Are the Bills allowed to pass on first down?

2nd and 12 play action. Brilliant call. Bears bit hard on that one..

It’s going to be ugly IMO

All part of the process!...

Good post. Also for the people who say it is all about talent and nothing to do with scheming? They should have watched the SF game last night. Shanahan kept Oakland on its toes all evening with a 3RD string QB! I don't think anyone is saying Daboll's offence should score 24 plus points a game with this team, but for gods sake.. To average 10 points per game in 2018 and to not score a TD in over 2 games is absolutely ridiculous.

All garbage time stats plus a blizzard. Hard to take much away from those games

Please read what I wrote one more time. I said he should have been cut after week 1. They should have signed a veteran to backup Allen. Like an Anderson, or Matt Moore, or Barkley, or trade a mid to late round pick for a veteran QB . Literally anything. It is inexcusable to have Peterman on this roster. They have to go with him now cause they have no choice. And that just shows how much Mcd and Beane butchered this situation

He should have been cut after the ravens game. He shouldn’t have even been a choice to play for this team again

This^. Most teams when they hire New management want to see progress every year. Not complete regression. I don’t think anyone expected the Bills to make the plyoffs this year as last year was a bit of a fluke, but no one expected them to look this bad.

He has to pick Peterman now but he should have been cut after week 1

Well they are tanking the right way at least lol. Going to be an interesting draft for them

Shhh don’t tell the Daboll fans that you’re allowed to score a TD with a 3rd string QB!

That probably makes more sense to be honest. Its like asking someone if the Bills are going to beat New England. If that person says no, is he a hater? No it just means he thinks New England is going to win. That bills fan will of course will still be going for the Bills. Its the same for peterman. I think he is going to suck and I don’t want him on this team. BUT. He’s the QB for my favourite team now so I hope he plays well and gets the win.

Of course I’m disgusted lol. He’s awful. He has no business being on an NFL roster and now he’s their starting QB. That does not make me a hater... I hope Peterman rips it on Sunday. If I was wanting him to fail, then I would be a hater. There is a massive difference

I don’t understand the hater option? I am a hater because I think he is arguably the worst QB of all time and shouldn’t be on a roster? That would be more of a “realest “ rather than a hater. Nothing against the kid and I hope he succeeds. But he just flat out sucks

Oh I agree. But I still think you have a much better chance of converting a first down running it on 3rd and 2 or 3. Cause if you’re short by a yard, then run it again. (If the field position applies of course)

Are we still talking about football here?;)

Fair points. I would prefer them running on 3rd and shorts personally just because they have the worst passing game in the NFL. But like I said. If you are going to throw, at least show the threat of the run. It’s way too predictable in that sense

I don’t really get your point to be honest . Most teams in the NFL actually pass on 3rd and 2s and 3s the majority of the time to begin with. And “ predictable” can be varied in many ways. When he lines up the Bills in shotgun on 3rd and shorts, every single person knows he is going to pass. At least I do anyways. If you’re going to pass, at least show the threat of a run to keep the defence honest.

What is wrong with what I said? You have Derek Anderson as your QB, with absolutely no weapons on the outside. Why would you put it in Anderson’s hands?

The thing I don't understand Is why do people either completely blame it on the lack of talent, or completely blame it on Daboll? In my opinion it is BOTH. The talent sucks, but at the same time Daboll has been awful as well. Not a fan of his predictable play calling, throwing it on 3rd and shorts when they have Derek Anderson as their QB, running it on 2nd and longs into a stacked box, and his game planning as well. (I still don't understand how he thought running east/west against a Bills Belichick defence was a good strategy) It does not have to be one or the other. It is very possible and actually even very probable that the talent and the OC is killing them at the same time.

Oh no definitely not saying that. I hope the kid rips it. I just have 0 faith unfortunately. And I think it’s it’s pretty reasonable for me to think that

Anyone but Peterman. He shouldn’t be on the roster. After week 1 he should have been cut and they should have signed a more veteran QB to replace him as a backup. Like Landry Jones, Matt Moore, Barkley even. One of those guys should have been signed after week 1. (I acknowledge Jones isn’t a veteran) Now? They really don’t have a choice do they? They completely butchered this whole situation. They have to go with peterman at this point. The pitch forks will be out in Buffalo if he stinks it up again

That’s fine, and I respect that. I just find it ridiculous that I get called a negative Nancy when I am not excited for the Bills to start Nathan Peterman...

I am negative because I am not optimistic about arguably the worst QB in NFL history starting on a 2-6 team? Ok lol. Enjoy the kool-aid
