John from Riverside Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 1. The play where the ball was fumbled.......and he went and got it and prevented a turnover on our side of the field.....first one there picked it up and made sure it didnt turn into a negative play 2. The play where the pass was batted......and he went and batted it down and prevented the interception on our own side of the field Tyrod Taylor just gets it man....his brain is just so aware out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Totally agree. Very heads up plays in critical situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA Grant Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I also loved how much he slid. He wasn't sacrificing his body for an extra two yards. He took what was there and no more. He wasn't trying to prove anything to anyone. I think there was one drive where he scrambled twice in a row — the first time he barely got a yard, went down, maybe could've fought for more, but was smart to go down before getting hit; and the next play he gained like 20 yards. He's smart, he's accurate, he's fast, he's got a great arm. KNOCK ON WOOD but I think we've got our man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I wish he actually slid a little more, and a little earlier, but then he slipped down the sidelines for another 10-20 yards after I screamed for him to "GET DOWN". Overall? WOW! Hard to nail down just two plays. Edited September 13, 2015 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Calm, cool, and collected. Efficient offense. Scrambled at the right times. That's the kind of play the Bills need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Calm, cool, and collected. Efficient offense. Scrambled at the right times. That's the kind of play the Bills need. And did you see the spiral on the throw to Watkins that went long? Man! In tough conditions, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Agree with the batted ball but the fumble was all on him. He lost the ball without being touched. The fact that he didn't let that turn into a nightmare is good, but I wouldn't list that as one of his better plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he didn't let that turn into a nightmare is good, but I wouldn't list that as one of his better plays. It wasn't one of his better plays it was one of his worst and only bad ones. BUT... it was a very TELLING play, because he simply didn't panic at all. A guy who panics falls on the ball. He calmly picked it up and ran. I was hugely impressed by that play. One of the reasons I think he may be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 He's smart, he's accurate, he's fast, he's got a great arm. KNOCK ON WOOD but I think we've got our man.

MDH Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Anyone who said that was an idiot. This was a very good first game. I'm not concerned at all and it is only partially because of TT. This O has so much talent and Roman is an experienced guy in making QBs looks good I think either Taylor or EJ could have a "breakout" year. Put a QB in a good spot and it's much easier to make him look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 We absolutely should not be thinking about contract extention or anything based off one game (I did joke about it during the game though) We have TT on a cheap contract for at least this year.......let this play out One thing we do know - We are 1-0 - We just beat a team that went deep into the playoffs last year and their start QB - Our QB played very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The best thing about Tyrod Taylor is he is only going to get better as the season goes on. Needs to get Sammy involved though, very disappointed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's these type of just... ball player, football IQ plays that the Bills have lacked for a long time at the QB position. I am excited about TT.

Optometric Insight Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I loved how Tyrod kept the drive going after the many holding calls. A penalty has usually meant the end of a drive for us recently, but not today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This O has so much talent and Roman is an experienced guy in making QBs looks good I think either Taylor or EJ could have a "breakout" year. Put a QB in a good spot and it's much easier to make him look good. Totally agree. And all TT needs to do is not make mistakes and this offense will be good. My post was more about Edwards than TT. He was given credit by Bills fans for stuff that he never did. Edwards did one thing very well and that was it. He was a smart guy. He read defenses pre-snap and knew where he would go with the ball and was pretty accurate with short passes. That's all he ever did well. If he was rushed he was terrible. He was never a good QB even when we played a few games in a row where that is all we had to do. For some reason some Bills fans thought he was good under the rush and he was terrible. Always.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You know what's funny-- TT looked more like Alex Smith than like Kaep. Very efficient, good start. I think he showed a lot of promise and by mid season, could be much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His long run that set up the TD after halftime was far better than anything Smith could do on the move... and Smith is a good runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 My favorite came on the opening drive of the 2nd half when he ripped that 10yrd out to Woods right at the sticks on 3rd down with a rusher directly in his grill. He keeps that up and we will make a deep playoff run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 There was a play that broke down where he scrambled and was about to go out of bounds, then realized, "keep the clock running" and went down in bounds, that was very impressive to me.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 And did you see the spiral on the throw to Watkins that went long? Man! In tough conditions, too. The other pass to Watkins also showed some sick talent too. He was scrambling right and ripped an absolute laser to Sammy (albeit in double coverage). It wasn't caught or picked, but I don't know I've seen anyone fire a rocket 20yards downfield without it ascending or descending. It was a rope.

Simon Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Great throw. What's up, Simon? What's goin on man? I've always wondered what the unrealized potential of this forum could be if the Bills ever actually became a really good football team. Very glad you're around to help find out!
