So early FGs are worth more than late ones? And are early TDs less valuable?Get the points early in the game. FG was the right call IMO.
-
Easy. Always go for the TD unless it's the end of the game and a FG wins it. Not even close.Our first points of the game came on our third possession. Our defense had already forced 3 & outs on Arizona's first two possessions and could be counted on to hold them if our offense failed to punch it in. Would you have gone for it on 4th & goal from the 1 and made a statement? Given the situation, absolutely go for it. What say you?

It's a simple defense: Line up four guys and send them after the passer, play tight coverage on the WRs, hit hard. Helps to have Fletcher Cox, though.Me too. Best coaching hire we had made in 15 years at any position and we only kept him for 1 year.

Schwartz is making Big Ben look pretty ordinary. Really getting after it.

Wait, are you saying EJ would be a good QB if he had just ridden the pine for a year or two? There is absolutely zero evidence to support such a theory. EJ lacks the basic skills to be a top-flight QB and has demonstrated that repeatedly. Having served as Kevin Kolb's understudy for a year would not have changed that.People want to make Jones the next whipping boy. Didnt we learn from EJ that you take someone with some sort of potential and throw him into disfunction he is not gonna be productive or improve.

Jim Mora Jr is an AWFUL coach. UCLA is loaded with talent and craps out every year. They are not a really good team.Perhaps, but actually I think it was because Rex watched the Super Bowl with Terry and Kim. Rex turned on the charm and schmoozinator and snowed the rookie owners and they were hooked.
Think about it, Rex would be a fun guy to watch the Super Bowl with.
Someone like Doug Martine perhaps?
If we were to be looking for a coach, and Kim and Terry like you, want an up and coming college coach, how about Jim Mora Jr.
He has NFL coaching experience/success. He has gotten UCLA from dog meat to a really good team. He gets great play from his QBs. Michael Vick, Hundley, and Rosen.
See what I mean?

So 16 regular season games is not enough to make a judgment about Tyrod, but 0 games is plenty to determine that Cardale would be worse? Got it. (PS, I do think Tyrod deserves more time, but the signs are not good--missing open throws, failing to go through his progressions, abandoning clean pockets, etc,)Is this a real question or are you trolling?
1. Taylor has just 16 games on his resume.
2. Taylor made the Pro Bowl last year.
3. They just gave Taylor a new contract, it 100% his team this year to prove himself considering the contract has favorable outs if he doesn't improve.
4. Cardale is NOT ready to play in the NFL.
5. Cardale is NOT ready to even play in college as a starter, hence why he lost his starting job.
6. EJ > Cardale by light years right now, and thats not an endorsement of EJ, thats how far away Cardale is. He is a project with upside, not an NFL ready QB.
7. This staff wants to win at all costs, they are NOT going to throw away the season this early.
8. This staff, FO, and Owners want to see if Taylor can continue to progress and they will give him time.
9. The change at OC is literally going to buy everyone more time as they will be assumed they need to adjust.
I mean I can go on and on and on about how unplausible this idea is. I can't imagine anyone would actually think this is a good idea, let alone plausible. Cardale is more likely to get cut then to start a game this year, and he is NOT going to get cut.

I agree. Interim coach makes no sense and Coughlin would never take that job. My guess is that he would be brought in as Director of Football Operations, or some such thing. If this season really starts to circle the drain, the Bills will need someone to rein in Whaley, to make sure he doesn't mortgage the future to try to save his own job. The Sammy trade smacked of that sort of mentality.if they want to hire him as a consultant to look over the organization from top to bottom I love it. It would be great for the Peluga's to get a full report from a man who has lived and breathed the sport for 40 years. If he is being considered as a full time football czar maybe , he could give them a few good years and set up a structure that could be in place for many years. If it is to come in as some sort of interim coach , not sure what that accomplishes

