jacksonville's D is not that good.

    Against common opponents, it's about a draw.  We both played Jets, Colts, LAC, and Cincy.  Jets hung 471 on Jax, which is a bunch more than Jets got on us in either game.  LAC hung 322 on them and 429 on us.  Colts and Cincy games were similar.  Soooo, we're either both pretty good Ds, or both not so good.  I agree with reddog that the only #s that matter is the score at about 4:30 on Sunday.  Go Bills!!!

    Cousins. Perfect fit and if you look at his numbers and who his WR are in Washington you'll realize he did a lot with nothing. He lost his top 2 guys and still had a great year. 

     

    You put Cousins on the Bills with Shady, Clay and Benj. and you'll have a damn good offense. 

    Keep them draft picks and fill the D-line, O-line and LB's and get Shady a real deal backup and you're talking a true contender.

    Cousins with those guys, and high drafts for DL, and we would be a team to be reckoned with.   Pats would be loosing sleep.  Go Bills!!!

    Dude, Taylor was sacked 46 times, good for 3rd in the league, in basically only 14 games.

     

    Jags are going to get after it and get some sacks. Jax is second to Pitt with 55 sacks.

     

    Tyrod played 7 games against top 14 sack teams and was sacked 24 times in those 7 games. Most being 6 @ Cincy and 6 @ NE. 

     

    Oh by the way there was only one win in there against Atlanta.

    Good stuff PG.  This supports my point that TT better get movin, which was probably what Wilson did to get the W.  TT got sacked b/c they wanted him to be a pocket passer.  When you've got a Maseratti, don't just drive it on the driveway.  Go Bills!!!

    So you do realize that the Titans (#19) and Rams (#24) are at the bottom half of the sacks allowed for the season?

     

    Take a guess where the Bills are ranked in that category... #7.

    Next, take a guess where the Jags are ranked in the Sacks category... #2.

    We will have to have a superhuman effort to win this weekend. Let's be honest...

    Good stuff.  I can't find how many they had in those 2 games.  Also, we don't have the fastest gun in the west either!!??!  I hope the smart sports guys aren't right.  Go Bills!!!

  11. All the smart sports guys on NFL channel and other places say we get rolled over bad.  They say we have the worst QB and our running game will be stuffed.    Jags allowed 7 teams get 300 total yards, but, guess what, they lost 4 of 7.  The smart sports guys say we must get 300+ to have a chance.  But guess what?   Rams and Titans beat them with less than 300.  With 142 and 116 rushing, and just over 100 passing.  Hmmm??  Those passing #s look like our guy.  Hope the coaches have watched those 2 games.  Go Bills!!!

    I am more concerned with them being the Number 1 Defense in limiting drives and getting off the field. 

     

    That going against our offense that cant seem to stay on the field spells trouble for the Bills defense in terms of fatigue. 

     

    I also think this is the fastest defense we have faced in terms of Defense Team speed. Maybe ATL a bit faster. Which tells me they dont have to scheme to keep up with Taylor running. 

    Hey MAJ, sounds gloomy and doomy.  How do we win??

     

  13. I don't see Shady or anyone being able to run against their D line.  TT can't throw against that secondary.  He needs to roll out and dink and dunk.  Pull their secondary in, then go over the top to KB.  Hope the coaches put in misdirection to counter their aggressiveness.  TT's speed should be used early and often.  We need 3 turnovers.  Might as well ask that the snow storm moves south.  We're pretty good in the snow.  Jags will give Pats a good game down the road, I'm afraid.  Go Bills!!!

     

  14. Since my life's work has been schooling and teaching, my hat's off to Mr. Maybin.  We need good teachers and good schools start with community support.  Communities get the schools they are willing to support.  We loose many great teachers, especially minority ones, because salaries are better elsewhere.  Our city schools generally need more funding to keep the heat on, and to keep good teachers.  The per pupil spending is higher because the class sizes have got to be smaller for disadvantaged communities.  You can put 30+ middle-class kids in as class, but schools where the poverty is high, the classes better be much smaller.   Most people don't understand the challenges that city kids bring.  They are beautiful kids, and the teachers who commit to them deserve our thanks.  Thanks Mr. Maybin!!

    so get 2 TEs out into mid range patterns, RBs out of the backfield, screens, whatever.  and it doesnt have to be 100% of any single strategy.  move the chains, control the ball, keep it close, then rely on the fact that Blake Bortles is still Blake Bortles

    I like the idea of some new short passing plays that we haven't shown on film with TT rolling out.  Forget about Shady running b/c they'll shut that down in a skinny minute.
