folz Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Today's game was almost as boring as the 6-3,Cleveland game a few years back. Tyrod showed that he still sucks. Still nice to see the only win of the year on such a beautiful day. Its lovely to see JM and transplant still holding onto to their Tyrod dreams just like on the bbmb. Keep the faith fellas. He blows. This kind of post just kills me. I have no problem with posters who think that Tyrod has hit his ceiling and think it isn't good enough; that he won't improve the areas of his game where he is weak. Especially when they point out specifics about his game they have a problem with. I'm personally taking a wait and see approach for this year, yet I do think the team can win with Tyrod. But to just say he sucks and blows is not only pointless, it is wrong. First of all, no one in the league sucks. The worst guy on the worst team is a phenomenal athlete. Secondly, the team won today and Tyrod played well. 222 yds passing, 43 yds. rushing, and 2 TDs is at least adequate, not sucking. If you're actually going to root against the QB of the team that you follow, you can at least discuss what specifically he did in today's game that bothered you. Ya know, actually add to the discussion of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBills Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Tyrod is 100% holding this offense back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 TT played decent game.. Hopefully he builds off of it. Transplant.....no sense in escalating your blood pressure over someone who won't give TT credit you feel he deserves. You might say that you're not getting worked up but replying to every single response that isn't favoring Taylor this game is showing frustration.

You might say that you're not getting worked up but replying to every single response that isn't favoring Taylor this game is showing frustration. He takes his crusade very personally...as if his entire existance is linked to Taylor becoming the guy he so dearly believes he can become. I just had to chuckle when I saw the over the top responses to what he did yesterday. The best part was many that were steadfast about TT not having issues throwing over the middle or making reads proclaiming he has now shown us he can do it now...based off that game and those throws. Kudos to TT for a solid performance. Going beyond that at this point is exaggeration, delusion, or wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Tyrod played a nice game. If you take back the drop in the end zone it was really good. I always judge a QB on a few things (because it's all that matters): TD to turnover, 3rd down and RZ efficiency. He played well in all of those areas. It wasn't perfect but it was a good and effective game. That was a solid "B" from me. Agreed - I think after they review the game hopefully they will find some areas of improvement and they will adjust. I think this game was exactly what we have been seeing from him for 2 years. Some positives and some negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 He takes his crusade very personally... just as you take yours personally, so it goes both ways really. you have been on your anti taylor crusade while calling those like trans CoT. while he has been on his pro taylor crusade. in short, your comment is nothing more than calling the kettle black.

It's never been easy telling fellow Bills fans that their QB isn't the guy. Being brutally honest can be met with all sorts of reaction...many not very nice, and very emotional.

McCown was doing his best job of impersonating Trent Edwards. How do you complete 26 passes and have 187 yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the posters on this board have been here 15 plus years, and we have all bitched about terrible qb play. Taylor is not elite. No one here thinks he is, and suggesting otherwise is a straw-man argument. But he is the best qb they've had since Flutie. He's a legit NFL starter who had a good game yesterday against a team with a strong front 7 and one elite-looking safety (Adams). Let's see how he does next week against a better team on the road, but raining on the parade after an objectively good performance is foolish.

bmur66 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) He looked like an average QB yesterday except for his legs. I have never seen another that can slip defenders and run like him. Like a greased pig. And he throws a good ball on the run too.

4_kidd_4 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Is "adjusted completion percentage" anything like "winning the offseason"? As in, who comes up with this cabbage? And I have to agree with previous posters, it was a beautiful day with fam and friends, but the game itself was really kinda boring and sluggish. No pace, felt like a classic 'who wants it less'.

dave mcbride Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) A real stat based on things that should have happened but didn't? Sure sure. Huh? Please explain your logic. It makes no sense to me. It seems pretty obvious that one could adjust the completion percentage by including passes dropped that should have been caught. It is actually factored into the newer total qbr rating, the ooint being to provide a more accurate and true measure of the qb's performance. All the qb can do is deliver the ball; if a good throw is dropped, he shouldn't be assigned blame for it.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 From a BNBlitz article: http://buffalonews.com/2017/09/11/generous-cbs-harlan-off-game/ More Tyrod Love: Taylor also received a lot of love on the CBS post-game show, with Bill Cowher his biggest fan: "I love Tyrod Taylor," said Cowher, praising his decision-making and ability to extend plays. Phil Simms, bumped off the No. 1 announce team, added "I never understand why he doesn't get the credit he deserves." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
