Keep Tyrod as the starter is even more comical, get ready for 3 blowouts in a row.

Not sure why some people are obsessed with tyrod being the qb, he has had 2 and a half years to prove himself and he has shown clearly that he is not a starting caliber qb. At this point a switch to peterman couldnt possibly have worse results.

 

To the op, tyrod is staying in the pocket because the defenses are forces him to cause they know thats all they have to do to beat him. And how is tyrods deep throw one of his best attributes, i cant remember the last time he threw an accurate one.  Everyone is out of bounds or way overthrown. His deep throws havent been good since his first year throwing to sammy.

The reality of the situation is that the Bills beat the 4-5 Jets once at home. They beat the 3-6 Denver Broncos at home.They beat the 5-4 Falcons on the road! They beat the 3-6 Tampa Bay Bucs at home. They beat the 3-6 Raiders at home.

 

Looking back at who the Bills beat this season is that they had only one impressive win on the road in Atlanta against a team that had just lost it's starting WR's in Julio Jones, Mohamad Sanu to injuries in the second half. The three turnovers helped.

 

Out of the next 7 games, 4 are on the road. Two are against the 7-2 Patriots. Two are against the 4-5 Dolphins. The 3-6 Chargers on the road. the 3-7 Colts at home and finally the 6-3 Chiefs on the road. So, the Bills maybe beat the Chargers, Colts, and Dolphins once. Looks like 8-8... maybe! The reality is that this is a bad team that got a bunch of turnovers the first few games.

 

Tyrod Taylor stinks and is not the answer at QB. Is Peterman? I suspect that the team might not even be able to draft one of those top QB's as they will be more worried about bolstering the defense after watching that game against the Saints! 

 

The Bills need to overhaul and upgrade most of their offensive line due to age and injuries. Glenn is not a pro bowl LT and shouldn't be paid like one at 12 mill per. LG Incognito is an 11-year vet that is worth more than he is getting. Wood is a 9-year vet and the highest paid center in the NFL. Is he playing like the best center in the league? The right side is a joke with players who wouldn't even be a backup player on a good team.

 

The defense needs a lot of help at a lot of positions after watching the Saints rush for 20 rushing first downs, 298 rushing yards on 48 attempts a 6.3 YPC average! Who needs QB Drew Brees when you can run the ball like that?

Start Peterman? The notion is comical.

What was comical is Tyrod Taylors stats for that game against the Saints! He played 3 quarters of football and went 9 of 18 for 56 yards, one INT, 2 sacks with a rating of 33.6! 

 

A comicical tragedy is what it was. The NFL is a performance-based sport and after that performance, he should be benched!  Taylor is not that answer at QB and the Bills need to see what they have in Peterman before next years draft. That is if they aren't too busy drafting for the defense after that pathetic performance against the Saints. I can only think that with the next 7 games those teams can't wait to play a falling apart Buffalo team.

A few things are fixable. Penalties on third down extended NO's first drive one by offsides, one by personal foul.

 

After being on the field for 10 plays and 5 minutes, the offense helped them get some rest with a three and out. This trend continued through three quarters, 55 snaps for the defense and 29 for the offense (9 on the first series). One would imagine that contributed to the drive with 7 consecutive runs of more than 5 yards in the third quarter.

How can the offense help? All 9 of Tyrod's completions were for less the 10 yards, a couple for zero yards. Twice short runs that could have moved the chains and kept defense off the field went for no yards and passes short of the sticks with 8 men near the line will not work. Not suggesting any of this equals a victory but it might have slowed the bleeding.

Simple fix....go get an NFL caliber starting Quarterback!  The Bills have surrounded TT with what have to be the tallest WR/TE Group in the entire league and he still will not throw them ball. This is a playoff team with even a middle level QB. (They won't get to the Super Bowl, but they'd at least get in the dance.)
