Virgil

He only makes 6.25 mil, so we could afford that with it being prorated. I know this will never happen, but imagine taking the pressure off the draft. Give them a 3 and a 5 for those two guys and then we can go wherever we want with 1 and 2. And before anyone says "we wouldn't have a 3, 4, and 5 pick?! Who cares if we are getting starting players for those 3 picks. You are gambling with picks 4 and 5 every year and these guys are both young.

Rotoworld is now saying he could be had for a 4th or 5th round pick. That's beyond worth it to me. Yes, we don't have a 4th, so I'd make it a 5th and a conditional 7th next year. We can also extend him after the season to reduce his cap hit. The real question is, what Safety can we trade for after the **** show we saw at the position today.

As said by others, people have picked their sides and don't want to budge. It's no question to me that TT is better than both of them. This "discussion" is being had because the QB is almost always the first to take the blame. I'm not blindly defending TT as I've stated his completion percentage is a concern for me as well as his finish in games, but it was SO much worse with those before him.

That was probably the most broken I've seen Rex. Seeing his team as no better than it was last year in game 3 was really sinking in.

When he wins, he hasn't had to. But yes, there's a problem with this tempo late in games when trailing. Something is off there. STILL, better than EJ

Losman couldn't do anything but throw the deep ball. He looked lost against the Pats in the worst way. EJ couldn't throw a deep pass and couldn't improvise well at all. If he did, it was usually an INT. EJ was overall better, but only with safe and simple gameplans. I wanted both to succeed, like with TT. TT is better than both.

Sweet Jesus, everyone passed on this guy. Dallas didn't even want him. They wanted to trade up for Lynch. They tried to trade up for Cook. Then they tried signing Foles. **** happens and sometimes you get lucky

EJ fell apart when he felt pressure and made terrible decisions. He didn't escape anywhere near as good as TT does. And the deep ball? Do you remember how bad that was with him?

Those calling for Cardelle or EJ are just losing all sense of argument with me. No matter what you think about TT, he's better than both right now.

I'm torn on this. TT was a no doubter for me. However, if you compare him to all other QB's with the same amount of passes or higher, he has the 3rd lowest completion percentage. For someone with that few attempts, that's not good. I don't have an answer right now. When they are healthy for the last 6 weeks, let's see how he does.

I'm not positive and I honestly don't want to google it. But, I'm pretty sure we only have around 4 mil in space. Torrey Smith would be prorated to around 3 mil, so he would fit. I can't imagine Romo would as well with his contract.

The most?! I just don't understand the anger after this game. We all saw it coming

I can't argue with you. Your avatar is just too good

Can't afford him

Cut him? No Pay him after the season? No.

I counted 4 in the first half. I stopped paying that much attention to them after that. The Clay one was ridiculous

We can agree to disagree on this. I believe that TT's legs have extended drives and scored TD's that other QB's can't do. It doesn't make him elite, but it puts him in the 12-15 range of top QB's.

I agree with your second point. However, they've been running more trips formations and 4 WR sets and I'm not seeing a huge difference. Problem is, it's maybe 15% of the offense.

Ha! You're right. I'll update. It's easy to forget that amongst today's sh!t show

I can't decide between this game and the Jets game. Hogan doing it made it worse

This ^ However, I'm not for firing Rex in season

You sir, are a piece of ****

Dildo for the win!

