He knew that Allen was his future starter and he needed to find out if Peterman could handle live bullets and be a capable back-up moving forward. It was a pass/fail test.
Peterman's shot was his last. That's why they started him. They KNOW Allen is the #1. They were evaluating Peterman to see if he has any value at all. It's only a matter of time before he's replaced.
Because he "earned it" My guess is McBeane already had Josh's backup on his radar and this game 1 audition was Peterman's last chance to prove he could play under "live" fire. They intended for Allen to start very early in the season when they traded McCarron. Watch them sign Paxton Lynch.
Remember the Super Bowl years when the Bills would go 0-4 in the preseason....? Did you ever consider that we are going unleash HELL on opening day of the Regular Season?
The whole premise of cheerleaders is so wrong. Objectification of either sex is so wrong but for a business to promote this is criminal. Let's hope that in our lifetime we can end this nonsense.
There is no QB throwing threat. Teams are going to play us to run, including Tyrod. The only way Tyrod hurts the other team is with his legs. He is no QB.
