McDermott didn't throw any season away because of blind, stupid faith in a player. The Bills started him 1 game before injuries forced them to go back to him. The Bills were going to be 2-7 no matter who they played. Anderson, Barkley, or anyone else available. The couldn't protect the quarterback. The Ravens, Chargers, Colts, Texans, and Bears all manhandled the Bills offensive line. Why are people obsessed with this Peterman guy. He wasn't responsible for their awful offense. It looked terrible under Allen and Anderson too. If Barkley had started they just would have lost those games by fewer points.
