The one thing I noticed the 2nd half is Rams doing more all out blitz, not zone blitz where Taylor could use his legs. You see some the last two plays in the article. For one, McCoy is not nearly the blocker like Thurman was (I wonder should the Bills have McCoy slip out wide as an outlet instead of asking him to block in these plays) so they can get to Taylor pretty quick consistently. For two, Taylor cannot use his legs to doge guys in this tight space. For three, in the face of pressure and people in front of him, Taylor's height and throwing mechanics are exposed.
I do give him the credit for identifying the right place to go with the football, which shows up in his stats of the low INTs. Like the authors says, he needs to improve on those throws when facing 3rd & 5 more --- that's when teams likely to do these all out blitz -- in order for the Bills offense to stay on the field longer.
