CommonCents Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I love it. Tough matchup with the SD secondary but I'm now excited for the game. I wasn't looking forward to seeing Ingram and Bosa chasing around a headless chicken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wouldn’t have waited until they were out of the playoff discussion (maybe 2 more weeks). I hope that they are right. Why wait until we are out of the playoffs to make a change? I dont get that line of thought. The last two weeks were pretty clear we were not getting there with TT, so why wait until we are out of the playoffs when we still have a chance to make them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I honestly think this gives us the best chance to win. Defenses have figured out how to stop Tyrod. Peterman is smart and get the ball out quick. Hopefully we can watch a game without 3 and outs on Sunday for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wouldn’t have waited until they were out of the playoff discussion (maybe 2 more weeks). I hope that they are right. I think they know that they will see more of what they saw the last 2 weeks because the LAC D-Line is ridiculous. This is one way to keep the pass rush at bay - get the ball out fast. Whether he succeeds or not i don’t know. But TT holds onto the ball so long, he would be eaten alive by Bosa/Ingram. I guess they think this gives them a chance. But it Tyrod is a captain so this is huge I think from a “process” perspective. Edited November 15, 2017 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not give us false hope with a mediocre back up. With TT you will be elemimated. If you believe hes a starter in this league I have some ocean front property in Utah to sell ya. If you were at any of the games this year you should clearly see how many receivers are open that he doesnt see and how his accuracy is pure garbage- see 87 when he broke his thumb as one example of many.

If Peterman plays due to injury or if the Bilsl are out of it then you can bring in a rookie and still go back to you vet as starter later - this is neither situation. This is a MAJOR decision.....

Its possible that hes somewhere in-between, but I just don't think the guy has the arm for the NFL and that's why he sat til the late rounds like he did.

T-Bomb Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I think because this is the Bills, this will end very badly. However, they need to be drafting a QB in 2018 anyways, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Bottom line is a quarterback cant throw for 56 yards in a game and keep his job. Much rather have someone go down firing than to be completely inept. We were basically playing without a quarterback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 3 minutes ago, Bray Wyatt said: They were playing that D for Tyrod too in the second half and he still couldnt move the ball Were they? That's pretty miserable, then. After their first two drives in the 3rd quarter I had to turn it off. Went to the mall instead, which is usually pretty slow on a football Sunday afternoon, but it seems many fans had the same idea because it was pretty packed and there were people in Bills gear everywhere haha. I applaud McD for having the nads to make the switch. I've liked Tyrod since he became the starter but I know he's hit his ceiling. He can make some "wow" plays happen a few times a game, his escapability is second to none but they can't rely on him to do that every play. They know they need him to be able to stay in the pocket and make quick decisions and quick throws. Unfortunately his height is a main factor in his issues. He simply can't see the field well and unlike Brees and Wilson, he's hesitant to zip the ball through tight windows, which is how those guys have been so successful. They must have really been seeing some good things in practice from him. In the camp practices I watched and the pre-season games, it's looked to me like Peterman has a bit of a quicker release and it seems like he throws with more anticipation. If you watch them run drills where they're practicing dropbacks simultaneously you'll see Peterman is usually first to get rid of the ball. Not by a ton, but it's noticeable. Maybe they've seen him throw guys open in practice and that's something Tyrod just doesn't do often enough. He has to see his man open before throwing it. And week after week I watch clips of the coaches film and there are always several plays where he does have receivers open in a tight window where he'd have to drop the ball over the CB but in front of the safety. He's done it before, so he's capable, he just doesn't do it consistently enough. Either way, I'm intrigued. They better double team Bosa or it's gonna be a really crappy debut for Peterman.

Either way is a win IMO. Not going anywhere with Taylor. Cutting him could allow us to sign Matthews as well. Sadly these are the best, but not the only options for the Bills. I believe the most likely is that the Bills win a few more games and end up 7-9, this cementing our place in the middle of the pack for the upteenth year in a row.....

NewEraBills Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Taylor got figured out by the Panthers. It wasn't the Jets game that did Taylor in. The Panthers di the rush 5 and keep him in the pocket first. In every game this happened the offense was straight trash. Panthers, Jets, Saints. We're lucky others didn't take note or else we'd probably be sitting in a worse place record wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 These guys have guts. Instead of doing the coach-y thing and appease the lockerroom and the player, McD pulled the cord properly and made the right decision. Knowing the massive limitations of TT to beat defense himself and what that would mean the rest of the way, he went with a move that better suits the future. Not saying by any stretch that NP is the guy, but this allows them to assess him, in a pressure situation, and give them some indication of how they will address the position in spring 2018. If he performs and gets better week to week, they can draft one a little later. If he bombs, one a little earlier. Most critically, it seals the fate of TT here as they've made it clear they can't win with him. Best move this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one thing I can guarantee. Peterman will throw more than 56 yards. Even if the Peterman move doesn't work out, it at least shows me that our head coach isn't stubborn and is willing to make changes in ANY position who he feels is underperforming. I respect the move McDermott. You have gained my respect once more. Yup, probably in the first half, first quarter even...... He may even break 100. Honestly though I have new optimism. It may blow up in our faces, but we are Bills fans and the unknown is generally all the excitement we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This is getting absolutely crushed by the national media. Similar to when Rex canned the OC last year after his defense got lit up.
