Decision time coming for Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor
But after running back Mike Gillislee‘s score with 9:01 left in the third quarter, the Raiders defense didn’t allow a Buffalo first down until 7:43 in the fourth quarter. Another test looms when they take on the Buffalo Bills on Sunday (1:05 p.m. PT/4:05 p.m. ET, KOIN-6 (CBS), DirecTV).
Trying to get the license plate on the truck that ran them over. They don’t give up, they actually turn into their rampaging real selves. “I think he’s a pretty good player”, said Del Rio. “We don’t panic, we don’t sweat”.
Rivers had the Chargers on the move in the final minutes before Tandy got in front of a pass to Dontrelle Inman and picked it off. Tandy’s momentum carried him into the end zone, giving the Bucs the ball on their 20. Their inability to convert first downs meant that a exhausted defense had to go back on the field against a clicking offense.
The Buffalo Bills (6-6) are reeling are a stunning collapse in the Bay Area against the Oakland Raiders (10-2).
The worst of Tyrod Taylor was on display, and it’s a shame because it’s what followed perhaps the best quarter of football he’s played as the team’s starter.
Ryan reminded the assembled media that the Raiders are a very good team, but they also were as the Bills built that 15-point lead.
At a time when Tyrod Taylor’s long-term future in Buffalo is in question, coach Rex Ryan put his quarterback on notice on Monday by saying he’s not happy with the Bills’ passing attack. But we should’ve known they were just setting the stage for another huge comeback.
“Yeah, by any means”, Crabtree said, echoing Khalil Mack’s slogan for this season. “I’m glad we can help lead this team together”.
“Moving forward, we’ve got four games and we know what has to happen in those four games for us to get where we want to go”.
In assessing what went wrong with Buffalo’s defense during a second-half meltdown in a 38-24 loss at Oakland on Sunday, Ryan wrapped up his answer by placing some of the blame on his offense. Mack’s efforts kept Buffalo scoreless from the middle of the third quarter on.
A reporter asked if going on big offensive runs feels like a run that the Warriors would go on…
“It’s an exciting time in Oakland”, Carr said. “Lucky for me, I only have to do it on one end”. If Oakland is to win the AFC West, it will have to tighten its defensive play given its final three divisional games are all on the road in tough environments.
The second half the offense showed up early and often, however.
“The last time I said we were out … we were in”, he recalled of his previous post-season appearance while with the Jets.
At the driver seat of Oakland’s comeback was quarterback Derek Carr. Wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper each had touchdown receptions, with the former leading the way with 74 yards receiving on seven catches. If Mack can keep his sack streak going and Oakland getting pressure in the backfield, I can see them winning this game by double digits. “We knew we had to step up as a defense”.
Murray’s first score got the Raiders within 24-23 at the end of the third quarter and then he capped the scoring with a 3-yard run that made it a two score game with 8:34 to play.