They are who we thought they were! I wish my 2,500th post was about a better topic, but here we go! Another Bills/Pats game, another loss where we look outmatched in almost every facet and remind us why were aren't a playoff team. If that's too critical, I apologize, but it's just hard to feel optimistic about this team when you see this compilation of errors. CBS switched to the Raiders game with 6 minutes left. That's all you should need to know. 1 - Gilly - The only real positive in the game. He did a great job filling in for McCoy. Not the same type of runner, but close and had great speed. I feel a lot better about him as a backup after today. I would have like to have seen him used in the passing game more, but that's just a bonus. His TD run was fantastic Shout out to Powell for the catch of the season at the end! 2 - Penalties - Same old Bills. There were at least 6 plays that either gave the Pats a first down or offset a decent play by the Bills. I wasn't thrilled with the Refs this week as there were a lot of calls left on the field and it did feel a little bias towards the Pats, but it went both ways sometimes. No matter your opinion, the old penalty disease that Rex's team suffer from was back today and this just can't happen. And great job by Shaq with the roughing the passer right after his sack. 3 - Girlmore - Besides the Cardinals game, I can't think of a game where the words Elite would be used to describe him. Today was, by far, his worst game of the season. And that Jets game was BAD. What made it worse was the Hogan was the person who owned him. Pick your play: The long TD, the PI in the endzone, the blocking on the Brady run, or the hold at the end of the game to extend the drive. Just an overall brutal day by a guy we let walk in FA. If someone wants to pay this man 12 mil+, let them. 4 - Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes. Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis. Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion. Shall we go, you and I while we can Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds? Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter. Glass hand dissolving to ice petal flowers revolving. Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye. Shall we go, you and I while we can Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds? 5 - Carpenter - I don't want to harp on him as he has some decent weeks, but his misses are just too critical and happening more than they should. His miss was a 6 point swing and a huge part of this game. We need to bring in some competition this offseason. 6 - Bush - Why is he on this team? Bringing it out the endzone, the backwards pass to TT, watching Gilly vs him running the ball....he's a wasted roster spot. I just don't understand why he's out there unless it's just for depth at WR. But even that's not a valid excuse. 7 - Tyrod Taylor. I've been a big support of TT. I think he's an up and coming player who is dynamic in many ways. I think he's the best QB we've had in our playoff drought and love that he takes care of the ball. With that being said, I think that I'm coming to understand who TT is. Tyrod is a guy who has one tempo, will make long plays, will extend plays with his legs, and can be very accurate at times, but also slightly off enough to make it hard on the WR's. Today, TT was a rollercoaster. He missed Reggie twice for a TD on the first drive. When he scrambled on 1st down, Reggle broke wide open into the flat and didn't even get a look. On the pass that did go to him, it was so high and fast the Bush couldn't even get his arms fully extended in time. His second drive was almost perfect, but drops killed him. He had a beautiful ball to Tate down the sideline. He had some brutal drops and a huge one by Clay deep. When he was off, he was high with his throws. The most frustrating thing is his tempo. Whether it's tied, down 10, or 2 minutes left, I just don't see the throws or urgency that you see with the great ones. He doesn't turn it over. I can see why the people who don't like him complain, even though I don't know what they think is better. To me, TT is the best option we have and this draft doesn't look good. Those who say EJ makes me think they weren't a fan two years ago. (Yes, he had some good throws at the end) As for TT, I keep hoping to see him take it up a level with experience, but I'm not seeing. Good or bad, he's the same guy he was last year. It's good enough to win if he has a defense and run support, but he's not going to put the team on his back and do it himself. 8 - The Defense - We gave up 31 points as of 1 minute into the second half. We sent the house multiple times, leaving WR in man coverage without getting much pressure. We rushed four and dropped everyone, but still got picked apart. We did get pressure in moments, but Brady had time for most of the day. Blanton was chasing guys all over the field and the drop off without Aaron was noticeable. Dareus made a few plays, nothing Elite. Overall, Brady has his way with us and this was a fairly healthy defense. Sorry Rex, not today. 9 - Rex Ryan - After this game and at the halfway mark, we are 4-4 and 1-3 in our division. This game didn't need to be critical, but the 0-2 start put us in this spot. Rex didn't contain the penalties. He didn't pressure Brady. He went defense in the draft and allowed us to be depth deficient on offense. That 4-0 run was great, but it's a full season. Halfway through, we have proved that we aren't anywhere near the Pats and we are in a lot of trouble with any kind of AFC tie breakers 10 - I apologize to the women and children of reading. These recaps are tough to keep perspective with and I'm going to take a quick time-out here and let something loose. I !@#$ing hate Brady and the Hoodie more than I should hate complete strangers who play a game for entertainment purposes. Every time I see Brady's face on the sideline or fist pumping, I wish the Lorax would just come out of the shadows and lay him out. And when the game was over with 8 minutes left, I just KNEW that Billicheat was going to go deep. People wanted to say that BB doesn't do stuff like that and it's a professional game. I don't believe that for a second. BB is a child and when his feelings get hurt, he reacts in kind. I cannot wait for the day these guys are gone and I pray that one of our guys delivers the hit that does it. Okay everyone. 4-4 heading to the west coast to face the 12th man for a prime time game. I'm not optimistic in light of how we normally perform in those circumstances, but we've been known to sweep NFC divisions. Go Bills!
