Well, that's what changed since the 2nd blowout, and even more so after this one. Most of us, and I'm sure, most of the PLAYERS, now doubt the "process" too. McD and staff look like amateurs now. And while I like many have disliked Dennison and Castillo since week 1, we still trusted McD and Frazier. Who does today? I didn't think that there would be voices clamoring for a new coach or praising Rex this year! Yet here we are. And in all that, the Bills can STILL make the playoffs, as unlikely as it feels right now. The draft talk assumes that the Bills staff will select the right players. You trust them on this?

After a loss it's fair weather doom and gloom crybabies. But after THREE CONSECUTIVE BLOWOUTS how exactly is it supposed to be? All rosy and optimistic?

Now everybody piles it on... and the last 3 games sure indicates they're right. But if you didn't have these thought before, stop playing Mr Know-it-Alls. Who didn't think McD was quite an upgrade over Ryan? That maybe the Bills might have stuck gold with this coach? Now everything goes to the trash heap. I'm baffled. I mean we Bills fans have seem a lot of atrocious play the last 17 years, but these last 3 games beat them all. If Tyrod IS less conservative, at last, just maybe there is a way to squeak in the playoffs just yet. Forget about the drafts. There are so many holes, no way that "tanking" is the way

Having Shady who is a strength in the pass game as well as the run. A QB that can run. And seeing such little creativity... I want Dennison out more than anything. And Castillo.

And now Peterman has been crushed. He has no credibility with his teammates anymore. Talk about an horror outcome. Wow. He was the #2 and Tyrod can get injured! It'd be Joe Webb time?

I was one of that opinion. And it was the widespread one too. The Bills were a few kicks and plays out of the playoffs with goofy Rex. Just like with Marrone they were in had they won against the Raiders. I still don't get WTH but they've fallen off a cliff. The talent pool is weak! The fact they are STILL in the playoff mix makes it even more torture. As hope doesn't die easy, and I hope they turn it around against KC!

Indeed. they got blown up time and time again since. Why???

That was part of it but the run D was stout, and the secondary was a pleasant surprise. Now the secondary have to most of the tackles against the run!! OL can't pass protect or run block. And on and on. The downfall is complete and across the board except special teams.

They have so many holes to fill it's scary! Thread title is right on cue. I still can get how they had such a great start to the year, and then get DESTROYED three games in a row!!! Has it ever happened?? Not that I remember

Forget the QB. The whole team sucks! I've never been this discouraged in the whole drought. So many holes to fill it'll make many drafts. Some of the strengths are with older players so they too will become weaknesses. This is baaaaaaaaadddddddd

Did you mention that BEFORE the game? Easy to write that now! Just read this board. Most of us agreed.

This is so awful they HAVE to put TT back for the 2nd half. But to the "losing the locker room" crowd. I still agreed with the change. The fact they are getting blown out 3 games in a row, now THAT'S a reason to lose a locker room.

He hadn't got any help... and he doesn't deliver. WTH happened to the Bills? The O-Line is really bad and no run D while it was strength. We've seen many bad streaks but this has to be the worst. It's like they've gone good to super bad since the Jets game. I just don't get what happened

Good tune up before the brutal KC crowd!

First off, I agree with switch, and hopefully Peterman pans out or this season and probably 2018 is toast. But come on. Tyrod is still a starter for half the teams. And yes, a conservative coach who has a strong defense will love a guy that doesn't throw picks!

Nothing more to add, well I like the "it takes 2" angle LOL

Well he's right. Most people suffer from the "grass is greener on the other side" except for a lots of Bills fans. It's like only this team has holes, has made bad decisions, we're doomed anyway and on and on. TBH, I'm not convinced at all the Bills will end the drought this year, but I won't be screaming about tanking and that they have no chanche, and that the two games vs the Pats are already lost and on and on. WTH is that about? And I hate the constant tanking talk. Some of the current key players are getting up there in age. As with any team, if the Bills draft well sure it might pay great dividends.. mostly in 2019 and beyond. And while that would mean some positions are greatly improved, some will regress for sure, and most will stay about the same, so it makes no sense for a coach and GM to "tank"! This move to Peterman might be a blessing, a curse, or neither, but I'm sure they did it cause they think it can improve the chance to win, not to lose the rest of the year!

Is he a starter? Hell yes in at least 15 teams. We'll see if Peterman is better, and hopefully he is, but Tyrod sure was better than any other Bills QB while he was here besides NP if he pans out. Is he a superstar? Nope. Lack of audibles, passes down the middle, lack of anticipation, not reading all the filed, etc. We all saw his limitations. But he sure had strengths too.

The comment infers that there is something uniquely negative based on skin color. This is a racist remark. There is no excuse for it. Ha come on. Besides supposing his fiance was White (and maybe he was seeing her on the phone?) you have to really interpret what is saying to find racism. Smart joke? Of course not. But damn people are waaaayyyy too sensitive these days.

Yeah that was really bad. And without motive. At least here you know that many people dislike the Cowboys and Jones, and that in any case it will draw viewers. But still. Media don't care much about ethics these days.

I just looked at the video. Wow. There is something there? Really? He just made a bad joke, and a "black girl" happened to be there hence the stupid joke. To make this an issue just shows how dumb the current PC climate is.

Man, just like you guys, I'm full of renewed enthusiasm and think he can really deliver. But I rationally know the "think" in that first sentence should be replaced by "hope". We just don't know. And our expectations and hopes are so high that the mood won't be for Peterman to develop but to be good right away. Hey, it'd be awesome if he wins right away but we have to give rookie QBs and players a chance too! Yet who wants to see this year wasted? Not me! I don't care about next year's draft if Incognito and Kyle are getting too old, if Shady slows down, etc. So many holes, the Bills have to win NOW. They will improve in some areas next year BUT also regress! No better time than NOW

Wow. That was quite emotional to watch knowing the reason. I can't believe he played that game. As for Badol... you just too dense to get it don't you? Even if all you wrote were true, there is a TIME AND SPACE for everything. Yeah humans are imperfect beings, so? What makes you the all-mighty one to **** on him in THIS thread, for that specific situation? You'd go to a funeral to mention the dead guy stole a cookie from you in high school

Some great pointers in this thread. And a good original question as I'm sure defenses want to confuse every QB, not just rookies. And if they can too cute, they can confuse themselves.

I feel exactly like you state blacklabel, but I write "feel" not "know", as obviously we're not inside the team. Anyway, let's hope it gets better from now on. Just the run defense getting back to early season form would be quite a change!
