Bills’ McDermott: ‘I don’t regret’ benching Tyrod Taylor for Nathan Peterman

‘It’d be unfair to write off Peterman’s chances to develop into a starting-caliber quarterback after one awful half against a talented Chargers defense, but I think it’s safe to say the move to bench Taylor for Peterman is not helping the Bills’ chances of winning now. In all, Peterman went 6 of 14 for 66 yards (4.7 yards per pass), no touchdowns, five interceptions, and a 17.9 passer rating. By the time Taylor entered the game, the Bills faced an insurmountable deficit.’

‘Now at 5-5 and in the midst of a three-game losing streak, the Bills will face the Chiefs on the road next week in a game that will have major playoff implications. The Bills are currently in the seventh seed, tied with the Ravens for the final playoff spot. The Chiefs still lead the AFC West, but now have just a two game lead on the Chargers and Raiders, and have lost four of their last five games.’

The Bills move to Peterman was a disaster

‘I want to say right up front here that I’m not going to judge Nathan Peterman on one game. It didn’t go well, and some of it wasn’t his fault. The position of quarterback is only one of the problems that face McDermott and his staff. I still don’t believe the future quarterback of the Buffalo Bills is even on the roster yet. In the mean time, the team has a lot of work to do.’

Its hard to trust the process right now

‘The bigger issue with McDermott is whether or not he just lost the locker room. That may sound a bit extreme considering the Bills are still tied for 6th place in the AFC but you know there are players, especially those that believe in Taylor that are wondering what the heck McDermott was thinking? It might be tough to preach “trust the process” this week around One Bills Drive.’

Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills – Los Angeles Chargers (11/19/17)

‘Once again, the opposing team was doing it the same way — right up the middle of the field and forcing missed tackles at the second level. It didn’t matter if it was Melvin Gordon or Austin Ekeler, opportunity upon opportunity was missed by the run defense — and specifically by the defensive tackles and linebackers.’
