Big Turk Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Look...we won and that is great...but we made it way harder than it needed to be. Taylor had a chance to pretty much bury the Chiefs on a simple play and he didn't take it. O'Leary wide open in the middle of the field with literally nobody within 20 yards of him...not exaggerating. Taylor has an absolutely clean pocket, nobody near him, nobody in his face...all Taylor has to do is make an easy throw, give O'Leary the chance to run after the catch and instead he throws the ball at his feet where he has to dive and make a catch, nullifying his ability to gain more yards. Instead of a first down + inside the 20, we have a 3rd and 2 at the 42 oe 43 yard line...3rd down and we lose yards, then punt. So instead of running a bunch of more time off the clock, kicking an easy FG or even possibly getting a TD, to go up 2 scores we punt it back to them up 6. I know I know...you are like "Whats the big deal? Taylor completed the pass, set up a short 3rd down and we won!" Yes, we did, but there are times every game when you have the chance to put a team away and Taylor consistently doesn't take advantage of it. Yes, other QB's put the ball there at times, but not on that route and not with nobody in their face. You just have to make a better throw...its what seperates consistently good QBs from QBs like Taylor... when you have a chance to get a first down and another 20+ yards ESPECIALLY at the point of the game it happened, you don't want to be settling for a 3rd and short. Details like this is what win and lose you games many times in the NFL. You don't get very many easy plays like that in the NFL and when you do you HAVE to capitalize on them. Details are not Taylor's strong suit. He does a lot of big things right...he doesn't turn the ball over...he gets out of trouble a lot...he completes passes...but he doesn't do well on ball placement a lot of times...there are too many times receivers have to stop running or are stopped when he throws the ball to them, or dive to the ground to make catches when they shouldn't have. I understand if you are wondering what the big deal is, but people who know football on a more than rudimentary level can appreciate what I am saying....Taylor can't be the franchise QB because he doesn't do the little things right often enough...he misses too many plays that should be easy and our drives stall out many times because of it...wonder why we tend to go 3 and out a lot with him? That's why. Details. Edited November 26, 2017 by matter2003 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I thought the same thing (fewer words) when the play happened. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 This. TT is better than Peterman but this team will not win more than 8 or 9 games playing like this. After this season, it is time to move on rather than prolong this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryMadman Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The Chiefs were so bad on offense they should have been put away by half time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Franchise QB's make teams pay with blown coverage/wide open receivers. Point blank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackington Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The pass wasn't so low that O'Leary had to go to the ground. He thought there was guy going to hit him. Hence when he never rilled or got up after the catch. That is just as much on O'Leary. Also, hey remember the holding call right before that? It was actually a +4 yard gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billznut Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Why even do a thread on this??? Tyrod will NOT be the Bills qb next year. Unless the Bills somehow go 4-2 or 5-1 and make the playoffs. And even then, I’d highly doubt it. The coaching staff has made this abundantly clear already.

Maine-iac Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Look at the teams that lost today. Every QB threw picks. Look at the teams that lost to us. Their QB threw picks. Guess what Tyrod doesn't do? Any questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually a +4 yard gain O'Leary had flashbacks of the Jets game and gave himself up instead of fighting for extra yards. Instead of regurgitating what the announcer said in the game to dog your quarterback how about celebrating the victory? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
