Billsfan1972 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Or does the Bills front office not care about the playoffs? I am not a Tyrod fan. I am more one who has questioned the FO, coaching, OC and play calling (check my threads & posts). Very simply I thought the FO was while not tanking the season, were more then content if they did go 4-12. The great start changed the narrative, but many still liked the talk about McDermott, discipline and their type of player. So now 5-4 and the playoffs on the line with the one winnable game prior to week 14 and they bench Tyrod???? Again if he went out and stunk up the joint vs. LAC you have an easier time convincing the team, fans & national media and still have 6 weeks to audition Peterman, but to do it this week defies logic. I know there is a large segment here chomping at the bit, praying for a good game from Peterman and to be cackling and beating their chests Sunday night, but again why didn't they play this week out?

Bangarang Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Maybe, just maybe McD wants to try and salvage the good start and make the playoffs? It’s easy to play it safe and stick with Tyrod but I don’t think he’s that good and our chances of making the playoffs with him aren’t significantly greater than with Peterman. It’s all a moot point anyway if the defense doesn’t get it together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Because, for the second time TT has been benched when the regime decided he wasn’t the guy. The Playoffs were a pipe dream before the season started and still are. The prudent move is to see what your semi promising backup has and set yourself up for next season. This Defense looks shot also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Maybe because the coaching staff feels Peterman may give them a better chance to win football games. If that's the case then "rushing" is appropriate because we cant afford to lose games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week and little debate, but like it or not they are in the playoffs and are now starting a rookie fifth round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Probably because any QB who cannot function or throw into windows available when a team drops 8 into coverage and keeps him in the pocket isn't going to be successful for much longer... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a spent sixth round pick who can’t play the position. I trust McD and Dennison( and my own eyes) to think NP offers as good a chance or better to win this game.

The Now Moment Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Tyrod hasn't run this offense the way it's supposed to be run all year even dating back to the offseason. Quick reads and passes in windows are a must in this scheme...he just doesn't fit. Why see the same bad movie over and over?

nedboy7 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 How are the playoffs a pipe dream when we are in the wild card spot now. Such loser thinking. What a great fan base. Just accepting crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfod Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) It is a calculated risk. I don't think this was just audition for Nate or I think they would of waited like you suggested they do. They made the move because they think Nate is the best choice moving forward to win this next game. Saying it's a calculated risk is respectable because it's admitting it is a risk even if it was well thought over move.

Wayne Cubed Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 The rush, I believe, is because McDermott thinks he is saving the season by going to Peterman He thinks he can win with Peterman. He thinks he can play better than Taylor. Whether he's right or wrong we shall find out tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod had a couple good games this year, but he hasn't been all that good. 9 games in and Tyrod still has not scored a TD in the first quarter. When you have games of 56 yards and or games where you only score 3 points... its not good enough. I think Peterman can get 56 yards and score 3 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 No I team has ever thrown a rookie into a must win game with the playoffs on the line..... Closest was RJ vs. Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I could see benching Tyrod at 5-5 but not at 5-4, I think he was a week early, maybe even two weeks early, it's a mind boggling move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Bills were winning and I complained about the bad play calling on O and lack of yards I was called names too..... Let me guess.... Bills win 9-6 and Peterman throws for 100 yards and he is called a winner. Edited November 18, 2017 by Billsfan1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
