Gregg Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 It sure is looking that way. Jones has a sore neck and hasn't practiced the past 2 days. The Giants have one of the worst if not the worst OL's in the league. The Bills lead the league in sacks with 21. Why risk getting him killed in a game where they have a very slim chance to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Bills historically don't defend running QBs well over multiple regimes. I have no actual proof of that, just a gut feeling. The notable exception is Lamar who they seem to defend well. That said I'm not sure who is the bigger run threat Jones or Taylor. Taylor was a run threat probably more because of Greg Roman than anything else. This game should be over mid 3rd quarter. Bills should not need to attempt a pass after the first drive of the second half. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky for us Tyrod is barely a QB. His last start was in 2021 against the Colts while a texan. He went 5-13 for 45 yards with an INT before he was benched in the 3rd quarter 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 The only thing I will say about this game that the Bills need to watch is the Giants defense is healthy. They did force 3 turnovers last week at Miami including a 100-yard pick 6. With that said the Bills should still win big here. The only chance the Giants have is if they force turnovers. I don't see the Giants offense moving the ball too much on the Bills defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 The plan against Tyrod hasn't changed much since 2015. Make him play quarterback. Contain, muddy up the reads, and he will hold the ball. He's elusive when moving up field but he doesn't have the arm to make splash plays while eluding pressure behind the LOS. So you're either sacking him, or pressuring him into trouble. Put it this way - with normal to good offensive lines... he's sacked at an 8-10% clip. With the Giants offensive line you would expect more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills should not need to attempt a pass after the first drive of the second half. Pretty sure at this stage in their careers, Jones is the better runner. When he's on and scrambling a lot, he can be dangerous. Not so much has gone right for them this season though. Tyrod can still take off and get a first down when needed too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Tyrod is our worst case scenario. For all of Danny Dimes youth and talents, he has limited processing power and little elusiveness. Taylor has years of experience, knows when to leave the pocket, and will trigger on the gimme throws that we give up easily like slants. Their OL is terrible, but it would seem the right time to try 17 screen passes if Barkley is active. Not to mention their play action game would be more convincing.

Tyrod Taylor is too much of a scaredy cat to throw a pass where it might get picked. Much safer to eat a sack, throw it away, or pass it behind the line of scrimmage. Especially on 3rd down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Tie-rod is a known quantity. He won't throw into tight windows, so we just have to contain him. Hey there T'rod Taylor....

Shemp Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 If Taylor starts, my question is who's the third stringer, because with their OL, our DL and Taylor's tendency to get hurt, it's probably not going to take long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 There is a certain level cringe worthy fan reaction to how ex players are received when visiting with a new team. Every player need not be booed as some collective knee jerk reaction to them having left, whatever the circumstances were. In Tyrod's case, he was traded for a Brown's 3rd round pick. He gave it his all and represented the team well while here. I think his two best games as a Bill were ones in 2016 which were given away by Rex Ryan's lack of attention to detail. Seahawks and home Dolphins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
