lifefan Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) I think that the original plan with McDermott and Beane was to build for the future; not looking to just make the playoffs and lose in the 1st round, but to plan to make and do damage in the playoffs further down the road. The Bills quick start threw a monkey wrench into that plan and McDermott, being a new HC and not wanting to lose the veterans, started preaching winning both now and later. The last three games brought everything back to reality and back to the original long term vision, hence starting Peterman. Only giving him a few days to prepare for his 1st NFL start wasn't fair to Peterman, if he is seen as a quick fix. I think McDermott thought he would play much better and could afford to stick with him. Now he has to come out on one side or the other; either try to win now with Taylor, or plan for the future and go with a rookie QB. He's in a very tough spot now.

vorpma Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 TBD is really depressing me, what happened to the knowledgeable Bills Fans that use to post! Most of the posts over the last week have been incredibly naive and ignorant! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McD and Beane traded them collectively for a 6th rd pick. It's ok, though, because they've assured us there will be no drop off in quality, and that they did this with an eye toward both the current and future betterment of the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of thinking going on at the wall lately. Don't hurt yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think also not giving him a right side of the line wasn't very much fair either. I honestly think they were trying their best to win now which is why they resigned Taylor. No other reason to do that, they could have just started Yates till they threw Peterman in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEN-CAL17 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) I had no expectations this year. Bills got to 5-2 and fans thought differently I guess. This team has zero depth, no nickel CB, LBs who can’t cover, right side of the line is garbage, Glenn can’t play, Rookie LT, DTs are weak, pass rush is not stout enough. Tyrod is not good. But cap wise we are much better to build. Fans shouldn’t expect much next year either, the record may be worse. But I feel after the next 2 drafts, next 2 FreeAgency periods and next 2 offseasons this team will start to turn heads. All depends on the QB position. I look at Wentz and Jared Goff. Buffalo with or without Tyrod starting is gonna finish 7-9 at best... Edited November 21, 2017 by 1ZAYDAY1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
