Tyrod is starting, so the Chargers will stack the box and take McCoy out. We will punt on almost every possession and get embarrassed in front of the 238 people in the stands.

It’s not to late to grow a pair of stones and name Peterman the starter. Give the fans something to actually look forward to and maybe save the season. Start Peterman or watch 5-2 go to 5-7. Tyrod has been figured out. 

 

I share your pain amd agree 100%, but McDermott won't make the switch until it's too late.  

 

Right now, Sean's going to be defensive, feeling like the fans and media think they know better than he, the head coach.  If McDermott is to bench Taylor, his ego won't allow the decision to be made under pressure from outsiders. It has to be of his own "perceived" volition.

 

So expect it to happen 3 weeks too late, after 5 straight losses and our playoff hopes dashed.

 

Then we'll hear Sean rattle off the standard, "I did what was in the best interest of the team" "Tyrod gave us the best chance to win" b.s.

 

On a side note, who here thinks Belichick WOULDN'T make the switch after Tyrod's last 2 outings?

What a bunch of nonsense thinking the coach is factoring fan sentiment in his decision making process.  It's laughable.

My point was that, McDermott will be hearing it from EVERYONE and his ego will not allow him to make the necessary change.

 

Really not that hard to comprehend.

 

It's easy to comprehend and it doesn't mean anything because coaches don't give a crap about what fans think should happen so his ego has nothing to do with that.

He doesn't have to care what we think.  We're right, he (so far) is wrong.  He'll reach that conclusion in due time.

Lets be real, Belichick would not have benched Bledsoe for Brady if Bledsoe was healthy.  By the time Bledsoe was Brady was showing his skill and Belickick has no choice.  I do not blame McD for sticking with Tyrod.  It is what coaches do and do anything less would hurt his credibility with the team.  But to be stubborn about it would be wrong too.  I would think he keeps Tyrod on a short leash Sunday.  If the Bills cannot get the offense moving after at least the 1st quarter, I would expect him to insert Peterman for a series or two.  If he does well, you keep him going.  If he gets the game result, you pull him out and put Tyrod back in.  Peterman gets valuable experience without throwing him to the wolves; and Tyrod gets some time on the bench to hopefully smolder.  I said this in another post, if the Bills lose and go to 5-5 any dreams of the playoffs are going to be figuratively lost.  They traded for Benjamin, they gave the signal they want to win now.  McD shuffles in players all game without regard to "starters"; why shouldn't he hold the same philosophy for the QB?

Because he doesn't want to follow the example of the Cleveland Clowns.

3-6 and no Rivers more than likely. But who knows. This the game for the season.

 

IKR. Looking at their record, and without Rivers, we're lucky to be in this position to win this game. Yet, it won't be an easy game. The rest of the team is legit. And they were rounding into form. They played Jags tough man. They almost won if not for that stupid pick by Rivers.

i'm usually quite the optimist but if you look back on the last 2 games its no far fetched to think we still get handled even with clemons trotting out for them. they can pressure the qb and have 2 very capable dual threats at rb. a solid recipe for the loss right there.

I agree. Only two reasons why we might have a chance - the drubbing we took last sunday SHOULD bring out the best in players and coaches, and Rivers not playing. Clemons is a dinker and we'll take that all day.

True, but they have no home field edge. There could be more Bills fans there.

I don't disagree but he honestly may not have to throw more than 10-15 balls. I don't think I've ever seen such a horrid 2 game stretch in run defense.
