    Strawman. He was promoted to start in the middle of a playoff run over a competent veteran starter. He would have started more games if coach say-nothing could have found even a sliver of justification for it amidst Peterman’s voluminous suckitude.

    That's not a strawman. 2017 was not a playoff year outside of semantics.  They were moving on from tyrod amd it was a rebuild; they tested the telent pool.  Power of hindsight - use it.

  2. I did not change much.  Went from realistic about this season over the off season (6-7 wins) to pessimistic for this season (4-5 wins).  The oline and defense caused that mostly.  RB we improved on since last year.  Maybe QB but way too soon to say that beyond fan speak.  Going to be interesting to watch for sure.

     

    Last year we had a great D in weeks 1-4 and a record pace turnover ratio.  They sucked in the middle of the season and then got good again.  Seeing what the buffalo D looks like on Sunday is maybe as big a question to me as passing game.

     

    Beyond this season - high hopes.  Cap space and likely decent draft spots and two young QBs developing.  We'll see a playoff win within three seasons I'd bet and hopefully upward from there.

    We definitely have a concerning group on this board that can't process criticism of the team and then wallow in despair when the team loses.

     

    That is a highly unhealthy combination.

     

    It's entertainment.........and a product where you aren't given free-market options.........not realizing this and your right to expect more and be critical of bad results is an invitation to mental illness.

    I do remember that there was a definite uptick of local health problems immediately after some of those super bowl losses.  It really took a toll on some.

    That was a good career from where I'm sitting.  Likely no brain or little brain damage later on too; though maybe arthritis in the leg he broke.  Good bye EJ. Though I don't miss all those clothing trees full of your unbought jerseys year after year.

    It is going to be AJ McCarron.

     

    And I for one and excited, and it's all about that game he had last night!

     

    If he can add around 100 yards passing to last night's game, keep the same number of passing TD's, double his completion percentage, take 4 fewer sacks, and throw zero interceptions, he will be able to match the performance of the great EJ Manuel!

     

    You mean the second half he had last against a non starter defense?  All three of our QBs have looked good in the second half and all three bad in the first.  Likely our o-line vs a starting defense in large part.

     

    Start anyone but JA in weeks 1-4 and thru decide from there.  Our o-line is criminal negligence.  We are unlikely to win those games regardless of qb so don't risk the kid until we better know what the o-line can rise up to.

  6. Bring him back!  Chain him up to a weight bench with nothing light enough to throw within reach.  Unleash him on the opposing defenses after a lot of propaganda as to how much of a dangerous animal he is.  Let them fear.  Maybe smash up his car and leave logos for next week's team on it framing their fans as the culprits. Think fast times at ridgemont high.  We can make this work!  Prove me wrong.  /S

    My larger gripe is that we also didn’t fix anything else. We got Allen. The dude has skills, but also a lot of question marks. Getting your QB shouldn’t mean you don’t get better literally ANYWHERE ELSE

     

    This is to most all of you guys - last year you all wanted the playoff drought ended more than you wanted a rebuild amd now you are griping about the hangover.  You wanted the playoff chance AND the QB - you got em.  But it cost dearly. 

    This is not our year either.  I'm not in favor of purposely tanking but I also do not want to win 8 or 9 feckless games yet again.  I say we play to grow and learn and develop and not to win games.  Not sure exactly what that looks like but there it is. Always forward; never straight.   8-8 perenially is death - as we should well know by now.

    If you wait until Peterman has played them out of the playoffs, then it's not really "both".

     

    I agree with others above--if this was a situation  where it was Allen or a seasoned starter (or at least a seasoned backup with significant starting experience), then maybe this would be a more interesting question.

     

    But Peterman is not that, so it's not.

     

     

    This team is not going to the playoffs though.  Just sayin.  Develop.
