JM2009 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 It's funny because many here claimed this current group of receivers is at least as good, if not better than last year's group...which is it? Who ever said that? How could that be when Watkins is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I wish I was on this board when he was throwing all those bombs to Watkins. Would have been laughable to see your response to that. And you never answered-who replaced Watkins? What? he touches the ball the most and doesn't turn the ball over. Hold him to the highest of standards in that catagory, because that is one he aces. You have no logic. Who replaced Watkins in 2016. I am talking this WR core conpared to the 2016 core. But hey you want to throw an injured Watkins in there than yes Matthews is > Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2009 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Another Tyrod thread. Guess the other ones are not good enough to put your post in on of them. "other ones". did you take the time to post in those too, the same comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Taylor is already 7th in Bills' QB passing yds...after 2 years/2games 7th???? Hmmmm I'm too fat and lazy to look it up but; Kelly, Kemp, Fergy are probably the top three ... maybe Fitz & Bledsoe are in there ... but who could be the other???

MAJBobby Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yep. Running and his deep ball are his strengths. Work with a players strengths till better is found. I've said that all along. That isn't happening this year. And the talent on this offense is the worst it has been in years. The deep balls are there. He wont pull the trigger so is that on him or the WR? Who ever said that? How could that be when Watkins is gone. Watkins was gone last year too wasnt he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba fan Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 This is why I am in the camp of "Sammy wouldn't make a difference." If the QB won't throw to somebody who isn't open by a mile, then having Sammy won't help. TT threw majority of balls to Watkins when he was covered and did not look open.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm waiting for the inevitable. Tyrod plays himself out of the starting roll after being set up to fail so McD and BB can draft their guy. they did in a way. cut his pay and traded off his best wide receivers. you may not believe it was to set him up to fail but it didn't help his cause any. they knew going in to this season it was taylors last year. if fans think the roster was different this season wait until next season when they wipe the slate clean of any whaley remnants. dareus will be gone, taylor and mccoy and kyle will retire. they may keep a fa agent or two like ingognito and hughes? I just hope with the new QB they bring in a better OC, dennison doesn't impress me all that much although some may feel he can only do so much with what he has in a QB? taylor has likely seen his last opportunity to start in this league and will have to settle for a back up position elsewhere in 2018?

It's not better than 2016 either. at least Goodwin was a burner when Watkins was out. He caught a couple of deep balls too. Taylor is not afraid of the deep ball. Tyrod will likely be the Bills' starter in 2018 I doubt it. The starter isn't on this roster. hell yes well, as long as your fair about it.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) ....here's an interesting tidbit that I will pass on to all and unfortunately, we'll never know.......when the Cassel trade came down, Roman went ballistic at OBD (NEVER published).......this set him up with TT as being his QB.......we'll never know how much emphasis he put on developing the kid if possible, or if he was reluctant with Cassel being gone.....cannot really garner anything from his game plans, but you wonder how much he was enamored....keep in mind that there were many kudos about Wrecks being the key guy to land TT.......then abruptly, Roman is canned by Wrecks after two games.....scapegoat?......Wrecks vs Roman feud about TT being THE guy?......we'll NEVER know but it is an interesting sequence of events as I know them.....
