SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Would you apply that logic to the Colts or Saints? Disclaimer: not saying Tyrod is better than either of those QB's. Just suggesting that maybe the other guys on the team are a little important too. I had already made a comment on the Saints a page or 2 back. Andrew Luck He's in the same situation Peyton was in. Not enough of a supporting cast. On that note ... imo both Andrew and Drew are far better than TT. Put either Luck or Drew on the Bills and it's a lock to make the playoffs.

Watkins and McCoy have missed a total of 16 games combined since TT has been QB. seems like his supporting cast hasn't been on the field for him many times-esp Watkins. Just like that, the Bills can get a QB like Brees or Luck. Didn't know it was that easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I also took a look at scoring in wins vs. losses over the past 2 years (while looking into some KC stuff). I actually did find an interesting trend that I don't like while looking, FWIW. First off, in our 15 Wins over the past 2 years: Bills PPG: 27.1 Opponents PPG: 14.5 In our losses over the past 2 years: Bills PPG: 21.9 (including 3 games with EJ/Cardale for a quarter) Opponents PPG: 30.5 So there is about a 5 point swing in our Offense's production between wins and losses, but a 16 point swing in what our D gives up between our wins and losses. Seems crazy! Also, over the past 2 years our Defense has allowed 24+ points 14 times. We are 0-14 in those games. We are 15-3 in games where our opponents were held to 23 or fewer points. We suck at shootouts, clearly. And to my point with KC, their Defense has allowed 24+ points 8 times over the past 2 years. We allowed 8 such games last season alone. Why would that be?

JM2009 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Why would that be? The offense is built for the run, not shootouts. This was Ryan's plan before TT was ever the starting QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was Ryan's plan before TT was ever the starting QB. or the QB just isn't capable of getting the job done, and it was the superior running game as to why the Bills scored the amount of points the did. It's the NFL 2017 version where everyone scores and scores a lot, QB needed who can pass and win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We score more on average than Brees, Luck, Flacco or Rivers. Guess that puts Tyrod into perspective doesn't it. I've always said the biggest problem is that we watch every play of every game for the Bills and most posters only watch the highlights of other teams, of course we look worse in those circumstances.

GunnerBill Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) One interpretation of those numbers is that the defense was responsible for many of our wins. But then that is true... some of Tyrod's worst games on tape last year were games we won. Cincy, Arizona, LA.... And don't get me wrong, I think the defense was mainly awful the last 2 years. I just am still struggling to come up with wins where I go "Tyrod was the main reason we won." He has had some of his best games in "nearly" performances.

#34fan Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 There's a very real chance that TT can give us tremendous leverage at certain field positions/down & Distances... If Yates, Peterman, or Jones (hey, it could happen!) emerges as more of a mainstay QB, perhaps TT can be trotted out after expensive Sacks.... Even short yardage situations where other backs can benefit from his presence on the field... Hmmmm.... I see a way to turn the situational love TT gets from the stat-guys into scoring drives for us.

Some good posters have proved this and yet the agendas keep going. TT must have done something to you guys. How can you even root for the team to win this year is beyond me when the handful of you have an infatuation of hate against the starting QB.
