Do you think Buffalo is going to draft a QB in the 1st and let him stand on the sidelines learning? Its not going to happen IMO.

You say it served no useful purpose then go on to say it may have convinced Taylor to throw the football more. If Taylor gets injured do you think Peterman is ready to get tossed into the fire with very little preparation and stick with the same game plan? I don't, so we did accomplish something in my humble opinion. It was a calculated move to help spark the team, give Peterman some experience, send Taylor a message and gain valuable intel before the next draft. Everything was accomplished IMO. with all due respect

vs a meaningless game when you have to wonder how well the supporting cast is playing. I'm wondering that anyway...

5th round draft choices don't get many chances early on under normal circumstances. Taylor had to wait for years. So I wouldn't feel to bad for the most NFL ready Peterman because he's not and Buffalo knows that now. Nate Peterman should be grateful for the opportunity in my humble opinion. Perhaps he learned something from it and won't stink the place up so bad next time...

You accomplished two things IMO, evaluated Peterman when games still mean something and told Taylor checking down when its 4th and forever doesn't get the job done. Now Buffalo can go into the next draft with no holding back. It was a very cold and calculated move in my humble opinion. Someone had to do it...

thanks for the reply/good posting

This would not surprise me When you have a QB That struggles in the pocket it goes with the territory.

I'm so sick of running the ball on 1st down its driving me nuts. QB walks up to the line with a whole different approach knowing he has 3 downs throwing the football to make a 1st in my humble opinion.

I have zero desire to see N Peterman again this season

The Dareus trade may not have set well with the players IMO.

The success early on suggests to me when the team executes plays properly scheme is not the problem IMO. Missing tackles, missing blocks and dropping passes is a problem. What will be remembered about N Petermans 1st start will be the 5 INT's. What will be forgotten is how poorly the supporting cast played around him in my humble opinion. Every man on the Bills roster needs to take a real long look at themselves in the mirror and fix the problem...

Tyrod Taylor was benched because of poor play and McD took the opportunity to evaluate Peterman. The team needed a spark not a meltdown, but it is what it is and the outcome however ugly as it may have been told the Bills what we they to know IMO. The Buffalo Bills need a QB... ...before we all end up in the funny farm... Why, because McD had a team thats low on talent over achieving? Players like Marcell Dareus are a cancer to a locker room. Something you can't have from the highest paid player on the team. McD has the balls to make tough decisions looking into the future long term and I commend him for it. Like OP, I still Billieve...

Peterman is only responsible for 1 game of a 3 game losing streak. Who takes responsibility for one of the leagues worst passing O's going on 3 seasons?

Do you think any part of the team played well enough to win? because i don't

Incase you didn't notice Taylor looked like Trent Edwards in his last two outings. The Bills accomplished something today, Petermans not the answer. Tyrod Taylor getting benched is Taylors fault IMO...

Or take a game when it still matters and test Peterman now. No harm done, may have even help kicked start tyrod into performing like a real QB. Competition at the QB position is a good thing in my humble opinion...

Hell I hope Peterman didn't ruin Petermans career

yup

Petermans accuracy is off the charts IMO

While he may not have the cannon arm of your typical gunslinger Nate Peterman thinks he can put the football anywhere he wants it to go and is not afraid to try.

I find myself in disagreement with Shaw on many things, and I like it...

I understand Shaw fine and appreciate the honest, open and well mannered dialogue he brings to the table.

Its not machine gun kelly, but I'll take it

This is a real good post
