Just now, 26CornerBlitz said:
Likewise if you think he was key on those 98-99 teams. Carry on.
See, you're twisting words. I'm not saying he was the KEY but he was certainly a big part of them making the playoffs. Johnson would not have taken us there because he was freaking horrible. Also, do you think Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed and all them weren't egotistical jerks? Jim Kelly was a huge jerk but he was a team player just like Flutie was

He was a little jerk as any of his teammates will say and it was the Bills' excellent D designed by Wade that took the Bills to the Playoffs.
If you think Flutie didn't take us to the playoffs you're an idiot. We did have the number 1 defense but there is no way we go to the playoffs if Johnson plays the entire season in 98 or 99. We gave Johnson 2000 and 2001 and what happened? He failed

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. Flutie cared about one thing: Flutie. And the same goes for Tyrod. Ironically, they both suck and will both be ex-Bills soon.
Flutie was a team guy. I'm not quite sure why anyone would think the guy was selfish. I didn't get that vibe at all. Is it because he was mad that that our stupid front office and coaching staff decided to go with Johnson over him? Because Flutie had every reason to be pissed off about that. He was clearly the better player and took us to the playoffs

It's just more proof that he's Flutie 2.0.
He cares about being the starter. He cares about making the Pro Bowl. Winning is secondary.
Can't wait till he's gone.
Are you seriously saying Flutie didn't care about winning as much as playing? He played with heart every single week. Tyrod doesn't even compare to Flutie in any aspect of the game. I cannot believe someone actually wrote this. Wow

Total chances?
Does it really matter? Lmao. You're talking about 11 years worth of him beating blitzes with at least 6 players. He has 70 TDs and 0 INTs. He's also only been sacked 17 times. I really don't think number of chances matter

The Ravens should have easily lost their last two games. How do they manage to get the Packers without Aaron Rodgers and Texans without DeShaun Watson in back to back games? If both of those QBs play, the Ravens lose both games

Bengals could also be 6-6 next week...
The Bengals aren't beating the Steelers

Assuming us, the chiefs, the chargers and Ravens are all 6-6 next week, which team would have the upper hand in the playoff race?

Poisoned relationship in Indy. Coming of a season where he has a bad injury that is shrouded in mystery and potentially really bad long term for his shoulder. Perhaps a reasonable price is on his head (maybe only 1 1st or something).
Lets get crazy.
Overrated

Pretty sure Brees was released not traded for

Does anyone know if it goes active this week? I believe it is around week 12 every year

WHy does everyone think Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins would do any better than Tyrod as a stop-gap? It's absurd. Let's Alex Smith put up the same numbers with the supporting cast Tyrod has had.
Kirk Cousins would be more than a stop gap. Smith maybe but not Cousins. I'd still rather sign him no matter how much money it is over possibly drafting another J.P. Losman or E.J Manuel

I almost feel like this franchise has been losing on purpose for the last 17 years. There is just no other way around it. It is impossible to miss the playoffs for 17 straight seasons. Now it is going on 18. We have done the impossible. There is no way that one particular team could possibly be so bad at everything for nearly 20 years. Not drafting right, bad coaching hires, bad coaching decisions, constantly finding ways to lose games in the closing minutes. We have even changed ownership and it's still no different. Year after year, regime after regime, bad draft after bad draft, always finding ways to lose games that we have no business losing, there is just no other way to explain this to me. I think this franchise loves losing and making fools out of their fans and watching us all act like the sky is falling. Call me crazy, I'd like to think this is not the case but I just can't look past it anymore and until they show otherwise that is exactly what I will keep thinking.

Ding, ding!!! Why don't for once the Bills spend some real picks on a qb?
but who cares about qb? We have zone cbs and replacement for talented players we let go to replace.
Again though, if we miss in the draft on a QB then we will set the franchise back another 5 years. Do you really want to take that chance?

