Rick Dennison says "I'm happy with the way he played yesterday," regarding QB Tyrod Taylor. #Bills

@ChrisBrownBills

Dennison: felt Tyrod was good with his timing in passing game, even threw it away when we had to, kept us on schedule as an offense. #Bills

 

 

This was my biggest positive takeaway. He played smarter.

We were 4-11 on third down with Taylor passing. 4-6 on third down running.

 

You be the judge.

 

:doh:

 

Buffalo Bills 1st downs: 10 by rush, 11 by pass, 2 by penalty

 

3rd and 7 Tyrod passes for a first down

3rd and 3 Tyrod rushes for first down

3rd and Goal Tyrod throws INT

3rd and 12 Tyrod incomplete

3rd and 11 Tyrod complete for 14 yards (imo the best play of the game for TT)

3rd and 3 McCoy rush for 1st down

3rd and Goal TD to Clay

3rd and 21 Tolbert run for 3 yards

3rd and 5 Tyrod incomplete, penalty, result was a 1st down

3rd and 16 Tyrod incomplete

3rd and 9 Tyrod scrambles for 3, 4th down

3rd and 8 Tyrod rushes for first down

3rd and 2 Tyrod complete, 1st down

3rd and 9 Tyrod complete short of first

3rd and 8 Tyrod incomplete

3rd and 7 Tyrod rushes for 1st down

3rd and 17 Tyrod scrambles for 5, 4th down

3rd and 12 Tyrod kneeled

 

Do you see a pattern? Here are some:

 

On every 3rd down save 2 the coaches wanted the ball in TT's hands.

 

Tyrod ran for 3 of the rushing first downs.

 

Every single 3rd and less than 5 was converted

 

Do you notice at the end of the game when the Bills were in rush rush pass all of the 3rd down attempts were 3rd and 7+ which has a low conversion level LEAGUE wide

 

Context matters...

Your data is inaccurate.

He got his hands on it, and didn't pull it in. Regardless of where the ball went after that, how is that not a dropped pass?

He never got his hands on it. He was drilled in the back as soon as the ball touched his hands. Hopefully, there will be a better angle on the all-22s.

Tyrod is who he is at this point. Pretty average at best QB. I don't ever see the Bills being a playoff team with him at QB.

We can most certainly be playoff team with him as the QB. If our defense becomes top 10 and with a top 8 rushing team and TT playing as well as he did yesterday, we are a playoff team

Just went through the play-by-play on espn.

We were 9-18 on 3rd down (8-17 on plays, 1-1 on penalties). Feel free to look for yourself. I'm guessing PFR didn't count the one from a penalty as an attempt/conversion.

I'm glad you found a link. I went through the game log and did the work myself. Look again. I have all 18 3rd down plays. Please speak to the points I made now that we know the information is correct.

The 21 first downs obviously didn't all come on 3rd down (I believe this is what you think is incorrect) as they converted 8 of them for first downs.

 

By the way that 8 for 17 which is 47.1% is currently 7th best in the NFL.

Yup if he went through my post he would have seen that is exactly what I did as well. Also they were 5 for 7 to start the game. They stopped converting when they went into their shell and started the run run pass.

Alex Smith is better than TT

 

I actually think Alex Smith is the best player comp for TT.

Oh my God, yes.

And yet if you put Alex Smith on the Bills the last two years with the WRs injuries, and coaching and horrid defense, he doesn't play as well. Probably worse than TT. And if you put TT on the Chiefs the last couple years with the good coaching and great defense he probably plays a little better than he did on the Bills.

Indisputably.

While that's true, Tyrod didn't deliver when passing. He's the QB.
