  1. The Bills did upgrade their line to improve the run game, and to a large extent have designed the offense to Taylor's strengths. It improved the run game but not the passing game, which is no doubt why this staff has seemingly decided to remake the offense next seas

    Say what? It's the same starting O line as last year. I'd argue that the increased reliance on zone blocking actually weakened it. And I"m not sure ANYONE is in position to make statements about the offensive game plan being designed around Taylor's strengths this year. I'd say it's the opposite at this point, but that is still debatable,imho.

  2. Hard to tell where the LOS are because Centers routinely move the ball closer to themselves on shotgun snaps. To me the yard marker is clearly inside the 13. Contact startered at the 12.

     

    But neither here or there tie is always going to the offense in a passing league. But at the end of the day it doesnt matter.

     

    NEWSFLASH to those that want to complain Superstars get calls. Happens all over the League.

    Did you recently discover the term "Newsflash"?

  3. This is why I have little faith in this regime already, it's the whole Nix/Gailey infatuation with Fitzpatrick all over again.

     

    Just like with Taylor, Fitz was also a holdover from the previous regime that was given 'the benefit of the doubt'. We all know how that story ended and it will be no different with Taylor if these people truly believe he's not the problem and gives this team the best chance of winning.

    You familiar with the terms of service? You should give it a read sometime...

  4. Zay clearly looked to be running a Post Corner Route. Tyrod looked like he was scared to throw the ball towards the sideline then threw it too far and high at his back shoulder. Zay did everything he could to turn around and get the ball. If Tyrod throws that ball to the right spot then Zay walks into the endzone. Should have been a big W for our team on the road. This year has the makings of 2014 all over again. Lights out defense, but middling offense. To be fair though, Cam missed some throws in the Redzone that could have been TD's for Carolina.

    Wasnt that route supposed to go to the back pylon in a straight line from the break?
  5. If the route was supposed to be a straight line from the break to the pylon, he ran the route incorrectly. May have still been a back shoulder catch, but would have been resulted in a touchdown. And before I get hammered for being an apologist, cultist, or whatever you guys think of people who don't blame every shortcoming of the Bills on Taylor, he was not a very good QB yesterday, and leaves a LOT of plays on the field.

  6. I think the all-22 from Carolina will show windows to throw into that Tyrod won't throw into. The offense is asking him to do things he can't do because the team is focused on a longer term direction that doesn't involve him. He also hasn't adjusted back to the league and isn't good enough for me to say that's the wrong direction for the team.

     

    I think we learned why they acquired so much draft capital. They have an idea of what they want they want to do and they Don't have the talent for it yet. Still, I think the team is well-coached.

    What does that mean?

  7. These are great as usual. Thanks, again.

     

    I think that gif of the goalline play to Clay again shows that he should have caught the ball, hits him in two hands, in addition to being a late throw and behind him. But he has to catch that. I would expect Nick O'Leary to catch that.

     

    One thing that came to mind though as I read the post was that there probably was a good chance that TT waited so long because the play before the ball was batted down at the line. If you look close, the Jets DE is in his eyeline when waiting for Clay to get open. If he throws early as everyone wanted him to, including me, it could be batted down again. So he waits the extra beat, the DE is taken a little wider by Glenn, and then TT throws. That could be it in a nutshell, rather than he holds it way too long like he often does.

     

    Still not a good pass and still needs to be caught anyway.

    Agreed. If you look close, Clay wouldn't have even been open without a blatant push off...

  8.  

    Basically the best place to tailgate, because you aren't subject to the bills lot rules - but there isn't a ton of the riff-raff because they'll throw you out if youre smashing tables and being a clown.

    Hammer's is a great one. I like the lot right across on the Big Tree side of Glen though. Great band or 2 every opener, nice folks, no riff raff, and you can throw the football around on Glen as there is little traffic. Plus the guy has an actual working toilet in his basement that you can use. We only started going there because you have to get to hammers lot by 7am to get a spot for the opener.

  9. 1 - 3 heading for a top 5 pick

    2 - 2 heading for another mediocre year, with a 'there's technically a chance' in November/December

    3 - 1 heading for another mediocre year, with a 'there's technically a chance' all the way up to week 17, but still miss

    4 - 0 heading to 12 straight losses after we get way too full of ourselves about breaking the drought

     

    At least that's my take ;)

    I threw up a little in my mouth after reading that.

     

     

    Because you are probably right.

  10. Had a rock band " Dark Water"? at a tailgate on Abbott Rd they rocked it out playing 80's metal.

     

    Was that right across the street from Hammer's lot? I was in the RV parked tight at the fence next to the driveway...

     

    Weirdest thing for me was how sober the fans were. Not many noticeably blacked, almost no fights. I only saw one really drunk person fall down.

     

    It was like a Giants game.

     

    And man was it quiet in that stadium for a home opener. McD said he loved the energy, but he ain't seen nothin' yet. Personally, I think he should be pissed at the fans because it was so quiet.