No thanks- 30-35 mil a year for a qb that is a little above average. Lets draft our guy
You won't have to pay him that much money. He would only make that much money by being on the franchise tag for a 3rd straight year, otherwise we could get him for between $20-$25 million a season. I wouldn't call him a little above average either. He's a fairly good QB if you ask me

Nope. If the last 3 games have taught us anything, it's this: this team is nowhere near being able to compete. That tells me that it's time to go with a rookie QB
The problem with this though, is if you miss in the draft then you set this team back another 5 years. With our track record of drafting the past 17 years we will most likely end up drafting the wrong guy. Cousins easily has another 10 years ahead of him. It would be the same as drafting our own guy except we would be paying him a lot more money up front
-
I don't want to waste another 5 years waiting to see if a drafted QB is going to work out again. Lets just go for the proven guy. Go get Kirk Cousins in the offseason and focus the draft on other needs

What happened to Zay Jones?

The fact he reported it himself doesn't bode well for him playing in 6 days. Especially with their season pretty much over.. But if we play like we did the last 2 weeks, it won't matter.
Wth happened to this team? Does anyone have any serious explanation?? They were playing solid , if not very good football for 7 weeks, nothing flukey about their wins, played extremely close in 2 losses, then to perform like this, is pretty baffling to me
I was wondering the same thing. You can tell this team and especially the defense played with so much energy and emotion and gave it their all on every play. For whatever reason, they have been lazy, played like they havent cared and have shown no energy or passion like they did before. It is very baffling. I have started wondering if McDermott has all of a sudden said or done something that has ticked the players off in some way. The missed tackles are the real baffling thing. They seemed to have no problem tackling the first seven games

Here's a thought: maybe the only thing that has really changed over the past two weeks is that we aren't getting the turnovers anymore.
The running game has not been good all season. The passing game has not been good all season. The defense has given up yards all season. For all the talk of discipline and character, penalties have been a problem all season.
Think about it: this was hardly a proficient offense before the 2 game losing streak. How many times did we get a turnover, only to go 3 and out or settle for a FG?
How many times did a team drive, drive, drive, then fumble or throw a pick before they scored?
Tyrod is exactly the same QB every week. I was shocked to see him throw for such a small amount of yardage this week, but if a couple penalties don't get called on some decent passing plays he's right around his typical 150-200 yard game. The guy is a model of consistency, for good and bad. He is who he is.
However, when the team is 5-2 the QB gets a lot of credit for it. You get the snarky questions: "How can you question the great job he's doing? Where are the Tyrod haterZ now?!" Well, he was just not messing up and not blowing games, and making a few plays here and there to win. that works when you are causing a couple fumbles a game (and recovering them). Not to mention scoring defensive TDs. The thing is, he's still doing exactly the same thing, only now he's getting the blame. Nothing has changed in his play, though.
Without the turnovers the defense is getting gassed. At least if you give up a 60 yard drive but cause a turnover you have some energy and you demoralize the other side. But when the other team finishes out that drive with a TD it's you who get demoralized. Then the offense does its normal pass, run, check down, punt routine and you're right back out there. Any defense will wear down, and there's no exciting plays to get them back.
What we're seeing is essentially the same offense and defense, minus timely turnovers and flukey plays. This is who they have been all along.
I personally think the defense was playing better prior to the last two games. We weren't missing tackles before and now we are. We seemed to always be in the right position and now we have been out of place. If we had been bad at tackling all year then I would say that's how we really are.

I am not saying Dennison is blameless. But he is at absolute worst our 4th biggest issue on offense.
1. Line
2. Lack of a proper #2 back
3. Quarterback
The line had one extremely bad game which was against the Jets last week. Every other game they have been pretty decent and I wouldn't even say they were an issue yesterday.
The lack of a number 2 RB I'll give you but he should not be giving him carries on on 2nd and long. Or when we are down by 21 points. That is just being clueless in my opinion
QB I'll also give you. Tyrod is bad and doesn't know how to audible
I would say Dennison is probably 2nd on the list of offensive problems. The horrendous play calling in situations where he shouldn't be calling them is mind boggling.

