paulbills Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We won't be better than 9-7 under Tyrod, We will exit in the first round if we squeak by into the playoffs, build for the future, it's obvious this guy doesn't have what it takes to take this team to a Superbowl. Whether he's just eeking out victories with the help of his defense, having his 1-4 dominant games a year, or either totally flopping as a quarterback and losing us games. It alarms me when I think where we'd be if we didn't have such a superior running game, winless possibly? definitely at the bottom, and I can't remember the last time a rush heavy team won the SB in recent years, any team can rush for 100 yds if they run it 50 times. Indy was dead last in the NFL in rush efficiency in 2006 when they beat Chicago in the Super Bowl. I'm no Tyrod hater, he's super fun to watch and has his clutch moments, although I have to be realistic in that I'm not confident that this is the QB that can take us to the Superbowl, we aren't the seahawks, he isn't russel wilson. This will be his 3rd year here and if he produces another mediocre year I don't see the justification in banging our head against the wall thinking he is our savior.

Stank_Nasty Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 his escape ability is pretty special. I know at least a couple times he managed to avoid the sack and make a play. I think one of best examples of that was the play that he actually only threw it away. rusher had him dead nuts and tyrod froze the guy and then at least get rid of it to avoid 2nd and FOREVER. if i'm not mistaken we got points on that drive. We won't be better than 9-7 under Tyrod, We will exit in the first round if we squeak by into the playoffs, build for the future, it's obvious this guy doesn't have what it takes to take this team to a Superbowl.

First, can you please PM me the December powerball numbers? It'd be much appreciated. The truth is that the Bills have a winning record when he plays QB, and that includes a majority of games with a sub-par defense. Now he's backed up by a quality D and we're 4-2. It's cool if you're skeptical, but it's a good sign so far. Second, since when is a team that's 24th in YPC and 14th in YPG a 'superior running game'?

xRUSHx Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Every single player that talks about Tyrod heaps praise on him. As long as the guys on the team believe in him he can be successful. I love cheering for this guy! The whole post was great but specifically this part. I looked through 300 yard games and found only 2 of the 49 came on less than 30 attempts and each of those were 29 attempts. Further down the rabbit hole 23 of the 49 were without ints. I don't know that I would trade Jameis' 70 extra yards of offense for 2 turnovers. Jameis is a much better passer than Tyrod I don't think that is arguable but there is more to being a quarterback than just passing. Taking care of the ball is an incredibly important aspect. I give you a lot of credit for this post. I know it doesn't mean anything to do so but I just wanted to point it out. As one of Tyrod's biggest critics it is nice to see you show up and be supportive after a well played game. Not all of the anti-TT guys do that. Cheers! Thank you....i think,Im a die hard Bills fan man I just want my team to win, a team and QB to be proud of. If Tyrod can keep this up he will have my full support. BTW, I don't want to see posters trying to prop him up, if Tyrod does well he won't need posters to compare him to the greats of the game and bring up his 180 yard games as something great just because we won by a field goal. I expect this game to be a stepping stone for better things from him otherwise my opinion of him won't change that he should be replaced with someone better. 300 yard games from good QBs happen, so far his 300s are next to none in 4 Quarters. I'm watching and giving support but I only have one leg on this Tyrod wagon, I want a 300 machine gun at QB for the future not a timid QB playing like a backup pushing 180 yard day as great, our D is fabulous.

This will be his 3rd year here and if he produces another mediocre year I don't see the justification in banging our head against the wall thinking he is our savior. The Seahawks were a run heavy and should have been back to back champs if they were smart enough to run the ball. The Broncos when they won were a run heavy team. So you know the last 2 teams that weren't led by possibly the greatest qb of all time won with run heavy/strong defensive teams. We would be winless without this dominant running game? Well the run game hasn't been dominant this year. Here are the Bills rushing totals excluding Tyrod's contributions: 152, 14, 104, 63, 79, and 120. That average of 88.67 would place the Bills at 26th best run game. 4 of 6 games the Bills have run for less than 3.5 ypc. The other 2 are games where Tyrod himself averaged 4.8 and 8.8. Speaking of the Seahawks and Russel Wilson do you know that during their super bowl run he was throwing for 103, 215, and 206 yards respectively? During their 2 years of back to back super bowls Russel Wilson threw for 300 yards 4 times total and zero times in the playoffs. We have no idea what this team is capable of. Thank you....i think, Im a die hard Bills fan man I just want my team to win, a team and QB to be proud of. If Tyrod can keep this up he will have my full support. definitely meant it as a compliment. I don't expect people's opinion to change overnight but it is refreshing to see someone open to the idea of changing their mind. That certainly isn't the norm around here.

