Billsfan1972

Very close except the ints.

Bears were home and Mack back. Detroit put up more yards too. I think even though my thread it is dead and I hope Peterman gets a practice squad job and opportunity elsewhere.

2017 I just reviewed the schedule and the Bills won 3 games by more then one score..... NYJ, Den & Oak (all at home and against terrible teams). Only 2 losses were one score losses (vs. Cin & Carolina) where the Offense failed misably, and again highlighted just how bad the Offense and the game planning was..... Sorry will say both should/could have been won with any semblance of one and yes Watkins...... So 5 losses blow-outs and 6 wins nailbiters and usually meant hanging on. Sorry was not a fun year looking at it this way.

I was complaining plenty last year and the decisions McD made on the O were almost all failures..... Even wins were not satisfying for the most part. Again great & above average players get paid and shock of shocks the best stay with their teams and are resigned. The Only competent receiver that jumps off the team that has been traded or moved on is Golden Tate. Let me guess as a FA he'll be too rich for Buffalo's liking and doesn't fit the "culture". They did not have to tear down a 7-9 team (from 2016).....

Well what TP should do, is come out and properly support his GM and assert he is in charge of the team. Make sure he hires the best OC and diminsh McD's influence on the desisions and hires on that side of the ball. A Sean McVay type acknowledged as the rising star and pay him above the going rate (only coaching). All the picks (except maybe first round) address the offense. McD's influence needs to be tempered as by all accounts it is just too much currently.

He tore the Offense down in the pre-season in 2017 and people are still defending his Process, Culture, Play between the 20's & Buffalo Bills Football...... The Browns defense is fine...... I can only imagine what he would have done to their Offense.

It was a tongue in cheek post.. I blame McD for the mess and was only commenting if Peterman remained on the bench, where he belonged how long would his career have lasted.

Chase McDaniels has thrown........ 78 career passes...... $28,000,000/78 = $358,974/pass!!!!!!!

Again Peterman is not an NFL ready QB and what McD did in 2017 was stupid and he doubled down this year. Quit comparing the 2017 5th round qb with the #7 pick.

Some people seem to get it...... I don't care, never did about Peterman. No idea who he was outside the 5th round backup to TT in 2017. I was, and feel free to check my posts, highly critical and upset at the trading of Watkins and continually harpingon the inability or unwillingness to have an innovative passing game and inability to throw for 300 yards. I was on prior to the LAC game deriding the decision as lunacy. Not Peterman's fault, he is just the figurehead for what McD has done to this Offense. Where in Can't Help Myself did you get lost????? Not enough smilies to give it away?

It was tongue in cheek.... Geez where's the sense of humour here?

Peterman or McD? Peterman was probably fine as a fifth round draft pick. McD screwed it all up with his preseason moves in 2017 and thinking Offense is an afterthought.

Just stop it please....

He wasn't ready and should never have seen the field beyond mop up duty..... As said tongue in cheek & while I never want to see Peterman start or succeed for the Bills, as that would be fools gold and we'd (as fans and those on this site) be stuck in multiple threads and back & forths as to his ability or to keep him and trot him out over & over, I do to some extent feel sorry & bad for him. As said too, this is entriely McD's fault. Now I wonder if anyone asks Chase Daniels whether he'd rather have $28,000,000 or have been given the opportunity that NP got? Oh & thanks to all that got the gist of the thread.......

As said I was having fun..... Thanks for reminding me of Curtis Painter. As said TT barely threw a ball prior to being signed by the Bills and had 4 years to watch & learn. He has done well. Chase Daniels just blows me away....... Eli Mannings back-ups probably have done well as have Rivers and other workhorse QB's...... Maybe things would have been different if Peterman had a chance to watch & learn under a smart offensive coach...... A Sliding Doors scenario....

Here is a perfect example...... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/chase-daniel-7081/ No career to speak of, but has done pretty well...... $28,000,000 & 233 NFL Snaps!!!!!!

It was tongue in cheek and a reference to a # of QB's who have toiled in anonymity for years as a back-up and actually make good money and seldom see the field. As a fifth round pick if he was as luck as Tyrod (who I do like), he'd have learned for 4 yards, seldom seen trhe field, earned decent money and then get an opportunity and maybe better results. Conversely we have Dak Prescott who had a great situation, an offense that when he first played masked his flaws and shorcomings and he looked like a banafide competent QB. Now when he is asked to throw and lead the Cowboys it is a different story.

And probably millions of dollars by playing him and making him a whipping boy/punchline. Looking at the list of NFL back-ups and third-stringers, NP could well have been a very competent back-up QB and one of the greatest pre-season practise players of all-time. Four years as a back-up with almost no NFL playing time and yes maybe he would have learned, watched and then was given an opportunity much more mature and capable. Maybe he would have succeeded. Look at his predecessor Tyrod Taylor. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TaylTy00.htm Very simply I feel somewhat sorry for Peterman and blame McD for creating this sham that all started with him and his dismantling of the O in 2017 and the terrible offensive coaching and playcalling. They are to blame for putting Peterman in when he wasn't ready and not giving him the tools (players and schemes) to succeed and ruining what as said could have been a nice career as a buck-up.

If true, then Allen has to start. Sounds like the pre-season all over again........

Take out those majical 50 minutes (second half vs. LAC & first 20 minutes vs. Minny) where the bills scored 41 points and were +38 point differential it would really be scary.......

No 90% of us rubes would much rather see a 35-31 win as opposed to a 13-10 one........ Probably the same people who hate the 3-point shot in basketball and are enthralled by those 89-84 NBA games where not necessarily great defense but shots missed. Memphis Grizzlie fans who were okay with those scores when they won 50 gm/yr, but not losing 50/gm......

Sorry I can't get past what they did to the offense and not understanding how you win in the NFL today. They keep hoping that all they need is to win the battle of field position, get turnovers and grind out 13-10 games is the key to success. 2017 they took an okay offense (though I hated their passing game) and turned it into a disaster. And they did what they could in the offseason to make it even worse. They get blown out way too often and even in their wins not fun to watch. They played 20 minutes of good football vs. Minny and that was it. The defense is good, but more in a bend don't break way and this goes back to 2017. That only works for so long.

Exactly...... How a team that is not better then 9-7 (and that was all of 2 years in the last 10 or so) could be in cap hell and fiction...... Again how are almost all top-tier WR's retained by their teams, but the Bills, is unfathomable. News alert almost all top WR's are Prima Donnas and expect the cash and to be thrown the ball.

We do have this website!!!! C'mon if Peterman starts and the score in 40-3 NYJ wouldn't be a bad thing would it?

Again I don't want to wait that long, have waited plenty long enough........
