I realize that but sticking with a guy thats clearly never going to progress beyond what he is now is like beating your head against the wall.
I am all for starting the guy, I don't want to see another game like the last two. The hesitation I have is what if he still needs time to understand the game. He isn't a first round pick for a reason but I haven't seen anything from him to believe he can't do it yet though. I like his composure but preseason and mopup duty and starting a game are two very different scenarios. I'm cautiously optimistic understanding he just might not be ready. I am hoping we have the right people in place to make that decision.

We saw how horrible Brown was last year. How he survived the coaching change is mind boggling.
Alexander's play has dropped off. He can't get off blocks and missing too many tackles. I think he is on the field too much and is worn down.
I was expecting a stronger run defense when Humber got back but it has pretty much gone the other way. I don't think it is necessarily his fault but the whole front seven has been garbage the past two weeks and we are going downhill fast if they don't adjust. Take Brown out and whoever else even along the line if we don't get consistent play. Time to start playing the process talk and make people hold to it when they obviously aren't

And a 6th rounder is headed to the HOF as the Goat after he hangs his cleats up.
You don't know what he is until you give him a chance.
We know what Tyrod is and isn't and its time to move on.
I don't disagree as long as we realize late rounders don't always have star power, heck Taylor is a sixth rounder doesn't mean he will be enshrined.
-
Sustained offense drives every once in a while wouldn't hurt but these LBs are not starters. Consider McDerm's last job he had Davis and Kuechly and now he has Humber and Preston.
-
McDerm said what he had to. Every coach would say that right after the game if they had any sense. What they actually do might not change but he is best evaluating rather than opening the door right now. Emotional decisions are bad. Part of the decision has to be what is in the best interest for Peterman. Also what if they do go with Peterman in LA, why give the Chargers any more time to prepare for Peterman?

So he can rot on the vine?
I hope the coach changes his mind because right now he has the wagon hitched to the wrong horse,
They might go with him in the long run but 5th round QBs don't always become starters.
-
Garbage time wasn't the main issue because we weren't doing anything against any type of defense that game but the issue with thinking Peterman was successful is the Saints prepared for Taylor, a running QB(albeit one that doesn't run). Taylor doesn't see openings in coverage and throw in anticipation. Peterman was doing it. Taylor is good at making things happen when he can scramble but doesn't see the field real well. The Saints game plan would have been completely different on defense had Peterman been in there. We can't run because throwing is not a real threat. He seems to get thrown off by zones and checks down to short passes in the middle which makes it worse when we run on first and second into a stacked box and said third down is 5 yards too short.
-
Tyrod was very effective last year, he just seems to have one route he follows this year and ditches to RB if not happy with it. Peterman seems to scan the field more. Benjamin doesn't seem to be here for Taylor and I could feel there being a mutiny if they continue to let Taylor struggle when the team looks like it could be much better. Let's not kid ourselves though, this game against the Saints was never going to be a win. These Saints will win the super bowl if they keep playing like this, their defense has always been their achilles heel and it looks very solid this year.

During garbage time, when NO was nursing a 34 point, I wouldn't read too much into Peterman's performance. Could be completely different if Peterman started from minute 1 in the first quarter.
I'm sure Tyrod would have gotten something going way before the 34 point lead if he could have but I am also sure the Saints started playing off way before that point. Tyrod needs to be quicker in decision making. I know if teams game plan for Peterman it will be harder sledding but I kind of think 3 points wouldn't be all we would score. I think it is telling they kept starting receivers in with Peterman in there though.

Where are all those people telling me last offseason and last season it was a must we bring taylor back because Hoyer or a Rookie couldnt match TT production.
Really?????
I'm thinking he will get replaced next year but honestly the line play was the worst part about the last two games. Get him protection and he can be affective.

Ill give him 50 breaks to match his passing yards!
True that was sad but don't look too hard at the rest of the box score, you might be just as disappointed.
-
I know Tyrod is not elite but this game was more than Tyrod's fault. I don't see Tyrod being here next year but please give him a break

The great unknown prior to the draft...how the players react to fame and fortune.
Robinson played for Auburn.
Yeah I was thinking Cam Robinson
-
Not sure if he would be good but not sure we are the team to take that chance

I am trying to figure out why anyone would even say this.....
Justin Hunter....TT did this with Hunter who does not have half the talent of Kelvin Benjamen
This is a much different offense.... Tyrod won't be the QB next year unless they go deep in the playoffs imo. This trade was primarily for next year.