How much of Winston's 70 extra yards do you think he'd keep throwing to Jones, Holmes, Thompson & O'Leary - as opposed to Evans, Jackson, Howard, and Brate? How many "extra yards" do you think Taylor would reap if the receiving corps were reversed? I suspect those 70 yards would quickly disappear in the first case with Winston still getting those two turnovers (if not more). This, despite how much of a "better passer" Jameis is. And Taylor? Do you doubt he'd have a field day throwing to Jackson and Evans? It would be like the prime of Sammie squared........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you doubt he'd have a field day throwing to Jackson and Evans? It would be like the prime of Sammie squared........ Agreed! IMHO, Bucs are a better team with Tyrod over Jameis right now. Jameis has a LOT of time to change that ahead of hm, so who knows where his career goes moving forward, but the biggest killer to the Bucs offense has been very bad decisions by Winston and his tendency to the turn the ball over. I think there is no doubt his stats would dip significantly if he was the Bills starter throwing to these WR's, and is turnovers likely would RISE too. While I also think there is no doubt that Tyrod would see an increase in his passing stats while keeping his turnovers low throwing to that elite group of weapons, and Tyrod is a much better runner too. I will take 320 combined yards with no turnovers over Winston and his 70 more passing yards and 2 turnovers 100% of the time. There is not a stat more OVER EXAGGERATED than passing yards, its probably the single least important stat in all of professional football. But decades of fantasy football, John Madden football games, and a few all time greats like Rogers, Brady, and Brees has skewed perception. There is SOOOO MUCH more to playing QB than passing yards, and not turning the ball over is 100 times more important than a 300 yard passing game. Case in point...people can go check Winstons record throwing for over 300 yards and ask yourself if it helped them win. They can also ask Drew Bree's if being the most prolific passer in the NFL for the last 5 years helped him make the playoffs while everyone is at it. Spoiler Alert: It didn't.

Well you could just read all the other responses posting out all your inaccuracies. But if you want the crib notes, here you go. 1. We don't have a dominant run game this year (as pointed out by others). In fact, its the worst average of McCoys career and its been struggling most the year, hell McCoy didn't even get his first TD until this week. 2. You can't remember when the last time a run dominant team won the SB? Guess you have short term memory loss and struggle to remember the 2016 SB, 2015 SB, 2014, and 2013 Super Bowls, all of which featured a run dominant team which 2 of them were won by a run dominant team. 2016 - Broncos - Worst rated QB in the NFL that year, and Manning had the single worst QB performance in SB history in his win on a team built on running and defense. 2015 - Pats beat the run first Seahawks to keep them from repeating. Ironically, the Seahawks lost on the goal line because they chose to pass rather than be the run dominant team they were and punch it in with Beast Mode. 2014 - Seahawks, a run dominant team won the SB beating the heavily favored high powered passing attack of Manning and the Broncos. 2013 - Ravens eek out a narrow win against SF who had a team very much built just like us, except they actually had talent to throw to. They had a running QB and an offense built on the run game between him and the running backs with a stout defense. So I am struggling to find any of your post as factual.

He's exciting and makes a handful of wow plays each game. I also think he is still a work in progress and we are seeing him get better each year. this year he has answered the criticism of not being able to throw in the middle, not carrying a team when the run game is off, not using his tes, not going through progressions, etc... He's not perfect but I watch a ton of other teams and he is much better (imo) than a lot of qbs out there. He was around the 20th best qb to me coming into this year and I think he has moved up. To your point I wish he was surrounded by some of the talent these other guys are. Wentz and Goff are perfect examples. The eagles went out and got Alston and Blount, the rams went out and got woods, watkins, cupp, and a new proven lt. I would love to see more skill players brought in for TT. 1.)
