Didn't the announcers tell you that McD wanted to see whether or not Peterman could elevate the 3rd string players to a level above themselves before Peterman was on the field.? If you knew anything about football you would know that coaches rely on leaders that can " rally the troops " as they say.
I agreed that was the only thing they could learn from him playing with the 3s. I was disagreeing with that being the reason he was playing with them instead of it being the only space left after AJ got the 1s and Allen the 2s.

Nathan Peterman took the initial snap of individual drills in Bills practice Sunday, followed by Josh Allen. Reporters cannot watch 11-on-11 drills starting Sunday, but it is logical to assume Peterman will continue to lead the first-team offense for at least part of practice. AJ McCarron (right shoulder) is not practicing Sunday, along with DT Kyle Williams (knee).
There is an interview with Micah Hyde where he talks about Allen playing with the 1s today as well.

Read slower. You'll get it.
I suppose I was having trouble understanding your wild assumption. I mean you came up with a reason why he was with the 3s but it didn't really make a lot of sense. From what I've been seeing the contest between AJ and Peterman was pretty neck and neck and it was AJ's turn in game 2. So that left the 2s and 3s but Allen had done well and people wanted to see him with and against better players so he got the 2s. That left the 3s for Peterman which seeing if he could elevate them any is about all you could look for with them.

1:27 Tells me all I need to know about McDermott's thought process. "He made the guys around him better". Before the game he said he wanted to see if Nate could elevate the guys around him. The fact that NP came in with he 3rd unit in the second Half told me it was likely he was trying to cement his choice about who should be #1 by seeing if NP could command a bunch of guys that wouldn't be on the team. McCarron and Josh Allen were auditioning for #2 unless NP fell apart.
what?

It wasn’t Tasker. The game announcers were not the local Bills announcers.
My post want about any blind support of Nate. More to the issue of people no longer giving the kid any credit.
I thought there were different announcers depending on where you watched it.

Could just be his day though with only two of them it's probably far easier to split the reps.

They had NOTHING to say about his performance in their article about the Browns game. In fact they warped reality to make it sound like McCarron and Peterman both did as well as Allen.
PFF lost all credibility with me today - it's OK to guess wrong (and who knows - they may still be right about him) but it's absolutely NOT OK to warp your news articles to conform to your narrative.
I guess they thought they had it covered saying how well he handed the ball off.

Seems like we're not going to know **** till next Sunday.

So about 15 min. then?

I really think Allen has done enough to have his shot with the 1s in game 3. If he keeps doing what he's been doing getting better each time it's going to be awfully hard to keep him from starting on day 1.

The offensive line took a hit in the off-season. Will that impact the decision as to who will start at quarterback in Week 1?
BEANE: “No. The line is its own entity. And again, we’ve got to put the best quarterback out there who helps us win each week. That will be our motto throughout the year. Hopefully the starter we pick for Week 1 starts throughout the year and does a great job, stays healthy and we don’t have to switch. But, you know, obviously things can change so we’ll take it a week at a time.”
Bills GM: First preseason game could be pivotal for rookie QB Josh Allen
-
Allen had points scored on every drive. To say Peterman did better than Allen because he had bigger numbers when he was in twice as long and struggled frequently is a bit of a stretch.

Look at his first throw against the browns. That was a mis fire. First thrown against the panthers was out of bounds. There are others. He still needs work on mechanics.
One day he'll have a preseason game with a 100% completion percentage. Only then can we consider starting him however many years that takes.

I mean yeah it saved his life but it ruined his suicide.

It still makes sense to bring him along slowly. He hasn't faced a game planning DC when games count yet. He's steadily improving. Let him develop.
and how is he to experience that if he doesn't start?

Just as you've cemented the fact that you're quick to make the snarky comment.
Allen is the subject in that discussion, not Peterman.
I don't it was pretty confusing looking.

So I guess they’re not too worried about those tweets from when he was 15 years old.
Nope

b-b-but what if he breaks then we'd have to put Peterman in. So we'd better keep him safe and not start him so we'll start Peterman.

I don’t disagree - I just think if we are being asked if they should start him because he gives him the best chance to win or wait until he is ready - that could be 2 different times. Much like Watson/Savage - Watson gave them the best chance (seen throughout the pre-season), but he was not really ready to start as seen by some of his mistakes once he started playing.
I think getting him in - even if he is not totally ready still gives him the best chance to learn and grow, but you need to accept he is going to make mistakes and maybe cost us a game here or there.
I don't know if there is a way to avoid Allen making rookie mistakes it's just going to happen as he gets used to the next level.

Peterman did a very nice job of bringing the Bills back after they fell behind. Peterman missed his first two passes and then completed 8-of-8 for 113 yards and a 35-yard touchdown to Nick O’Leary.
He failed to mention that he got the lead back after losing it.

I think it's Allen, it kind of feels like it did this last week where he did well in the 1st ps game but people wanted to see him with better players around him. Then they moved him up to the 2s in practice and that's what he got in the game. This time he did really well and people think he should get a shot with the ones. I know game 3 is usually the dress rehearsal but it's not like that's etched in stone.
-
It's extremely unlikely even if Allen becomes as great as he could be. But it sure would be one hell of a story.

85% through 2 games, kid. straight facts. Outperformed Allen significantly both games on every stat that exists. /thread.
I could of sworn he led the offense to half as many points in almost twice the time?

And Allen flinging the ball up in the air last week while getting tackled was every bit as bad. That was "almost a pick six" too. What's your point?
Allen did that on first down? I could of sworn it was 4th down.

Trouble with rating QBs is that it takes a team so a great QB might never win a super bowl while an average one with an incredible team might have several.
