lack of receiver depth is what will drat this team

The defense being this good is both a blessing and a curse because most games will be at the very least close. If this team goes 6-10 with 10 close losses my liver might have some serious issues in the near future.

That was pretty much pinnacle Buffalo Bills today. They're in first place in the division after experiencing higher than average success in the early part of the year, casual fans and media are both starting to pay attention and expectations are starting to arise. They're playing a winnable game and if they were to win said game they would vault themselves into serious contender talk. So they lost. But on the plus side after they lose next week too they'll be right on pace for 8-8.

The offense is uh... hosed. This is what happens when you hire the Denver Broncos OC.

I dislike him quite a bit, but it's hard to work magic out of Zay Jones, Ben Tate, and Nick O'Leary

At least they got rid of all those stupid end arounds that they ran the last two years. Nothing kills a drive quicker than a guaranteed 5 yard loss.

If Anquan Boldin hadn't retired I think the team would have been fine Charles Clay died (admirably) trying to run deep routes, but he's not Gronk

Yeah, unless O'Leary suddenly becomes more than generic white #2 TE or Charles Clay's injury isn't serious, the passing game seems completely hosed. To be fair, it was bad to begin with. Also, I have to agree that you can't blame Dennison. He basically has a bunch of electric football mans for wide receivers.

Yeah now they run the fullback to the outside to see if he can use his extreme agility to get the edge... I hope the coaches gain some inspiration during the bye because bad receivers or not, it sure seems like if the Bills can't run, they aren't scoring. The offense is loving up extremely bad and I wouldn't even know where to start in terms of fixing it.

We haven't had the annual Tyrod missed game yet so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. The team has been relatively healthy this year and it's made a huge difference. At some point that luck might run out.

MalarkeyToboggan posted:We haven't had the annual Tyrod missed game yet so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. RB - Tolbert is okay in relief but if we lose McCoy I don't feel great about this positional group. We've known since the beginning of the season that we need McCoy to be healthy this year, and this hasn't changed. OL - Glenn being back has made a difference these past two games, and now that Ducasse seems to have won the starting job the right side is improving, that said I think if we lose Incognito or Glenn we lose a huge part of our run game. QB - Taylor isn't necessarily a franchise QB, and Peterman might be good down the line, but obviously I think there's a drop off there if only because of inexperience. WR - Our WR group isn't great, it's not even good, but I think the way we game plan we minimize their importance anyway so going from WR3 down to WR4 or WR1 to 2 because of injury isn't a huge issue. LB - Milano has been great for our linebackers and when Humber gets healthy we have a solid group there I think. Losing brown would be a big blow though. Looking at our schedule I can see us getting to 10 wins with solid game-planning and some lucky breaks: Dolphins are just bad this year offensively and I think we match up well there, 2 wins. Colts are the 2017 colts, 3 wins. Jets have outperformed expectations but I still think we have their number this thursday, 4 wins. Then we need to win one of: Chargers, Saints, Chiefs, Patriots x2 to get to 5 and a 10-6 record. Very possible.

As far as players we couldn't afford to lose, Shady and Tyrod are 1A and 1B. Mike Tolbert is a fat guy whose kind of good in short-yardage situations and doubles as a fullback, and Taiwan Jones is...whatever he is. Not a running back. We'd be hosed. Tyrod's been playing great. He shows great patience in the pocket, makes all the throws, protects the football, and can make things happen with his legs when the receivers fail to get open(which is often). I found the idea that Nathan Peterman could perform at his level dubious in the preseason. It's sheer insanity now. Shady and Tyrod are basically our offensive production. Every receiver except probably Matthews is utterly replaceable. Dawkins did well for Glenn, but Glenn is clearly superior, so if he gets hurt again, that won't be great, but survivable. Our interior depth seems a bit more suspect though. Defensively, Tre White and Micah Hyde. Our depth in the secondary is shaky and both of them are actually good at their jobs. Hyde in particular has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Oh, and given what other teams are experiencing, losing Hauschka would blow. It's ridiculous how well he's been hitting FGs, especially from 50+ yards. Whatever cast-off we could scrounge up would likely be much less reliable, and this team isn't built for blowing out opponents.

They should just play him at TE until Clay comes back. He's got the size.

Tyrod was a weird kid. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21251222/the-great-debate-buffalo-bills-quarterback-tyrod-taylorquote:Taylor was single-minded as a kid. Whenever he finished his homework, he'd go into the garage -- the dungeon, his family called it -- to study VHS tapes of old NFL games, watching the film until he fell asleep. "A lot of the kids on my street said I was too busy to come out and play," he says.

Bills fans posted:A middle-aged woman in a Bills sweatshirt starts to explain why she's optimistic about the team (then 3-2), with its unexpectedly strong defense, but she's interrupted by her friend. "Tyrod blows," he says. "He can't throw the ball far enough." He adds that Taylor is no better than draft bust EJ Manuel. "They're the same quarterback." Bills fans are the worst.

Two years ago it was that Taylor couldn't stay healthy. Last year it was that he couldn't throw over the middle. Not sure what next offseason's rationale will be. He can't throw into tight windows?
