Peterman will be starting Sunday

Perfect. Getting the future used car salesman another start will accomplish two things. First, convince the Bills further that they currently dont have a starter. Second, guarantee a loss thus improving our position in the draft which will make it easier to trade up and get a potential franchose qb.

 

I'm on this bus. We won't win out. 9-7 won't get us in. 8-8 hurts draft positioning and we need a quarterback. Denver decided to shitcan it early and get their guy. Unless we trade with the niners, we may miss out again. We have to give Peterman an extended look. I really like Rudolph so far and hope he falls to us. If not, I'm not sure who we end up with. Anyone got an opinion on the qb's  coming out.

[kota]

One can hope.  Peterman gets the ball out quick.  Needs to make better decisions.  Already ahead of Taylor as a rookie.

[jaybee]

If he plays well we'll have a bridge / backup QB to help along with whomever we draft and I do believe we'll be taking a QB in April.  Start Nate.  Tyrod hasn't progressed much and its year #3.  He could get hurt seriously too if he isnt able to get out of harms way on the bum knee. Like RG III did.  I for one DO NOT want to see that happen.

 

Go Bills.

[M. Wrotto]

I hope not, ,but we will see. I'd rather put Webb in there if Taylor is unable

Why? Do you have the Colts defense in fantasy football?

[writer21]

Maybe that muscle memory might make him get on 70 yards this week!

freezing temps...possible snow.....peterman is still raw as they come......if so than i hope they run the ball pretty much the entire day....

[Mat68]

Win out get in.  I dont think they can beat NE or win both Dolphin games.  However, peterman has done nothing to be granted playing time over a medically cleared Taylor.  Maybe a blizzard hits NE and its suddenly a defensive struggle.  Peterman played his way to the clipboard barring injury.

Inside info or just guessing? It is my guess as well but I wouldn't be surprised if they go with Tyrod either.

 

If this is who I think it is, I'm pretty sure it's inside info and he'll be right.

Not to sound rude.  

 

Don’t.

I am assuming Peterman has learned something from his start versus the Chargers.  Meanwhile, the Colts go into the game riddled with injuries in their secondary and a poor pass rush.  Everything points to a better outing if Peterman starts.

[KDIGGZ]

Yes please. Hopefully he plays well (in a close loss) and then he starts for the rest of the season. Let's see what the young man can do. If he throws 10 ints in the 1st half then who cares. Keep throwing it and figure it out as you go. That's how you get better. Can't be scared to make a mistake. Gotta let it fly

Starting Peterman against the Chargers was utterly irresponsible. I don't see how that has changed much, except that the Colts are not as good as the Chargers. 

 

the Colts do not feature a top defense like the Charges, and have QB eaters Bosa and Ingram.

If he throws 10 INTs in a half the record books will care. He already did something that no one since the merger has. If he doubles that I’d have to imagine they’d be impressed.

 

All joking aside I hope that he takes steps. He’s never going to be the guy here but may be the #2 long-term. As we’ve seen with guys like Keenum this year and Moore last year those guys can be the difference in playoffs or at home. I want to have confidence that Peterman is the guy that can hold down the fort for a month if an injury occurs.

Sweet, let's see if he learned something from his first start.

 

I wonder if teams have people in their office check out their opponents message boards for inside info before the games.

The moment Taylor was injured and left the field in the cart last Sunday I really thought would be the last time we'd see him under center for the Bills, barring an injury to Peterman.  But then McDermott said flat-out that Taylor is the starter when healthy.

 

So, despite the fact that I actually believe the OP, I'm eager to see how the hell this plays out.

 

I would say there's no way Peterman can be worse than he was in the Chargers game, but in the week leading up to the Chargers game I also said he couldn't be worse than Taylor in the Saints game.  Obvious mistake on my part.

 

Who knows.  This will be the least excited for a W I've ever been, mainly because I think we'll win and we should win easily.  I'll probably feel the same way beating the 'Phins next week if we do.

 

 

That Patriots loss just took a lot out of me.

 

Despite that, I'm rooting for Ws and, who knows, maybe I'll feel much differently come Monday

 

[Strethor]

He can't possibly play worse 

 

 

[GottaRun]

I am hoping it's one of those moments where I look back and say 'I was one of the 40K people who showed to watch Peterman's first full game in Buffalo'  and then people say 'Was that the game the Bills won 63 - 6?' and I say 'Yes.  The beginning of the new era.  Everyone says they were there, but I was.'

 

A man can dream.

[Steptide]

I actually wanna see Peterman play this Sunday. But I'm curious as to how he'll play with the weather. I coukd also see the bills dumbing down the offense if he's starting and not letting him throw that much. Lots of run run pass

[CEN-CAL17]

I really don’t want to see Tyrod any longer.

 

not that I dislike the man, just don’t want to see him anymore. He frustrates me beyond belief. 

[Coach Tuesday]

I hope he shows that he can complete a 10-yard out without contorting his entire body.  The Chargers game was terrifying and not just because of the INTs.

Peterman has already shown that Taylor will give the Bills a better shot at winning.

Sure about that?

 

56 yards passing 47-10

 

5 ints 54-24

 

65 yards passing 23-3

 

It's all the same, Taylor absolutely does not give the Bills a better chance of winning.

I’m not disagreeing, but it seemed the Chargers did a lot of contorting of his body on most of those picks. I would find it terrifying if the guy hitting me silly said “they didn’t even TRY to block me”.

I mean, if he were to start I'd want them to win and all but the beginning of a new era? does that have something to do with the stadium?

If Tyrod can play, he will. McDerm isn’t going to forfeit playoff contention intentionally. 

 

Worst half of NFL quarterbacking Ever! Just let that sink in. 

 

 

 

sunk and in the past. who's to say he has worse or better? I mean unless you're all in on taylor, which I am not, the kid really couldn't do any worse. not when speaking of how bad taylor has looked himself.

 

now, if they say he's healthy enough to go out and slip and slide in the snow while doing his evading, then he starts.

 

if not, it's who some don't want to see start.

 

either way, enjoy the game!

After the Saints game he declared Tyrod the starter. And he said "when healthy," seems to me like he's setting up Peterman to start and if he craps the bed again he can go back to Tyrod the next week. But if Peterman plays well enough I'd expect him to start the rest of the way.

I don't believe it for a minute. McD said "normally, yes, you want the guy to get reps during the week. But with Tyrod, he has had the reps and has muscle memory/ timing down with the receivers". 

Tells me TT is starting. Not that this week wouldn't "maybe" be the right time to vindicate his Charger game decision in starting Nasty Nate, but no, Tyrod and his muscle memory will start. Hear me now, discuss next week?

 

LOL, yeah right......

Playoffs were done when we lost to the Jets. Im all for seeing what we got in the Rook. Peterman has shown more potential in some preseason games than tyrod has in 2-3 years with us. We know Tyrods Top (280 yards 2 Td's and bottom 68 yards 0TD's), lets see what Peterman can do prior to next years draft and minicamps. Last time he started it was atrocious, but my gut tells me he can be good if he shakes the jitters and gets into the flow of the game. When i watched him play in preseason, he reminded me of Romo in how he played.

Doc I hope you're right. It would give me a reason to watch Sunday.

 

Told myself last week that I couldn't watch another Bills game with #5 under center. Too frustrating.

 

People can laugh at Nate but the kid kept slinging the ball and wasn't scared to let it go.

The bar is awfully low based on his first performance.. so I agree. He pretty much couldn't do any worse.
