Unfortunately, we'll never know. But the reality is that Peterman was the reason we lost that game and it was the worst half the NFL has seen from a QB since ther AFL/NFL merger. Like I said, if we end up one game out, that decision is certainly a pretty big smudge on what was otherwise mostly a positive year for McDermott.

Throwing a game to the Chargers by putting a dumpster fire under center certainly didn't help anything. This team manages to go 9-7 and misses the playoffs by one game because of the tiebreaker, that Chargers game is really going to come back into the fold of this discussion. We lost that game, very simply, because Peterman threw a ton of interceptions. I can already see us missing by one game. That'll be just wonderful

No one's saying he's the long term answer. I'm certainly not. Doesn't mean you're required to stretch the truth in order to only speak negatively about him.

Currently 16/36. http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/leaders.asp?range=NFL&rank=098&type=Passing&year=2017 Also, 55% of Taylor's 3rd down plays that have resulted in a ball leaving his hand or a sack have been for 8+ yards. I can't find an exact stat for this, but if we don't average the longest distance to convert on 3rd down, I'd be surprised. But even then, it'll be 2nd or 3rd most. And I have a legitimate question to you: do you actually care about plays that are 3rd down passing plays or do you only care about plays where the ball leaves Taylor's hand or he's sacked, which is the number the NFL tracks? I ask because scrambles are passing plays, too. And Taylor often converts 3rd downs by scrambling. Hell, he was a perfect 3/3 on scramble conversions on 3rd down against the Patriots. Taylor has actually improved as a 3rd down QB, believe it or not. I'm looking forward to all the reasoning about to be thrown at those facts just to try to make Taylor look like the worst QB in the NFL

Good. Gronk's a piece of ****

3-1? We're going 4-0, baby!

How about a single half? Doesn't a messy field typically benefit the offensive player?

Play nice now, Shady

What a friggin joke! Our OL sucks!

Nope. I'm not. It's clear as day we'll be drafting a QB in the 1st round next year. Taylor still could be here in 2018. That's still possible, but we're going to be drafting his replacement in the 2018 draft. Hope it's someone great.

I've moved on. I still think Taylor gives us the best chance to win and still want to make the playoffs, but also realize it's a bit far-fetched. I'm still rooting for it, though. And if we start Peterman this weekend, God I hope he pulls a 180 from the Chargers game. I'd love to see him and Reilly start connecting like they did in preseason. I am not and have never been a fan of individual players. That's a Millennial thing that I have very little respect for. I'm loyal only to the Buffalo Bills. If they ever left Buffalo, I probably wouldn't care about the NFL much at all. In the end, though, I'm a bit numb going into the last quarter of the season. I just want a goddamn QB already and want to know who this regime targets. I know nothing about these college QBs but hope 1 or 2 are worth trading up into the top 5 for because that's what I'm pretty sure we're doing.

It's a contradiction to say that no one believes that Taylor's a Franchise QB despite acknowledging people may have believed it in the past? Why would it be any kind of contradiction whatsoever? Saying "no one believes the world is flat, no one's believed that since the mid 1400s" isn't a contradiction, is it? My point was simply that anyone who ever had the notion that Taylor was our franchise QB or even could be our franchise QB no longer exist, so this thread seems to be pointing fingers at people who have moved on. Seems like a pretty pointless exercise.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. There's a serious loss of translation when typing on a message board and I thought the comment from you was meant to be sarcastic and condescending. It wasn't, so my bad. I'm the guilty party here.

Knew you'd like that comment

First of all, what are those boxes at the top? Whether it's a browser thing or an inside joke I'm not getting, they just look like boxes. Second of all, you don't call posts of mine or really anyone who's ever said anything positive about Taylor stupid or several other negative things? Seriously? That's what you're going with? So now on top of proving you have no integrity because you can't adhere to a bet YOU make yourself and then LOSE, you also prove to be a liar? Third of all, why are you so obsessed with Taylor that you feel you have to talk about him so much?

Boo hoo? Shady, you're being kind of a douche. I apparently bring out the worst in you. Maybe you should put me on your ignore list... that one you claim you have Jm on despite the fact that you'll constantly banter back and forth with him.

Are you having reading comprehension problems again, Shady? "No one believes that. No one's believed that for weeks, probably." really don't understand that? There's no "which is that" in there because my statement doesn't contradict itself. Or are you just gleefully trying to dig up all the folks you idiots have labelled as being in a cult so that you can insult them for their opinions?

Obviously an uncatchable pass isn't Dennison's fault. What a stupidly veiled premise here. You're holding onto the notion that you need to prove to anyone that believes Taylor is a Franchise QB or even that he'll be in a Bills uniform much longer that he's not and that he won't. No one believes that. No one's believed that for weeks probably. That doesn't change the fact that Dennison blows.

Neither Taylor nor Peterman are talking to the media today. It's pretty sad McDermott is playing this cat and mouse game against a Colts team we should easily beat no matter who's under center. If it were Patriots week or even 'Phins week, maybe it's a little different, but for once in my life as a Bills fan I'll just say it before we play: We're going to win

You haven't been a Bills fan for very long if you're saying this about Meatball. Pathetic

Oh my bad!!! I just forgot that was the last one.

Was that the Freddy Jackson spotlight game with Manning being rested?

Deja vu to virtually every beginning of December for the last 17 years I'm not a Tanker, I'm just numb.

You realize Reilly will probably be inactive, then we'll waive him for some reason planning to put him on the PS, then the Patriots will claim him and he's going to destroy us in week 16 the way Eric Lee did on Sunday
