You already told the world you don't think Taylor is good enough. You went to a guy, it backfired, but now you are going to say the guy you benched is now your best player. Taylor is the best QB on the team period. Play to win. That's the job of the HC. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Safe to say McDermott checked down on the QB decision and played it safe. As expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's some truth in that, but I think some of the blame falls on McD and Dennison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I hope Tyrod takes this like Alex Smith does (with Mahomes waiting in the wings) and starts being a bit less conservative and looking down field more.

He'd be facing a player revolt if he started Peterman. If you were to believe a lot of the media in town, most players were on board with replacing Tyrod initially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davspo Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Does it matter. The team has a lot of needs but one thing is for sure, without a quarterback you cannot win in this league. I think they need to do whatever they can to draft the best possible qb this year. They have a lot of draft capital and they need to bit the bullet and spend what needs to be spent on a qb. They may never have this much capital again, and a qb takes time to develop. Start with that piece and do what you can with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly it. People were complaining about TT and rightfully so against the Saints as he was awful, but the defence is by far the biggest issue on this team right now. 1 punt in 2 games they have forced, including when teams were literally just trying to run it in the 4th quarters of those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Anyone else think that Taylor seemed to have a little fire lit underneath him when he came in to replace Peterman? Felt like I saw some extra zip on a couple throws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbojanglezs Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 OK, whatever. Peterman will be back in after we lose the next two weeks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Maybe the upshot if all this will be that Tyrod will start slinging it and see what happens. He should be ecouraged to pass for 300 and a 1/1 TD/int ratio instead of 179 and a 4/1 ratio. Then, this benching experiment will have had some value.

McBean Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 We lose to KC Sunday you start Peterman rest of the way. McDermott did this just to satisfy the vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again, this is unsurprising. Coaching to keep the rabble happy. I would argue that was the situation last week. looking at the overwhelming amount of people on this board who voted for the initial change and were ultimately horribly wrong. and also judging by the idiots that I was surrounded by at the saints game that were yelling for Peterman has our offensive line couldn't block for Tolbert on a 3rd and one. I cant think of more rabbling than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Imo neither of these QBs give the Bills a good chance to win given the state of the rest of the team, and the schedule ahead the next 2 weeks. But throwing NP to the wolves in Arrowhead after what happened last week isn’t prudent for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Only decision. From the outside looking in I believe that the change to Peterman was Dennison's Idea. He couldnt sleep after the NO game. So he is obviously nervous for his job so instead of building a playbook that works for his players he wants to go to his bread and butter not the teams. Peterman would allow him to run Kubiak's offense the last 2 years that Denver has utilized. It made Seimian look pretty good for awhile he can do the same with Peterman and save his job. Taylor gives the Bills the best chance to win. The benefit of having taylor you have an above replacement placement player under center. If someone came along and beat out Taylor the player would need to be the next teir above him. Whoever did the evaluation of Peterman and determined he was the best Qb should be fired. In hindsight I could see the switch as message to the team and to Taylor that the whole team and unit as a player is not good enough. He played poor enough the last to weeks that if we are just going to throw in the towel we will play the rookie. Im leaning towards it started out as Dennison decision and now Mcdermott internally will spin it as a move to try to get move out of Taylor and the offense.

TaskerTough Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 He flatly denied answering what he learned from starting Peterman. He also refused to explain why starting Tyrod is "good for the team now". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
