PlayoffsPlease Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The Bills have a history of making moves that in hindsight look like they were made to keep fans interested more than because they were the best strategy for team (it would be nice if those two things always overlapped)> i think this is a football move. As a fan it will definitely get me to watch next weeks game, and not turn it off if turns into another debacle. So its good for that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I think this regime cares more about football than marketing. Otherwise the trades of Watkins or Darby don't happen. Toss in we were all set to pursue Bobby Hoyer if Tyrod didn't work out a new contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfanAZ Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Why is marketing even being brought up? The Bills offense is putrid. Something needs to change and it has. Will it work?

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I say it's a tactic. Peterman will "start", ala Matt Cassel against the Colts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) I want to and have to say Football move. Now is the time to see Who Nate is. Can he lead the team to 4-3 record or better going forward Will they need to draft a QB in '18 Edited November 15, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Football decision. McDermott appears to realize Tyrod was never going to get it done in this offensive scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Football. No way does McD make this move otherwise. He saw that Taylor still wasn’t getting the ball out like he needs to and I’m sure he got a feel for how the move would be perceived in the locker room. I’m sure the other players know where they stand with Taylor on the field and that’s they’re either neutral or positive about the change. At minimum Peterman will execute the offense in the fashion it needs to be. Even if he’s not at the level you’d want (and he could be) you’re at least helping the other offensive players learn the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 A marketing move is sending ST holders a pic of Moorman punting out of the end zone. Not a QB change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jethro_tull Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Football Move- Peterman: Better system player. Better accuracy Pressing the big reset button on the season Igniting a spark of hope for the team and the defense. If the team believes this is the right move- look for them to respond in big way!

It may blow up in their face, but we won't know until we try. TT has proven he is not "The Guy" time and time again. It's time to see what Peterman has. He's not as mobile but he seemed to be willing to actually throw the ball without the receiver being "wide open".

I want the Bills to make the playoffs but I would be ok if this decision blows up in their face because the plus side would be higher draft picks. I like that the coaches are taking chances to make something happen. Peterman may get picked off more but he will also complete some passes that Taylor would never take a chance throwing. I would rather lose fighting and trying than cowering while playing it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The best marketing move is to win games. You win games by making good football decisions. Therefore, it was both a football decision and a marketing move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since I didn't think they would even be sniffing a wildcard spot and you're probably right. He will most likely get picked off more but at least he's throwing it.

Southern Bills Fan Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This was always supposed to be a rebuilding year. Now we will find out if we need to spend all our draft capital moving up for a QB or surrounding Peterman with talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing about this move honestly is if Peterman fails which I don't think he will we can finally chose a qb early in the draft. No more giving the backup last 2 games when we are out of playoff race, then running with him or selling him to the fans the next season. These last 2 games Tyrod didn't even try to win the game and he has had a couple of bad games. He is what he is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCletus Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I think this is strictly a football decision- this team hasn’t produced recently, and a lot of that came from the QB position. It also shows the rest of the team that if they don’t step up and play well, no job is safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Wow...its like every poster here wants to get their own Peterman thread going. But to answer your question, its clearly a football decision. You dont make marketing decisions on the field when you are 5-4 in a year where 9 wins can possibly break a 17 year old playoff draught. A winning season at 9 wins that misses the playoffs would also give more marketing value going into next year than throwing a 5th round rookie out there. This is 100% a football decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
