If the situation dictates(TT injury or season slipping away), and he is ready, why can't Peterman play and succeed right away? Because of the notion that EVERY QB in order to be successful, must sit and learn for a year? Did it hurt Wilson and Prescott? I'm not saying Peterman will be ready to handle it, but if the HC thinks he can be the man, then turn him loose.

I wonder how much heat the Pegula's would have to take from both the local, and more importantly national media, before they realize they need to get the heck out of the way? IMO they have used up all the goodwill they had built up when first acquiring the franchise(s). To have this upheaval with both team simultaneously is mind boggling.

Any chance they can be convinced that their lacrosse team(Buffalo Bandits) is where they need to focus the most, and leave the Bills and the Sabres to someone else?

...yeah but Snyder is only wrecking one franchise. The Pegula's somehow have both their teams spiraling downward.

Ummmm....how about the in over his head owner(s) who agreed to this ??

My biggest concern is that Pegula has given way too much power to McD...a rookie HC. I just find it hard to believe he is going to be able to thrive in this environment. Head coaches who work 16 hour days and sometimes sleep in the office should leave personnel issues to the GM and his staff.

The Pegula's will continue down this road of being fools, if they have given McD the power that some believe he has been given. IMO it will not end well.

You don't think he is providing advice to Pegula as to how to run his organization? I'm not talking about Russ being involved in day to day football operations

I've said this just a few weeks ago when the Sabres cleaned house. What is the common denominator at the top of both teams... Pegula(s) and Brandon. It all starts at the top...

It's not that Whaley didn't deserve to be fired. It's the timing of it. Why not can him, when you fired Rex. Now it appears they have given way too much power to the new HC, and a new GM will just be his puppet. Pegula's need to get out if the way with both teams... 1 - Talk to most experienced NFL people you can find 2 - Hire a VP of Football Operations or in the case of the Sabres...Hockey Operations 3 - VP hire GM. 4 - GM hires HC with some input from VP 5 - Problem solved.

This was my biggest concern when he purchased both franchise. What a nightmare.

The part about convincing....sounds a lot like a coach they just fired.

If true, don't you think this ROOKIE head coach is biting off way more than he can chew. I think it is going to end badly.

I'd love to know Pegula's advisors...outside of those listed with the Bills(Brandon). This guy went from never firing anyone to steamrolling everyone in his path. He is very soon going to make Snyder look like a choir boy. I don't know which team is in worse shape..Bills or Sabres? Being a Buffalo sports fan sucks.

Pegula still doesn't get it. Can't wait to hear of the Sabres hirings. The Pegula(s) needs to be schooled by the best executives in the NFL. I'm not sure who is advising him, but they SUCK AT IT!

Thx. Now if the Bills would sign one of them...

Not sure, but I would guess it will come out sooner rather than later.

You know what I love reading about Peterman the most? The same thing that drives me crazy with TT because he lacks this... Throws with outstanding timing and anticipation.

I always want the Bills to find a change of pace scat back w/good receiving skills and a small quick slot receiver ala Edelman/Beasley/etc... Any good UDFA's who fit the mold? Also sign me up for Carroll Phillips

I thought I read that he has very inconsistent hands.

I actually think it ends up being TT, TJ & Peterman. Cardale to PS and if some other team wants to sign him from the PS, so be it.

You mean like Thurman back in the day?

My point is how do you even speculate who they can sign as a UDFA with this many players left to be drafted.

I didn't like either of the LB picks

There are still 60 picks to go in the draft?
