Foreigner Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Should the Bills miss the playoffs by one game, or by tie breakers, The Peterman Game will go down in Bills history forever, and whatever else McDermott and Peterman accomplish in the football world will be a sidelight to the Peterman Game. Off hand I can think of two other worse games, and I am talking games that were nightmares in the results. One is the Music City Miracle in which someone said recently if there was replay back then, the TD would have been overturned because it was not a lateral. The other game of course was the Scott Norwood game. I believe many people believe one SB victory is better than four SB appearances. Do you guys have any other games that are among the worst in Bills history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The game we lost to the Steelers 3rd stringers. The Mckickreturn fumble game The Cleveland Monday night game when EJ was driving and injured his knee. It felt like Trent Edwards injury. As if his potential was injured too.

He didn't refuse to play, he aggravated his injury when he caught the TD pass against Cincinatti the previous week. Like Week 2 against the jets the following year, he tried pushing through his injuries when he shouldn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hardly one of the worst. That Peterman game gets a lot of attention because of the INTs, of course, but the defense that day was historically bad. They weren't beating anyone with or without Tyrod. If you want to give McDermott the blame for fielding a defense that smelled like ass, then do so, but thinking that we would have won had Tyrod started is delusional considering how bad that defense was. I'm more pissed about the Jets game than I am the Chargers game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team doctors clearly stated that he could not further injure his boo boo foot if he chose to play and that it was a pain tolerance issue. Did you see the cute pics of him walking around London? He quit on his teammates. That's why he's not in Buffalo anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys have any other games that are among the worst in Bills history? This is absurd for a number of reasons. No loss is worse than the 4 SB games. And right after that the Music City Miracle is also significant for number of reasons, most notably since it was our last playoff game since the drought began the following season. But let's say we do finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs by one game, why should we look at just the Chargers game? The Bengals and Jets were equally horrible, especially the latter considering it's the only game the Jets have won in the last 6 games since starting 3-2. Also I think a lot of people are underestimating the Chargers especially since 4 days after the Peterman debacle they went into Dallas and made a much better QB than Tyrod Taylor look pathetic as well on Thanksgiving. And something tells me in hindsight the Peterman game won't look nearly as bad either when the Chargers win out and win the AFCW and likely make a serious playoff run. Bottom line we weren't winning that game no matter who started at QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a sad end to a great career for JK and overall run of dominance by the K-Gun era Bills but I wouldn't consider that game among the worse losses in Bills history, especially since that was the beginning of a very good Jags team that went on to multiple playoff season under Coughlin/Brunell. They also knocked off a much better team that year in Denver with John Elway the next week after beating the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either and it's a moot point but some folks will continue to insist otherwise. Chargers look to be firing on all cylinders right now and they were the last team to even keep a game with the Patriots close and hold a lead against them. Still think they are about to win out looking at their schedule which would have them winning their division in the process. So in hindsight its' not going to look nearly as bad knowing we beat every other team in the AFCW but the eventual division winner and playoff team.

BillsVet Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 After SB 25... Dallas MNF game October 2007. First time Bills were on MNF in years. Bills picked off Romo 5 times (and he fumbled once) with 2 returned for TDs. Terrence McGee returned a KO to begin the second half for a TD. Buffalo was up 24-16 late in the 4th when Romo throws a TD with 24 seconds remaining, but they miss the 2 point conversion. Cowgirls get the onside kick and kicked a 53 yard FG to win it as time expired to win it 25-24. And I got to see it in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreigner Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I am not saying we would have won with TT, but I am saying it may have been the worse decision by a NFL coach this year, and it cost the W 100%, because don't you think the defense gave up because they knew they couldn't win with Peterman, and these guys were not going to put their bodies on the line for what was happening with Peterman. The D was so much better last week with TT, who the locker room knew had a chance to win the KC game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) As far as very worst performances ever (in other words, in terms of worst performances) I would honestly have to say that the New Orleans game, this year, is about a bad a non-preseason game performance as I can ever remember a Bill squad putting on. There may have been a New England drubbing or two during the drought that I have blotted out of my mind, but that Saints game was really, really pathetic. Obviously, there have been many more losses that were more devastating in terms of their affect on a particular season, but that 2017 performance, at home, against the Saints, stunk from the opening kickoff til the very end. Embarrassing... Edited December 1, 2017 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. K Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) There have been many many worse losses by the Bills than the Peterman debut. How about the 6-3 loss to Cleveland in the snow? The 30-13 loss to the Cowboys in the Super Bowl after leading 13-6 at the half. The previous year's 52-17 loss to the Cowboys in the Bowl. The Loss to the Cowboys on Monday Night football. The collapse against the Patriots where we were ahead 21-0 and lost 49-21. The other loss to the pats when were were up by 11 with four minutes to go. In person I saw them lose to the Colts in 1971 43-0. Then a few weeks later they lost to the Colts again, 24-0 (the team was 1-13 that year). The Saints loss this season was more disgusting than the Chargers loss. You are very young, grasshopper.

section122 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We would have lost the SD game anyway?!?!?!?! I am so sick of this ridiculous EXCUSE for Peterman. Let me ask all of the experts that say we would have lost that game anyway. Did you have the Bills beating the Falcons in Atlanta? Did you have the Bills beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead? GTFO with this ridiculousness of we would have lost anyway. There is absolutely no way of knowing that and saying that is just excusing a ridiculous decision by the HC, a ridiculously bad performance by the starting qb, and the gift of 5 turnovers. Since when is a 3-6 team playing a 5-4 team a lock to win?!?!? Please stop the nonsense!!! /rant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the defense gave up because they believed they couldn't win with Peterman, what was their excuse against the Jets and Saints when Taylor was starting? Remember he was completely terrible in both games when it mattered. What about the last 2 years when Taylor has had similar performances? Just think some folks are putting too much stock on the team as a whole and some perceived loyalty to Taylor. He's long gone after this season is over and so will any vets who aren't happy with the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a few minutes earlier the Bills were on the Dallas ten with that 11 point lead. A FG essentially ices the game. What does our coaching staff — who never met a FG attempt they didn’t love — call? A pass into the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
