The media is negative because the teams suck. Not the other way around.

Dude, people are getting WAY more cray-cray than this all over this board. Go look. Someone wants to put Kyle Orton on the wall of fame for example.

So you want to put someone on the wall of fame who played how many games in total for the Bills? And because he *almost" made it to the post season? W O W

And I thought I was jaded

The Browns at least are going for the #1 pick this draft. The Bills will remain in 7-9 to 9-7 hell yet again.

I doubt it would be just first year McCoach coming to that realization on his own and acting on it.

My [unsolicited] advice ... don't quit entirely. Maybe just make it a little less life or death. No sport or team is worth caring that much over. Maybe not getting seasons or betting on them is all you need. If all you are investing is a few hours on Sundays and not significant amounts of money you can get to a happy [or at least not gloomy] place. For me, watching the games is something my family does together at home. Our routine is I record the game and have the commercials stripped out. And we watch while eating dinner together Sundays. Skipping halftime manually makes the whole game done in less than 90 minutes. Then the kids go off and do the homework they have been putting off all weekend 4pm games SUCK for this and I hate them. Usually, like this past Sunday, we watch it live in these fairly rare cases. But it was so long and sooooooo tedious Sunday that if there are any more at that time, we'll probably watch them during Monday dinner. But in any event, don't take it so seriously and don't have a financial stake in it and I suspect you can find a way to enjoy the games.

I have no reason to doubt JW. But to me, if the Bills start Peterman again this week it is simply because they have realized they are not making the playoffs this season and are in full on evaluation mode to see if they can get by with Peterman on the cheap as the bridge QB for the next year or two. Doing this in back to back away games with hungry defensive lines was probably a rookie HC mistake. But it is what it is at this point.

You lost me right here. The Pegulas bought two very broken franchises. Particularly the Bills. Are they great or even good owners. No. But please don't revise history by saying the Bills were a good franchise when the Pegulas bought it.

Coordinator problem or talent problem? ... The answer is yes.

Peterman is a pocket passer on a team that cannot provide a pocket. They haven't all season. I'm not sure what McCoach expects to see when every time Peterman drops back, he runs into a defensive lineman already there. The only reason TT can do anything is because he can scramble and run [for his life most of the time]. Maybe against Indy, at home, the offensive line can manage to create a pocket once in a while. Until that can happen, there is no point playing Peterman IMO. And certainly not against a ticked off Chiefs team, away. They are going to be out for blood after losing to a terrible Giants team.

Too numerous to count.

Obviously they are more than a QB away for being a good team. Anyone watching this season, and the last 3 games in particular, can see that the defense has gone very downhill. The D seems incapable of stopping either the pass or the run. The crazy number of take aways in the early season masked it, and won them a few games. But there are an awful lot of holes on this team. If they use their impressive stockpile of draft picks to move up to get their pick of the QB litter, it still leaves a great deal of positions lacking on both sides of the ball. Before the season began, most understood and believed this was the beginning of a significant rebuild. Then the takeaway fest began, games were won, and the koolaid started flowing. Now those on a koolaid high are crashing back down to earth. But, remember you are back in the same place you were at the start of the season ... in yet another rebuild. Granted the McCoach high has worn off for most as well, but again, he is a first year head coach. He is in a rebuild himself as well.

The purpose of the NFL, and all professional sports, is to make money as a entertainment industry. It has no other intrinsic value. As long as enough of the fans are entertained by a low quality product, it's all good.

May not be logical to you, but look at the facts. No playoffs, or even a whiff of them, this century for the Bills yet the stadium is still packed every week. Many go for the event, to party, be with other fans and so on. They would prefer a quality team, but it is obviously not a requirement.

That's all that he needed to do for a great many Bills and Sabres fans. They don't require a quality product, just the ability to go to games.

Weed is legal in Cali, that's all I can think of for this tweet.

If it was home I'd say Peterman. But away in a loud arrowhead stadium, TT. No need to setup Peterman for yet more failure.

One reason for the crucifixion is the inept way he went about it. 1) The coaching staff, including him, should have known the kid was not ready. 2) Even if they thought maybe he was marginally ready, you don't start a kid on the road like that. It's setting him up for failure.

One bad game?

By your theory, having played terrible 2 weeks ago, TT should have had something to prove last week ... and he crapped the bed again. The bottom line is this team has no QB worthy of being a starter in the NFL. And a defense that doesn't seem to belong in the NFL either.

Hope he plays better next week. But the bigger question is, if Peterman has a bad first half, does McCoach panic and put TT back in. I know McCoach doesn't make halftime adjustments, but might he just this once.

You mean as opposed to being the first year head coach and GM who led the Bills to their first playoff appearance in 17 years? They give that up for a nonsensical needing to keep TT as the starter? Vic 's theory, IMO, is sprinkled with horse ****.

... and rushed for about 20 more yards than McCoy did.

I guess we'll see Sunday how it plays out.
