  1. At this point i’d like to see more of Peterman, but the coaches will probably pick Taylor... I think the bigger question would be if Taylor starts how long does he play if he can’t get the team moving? His last 3 starts he’s led us to 5FGs and 1 TD. That’s 22 points in 3 starts. He settled for under 70 yards in 2 of those games. That’s just not acceptable for a QB in his 7th season. We need more production out of our. We may get it with Peterman but it’s most likely gonna come with some mistakes. Doubt it will be as bad as in LA, but it probably happen. 

     

    Lesean Mccoy has had 2 hundred yard games this season when Taylor has started and 2 when Peterman has started... Kind of ironic.... But a lot of people on these boards have said we struggle to run because teams don’t respect our pass game. I think McCoy hitting big gains gives this team the best chance of winning.

    As 26SB said.........wasn't the case versus Tampa.

     

    This year the offense has been gutted of playmaking WR's......and even what should be complementary targets like Clay and Matthews have been unavailable often...........people act like picking up scrap heap Deonte Thompson after he was cut was supposed to give Tyrod an elite deep threat.:lol:   His opposite WR corps versusTampa featured Mike Evans and Deshawn Jackson.:doh:

     

    And last year........in losses where Tyrod started the Bills defense gave up an average of 31 points.....despite almost never having to face short fields because Tyrod didn't turn the ball over..........that's not lights out defense......it's AWFUL defense.

     

    They also gave up on average 17 in games we won with multiple turnovers in all. 

     

    And our O has scored 12.5 points per game our losses when Tyrod started. That includes garbage time points against Jets and Saints. 

     

    Our D is bad and our O is bad. Both very inconsistent this year but the D is what really helped us win games. 

     

    We have one of the worst passing offences in the league, this year and last. Sure there is multiple reasons for this and Taylor is a part of the problem. He may be the best QB we had since Kelly (debatable with Bledsoe)  but it still isn’t enough.

    Absolutely. They have said as much. Reminds my of the cockiness that McDaniels displayed when he took over Denver, and the tire fire that resulted. People complain about passing yards and missed throws, but he more than over compensates for that by protecting the ball, running effectively, and escaping trouble. Clearly, they don't care about the later--and would prefer a guy who hangs in the pocket and tries to make throws. He's not outside their box because they don't like black people , he's outside their box because black quarterbacks who excel at running don't always get credit for how their ability to run helps a team. This is a subtle distinction that most people miss, disregard, or refuse to acknowledge because they think Sean is such a nice guy, and couldn't possibly be racist. But its not an issue of him being a racist, at all, its the metrics that he is using, and the broader history that informs them.

    When we need to pass he can’t. That’s all it comes down too. Unless our D is playing lights out every game we lose, with the exception of a few where we lose when they are playing lights out (Panthers and Bengals). If we are in a close game and we need to score at the end we lose.... It really doesn’t matter how close you are at the end of the game if you still can’t win. It’s about making changes and finding something that consistently gets you Ws. Taylor isn’t that guy and he isn’t changing, he is who he is. Peterman definitely didn’t look like that guy Sunday but I wouldn’t judge a guy off one bad game. Especially his first

  4. Every week when we get behind the announcers comment on how this team can’t play from behind with Taylor because of his passing ability. 

     

    Our D was getting torched the past few weeks and Sunday Rivers moved the ball with ease. Didn’t matter where the drive started it ended in points.  Taylor would not of won this game. I could care less about what happened to Peterman, sure will see him again when we are 5-7. Oline sure the !@#$ didn’t help him. Kid wasn’t sitting in the pocket looking for WRs. He made quick decisions and tried to get the ball out but our line couldn’t hold off the pass rush. 

     

    We have beat teams that aren’t very good this season. We thought we were better then we are because of what these teams have done in the past. We won these games on the shoulders of our defense. When McDermot said we are better then 5-4, he was right. We should of started 7-0 the way the D was playing early in the season, but our O was !@#$ing terrible against the Panthers and Bengals.  Our O has been struggling all season. All those turnovers and our MVP on O during that stretch was Hauska. 

     

    It wasn’t a bad decision to put Peterman in, it was a bad decision to put him in against the Chargers pass rush.

  5. Anyone who thinks this game may be a reason to why we don’t make the playoffs has to be kidding themselves! 

     

    Why not the Carolina game where our O scored 6 points? Why not the Bengals game where the O was pretty !@#$ing terrible also? How about the last 2 where our O and D were awful. Did we fix our D problems in SD? Because Rivers moved the ball down the field with ease all day, it didn’t really matter where they started from. 

     

     

    I was excited for playoffs myself when we started off beating Denver, Oakland and Atlant but the reality is those teams are underperforming what was expected of them. They just aren’t what they were last season. 

     

    We haven’t won any games this season because the play of our offense, we won because this defense. The same defense that is getting torched every week now. 

     

    We just aren’t a playoff team. It’s that simple. We have major holes and the QB play is one of them. Tyrod will not take this team to the playoffs now (we’ve had the same results the past 2 years with Tyrod) and the way Rivers moved the ball Sunday he would not of won had he started. 

     

    If we go back to Tyrod, you’ll see Peterman again in 3 weeks when we are 5-7.  

     

  6. We’ve been in the playoff hunt at this point in the season the past 3 years. I’m happy for the change and look forward to seeing what Peterman can do. I expect some struggles but I don’t think he’s gonna tank out there. 

     

    Hopefully, his accuracy, decision making and anticipation is as advertised. It’s been a long time since we had a qb we could compliment on all 3 of these attributes or any of them for that matter.  That’s what makes Peterman so intriguing to me. 

     

     

  7. The past 3 years we been around .500 hoping to get in and what has it done for us? I glad we got a coach who thinks that is unacceptable. Despite who was on the field, Peterman made quick decisions with accurate passes. I’m sure they see more of the same in practice week to week. We have won games because of our D not our O. To be honest, with alittle better QB play we could of easily started 7-0 with the way this D was playing. The past 2 games were terrible for the D and the struggling O only made it worse with all the !@#$ing 3 and outs. No one knows how this is gonna turn out but i’m excited to see something different. Hope it works

  8. I havent said many good things about Tyrod in the past, to me the past 3 games he has shown big improvements passing the ball and getting WRs involved. He has stood in the pocket and made some real nice throws and hasnmt relied on the checkdown as much. Hopefully he keeps it up. Clay, Benjamin, Matthews and an improving Zay with speedy Thompson looks is starting to look like very good supporting cast.

  9. The only thing I get out of this is our wins against the Broncos and the Falcons arent as big as we thought. Sorry, but they aint as strong as they were hyped up to be.. Good thing is, I think a lot of teams are trying to find themselves right now. Nobody is undefeated and only 2 teams are sitting at 5-1. Its tighter then usual at this point.

     

    Im not to concerned about Taylor yards, just more concerned that when put in passing situations he fails miserably. We could be 4-1 or 5-0 if he could run a 2 minute offense. That will come back to haunt us. Games vary each week on both sides of the ball, when you have opportunities to win these games you look to your QB. Sadly, what people dont realize is, if Taylor was better in these situations we may have been to the playoffs already.... And im sure ill get a lot of responses on how bad our D was, which is true. But if you have the ball at the end of the game and we need points to win or tie, it all starts with the QB. You cant change that.