Well the facts are that the last two weeks we have not run a lot on any down. Your perception sitting on your couch might tell you we do.... the reality is the past two weeks we have been heavily pass oriented - a bad idea with a QB who the game plan has always focussed on hiding. As for the throws to Shady at or near the line..... there are some called screens. The first play from scrimmage yesterday was a called screen that was almost batted down and then there was a called screen conversion to Clay on 3rd and short. And in fact last week one of the knocks was "why doesn't Dennison call more screens?" Because the majority of the other plays where Shady is catching it at or around the original line are not screens and they are NOT the play called. They are checkdowns. Checkdowns by a QB who despite holding the ball longer than almost any starter in the league can't see people open down the field or when he does isn't able to get the ball out fast enough to take advantage.
I know the Saints were in prevent (as they were for Taylor's last 3 drives) but why do you suppose the throws close to the line disappeared when Peterman came in? Because he ran the plays called and threw the ball on time. This is a timing offense, always has been through Shanahan to Kubiak to Dennison. It schemes people open if the ball is out when it should be. The checkdown might be all that left if you miss those windows and don't throw the damn ball when you should.
The Dennison hate is a distraction. The offense is being sunk by terrible line play - hence the high percentage of runs that don't work. Shady had one of the highest yards before first contact numbers last year and has one of the lowest this year. The way you compensate for poor line play is you go to a more pass oriented offense that focuses on getting the ball out of the QBs hands. That isn't an option for the Bills...... because Tyrod cannot run that type of offense.
Also another thing to think about is, how many times have we still been running the ball when we're down by a bunch of points? Yesterday we were still running the ball when we were down 24-3 pinned back on our own 10 yard line. To say that it's not the system and not blame Dennison is ridiculous.

Not this again..... people need to watch the actual plays and not just perceive they know what is being called. Over 70% pass last week, 65% this week. We do NOT run all the time on 1st and 2nd down.
I'm sorry we run A LOT on 1st and second down. You also have to think, how many times of the throws that are called on 1st and 2nd do you see a screen to Shady right down the line of scrimmage. That's basically the same thing as a run play. Why do you think we have so many 2nd and 12's, 2nd and 14's and all those long second and longs constantly? It's because we usually either run on first down and get stuffed for either no gain or a loss or we throw a straight line screen to Shady out of the backfield. Then on those second and longs, how many times have we seen them call a run play to Tolbert, only to get stuffed and end in 3rd and 13. I can recall quite a few times this season where we ran it with Tolbert right up the middle on 1st and 2nd down and basically waste two plays. Every week I can sit at home and know exactly what plays we are going to run on 1st and 2nd down from my couch and majority of the time I am right. If I know that, you better believe the opposing defense does to. The offense is predictable plain and simple

Look how quickly he runs the no huddle as well. Every time Tyrod is in this situation he takes 30 seconds to get up to the line and run the next play

The offense has struggled, but I don't believe it's Dennison or the system's fault. His system has been successful in multiple places. He learned under Shanahan and Kubiak spending time with Denver, Houston, a stop in Baltimore as a QB coach, and then back to Denver before coming here.
The OL on the right side was never fixed. They blow up that side of the line every time. Then, because of the right side, they key on the left putting an extra defender or two. The holes for McCoy are nonexistent. The rushing game is not clicking because they can't block anyone in front of them. Terrible OL play.
We have all seen Tyrod. Most of us knew what he was while others pounded the table for him. He is not the guy. He still exhibits the same deficiencies that he has the last two years. He's a good guy, a hard worker, by all accounts a great teammate, and a decent game manager. He will never be a guy who carries a team with his arm. Peterman should at least be given the month of December to show what he's got. If he looks good then so be it. If not, we HAVE to identify our QB in the draft then make our move.
The WR talent is now there with Matthews, Benjamin, Jones, Thompson, Holmes, and Clay (when healthy). We have guys who have and can be productive. This again falls on the QB and the OL. The OL has to give the QB time to throw and the QB has to be able to read a defense then deliver an on time ball to the right guy.
Dennison's system is mainly short to intermediate timing routes with some deep passes mixed in off of play action. The emphasis is on an accurate QB who gets the ball out on time. A lot of times that QB is having to throw the ball to an opening where his guy will be, not waiting until your guy is open to throw it. None of these are strengths for Taylor. If the holes get filled the system will work.
We all got our hopes up when we won a few. Now everyone is looking for a place to lay the blame. Blame who you want, but I don't see this as Dennison's failure. He does what he can to try to cover up Tyrod's weaknesses, but with 3 years of tape it's damn near impossible.
I believe it is partly the system. I will admit Tyrod was awful yesterday but you can't tell me that it makes sense for Dennison to be calling 2nd and 15 run plays especially to Mike Tolbert. It also seems that we run on 1st and 2nd down all the time. The offense is extremely predictable. In some ways it is the system

How does that draft chart work if we were to throw in a 2019 first rounder? Just curious
