I just woke up not to long ago. Reading some Bills forums to get me pumped up. I'm proud of the team. It was a rough year but it was playoff caliber. It's at least providing evidence that the team is moving in a positive direction. It would be nice for the Bills to use that momentum swing to win today.

Do you have a Bills jersey in your heart?

I was in favor of benching Tyrod. Even though we would disagree at the time, I like the way you present your view. I think even though you thought it was premature and you were correct, that you could understand why the move was made even though you didn't like it. At least I get that impression. That's all I could ever ask for. Yes those in favor of starting Peterman at the time turned out to be wrong. I just feel people should have an understanding of why the move was made. That's the thing I think some people are missing. I just hope that people would keep an open mind and entertain the idea that it could of possibly turned out different.

I agree with you completely. I think it's exactly how it all played out. I think it will also come back to haunt them. I hope...

I'll give him credit if he throws for 3 to 4 touchdowns regardless of outcome. Not gonna give him credit for a touchdown and driving for a field goal then the offense disappears in the second half. Tyrod doing what it takes is leading the offense down field and getting 3 or 4 touchdowns. I can't expect the defense to hold Jags to 7 or 14 points if thier offense is on the football field all game. Like capitalize on turn overs. Don't just 3 and out all day if the defence is holding strong. At the very least take time off the clock and grind the game out and give the Jags less opportunity to try different things until they figure something out.

I'm still waiting on the Tyrod can song. What would you say about the Panthers game? No one ever responded to that and I've brought it up so many times. Did we even score a touchdown against the Pats? I don't hate the choice to see what we had in Tyrod. I don't hate the choice to see what we had in Peterman. I don't hate any choice anyone makes to improve the situation even if it doesn't work out. An error isn't an error until you refuse to correct it. None of you guys ever take a risk and fail? Never fell off your bike after trying to do a trick or get rejected by a girl trying to see if you can get anywhere? Everything went perfect your whole life?

It was an epic disaster of epic proportions. It was so bad it was comical. What I am saying mostly is that the season looked to be slipping away. It wasn't trending well in my view. It wasn't just the 3 game slide either. It was the Panthers game and generally the offense wasn't impressive. When the defense went away for 3 games the offense couldn't pick up the slack like the defense did for the offense in games. I mean turn overs rained and the offense was getting field goals or nothing. I think that's the part your missing. The loss of hope. The rise of doubt. Nothing was a lock anymore. It wasn't 5-2 anymore. Even when it was 5-2 I'd say a very large part was the defense. I can't credit all the wasted turn overs. I can credit them to holding teams to low scores. I don't think anyone would say your wrong that Peterman blew it. If you step back and look at the entire picture you would see the situation was getting desperate. Desperate times might call for desperate measures. Just maybe consider people were getting desperate and wanted to put hope into something new when there was doubt in the status quo. We didn't get the Peterman can song because Tyrod was balling. Heck we in the playoffs and I still don't see the Tyrod can song. Sure Peterman can't. Tyrod wasn't either. It was a battle of the worse QB and Peterman won by a solid mile. Just some of us needed to see that battle and some didn't.

The Peterman starting situation is over. It's ok to let go. It's ok for some one to have an opinion. It didn't cost the coach his job did it? It didn't cost of the playoffs did it? Almost what happened doesn't matter. I think everyone can agree after the fact that it was a bad move. I just find it very dishonest to say without a doubt that people had the crystal ball telling them about 5 picks in the future. They made a calculated risk it failed miserable. If you can't appreciate some one taking a risk to be better then that's you. That's not everybody and your not the authority on it. Your just a guy with an opinion so speaking in absolutes does nothing for your cause. The offense didn't play well. Did you watch the Panthers game? Something like 3 points on offence. The offense couldn't score one touchdown to win the game. Your ok with that and that's fine. Preach. Go fire the coach man, I believe in you. People play the lottery take and make gambles. It's only stupid if you lose but not everyone does. There are millionaires out there made with luck.

I still stay neutral on Tyrod. He can scramble for 10 yards. He can also dance around until getting sacked for 10 yards. He can make some throws and he can miss some throws. He can be exciting and boring. I give him credit, he is a class act and is a tough player. I see you guys debating and I think both sides of the Tyrod division make great points. That's why I don't take sides by find myself on both sides of the divide at times. He took a pay cut and was benched mid season. He also was the QB when the Bills made the Playoffs. That is why I stay neutral on him. People trash him to hard sometimes. People defend him to much at times. I'm critical but keep respect. All that being said the offense looked very bad this year in my opinion and all my praise goes to defense. I don't care what direction the team takes next year. Build around Tyrod or bring in some one else. Just make the offense better and less boring.

It will take people getting used to that the Bills are relevant and will be next year. Anyone want some Kool Aid I'm sipping on?

It's like asking some one about an ex girlfriend when you been broken up with her for years and your dating some one new for a few years. We will see who the hotter girl is Sunday. I hope it's the Bills.

McLegend came down from the clouds and caused it to rain after 17 years of no rain. I was thirsty and now I drink. I swim. I bathe in it.

Tyrod made some amazing throws this year. He can also pick up first downs with his legs sometimes. I only wish it was with more frequency.

At first I was really supportive. Wanted him to take it to the next level and really believed he could. This year I became skeptical of him. I doubted him. I never trashed him. Wasn't ever critical without acknowledging that he could flash greatness. I just never thought it would be enough. I wasn't always happy with him. I don't always think I'll be happy with him in the future if he sticks around but he was the quarter back to make it rain on the drought and for that I thank him. He is a Playoff QB. Now I want the bar set higher for him. You lead a team to playoffs but its time to take the next step and win the Superbowl.

Careful man he seems super edgy. Don't need to trigger a Peterman rant in his dear diary.

If you said that starting Peterman was a bad move before it happened I can respect it. A few people on this board did and they were right. I just had the impression you were after the fact with the name and all. I guess all I really wanted was an appreciation of why he made the move. That's not gonna happen. Truth is the offense was offensive mostly all year and if your the type to ride out what you have and I'm the type to tinker. I can respect we have different views.

The Panthers game was wasted as well. I got feelings too.

Well your name is PetermanThrew5Picks so I guess you holding on to that one forever.

Didn't we beat KC in the same way we beat the Colts with a Nate and Joe Webb in a tundra?

The Bengals had the lead for what most of the game? 3 points against the Panthers.

I understand the move. Dead last passing offense going into this game today. It was a calculated risk. It failed I won't argue that.

Nothing wrong with being critical of moves from a first time head coach. I wasn't exactly super confident it would turn out this way. First Coach to break the drought in 17 years has to count for something.

The end justified the means. It was a disaster I agree. I love a coach will make moves to win.

It's not how you feel about McCoach that bothers me. He wasn't perfect at his first time being a head coach. He did what Rex couldn't do with all his experience. That's kinda funny. Sure things could of ended different. They didn't. Rex gets no love over McCoach tonight.

I can't believe people bringing up Rex Ryan. That washed up coach on TV. He talked a good talk but never walked it. Then call a guy lucky for breaking a 17 year drought his first time up at bat. What am I reading.
