I see many hissy fits in #15's future.
-
I disagree, if Marcchesault turned and looked to the middle of the ice ( which was the direction he was mving) he would've seen Wilson out of the corner of his eye for the last fraction of a second before the hit... which is enough time to take a defensive posture.
Why would/should Marchessault look back to the center of the ice ? Marchessault's following the play which was on the boards, he shouldn't have to take his eyes off the puck to see where he's skating.

Huh.... my charts aren't close to that. I got Eichel and Kane for 20% as a trio, 33% either Eichel or Kane, O'Reilly and Pouliot maybe 12% together, 33% either O'Reilly and Pouliot.
Looking at it more closely, you data is bad. There is no way that Reinhart has been on only 6 line combinations, but those 6, according to frozenpool, account for 100% of Reinharts 5-5 play.
Just going by what the site is reporting. I tried to look for another source this morning, but had no luck.

I don't know if your logic works here. His skating can definitely get worse as well as improve; it doesn't just stay at whichever base level you get it to
I think he's pretty much playing the same, in a different system, with worse linemates, and some worse luck.
Reinhart when paired with good players => Good
When not => Bad
Water is wet
Reinhart has been paired with Eichel and Kane for 41.9% of his 5 on 5. He has spent 22.2% with O'Reilly and Pouliot. That's the top 3 point getters that Reinhart has been paired with the majority of his 5 on 5 TOI. There should be a little more "good".

I know that you should never put stock in how easy/hard a schedule looks before the season starts, but this one looks "easier" than they usually do to me. Again, that means nothing and probably wasn't worth saying.
Bizarre that we don't play the Dolphins or Pats until 4 of our last 5 games are against them.
I don't see this schedule as being easy in any way. The defense is really gonna have to come thru to have any success this season.
The QB's the Bills will be facing are a pretty good bunch. T. Brady (2x), M. Ryan, D. Carr, C. Newton, D. Brees, P. Rivers and A. Luck. Even R. Tannehill (2x), A. Dalton, A. Smith and J. Winston can not be taken lightly. That leaves the 2 games vs the Jets and the game against the Broncos where the Bills won't be facing an established starting QB.

Was the best I've seen Tyler Ennis play in nearly two years.
Kulikov and Bogosian were making positive plays.
When those three play to their contracts you can see how this could have been a playoff team.
Too bad it's the first time we've seen it in the same game all year.
I'd like to see Ennis stick around and it was good to see him play better, confidence plays a big part in that I believe. Although I think his biggest problem with playing up to par is he is lacking the speed that was the biggest part of his game. I'd have to guess that injuries are the cause, especially the groin injury. I hope that the concussions haven't put fear into his game, at times he seems a little hesitant and any hesitation can be the difference of making a play or looking like a scrub.

Good job Bylsma, bench the star.... F'in moron
Maybe Eichel's not turning the puck over enough, Bylsma said he wants him turning it over at least 5 times a game. The Sharks 2nd goal should count for at least 2-3 turnovers.
-
Schedule, new coach, just lose our top corner and #2 wideout on shallow team as it is. Means we'll be drafting those two spots 1-2, again. We're going to be ###### awful
Good thing they have a nice easy schedule. :doh:

