See, the "loser mentality" is my issue too, but not the woe is me part.

It's the continuous sticking up for mediocre players who become fan favorites because they don't suck too bad, they just look like they just barely belong in the league

Taylor was outplayed by McCown in the first half of yesterday's game. I don't blame people for not being ecstatic with the game

Really, you and I remember the first half very differently, ny had like 82 yards on off. We had around 238.

I'm happy we won, but I'll be honest I still would rather just go Peterman and see what's there.

I think we all know what Tyrod is, and it's not bad, but not great. After the last 17 years we should be trying to go for great

- sbroads24


I liked what I saw from Peterman, but at the end of the day, I'd rather they get a few more pieces to the puzzle in place before they throw him out there. The right side of the O line needs work still. Rather have a slightly more seasoned guy out there until they deal with that. I don't know that Peterman would be able to get out of some of the situations Tyrod has ended up in. I'd also like for there to be better options for him to throw to than we currently have. But that may just be a pipe dream.

That's not me saying Tyrod is a better QB, it's just that he's been in the trenches longer and has a bit more experience in those situations at the NFL level. I neither love or hate him. I think an upgrade is needed, but the situation isn't entirely dire but it does need to be addressed.

My issue was that out of 3 possible scoring chances they came away with only 7 points. One was for sure partly on Tyrod. But the offense moved down the field on 3 separate drives in the 1st half.

Are you forgetting the tipped ball interception in the end zone? Any Willie Beamen scrambling play resulting in a first down must be discarded from his body of work too. Gerbe is right, McCown outplayed Taylor.

I couldn't believe how depressing the post game show with Schopp and BD was yesterday. Apparently Taylor is a fan favorite even though I'm the only Bills fan that I know of that is rooting for him.

Yeah, NY had like 0 rushing yards to our 150.

Again, we had a 7 point half, with 1 catch by a WR.

Really came out and smoked them

No, I don't. Odds are he's worse than Taylor

But if he's great, we hit a home run, if he stinks, we get a higher pick.

Don't understand why that's not obvious

So unless the WR catches the ball it doesn't mean anything? I thought a pass was a pass no matter what "position" the "receiving" player technically played.

What receiver would you like to catch passes? Our receiving group stinks for the most part and the one higher end guy we have missed most of camp and then when he was healthy Taylor wasn't. They had like 1 practice together.

I'd like the guy who we TRADED UP FOR to have more than one catch and 3 targets (one thrown at the ground).
does that really need to be said?

So basically you're saying you want them to throw him to the wolves because you want a higher pick and you want to see them lose.

Got it.....

Everything that I read after the game yesterday said that they limited his reps because they're easing him in.

Don't complain about the QB in that situation. Complain about the coaching staff.

What if he performs "pretty well?" That's a possibility too, and then you can keep on with the same Schleprock routine. Give it up man.

No, I want to go 7-9, draft 14th, and pick the next Leodis McKelvin.

Don't think we've gone that route yet. Let me check over the last 17 years and get back to you

Depends on what "pretty well" is.

Is it Prescott pretty well, or Taylor pretty well

So I got to watch all of the Bills game before the damn hurricane came through. All good on my front just a few trees and fences down.

Tyrod did what everyone wanted him to do last year...go through his reads, use the middle of the field and throw to his TE. Now people are pissed he didn't use his WRs? Heaven forbid he isn't comfortable with a guy he's had one practice with, a guy signed to be the 3 and a rookie WR. It's not like his number one WR was traded halfway through training camp...

The jets D isn't awful, they don't have good LBs and that's who they picked apart. But again because people want to tear apart someone it's Tyrod because he didn't use the WRs much. Not like he's in an offense where they utilize the TE...oh wait he is in that exact offense.

The horror stories on the road scared my wife plus with it moving more west we thought it would be okay. Then of course she came back west. All good on our front. How about you?
