Marty McFly Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Risky move if it backfires. He could lose the vets if petermen stinks it up. Hope this sparks the offense do life tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 and there you have it...Peterman = Eli Manning! SUPER BOWL!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadLandsMeanie Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 This year The defense has carried the team a couple of times to pull out a win. The kicking game carried the team for at least one win. The running game carried the team for at least one win. When it is the passing games "turn" to carry the team, nothing happens. We may be 5-4 but in my opinion we lose nothing by switching up because the passing game has never carried the team to a win this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Not necessarily the best example since Manning was the #1 overall draft pick that year, but certainly was a bold move since Warner was an established vet and former SB winning QB that was benched. I think a better example would be a team like the 2006 Cowboys who were 3-2 and benched Bledsoe for Tony Romo that year. In recent Bills history certainly benching Manuel in 2014 after a 2-2 start was similar as well. Either way the move had to happen and we can only hope it rejuvenates this team and we can still make a late playoff push. If not we are obviously drafting a 1st round QB next year.

If a #1 overall failed that miserably, what can we expect of a 5th rounder? I know you pointed it out, I just don't think these are similar situations.

It's about time the Bills had an actual pocket QB that teams will actually need to worry about stopping his passing. Plus Charles Clay should be back and he should help that passing offense even more. I'm excited to see what a passing QB can do with this receiving corps. Clay was on the field Sunday against the Saints. He had 2 catches for 13 yds Edited November 16, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Peterman gets a shot to upstage Eli. That likely won’t happen, but Eli’s 2004 season was garbage anyway. I assume the Bills FO knows 2017 is over looking at the upcoming schedule and wanted to go big or go Bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW95 - JA17 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 20 hours ago, Billsfan1972 said: Again Eli was going to play and Warner was only a placeholder in every possible scenario....... No comparison (after the records). What is interesting is the Bills finally have all their receivers and as a conspiracy theorist it is obvious they want to be rid of TT, Peterman is a stretch, but they have him starting in the best possible situation and probably are hoping for 6-10 and a good first round draft choice. TT with all his receivers and a win vs. LAC would have meant Peterman would have no real chance to start until December 10th (wouldn't start him on the road vs. KC or home vs. NE). He could have Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and Antonio Brown for all I care, TT would still not release the ball to a spot and/or would throw too late.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 On 11/15/2017 at 9:37 PM, BisonMan said: Kudos to The NFL Network for pointing today out that the last 5-4 team in a playoff hunt to replace their QB with a rookie was the Giants with Eli Manning replacing Kurt Warner (2004). Sure enough, they have Warner on the show to talk about it. Warner pointed out that that Giants team wasn't very good and "not a playoff team" and switching to the #1 pick at QB was an acknowledgement of the future (sound familiar?). Of course, Warner didn't point out that he was having the worst year of his career with 6 TDs, 4 INTs and a whopping 39 sacks (in 9 games!). He also had one of his lowest YPG of his career. Everyone assumed he was washed up after the 2 injury filled seasons before that. As it turns out, the offense wasn't aligned with his skills (see: Tyrod Taylor) and moving to AZ revived his career. Eli was horrible as his replacement with 6 TDs, 9 INTs and just 115 YPG. Let's hope Peterman is no Eli Manning...as a rookie. Tyrod is never going to be great. He has had all this time to improve and he is basically the same as when he started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 going to Peterman is the right move... but expect more sacks and interceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the passing game hasn't even been competent in game where the running game isn't carrying the team. Peterman will probably stink, but Tyrod hasn't been doing much anyway.

Let’s play the IF game buddy IF Nate can get the O to score every drive, matching of exceeding the opponent it won’t matter how bad the defense is Food for thought Edited November 17, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