Can't see SD beating Jacksonville, I think they run away with that division. Not sure I'd want the Bengals winning since they would own the tiebreaker over us, the Titans will probably get 2 more losses from Jacksonville and LA, but outside of that, their schedule is fairly weak competition wise.
San Diego has been much better lately and the Jags have been so inconsistent.

I think they will play better, but still lose. N.O. is just a better team. I dont think Thurs was a fluke. Just a typical Bills road game. I expect the same outcome at Chargers.
Losing to a subpar team the way they did is a fluke, they have only done that once this year. Whether they do that again or not shows if it is a trend. For those blaming it being on Thursday night I don't buy into that notion, the Jets had the same amount of time. They just flat out were not ready.

Anomaly, yes, but I think there's more to it than that. Maybe Hughes's complaint was correct, and they just had a lot of trouble preparing on a short week. Whatever, a lot of things were uncharacteristic.
But I also think the Bills' talent on the offensive and defensive lines is below average and susceptible to getting pushed around. We haven't seen that exploited until the Jets game, and I think we will see more of it. It makes sense that one guy or another might not be mentally prepared, but for both lines to get manhandled like that suggests that talent has something to do with it.
I agree and I think why "the process" has been so important is because McDerm has known the talent is not fully in house. I am curious what becomes of Dawkins and Conor McDermott, are they the future Bills tackles. McDermott has been untouchable with cuts yet he doesn't play any games or is even dressed. I also tend to believe most of the LBs on our roster might not make it to next year. I don't see Brown staying as our MLB, in fact the surprise first round pick I could even see being the replacement.
-
I think you really have to chalk this game up to anamoly. Nothing looked like it has all season, penalties, tackling, turnover battle. Now with the weather getting colder let's see if the Bills understand how to use it to their advantage.
-
The Bills would have lost at least two of those games last year against the Falcons and Raiders because they wouldn't have been demolished by the passing games. I also would say the Falcons and Broncos were undefeated when we faced them so since then the fortunes have changed.
-
I would like to see Cordy, Incog, Wood, Dawkins, Henderson. But we will never see Dawkins at Guard because they think he is the future LT as early as next year.
-
Let's just go down each position (Free Agents would work too)
QB-I think a long term needs to be addressed, is it Peterman? than a backup needs to be found
RB-We need at least a bruiser and McCoy will wear down soon, maybe next year or after
WR-Don't mess with this group unless a burner is available in the fourth
TE-I think we have decent depth here with O'Leary,Clay and Thomas
OG- two Guards need to be replaced with a backup
C-we are good with Wood and Groy but I could see an upgrade here too
T- I think we have McDermott grooming for the right side and Dawkins for the left potentially so I think that is good
S- need backups but really enjoy watching Poyer and Hyde. My favorite position on the team
CB-One more starter, depth good
DT-I think all set
DE-Good with Alexander rotating
LB- at least two starters, with Lorax moving to DE
P,K- all set
I see high priority should be Guard, LB and CB. I could also see RB being a high priority. This fits the run and stop the run philosophy.

This is one game, let the Saints game at home play out before making judgements. Patriots were supposed to fall apart after the Chiefs game and what happened. The Bills have not lost two straight this year. This next week will determine what the true identity of this team is.
-
The question I have is why did it take two refs to talk it over and then throw the flag after Hughes was on the sidelines. Ultimately I don't think it altered the games outcome but felt like it was a proverbial poke of the eyes of an angry bear.
It was absolutely an unnecessary flag. This was the typical ref got his feelings hurt. Ref messed up a critical spot and got called out on it. He didn't touch the ref and wasn't out of control. Stupid flag
McD isnt the type of coach to put up with this kind of illdiscipline. Hughes will be gone if he does this again. The process may have started already after last night. It was a really stupid penalty.
Not so sure about that. I think McDerm will deal with it but didn't seem to be warranted.
-
Those are fair points. I'm not here to argue that TT is good.
I'm here to say he had absolutely no chance last night.
There o line got man handled in every facet of the game.
Put in Tom Brady and the Bills would still lose this game.
Brady might not have won the game but believe the Jets gameplan would have been different. Brady and McCoy on the field would have produced more than 21 points (of which 14 were garbage time). I have a feeling if Brady were on our team this might have been the first loss though. The Bills got lost in the big lights and kept turning the ball over, the Jets rose to the ocassion

I think most of them care. A 47-10 game is not what they want to be associated with.
