Green Lightning Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The loss today was not on him. WRs were MIA, Clay out early and the running game was shut down. Dennison offer no wrinkles or challenge the banged up Bengal secondary. Peterson will not do any better. Not sure at this point. TT was flat out terrible today. NP will turnover the ball more but at least he'll throw the damn ball before a receiver is wide open and jumping up and down for the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Trubisky has Chicago fans on crack just to see if they might have a franchise QB. They are giving him his 1st start on Monday night. Â The Bears also have horrid offensive weapons that the QB before him couldn't utilize. The WR's on the Bears are not good but they have been open on more than a few plays where Glennon's poor field vision has killed the offense. Â I'm pretty sure Peterman can pass for 190 and a TD right out of the gates. I'm pretty sure in the last couple years you were begging to bring Glennon in here.

Luka Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Might be a sorry looking group, but if Peterson can anticipate plays better it may help these guys out. Watching Tyrod, it makes me think he doesnt even know the routes these guys are running sometimes. Like hes just waiting for someone to break free and be completely open. That's exactly what he's looking for. He can't read a defense, he can't anticipate a throw. It has ALWAYS been this way with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I dont care at this point. Offense has been terrible. A game like today with 3 defensive turnovers and the punt returned inside the Bengals redzone our O cant settle for 16 points. Its that simple.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Switching to Peterman cant be any worse.

Scott7975 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Peterman can't run as fast as Taylor, put a slower QB behind our line and we may see manslaughter on the field. On the flipside he gets rid of the ball faster. While I don't think Peterman would play any better than Tyrod, there are pros to his play that Tyrod doesn't have. There are pros to Tyrods play that Peterman doesn't have. I'm not advocating a switch. There is a reason the coaching staff continues to say Tyrod is our starter.

fridge Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Â Not going to happen and shouldn't. Â I agree that it's never going to happen. The defense had three big turnovers and a huge punt return, and the offense just did not step up. That last series has happened way too many times with Tyrod under center. Â It's still very early, but at this point it's really just see what happens this season, then leverage our picks to try and get a franchise QB. Let him battle with Peterman in the offseason.

Perk71 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I think it would be hard for a defense not to begin to build resentment towards a quarterback like Taylor. the defense has put us in a position to be 5-0 easily I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 What I fail to understand is why Tyrod is not taking off and running more. Is he being told to stay in the pocket and go through progressions? If so thats a big fail by Dennison. Tyrods game is taking off and running when things break down. Thats when he has successWhy is it so hard to understand??I agree with Dennisn 100% , Tyrod had his ALL-STAR WR/TE healthy ready to roll , NICE WEATHER to throw the ball , on a day like today there was no reason to even try and run , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinTheMagician Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I like Peterman, but OP must be young. If you have not seen the likes of Dennis Shaw, Dan Darragh and countless others, you may not have a full appreciation of just how bad it could be. I do trust this admin to know if there is a point where it is likely Peterman can give us a better chance than TT. I don't think that is likely this year, but these guys should know if he is ready.

Thats when he has success I thought the same thing. He danced around as the middle of the pocket collapsed with Duckass in there. He had lanes to run. I'd like to see what the all 22 reveals but it seemed that TT left plays all over the field, whether it was a lane to run or an open receiver. I think he let the pressure and the rain get to him.

The Process Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Do I need to remind you who Peterman would have to be throwing to? Â Without Charles Clay, he would be throwing to the worst group of receivers in the NFL. Â Is it even fair to evaluate any QB in that situation? Â Need I remind you this is a team sport? Â Most good QBs in the NFL have a solid group of receivers and/or a dominant receiver (AJ Green) that can make 2 plays that will decide a game. Â Sammy Watkins was finally healthy this season and Tyrod could have finally had a premium receiver that he could depend on being in the lineup every week. Â But the Bills got rid of that for what looks like a very low first 2nd round pick.... because the LA RAms are playoff bound (and the Chiefs are the best team in the NFL too) Peterman would be throwing to the worst receivers in the NFL who are often open on replays from higher angles!

Boatdrinks Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) It's no different now than at the start of the season. The HC won't go with a rookie unless there is an injury to TT or the record means the playoffs are essentially an impossibility.

Great so we throw in Big Ben who threw over 300 yards and walked away with 9 points getting killed by the Jags. Obviously Big Ben is leagues better than Tyrod is. My point is that yards don't mean jack. There are a lot worse QBs out there. Yes it can get worse. Jeff Tuel started a football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 At the end of the day Taylor simply isn't a fit for this offense and what Dennison/McD are trying to do. Â They have been fortunate to win with smoke and mirrors so far and I certainly don't blame Taylor for the injuries that are piling up right on cue this time of year in Buffalo, but at the end of the day you have to give your offensive skill players a chance and Taylor doesn't do that. Â The book is out on this offense and the days of seeing McCoy and the running game go for 150+ a week are long over and not coming back until we can prove we can get the ball downfield and find guys in the middle open. Â And once again Taylor proved he can't lead a 4th quarter comeback and turned the ball over the first chance he's actually taken in weeks. It's time for a change and both fans and the Bills organization is kidding themselves if they believe otherwise. I do not like Tyrod as a player. I think he is severely limited in his passing ability, doesn't settle in the pocket and is way too tentative in throwing the ball. Â That said, he is the best option we have on the roster right now. Peterman, a rookie who looked "ok" against 2nd team, 3rd team and fodder players in the preseason is not going to fare well.Some want to say...well Dak did it...but really it's no true comparison. Dak DOMINATED those low roster players whereas Peterman just looked "ok". Â If we had a back up that had some experience I would fully endorse a switch. But putting a green rookie behind that line, with those receivers, with the running game getting stuffed and the play calling being iffy at best is a quick way to not win again this year.

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 You'd think we were 1-4.... Taylor did not play well but that doesn't warrant the hook. Whatever our record is, none of the wins are because the offense played well... Â Im not on this thread to see or ask for a change at QB, but a change being needed is a fact that can't be denied. Â Change #1 - Fix the damn run game. I'm not a coach nor do i get paid to be one, but the ones who are getting paid and receive a paycheck from the Pegulas need to fix the run game. Â Change #2 - Refer to change 1 Â It sucks that Tyrod never comes even close to throwing for 300 yards and rarely throws over 200, but the coaches aren't going to make a change at QB unless Tyrod has an injury, so we need to fix the issues he has (holding on to the ball and looking to scramble right away) and just move on. Â O-line is horrible... I pray the coaches will move Dawkins to the right side if and when Cordy Glenn gets plugged back in at LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Tyrod is not a real NFL QB but at least he has the ability to scramble and make plays when there aren't any. Peterman would get killed. There was literally nobody to throw to on some plays. Zay Jones has bust written all over him. Klay shouldn't even be on a roster. Their best receiver was Tate who is a return specialist.

Bakin Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Â He's not played well for most of the season and without the defense playing over their heads we are probably 1-4 right now. Â Taylor is a finished product and will be the reason this team doesn't make the playoffs assuming the defense keeps up but don't think that happens either because despite the turnovers they were lit up today. Taylor has played well. No big mistakes. He's playing better than he should be - today we saw some extra wrinkles but he was without his top 2 receiving targets. Plus he had Vlad Ducasse on his line. Ducasse!! Â I love how so many of you plan for the SUper Bowl after wins - and plan to kill yourselves after a loss. It's pure comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
