So Tyrod Taylor is a gamer, eh?

[ghz in pittsburgh]

No incredible stats, and I believe the coaches will continue to rein him in through game plan and calls, but it just re-enforces my belief that the guy has "it". I completely agree with Rex's explanation that Tyrod has the presence of the pocket, like the opposition QB who despite numerous blitzes, hardly sacked today.

I want to point out two plays from Tyrod. 1st is the fumbled snap. Most QB would dive on it. Tyrod, being so aware of the pocket, calmly picked it up and started running to make something out of a disaster. 2nd is the tipped ball that he batted down. Just shows you a QB with the "it" factor always knows the best thing to do at any moment. By the way, I don't know what Karlos is thinking on that play, he's not ready to carry the 3rd down duty. Without Jackson, I think they should use Felton/McCoy in those situations.

I do want to give a shout out to Karlos though. He's best running back on the field today in my opinion.

Tyrod was boom shaka laka today in the first three quarters and then Roman pulled the reigns on him and he looked like poop. He looked nervous trying not to make mistakes. Somebody definitely said, whatever you do, don't fumble or throw and interception. Looked like he was thinking too much instead of just playing the game in the 4th quarter.

Played a solid yet unspectacular game today (except for the pretty bomb to Harvin, and big scramble in the third quarter) and protected the ball. I'll take that every week.

Re: So Tyrod Taylor is a gamer, eh?

I have to admit I was no fan of him, and he impressed me today. Looked smart, poised, confident, and aware. Heh, I loved it. Last year, even Orton looked like he was running on instinct. Been a while since I've seen a Bills QB actually appear to have a thoughtful command of the offense with the skills to back it up. He's going to have his rough moments ahead, but I'm liking this guy more and more.

Horse****. He played great in the first three quarters. Admit it.

The D was better than I expected. I can't wait for Marcel to return.

Brady's first start, He completed 13 of 23 passes for 168 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions.

Re: So Tyrod Taylor is a gamer, eh?

I think the Roman's game plan was run. But the Colts did a better job than I expected especially back side pursuit, though I'd attribute a lot on McCoy's penchant for dancing instead of hitting what you see like Karlos. Once they found out the Colts were keying on the run, they opened up and airing out in the 2nd quarter. Once they have the big lead and it took Colts 9 minutes to get their 1st TD, I think Rex wanted to go conservative and rely on the defense.

I don't know we can do that against Brady next week just sitting on lead.

Tyrod slapping that deflected ball was a bigger play than people realize.

I'm really impressed with this kid.

Re: So Tyrod Taylor is a gamer, eh?

He had a lot of good plays. One of my favorites that may be overlooked was this one:

(1:33) (Shotgun) 5-T.Taylor pass short left to 10-R.Woods to IND 48 for 15 yards (33-D.Lowery). Caught at BUF 45, slanting to middle.

Perfectly thrown, easily converted the third down.

I like his outfit he was wearing after the game for his interview.. Good stuff!

I'm not taking anything away from him, I give him a ton of credit. I like the workman-like performance with a couple of big plays sprinkled in and no turnovers...that's how QB's get the rep as winners.

Re: So Tyrod Taylor is a gamer, eh?

His play was excellent. Not sure what some of you want? He was handcuffed by a few holding calls and unnecessary roughness calls, had only 5 incompletes, had no turnovers and almost doubled Luck's qb rating. He also had little running game to work with and ran for 40+ yards. If he plays to this elite level every week, we won't be beat. Today's game wasn't even close.

Re: So Tyrod Taylor is a gamer, eh?

the game plan is simple, conservative o, take a few shots deep with watkins and harvin.... and rely on the great d...

if tyrod plays like he did today like the previous poster said, we wont lose a game. we had a ton of penalties. should have been 41-7
