r00tabaga Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 That was Ann AWFUL football game with 2 bad teams. Catch the ball and you win the game. In general though those teams lack playmakers. I love the 4-3 from both these teams. They both are playoff caliber D's imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPT Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 It wasn't a perfect throw that led him into the endzone, but #1 WR's make that catch all day long and give their team 1st & goal at the 1. Tyrod could be Aaron Rodgers, but he's not. Make the catch you're paid to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general though those teams lack playmakers.Cam, Olsen, Benjamin, and probably McCaffrey are playmakers. Olsen missed more than half the game. We played pretty well on defense except middle of field 5-15 yards, which was my only complaint last week too, against a terrible team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why bother blithering about this, as they pretend to be football experts? I always thought we had the best, most knowledgeable fans. The old saying BILLIEVE doesn't run threw all fans brains. Some are just too bitter. They are not the real Buffalo fans. A real fan supports their team NO MATTER WHAT. If Zay bounces back and lets this fuel him, we could have something big here.

dezertbill Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Â Â Right, there was no room on the sideline.......if Taylor throws it where he's going it very likely ends up out of bounds. Â Taylor had a good view of him......he threw the ball where he hoped Jones would go. Agreed. On that play I can't imagine the ball is intended to be thrown to lead the WR to the sideline. The ball has to be intended to lead the WR to the endzone, which is where Taylor threw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan1960 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Should have been caught, can't blame the qb as every pass is not perfect. Just like in baseball if the ball hits the glove and the fielder doesn't catch it that's an error on the fielder, same thing in football, ball hits both hands should be caught, that his is job as an receiver, rookie or not, just my opinion.

Buffalo716 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) This isn't about me, it's about Gunner.  He says it wasn't possible........and yet it just f*cking happened........and it wasn't just Manning.......they won the game in the regular season against NE that gave them homefield in the playoffs with the equally AWFUL Brock Osweiler.  So just how implausible is it that an Alex Smith or Tyrod Taylor could be in championship games? Not implausible at all.  I'm all about QB play.........don't be the guy that doubts that........I just don't care to read the drama queen takes about how the team is going nowhere without a great QB. Ok fair points But Without a doubt Alex smith Is 10X the QUARTERBACK that TT is. There stats may be similar but they in no way ARE EQUAL PROFESSIONAL QUARTERBACKS. Smith has learned all the QB nuances throughout the years and has the pedigree. when it comes to being a PRO QUARTERBACK Alex Smith is way ahead of TT in running an offense  If we had Alex Smith we are a top 4-5 team in the AFC  Going to the last play, I do believe TT threw it well enough and it should've been caught Edited September 17, 2017 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/9266053/ezgif.com_optimize.gif Jones turns the wrong way, if Taylor throws it to outside shoulder Jones goes out of bounds. If Jones runs more vertical route that is a TD. Even if he turned the same way - if he was running for the pylon/EZ, the ball would have been in a place where it was far more easily caught. Instead he started to run to the 5 yd marker. If the ball was thrown towards the sideline to the outside shoulder with the route he was running, the CB coming off Shady would have most likely knocked it down or intercepted it.

HappyDays Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I just watched fowler make a catch that was 15 times more difficult than Zays in the Broncos game. I am shocked there are people saying Zay would have had to make a circus catch to haul this in... This a pass that hit his hands. It is a pretty routine catch by NFL standards. Most QBs aren't throwing dimes 40 yards downfield, the receiver has to make the right play on the ball. He also had another drop earlier in the game, I believe that was on 3rd down. I mean it's one game and shouldn't have come down to that so I'm not gonna pile on Zay too bad. Just can't understand why everyone is piling on Tyrod. Would Peterman have anticipated Zay running the wrong way and throwing it there instead? Would it have mattered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 9 Isles Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Thats not on Zay guys. Lets see any one of you make that catch. Was behind him, he had to twist his body around while his momentum was taking him the other way. Yeah that's Zays fault tyrod missed an open throw. That's exactly my thought too. A marginally better pass and he doesn't need to extend and probably strolls into the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've felt that for years already...  As I know you have... and it wasn't necessarily the best throw... but it was 100% catchable... it's not about blaming anybody either... that's toxic  The Bills must move on and keep playing ball.

reddogblitz Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Zay is never ever going to throw Tyrod under the bus even if it was the QBs fault. I think it's more that any professional NFL WR knows that when the football hits him in the hands, he's supposed to catch it regardless of which shoulder it's over etc. Â What would it say about him if he said the pass was too hard to catch (it wasn't)?

apuszczalowski Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 An elite WR would have made that catch...........is all i'm saying here. Doesn't even have to be an elite WR, an NFL WR should be expected to catch a ball that hits them in their hands, whether it was a bad through or not. It wasn't a great throw, but not every throw will be, and sometimes NFL WRs are expected to make a catch on bad throws to help out their QB. No one (ok maybe a few) is saying that the drop excuses the offenses previous 59+ minutes of play, or that he "cost us the game", or that he should be cut immediately, but it was a play you should expect your WR to make in a game if you want to be a playoff team.
