Just thought your general hypocrisy was worth pointing out

This thread is still going? What did the OP originally ask? How could a switch to Peterman be any worse? Well, Peterman could have a game like week one this year for Andy Dalton where Dalton through zero TDs and four INTs. or like Ryan Fitzpatrick in 2016 against the Chiefs where he threw zero TDs and six INTs or like Gino Smith against us a few years back when he threw eight passes total and had three interceptions. It can get worse. It can get a lot worse. You can bring in all the arguments you want about an ineffective offense, but I guarantee that McDermott would prefer a stagnant and even ineffective offense that protects the football and doesn't turn the ball over to an offense that takes chances and turns the ball over. We have a defense oriented head coach. That's what it is and the way things are. You guys want to have this conversation, that's fine. But it's pretty useless considering Peterman isn't going in there until were either out of the playoff hunt or Taylor is injured. And those of you who are wishing for an injury (and I know there are some of you who want Taylor to get hurt so that Peterman can be put in), you really assume an awful lot, like that you know a lot more than our head coach. We're winning games we were never supposed to win his way. It really looks like we have a shot at the playoffs with the way this team is playing and our schedule actually seems to soften up a little. Putting Peterman in and allowing him to be potentially exposed as he turns the ball over significantly more than the game managing Taylor is problematic for the way our head coach wants to win games. That's why Taylor remains in there and why Peterman won't see the field until the scenarios I said above. Now go ahead and wish for an injury, but shame on you. The rest of us are going to watch and root for the playoffs with Taylor at the helm.

8th best, actually. And the 31st best passing defense. I'm anticipating Taylor's best passing game of the year next Sunday.

Yes, so in typical TBD fashion we apparently must talk about the most recent game being the sole representation of what he is. Let's just disregard the good things that he did and the praises sung by even the anTy Taylor guys after 2 good games against 2 of the best teams in the NFL. Taylor's last 4 games were against the #1, #2, #4 and #10 defenses in the NFL. And maybe not surprisingly Taylor's 2 worst games came against the #2 and the #5 passing defense in the NFL Things are very very likely about to get much better for the offense. Of course, if the offense and specifically Taylor have a good game or two coming out of the bye, some of the posters dominating the conversation with all the negative crap over the bye week are going to hide in a cave until Taylor has a bad game. Aren't you guys just sick and tired of this already? We have a team that is a contender. They look like a good team and have been competing in every single game they've been in and I've probably had the toughest schedule in the NFL to start the season. With the inconsistency of the passing game in the first five games I don't think anyone really strongly believes that Taylor is our long-term answer. That doesn't mean we can't win with him at the helm and even make a run at the playoffs. Enjoy the ride

The fact that you're still throwing out numbers for rankings tells me you're really missing the point. Shocking

https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/10/10/16447198/buffalo-bills-quarterback-tyrod-taylor-total-production-passing-and-running This article pretty well sums up reality

Same can even more easily be said for passing yards.

Raiders, Dolphins, Browns and Jags vs Panthers, Broncos, Falcons and Bengals That's the difference in competition and particularly in the level of defenses played with the exception of the mutual game as the first game of the season. I think after the bye we are going to see Taylor's passing average go back up above 200 yards and the offense is going to look better. That was a murderers row to start the season in terms of competition. I'm glad I'm only in an out of here over our time up until the Bucs game because people are just being ridiculous with the way they're acting like the sky is falling for a team that is 3-2 and seriously exceeding expectations already. R-E--L-A-X

Weird. I've hardly been here and haven't bothered engaging in Thurm and yet, you're obsessed with bringing me into the conversation. I see you're stuck on the same ole schtick. Good for you. So sweet, Thurm. I miss you too

I legitimately expect our offense to come out from the bye and look a lot better than they have, despite our depleted WR corps and missing Clay. We've had a murderer's row of a schedule and have done exactly what a good team is supposed to do: protect your home turf and steal some on the road. this has been a pretty crappy bye in terms of posting on here. I'm generally staying away because people are so melancholy about this team, which is ridiculous to me. this has been a pretty crappy bye in terms of posting on here. I'm generally staying away because people are so melancholy about this team, which is ridiculous to me. We're 3-2 and I bet we've had one of the toughest schedules through 5 games and we have been close to winning even the games we've lost.