McDermott on Tyrod on the @JohnMurphyShow: "High character, great work ethic, toughness, skill set...best move for the Bills at this time."
The "at this time" worries me a bit ...
I need to see the numbers, but I don't understand why Tyrod would agree to the deal with him being the #1 QB on the open market.
I say the interest wasn't there. Even though it's illegal" I have to think that his agent had feelers out there and Buffalo had the best offer. To me it still says the Bills don't fully believe in Taylor, otherwise they would of paid him what would of been a fair deal for a QB that you believe is the answer.
-
How can the refs see this and not call it interference? I just don't understand.
Watching Robin Lehner's reaction after the goal tells me that his arm was never touched. After the goal Lehner stays on his knees for a couple of seconds then gets up looks to the sky, then turns back towards the net. If Lehner's arm was in fact hit he would of been charging after the referee instantly after the goal was scored. Even after 10-15 seconds pass, Lehner's leaning on the net and the ref skates right past him and Lehner says/does nothing. I don't think that Robin Lehner suddenly got shy and didn't want to cause a commotion arguing interference.
-
You just can't look at stats or the number of championships, you have to look at the whole picture. Even statistically, the numbers he put up this year (his 17th) are crazy. As hard as it is to admit as a Bills fan, I'd say Brady is the best QB to ever play the game. Given the choice of any QB in their prime for one season, I think I'd have to choose Brady.
-
But, but, we were told that Taylor's fate had already been decided.
Surely the bozos at the Snooze couldn't have been making stuff up? Right?
I think that Taylor's current contract is the deciding factor of the higher ups at OBD. Will he renegotiate or take his shot on the open market ? IMO under his current contract, he won't be retained by the Bills. Unless Rick Dennison is going to foot the bill.
-
Aaron Rodgers is by far my favorite player to watch. Just incredible. Best QB in the league.
Some of the throws he makes are amazing. You're never out of the game with Rodgers back there.
-
Who is off to watch the game?
MLK day, there are a lot of people off today, but still that is pretty odd scheduling.
-
He can't, but he can throw deep, so safeties and corner s have to respect it and can't just crowd in, thereby eliminating the screen
I think what's eliminating screens and quick hitting passes is Taylor's inability to get the ball out there. There has to be some reason why 2 different OC's in 2 years avoid throwing screen passes or quick slants. I have no doubt that the linemen can get out on a screen and any receiver can take 1 step and turn or run a slant.
-
So why is he better than Tyrod? They both need a strong running game to succeed. They're in the same class of QB, even if they're there for different reasons.
I'm becoming more convinced that many Bills fans want a QB who throws more aggressively, even if he's not actually an upgrade.
The Broncos are 8-6 and had no running game all season, their wins have not come from running the ball, where as the Bills wins have come on the shoulders of McCoy. McCoy has had at least 100 yds. or a rushing TD in every win except the Pats win. The Broncos have had 1 RB have a 100yd. game (107). That shows that Siemian does not need a strong running game to succeed.
-
Anyone still pining for Trevor Siemian?
I would take him on the Bills in a heartbeat, the Broncos are putting the offense on his shoulders, since they have no run game. The Broncos are in a slump, but you have to look at the competition in that span. Raiders, Saints, Chiefs, Titans and Patriots. That's a combined record of 47-23 with the only sub .500 team being the Saints, who the Broncos beat. Siemian has helped the Broncos defeat 3 teams that at or above .500, something that the Bills current QB has not been able to do. Unless you want to count a victory over the Pats playing their 3rd string QB with an injured thumb.
Siemian is a kid that can succeed in the passing game if needed to throw 30+ times a game, not a QB that if the run game is stifled the chances of winning are slim to none.

Well, I'd rank him probably in an 18-23 range of NFL qbs this year. I just think he's maxed out and that we need to find better.
And that ranking takes into account the running. If analyzing solely throwing and pass plays, he plummets to bottom 6-7.
I don't think that's unfair. I'd imagine that even adding his rushing totals to his passing totals would still keep him in the dregs of qb yardage. And a lot of games, he has an easier time getting a 9-12 yard run off than a 9-12 yard pass.
If you took Taylor's rushing yards and turned them into passing yards he would be 21st in yardage (just passing) for QB's. His rushes while exciting to watch really haven't been as valuable as some think, His DVOA and VOA rank him 19th and 20th in QB's rushing stats.

I'm,for some reason, having hard time staying that interested in this team.
I feel the same, I've been a Bills fan for over 45 years and lately I really don't care what they do. Most of it has to do with the hiring of Ryan, I never liked the guy (detest him) and couldn't get myself to like him just because he became the Bills coach. Then this offseason when he brought his brother on board, it made it worse for me. I haven't gotten to the point where I want them to lose in hopes they fire Ryan, but honestly I don't think I'm very far away from that.
Also IMO the game and players have changed so much from when I fell in love with the game, that my interest in football has decreased. A tough man's game seems to be giving way to a bunch of prima donnas that if not celebrating after every routine play are crying about some injustice done to them by the officials, ("he touched my helmet").

Tyrod has been dealing with a groin injury per this report
Taylor has denied it.
http://buffalonews.com/2016/11/16/tyrod-taylor-shoots-report-groin-injury/
I begrudge Rex a lot of things, but not this. Midseason FA personnel moves are going to be based largely on whether a guy can be plug and play. With a system as complicated as Rex's, he needed one of "his guys."
I know, it's not a bad move. I just try and take a shot at Rex at any opportunity. I couldn't stand him when he coached the Jets and I've never able to embrace the idea of him coaching the Bills. It's hard for me to find or at least admit to liking something Rex does, because of the dislike that I've had for him for years.

The #Bills are signing free agent safety James Ihedigbo today, source said.
Per Rapaport
A former N.Y. Jets player, imagine that.
-
Not having a single goal from the backliners certainly doesn't help.
Even though he hasn't really contributed yet, having Ennis out for weeks now isn't going to help either.
-
Marcell Dareus hasn't practice all week because a groin injury, Monday night status TBD. :thumbdown:
-
Yeah, Gillislee is expected to be good to go, just like McCoy was last week.
First report I read said he was held out of practice Thursday, the one I just read said he's been limited the last 3 days with turf toe. Gillislee is more of a north, south runner so maybe turf toe wouldn't hamper him as much as someone like McCoy who does a lot of cutting. I just hope that if he doesn't look like he's near 100% playing, give someone else the ball.

Not if you're trying to lose for Hughes.
My Grandchildren are going to love watching the Sabres win....well maybe my Great Grandchildren.
