There's degrees of conservative/aggressive playcalling. Going for it on a 4th and 4 from your own 31 with 2+ minutes left in OT is extremely aggressive. Say the Colts go for it and don't convert (very high chance they don't convert) and the Bills kick a FG to win. How do you think Chargers/Ravens view that? Knowing they would be out of a playoff spot b/c the Colts decided to take a ridiculous risk?

The outcome of the game doesn't really matter for the Colts. They had a 4th and 4 from their own 31. Going for it (and not converting) would have been viewed pretty negatively around the league.

In sports and politics always beware a stat that so neatly fits a narrative. Why are we looking at only Zay Jones? How do the rest of our RB's/WR's/TE's look for this stat? Looking at the stat for just 1 WR would also include Nathan Peterman targets to Zay Jones. This stat just means that TT has a lot of intentional throw aways in Zay jones general direction (in addition to a number of missed throws - chemistry perhaps?). Despite the popular narrative, TT is NOT an inaccurate passer. Look at his completion % for the season and his career. He's fairly average. I think a lot of people on this board underestimate how bad the "average" NFL QB is.

Whaley was the GM, he gets full blame/credit for any draft pick. If Whaley was letting Rex dictate every draft pick why would we even have Whaley on the payroll?

I really have no idea what the ref thought he saw there. Gaines was close to hitting the guy in the head, but he clearly didn't. The Chiefs head didn't snap either. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if Gaines HAD hit the guy in the head it still wouldn't be a penalty. Once a receiver catches the ball and starts running up field they are no longer considered to be defenseless. I thought the holding on Dawkins on our last good drive in the 4th was a pretty bad call as well. After not calling a hold the entire game you decide to call that ticky tack penalty? Cost the Bills at least a FG.... Oh well We won and this will be forgotten pretty quickly.

I was wondering if a team that was 5-4 or better had ever benched a starting QB for a rookie before. Great find on the 2004 Giants! The Giants started that year 5-2. Lost the next 2 and decided to start their rookie QB at 5-4. They proceeded to lose the next 6 games before winning in week 17 to finish 6-10. Wow....let's hope the Bills season doesn't end at 6-10. It'll be worth it if Peterman becomes the next Eli Manning, although I have my doubts there. There's a reason Peterman was drafted #171 overall and Eli went #1 overall

Unemployed former NFL scout says Tyrod Taylor can't win games. Tyrod has a 19-18 career record as a starter Huh....looks like we can win games with him

How is it not mostly Dennison's fault? He took over an offense with the top rushing attack in consecutive years, and (with the same personnel) has dropped it to 14th? His playcalling is suspect at best. How many times do we need to run Tolbert up the gut into a stacked box before he can admit that's a bad idea? Or throws to Tolbert in the flat? Pretty much any play featuring Tolbert is a bad idea. Teams have been stacking the box against TT since 2015 and our previous coordinators found ways to run the ball effectively.

I was wondering when we would get the "TT played so poorly the DEF got tired" argument. That's only a valid point if your DEF is holding the other team in check until the 3rd/4th quarter. The Bills D got shredded from the 1st play. There were 3 drives the Saints didn't score on. Their 2nd drive when they fumbled in the red zone. And the other 2 were the end of the 1st and 2nd half (kneeling the clock out).

TT is a known quantity. Our 5th round rookie QB is not. I don't put much stock in preseason or playing 2 series at the tail end of a historic blowout loss.

Because we're in a wild-card spot and TT gives us the best chance to win? This is an entirely different discussion if we're 3-6 or worse

What games have the Bills won this year in spite of Tyrod's play? Tyrod is what he is. He's a slightly above average QB that limits turnovers. He's never going to be able to carry a team to victory (with how the DEF played today I doubt there's a QB in NFL history that could've won this game).

Peterman is a 5th round pick that looked good in preseason (against 2nd/3rd stringers) and looked good in the 4th quarter of a blowout loss (against 3rd stringers playing loose coverage). Let's not overreact to 1 bad game from Tyrod when the entire team played like hot garbage.
