3rdand12 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Tyrod threw the ball 36 times today? So when the Bills lose(like last week), it's okay to criticize the OC for ignoring Watkins the entire 2nd half, but when they win(like today), he can't be criticized? Once an idiot, always an idiot. If we fans aren't actually OCs i don't think we are in position to call them out so harshly. Last week was a bit odd for sure. but the play calling this week was much more fun ! Myself, i look to the players to execute. felton whiffing, mulligan holding and stuff like that. Roman is hardly an idiot. But if you are calling me an Idiot, i might have to agree ! Things is if Hogan and Woods and Clay actually caught footballs in bounds or whatever more often) consistently. then sammy could get wide open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 I didn't mean for this to be a criticism of Sammy's targets. I didn't even know how many he had. The Bills usually win when TT throws less so I really don't care how many he has. The point was that stretching the field like that is something not every team can actually do. The Bills are doing it, and it sets up the run game they really want. Then there is the threat of the QB run, They throw to him deep because it works. The other stuff is good too but they should keep doing this until someone stops it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For much of the recent past we've been missing this element and the defense would just stack the box against the run. Remember all those times struggling to get into the red zone, and not finding a way in once the field was shortened? With TT the big plays show everyone we can strike deep at any time, and they have to try to figure out how to defend that, and the run (with a pretty good McCoy) and now also TT's runs. It makes it tough on everyone. Only thing I miss is last year's D. Edited December 7, 2015 by Georgia Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Tyrod is gifted in this area - he's got an innate ability to throw rainbows. It's really something special to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 @BuffaloBillsPR: #ThrowingBombs: Tyrod Taylor is the first @buffalobills QB to complete three 40+ yard completions in a game since Drew Bledsoe in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshermw Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Tyrod is still waiting too long to make some of these throws. The deep one to Sammy down the sideline could hv easily been a TD Wow. UFB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Still wondering why virtually the only plays Sammy gets targeted are go routes. The guy is a complete WR and they need to use him as such. I'm not sure I've seen a WR screen to him in a Bills uni yet. And he made his living doing those screens at Clemson. I've wondered about that too, thinking last year it was because he had the ribs bugging him all season and they didn't want to risk it, but this year I thought we'd start to see some bubble screens or slants, but for some reason they just want him going deep. Maybe because they think he's fragile and the go route doesn't usually come with the big hit or tackle. Roman should have a Sammy screen in the playbook though. You know he does, just waiting for the right time................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a great catch on a post route over the middle that TT threw perfectly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Without Watkins this team would be toast. Glad he's here and starting to get chemistry with Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 But I thought we were all ENLIGHTENED 3 times. Sammys soft ! And he's dumb and stuff. I was only enlightened 2 times. I must have missed out on one Watkins only needs 365 more yards for 1,000...if they keep this up he could have it with a game to spare... And he missed 4.5 games compared to last years playing with an injury. Stepping up in a big way at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injuries and QB shuffles Sammy has dealt with in one & 3/4 seasons here are well chronicled, but here's the biggest thing he brings; Winning Records. He doesn't know or care about 15 years of futility. He contributed to a winning team last year and in all likelihood will do so again in year 2, while finally having consistency at QB. Does anything else really matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen our "professional" coaches and GMs make so many blunders over the years that it seems kind of natural to second guess them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) why only 4 targets to sammy ? should be +10 every game. We scored 30 as a team (should of been 34). Sammy had over 100 yards and a td- be happy my friend we had great balance against an awesome defense.
