C.Biscuit97 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Im telling you right now....if Rex can get this D fixed you will see a world of difference in all aspects of the team. I expect Tyrod to do his thing....but imagine a team that creates turnovers and forces punts giving TT more time with the ball in his hands? 1) It's sad that we have to "fix" a top 5 defense 2 years ago. 2) As bad as the defense was, there were certainly games that they keep us in the game where the offense struggle (Tennessee, the 1st Jets game, Dallas, the 2nd NE game). But yes, if Taylor is the second coming of Russell Wilson, we will be in great shape. Personally, I think the Bills have better overall talent than the Seahawks. Pay him now, franchise Gilmore next year. Dick Jauron and Ryan Fitzpatrick think this is very smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HT02 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/06/15/bills-qb-coach-taylor-eyes-right-place-time/ This kids deep ball with his work ethic and film study are going to push us into the playoffs. I will believe it when I see it. Everybody is "really progressing" or "giving 150%" or "dramatically improved" during training camp. I am hoping Tyrod is the answer and did make big strides but as they say wish on one hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 91 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Something about EJ's eyes in 3, 2, 1... Would have actually likes to know what he looks at as well. To put the slow eyes thing to bed. Possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saw it last season. As good a deep ball as any QB in the game. As good a runner as any QB in the game (with the possible exception of Newton). Avoided the big mistake all season. Finished right near the top of the league in TD:INT ratio, passer rating, yards per attempt and went 8-6 as a starter. All in his first season. Like I said, you already saw it. The question is can he replicate it and build on it with his opponents having more film on him and can he open it up a bit more. But by reading your post, you would think the guy sucked last year. And by the way, you are wrong about everybody looking good in training camp. If you recall, Manuel looked startlingly bad in 2014, which carried into the preseason and led them to frantically signing Orton in the 11th hour.

prissythecat Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 second half of the Jags game. What did his final series --when the Jags were no longer in prevent-- look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 What did his final series --when the Jags were no longer in prevent-- look like? you mean when roman pulled that awful roll out to throw a pass against his body that needed zip/accuracy to beat the defender? maybe ej shouldve fired it earlier, but.... yea, that looked terrible, but i wouldve told you that without having seen the play. i like roman but that play call always bugged me.

hondo in seattle Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 We've all bought into offseason hype before. Let's hope this is real. Many, many years ago, I used to buy into pretty much all the hype. A few years ago, I was buying into maybe 50%. I'm down to maybe 10% now. Time teaches hard lessons.

Time teaches hard lessons. much like life. But the hard lesson make us a bit wiser , less gullible, and expend little energy towards a subject matter that has little hope for success. But i do hope, regardless. and this season i think is the best chance Bills have had in years to "get er dun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jletha Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I will believe it when I see it. Everybody is "really progressing" or "giving 150%" or "dramatically improved" during training camp. I am hoping Tyrod is the answer and did make big strides but as they say wish on one hand... Honestly this is where I look to the beat reporters and the reports are so far so good. Reading Joe B and Ty Dunne and others raving about Tyrod and how good he looked is very different than what we had to read with EJ. There was such a weird schism on this board where half the people were convinced that there was a real agenda on the reporters end to not let EJ start, instead of just accepting he wasnt any good. I trusted them there and I trust them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trusted them there and I trust them now. I think the only reason we get reasonable and decent reports over the last two months is Kim punched editor in chief at BN in the mouth. And i am quite serious. BN bashed the hell out of everyone last year too. You did notice the significant change in tone this year didn't you ? Right after the ultimatum about reporting details of practice. I am very proud of Bills FO for taking a hard line towards the neverending bashing from the local media which spilled into national media. looks at how many semi positive blips come up on PFT about the Bills now , as compared to last year.

There are actual living, breathing human beings who can type complete sentences that believe EJ Manuel is a better QB than Tyrod Taylor right now.