I'm not ready to dump TT yet. I think we need to see what happens over the next 6-8 games before we talk about running CJ out there. As it stands now, though, I don't see any way the Bills exercise the option on him, but that will likely be up to the next GM to decide.But then dump Tyrod at years end? Or pay him $27 million next year?
Thats the options based on his current contract (although Im not real familiar with what he needs to hit as far as incentives).
I say play Tyrod all year no matter the record. If he gets hurt, then you have to decide on EJ or Jones.
If Tyrod continues on his current path, I cant see paying him elite money next year. If he shows promise, we pay him the big money his contract warrents and head into next year with our QBs as Tyrod, Jones, and ???
-
Yeah, I think the "Playing early on a bad team will shatter his confidence" argument is nonsense. Almost any QB picked in the top 3 is going to start right away for a bad team. If that's going to destroy a guy, then he probably was never going to be any good anyway.Actually, I think Cardale's confidence is bullet-proof - def. a strong point and valuable commodity for an NFL QB.
And Cardale didn't look bad at all in preseason. He had one very good game, one mediocre one, and one not so good, all playing behind the second and third team O-line and throwing to now-unemployed receivers. If this team is 2-6 at the bye, I would run him out there.
-
I don't mind the pick itself; it's giving away two 4th round picks to move up a few slots when there are still loads of good players on the board and Ragland might be there when your turn comes anyway that I believe is inexcusable--a firing offense, actually. It amazes me how casually Whaley gives away our 4th round draft picks (Bryce Brown, Ragland, the extra pick to move up for Sammy).If Ragland didnt get injured and played like a young Ray Lewis you wouldnt be saying that, and if he played like Aaron Maybin I wouldnt be saying this.
-
Part of it is flat out negligence/incompetence at QB and OC and part of it is that the Bills run very few offensive plays. Hard to get Sammy a lot of targets when you are constantly going 3 and out.You would think it would be easy enough to get him targets but we havent seen this for his entire career. He has never gotten targets one would think he should get based on him being the #1 guy. Seems so overly simply which makes me wonder if there is something we are missing that only coaches and players are aware of that is the reason?
-
Yep, the Pats are obviously just a flash in the pan. Anyone can see that.God bless you JFH. Pats peaking too soon, LOL.
-
Then why give up a king's ransom to get him if you're not going to (or can't) target him? And even though he hasn't missed many starts, Sammy has seemingly rarely been 100%, and it looks like he's going to be hobbled for much of this season, too, if not shut down altogether. When you use multiple high draft picks to acquire one player, you are putting all those eggs in one basket, instead of spreading the risk around. When that one player you selected gets hurt, your whole investment tanks. That's one of the reasons I hated giving up two extra 4th round picks to take Ragland, who promptly got himself hurt. Awful trade and entirely unnecessary.He's simply not targeted enough.
-
And yet they still drafted a WR with their first pick. Hmm,Still love Hopkins game.
To think of what he has done in this league with the Trash QBs that have been throwing him the ball.
-
This can't be right. Didn't Kim P say before the season that Rex is not going anywhere?

Also did I miss the part where it said he gets the players healthy faster or how many player outside of Brady he sees?
I think that's in the second link. Regardless, this reflects very poorly on Brady.
-
Not a doctor--a snake-oil salesman. Thanks for the link. This guy should be in jail, and Brady should have his head examined for associating with him. Incredible.http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2015/10/09/tom-brady-alex-guerrero-neurosafe/
Here, so you can see how crazy I am. The guy still works for them off the books. Every fan should read these articles it sheds some light on how the pats players recover miraculously fast. Using a shady third party doctor so they are not held liable.

The best way to increase targets is to get more first downs. When the offense goes 3-and-out half the time, no one is going to see a lot of targets.Watkins said today the foot is fine. He's been able to do things that he was unsure of and the foot is no excuse. He wants targets , but also said RW and Clay need more targets too. They need to execute better as an offense. Besides, he's been open in these first two games. The foot hasn't been a problem really.

I have to say, the Buckeyes looked really impressive on Saturday, just toyed with Oklahoma. They would get my vote as no. 1.Check this out

With Watkins hobbled, we can expect that to continue.Happy that the 2016 Leading Bills WR is back from his concussion....
Who would have thought through 2 weeks Goodwin would be leading the team in yardage

Anyone else sick of Lionel Richie/Peyton Manning? If I see that ad one more time this weekend, my tv is not gonna make it.

Yep, the Pegulas put in place an infrastructure that was almost guaranteed to lead to disfunction. They really seem to be in over their heads.Why is that weird, given the reporting structure set up by the Pegulas where Whaley has no authority over the coaching staff and Rex, like Whaley and Brandon, report in parallel directly to the Pegulas?