Yes, I'm satisfied. Not excited. Not even happy. But satisfied, yes. I care about this football team winning this year. I don't want a rookie fifth round draft pick who the coach clearly doesn't think is ready and isn't looking at as our long term answer given all of his efforts to acquire draft picks for next year being thrown in just because of the "grass is always greener on the other side" mentality. We can and are winning with Taylor. It's a little funny to me because even you were praising him after Denver and Atlanta. How quickly we forget. I think it's becoming more and more and more and more clear that McDermott plans on drafting a QB in the first round in 2018. Fine by me and fine by the rest of us, I'm sure. But I want to see us continue to win and be competitive right now. So yes, I'm satisfied. Do I want better? Of course. Am I willing to risk taking some serious steps back just to see what we have in some fifth round draft pick? No, we win now and let Taylor ride this out and draft his replacement in 2018 if things continue as they are. It's that simple.

As I have said for the last couple years, Taylor's ceiling may not be that of an elite franchise QB, but his floor is much higher than most other QBs. It's really that simple. And that's why he'll start the rest of the year and Peterman won't take over the way some lunatics are so desperate to see.

I know it's the homer in me, but yes. I think defense is more important than offense and I think we have an elite defense. And I think (or hope, more likely) that the offense is going to find a way to put some things together over the bye week. Our schedule really lightens up after the bye.

Works for me

OK, something with our signatures? Donate money to your favorite charity? What do you want to do?

Yeesh... how many pages of you guys going back and forth on this now? No one will ever change their minds. However, I think we can unequivocally say that McDermott isn't considering making a change at QB right now. I'm fine with "what if" threads because I've started them. But Peterman won't start any time soon, barring injury. Guys. It's the bye week. Go get outside.

Change can't be due to injury, though. If Taylor gets hurt and is out, let's say, any more than 3 games, bet's off.

No. They. Couldn't. Terrible hyperbole on your part

Name the terms. Friendly wager. Bills make the playoffs Vs Bills don't make the playoffs What do you think a coverage sack is?

Who really cares what some message board dude thinks? Good for you. Go grab a cookie. McDermott's sticking with the guy you're done with. Root for another team if you like. You won't be missed. The leeches are truly out in full force right now. Just pathetic.

Per report? You mean his report on passer rating? So... passer rating is acceptable to use when he has a bad game? But I guess you're going to dismiss his 106.7 passer rating last week? Or his 126 passer rating the week before against both the 3rd best defense and the 3rd best passing defense in the NFL? Or that his career passer rating is about the same as league MVP of 2016 Matt Ryan? Shady, you're name really fits you at this point. That's not a compliment.

11 players on offense 1 incredible RB learning a new outside zone running scheme 1 young TE thrust into a starting role due to injury with a guy who's a former QB playing TE while learning the position behind him A starting WR corps that consists of 2 guys with ZERO NFL catches combined in the NFL prior to 2017 and a guy primarily known for his special teams ability (pick Holmes or Tate cause both fit the bill) An OL that clearly can't run or pass block very well with a rookie at LT and an entire right side in shambles But yeah dude. It's clearly all our QB's fault. You're taking a pathetic dive with your posting.

There were 2 questions. Your "yes" is to which one?

Wanna make a friendly bet? Barring injury, of course. Taylor's fatal flaw? The team is WINNING with him at QB more than they're losing. Helloooooo?!?!

We're 3-2 with Taylor as our starter and have beaten 2 of the better teams in the league that'll probably end up in the playoffs. Are you saying we won't make the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor as our starter?
