All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
The Biggest Difference Maker On Sunday Was Tyrod Taylor
Re: The Biggest Difference Maker On Sunday Was Tyrod Taylor
Gilmore and Darby were the players of the game. Held Hilton and Johnson in check, despite having Graham and Rambo knocked out within minutes of the game starting.
"Miami played pretty damn good today and still got their ass kicked."
Darby played an exceptional game especially with how bad he looked in preseason.
And Andrew Luck looked like crap overall which is exactly how the Colts are, if he's good they win, if he's bad they lose.
Luck and the Colts are only consistently good against their own division though.
Thing I liked most about Taylor is how consistent and poised he was. He wasn't out of his element and iffy play to play like I've gotten used to with Bills QB's. The guy looks like he's been starting a while and used to it. Has some cool to him, no erratic. Real good sign imho.

And the Seahawks are only consistently good at home. That stuff doesn't really matter in the big picture of things.
If Luck plays well the Colts tend to win, if he doesn't play well they lose. So the way you beat them is to make Luck look bad. Which the Bills did a good job of doing today.

^ this. He didn't look out of his element, made good choices, and would have had Sammy for a TD if he had take a little zip off that ball, which imo can be at least partly attributed to lack of time playing together (which bodes well as he gets more reps with him)
Re: The Biggest Difference Maker On Sunday Was Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod has put down a good foundation. Now he needs to start nailing it down for good. I think there's a better than 50% chance he can do that and as he gains more experience using his weapons in real time the potential is there for a very productive and diversified offence. It should be able to grind out the first downs but with big that play potential at any time that opposing Ds have to account for or get badly burned. I expect the Bills O to connect on a couple of big plays on every outing. They should be very hard to defend.

Just something to note, last year Indy scored 14 points or less in one game - against Dallas. They scored < 20 points only twice, with 17 points against Houston (won 17-10). Both of those games happened within the last 3 games of 2014, so may have been affected by injuries or other things.
Basically, a lot of credit to the defense for shutting down Indy the way they did.

Bodes well for our next game. Cover Gronk and see what else they can do.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
the difference maker was the Defense. There's no way they win if the D doesn't play lights out for most of the game.
And we didn't even play with Dareus.
