3 Years, 3 different OCs and numerous different WRs and Taylor has had these same issues throwing the ball the whole time. It aint getting better. To think Peterman wont struggle is ridiculous, but to think he cant offer a spark in this ****ty passing game is ridiculous also. I honestly dont care who starts at this point, just sick of reading all these !@#$ing excuses for Taylor. Hes in his 7th year and 3rd as a starter, all the flaws that were pointed out early in his first year with Buffslo have not improved at all. We have surpassed my expectations for this season and it has absolutely nothing to do with the way the offense is playing,

On the second last play Taylor had no trust in an open WR, on the last play he threw it to a guy blanketed by 2 defenders with a safety overtop. Yeah the WRs arent big name proven players, but its decisions like these that make them look worse then it really is. Taylor holds on to the ball too long, he hesitates with his decisions and throws a lot of inaccurate passes down field. He hardly ever throws a guy open and stands in the pocket waiting for somebody to get completely open or he checks down to the safe throw. Three years, three OC, numerous WRs and the same result in the passing game. Taylor has been the one constant factor this whole time. You cant keep blaming everybody else when Tyrod HAS NOT proven he can do it either. Is it 1-12 when he throws over 30 times now? How many wins does he have when our D gives up over 20 points? How many times have we been in close games and he cant move the ball down the field in the closing minutes? Yesterday our D had 3 turnovers, 2 of them had good returns and set up great field position. We had a punt returned inside the Bengals redzone. 16 points is unacceptable.

maybe you should be saving this question for week 5 next year.

He was open, thats all that matters. Taylor either never seen him or shyed away from making that throw. Regardless, the guy was open, doesnt matter what his name is.

Thats when we had Boldin. But he played 1 quarter with Taylor and decided he was wasting his time

Taylor has rarely thrown to his WRs for 3 years now.

This is bang on. Great post.

What else do you want me to look at? Until Peterman hits the field we have nothing else. All we know right now is that Taylor is the check down king. Hard to judge any WR who rarely sees the ball.

Taylor has had numerous different WRs, 3 different coordinators. The passing game has been bad all 3 years. Peterman looked like he made better decisions and processed things better in preseason. The change may come with more mistakes, but it still may be a better option then what we are watching. Ive said this in another post, sometimes its like Tyrod doesnt even know the routes these guys are running, hes just sitting in the pocket waiting for a guy to get completely open. There were times today where Taylor had loads of time to throw the ball and he stands still until hes flushed out or takes a sack. Whats he waiting for? the routes are in place. How come none of the WRs get the ball when they come out of their breaks? Its the NFL, guys arent open all the time, you need to trust the play and make the throw. All offseason people said this was a quick decision offense in which the QB needs to get the ball out with anticipation. I dont see any of this with Taylor?

Lol! WRs and OC continue to change but the results stay the same with Taylor passing. Keep blaming everybody but him.

Taylor hardly gives these guys opportunities. He has little to no anticipation at all. When do we see WRs getting the ball out of their breaks? When do you see him give guys a chance while in man on man coverage? When do you see him climb the pocket and throw the ball? You cant expect these WRs to improve and gain confidence if they hardly ever see the ball. I agree everybody has made mistakes, but so has Tyrod. Seems everybody want to make excuses for Tyrod and pu the blame on all his teammates. If Tyrod played better himself, all these guys might be doing better also. Taylor is the guy taking the snaps, hes making the decisions, hes throwing the ball. Zay was targeted 3 times today. Bad drop, nice catch and bad throw. How does he gain confidence after that? How do any of our WRs gain confidence if they hardly ever see the ball? This hasnt been just this season, this has been a problem every year. The players keep changing but the results are the same with Taylor.

Let the D do all the work and maybe we can outscore our opponents with FGs

Any other QB then Taylor and we may be 5-0. In our 2 losses our offense combined for 19 points while our defense gave up a combined 29. Thats great work by the D and terrible work by the offense. You can blame the WRs all you want, they arent doing well. At the same time the QB rarely attempts to throw them the ball, never has. Until Taylor starts giving these guys more opportunities they will continue to struggle because they hardly see the ball. Our offense has not been asked to do much at all this season thanks to our defense.

I dont care at this point. Offense has been terrible. A game like today with 3 defensive turnovers and the punt returned inside the Bengals redzone our O cant settle for 16 points. Its that simple.

Might be a sorry looking group, but if Peterson can anticipate plays better it may help these guys out. Watching Tyrod, it makes me think he doesnt even know the routes these guys are running sometimes. Like hes just waiting for someone to break free and be completely open.

3 turnovers and punt returned inside the Bengals redzone and we only get 16 points. Terrible

Bengals score here, this game is over

Green is gonna have more receptions this game then our entire WR group has this season by the end of this one

Lol! We probably use our WRs less then anybody in the league. Id agree to ya if it seemed Taylor was atleast attempting to use them, but that is rarely the case. He seems pretty content on passing to the guy closest to him for the most part, with the occasional shot to to Clay. And its great hes finally using Clay, took him a 2 years to actually trust him. Maybe in time (hopefully not 2years) Taylor will grow some nuts and start throwing to these WRs on a regular basis. Until Taylor uses them, its hard to put blame on them. Taylor not using his WRs has been quite common during his time in Buffalo. Dont waste your time with the Sammy and Taylor were one of the best duos in the NFL the last 6 games of 2015, which I know would be your first response. Sammy was still underused during the majority of his time in Buffalo. WRs have been running open since Taylor put on a Bills uni, Taylor either doesnt see them or doesnt throw them the ball because of fear of making a mistake. Either way its hard to judge our WRs until Taylor starts giving these guys more opportunities to catch the !@#$ing ball.

So stupid! The QB play late in games is so valuable. Look at the Super Bowl winning QBs throughout history. Because Taylor isnt very good in these situations you are trying to downplay its importance. I like this

. If Taylor was leading this team to some scoring drives late in close games, its quite possible we sneak into the playoffs that past 2 years. Just saying, its all hypothetical.

Yes the defense was bad the last 2 seasons. That does not change the number of times Taylor had the ball in hand late in games and down one score and he couldnt get the job done. Our D is carrying this team right now, that doesnt make Taylor any better at playing his position. Were winning, im happy with that, but you need to always be looking to improve. Taylor and our 29th ranked offense needs to improve. You can blame everybody you want. Lots of blame to go around for numerous years. Our passing game is bad. Its not all Taylors fault, but hes a part of the problem which you fail to recognize

Believe me, there is a lot more games where our O had the opportunity to win and came up short under Tyrod. When we have the ball late in games and need a score to win, Taylor rarely leads us to the win. Yeah, we had opportunities to win against Miami and came up short because of other peoples mistakes. Yeah, Taylor put us in position to score during that game. Still hard to forget the other ones we lost just because of that ONE game against Miami.

He did alittle more then usual last week but still far from what id like to see out of my QB. You can gush about his QB rating all you want, when you dont turn over the ball because of a safe throw mentality its always gonna be relatively high. When he starts involving our WRs into our offense on a more regular basis, lets see what happens.... Nice win though. He did what needed to be done.

WRs being selfish is no big deal. Everyone wants to perform to the best of their ability. Kid has all the talent but seems the guys taken after him have gotten more results and more publicity. Gotta think that has something to do with it also.
