Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Who starts? Yesterday was almost impossible to evaluate, but I would say Peterman made some decent throws. Must win game, last home game of the year. Tyrod has seen a lot more from NFL defenses and probably won’t kill us with mistakes.

Bangarang Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 You’d have to assume it will be Tyrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTheTrust Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If McD stays true to his word, it's Tyrod. Peterman didn't do enough to take the job back if both are healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I want Peterman. His two passes to Benjamin on the scoring drive before half were the best passes from a Buffalo QB in some time. He actually knows how to use the weapons we have. However, I think they will go with Tyrod. Who knows really? Difficult call for sure 3 minutes ago, ProcessTheTrust said: If McD stays true to his word, it's Tyrod. Peterman didn't do enough to take the job back if both are healthy. Tough to do as much as he did in that weather and only 10 passes. He had a better game than Tyrod did against New England.

Bing Bong Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I didn't hate Peterman last week. But the coaching staff sounds like they actually want Tyrod to start now. Pretty strange how they were so eager to bench him earlier in the year, and although Tyrod hasn't done much in games since then to hands down win the job, the opinions have been reversed. I guess the staff just sees more in practices than we do (duh!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cage Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Realistically, I think Peterman stays in the concussion protocol most of the week, which will prevent a rookie from being able to adequately prepare for a game like this. Just a question, when in concussion protocol players can't do anything, right?? They can't participate in meetings or anything?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I could see it go either way. It's a tough decision for McD, but that's what they are there for to make the tough decisions. Tyrod will protect the ball better and make more plays with his legs. Peterman is more prone to make mistakes. However Peterman will make more throws than Tyrod. I'm guessing Tyrod probably gives you a little better chance to win if the defense plays well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure it's a given if Tyrod is 100% next week. And Peterman's concussion looked really bad as far as that goes. I'm hoping they both get enough snaps early for a proper evaluation.

The Tyrod era should be over. To assume Tyrod is to assume a loss and 54 yard game by a QB playing to pad stats and stay healthy for his next team. Even at home I do not see this team winning against Miami let alone a away game in NE with Tyrod. IMO keep Peterman playing if he is healthy to do so.

Talley56 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If we are still really trying to make a push for the playoffs this year, I say Tyrod. If we are reserved to the idea that making the playoffs this year is not goal #1 then I can understand putting in Peterman the rest of the way to see what we really have with him.

BillsfanAZ Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I would say Peterman but I think they will go with Taylor. Peterman makes throws that Taylor doesnt. Peterman hit WR's in the hands which should have been caught. I think Peterman has a long ways to go but I would like to see him play more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree....when taking the totality of circumstances into effect, Peterman played admirably - although also stupidly when it comes to sliding - and showed a little life when it truly mattered. Tyrod probably gets the start because the playoffs are still on the line, but IMHO Peterman showed at least enough to give him another start.

I personally never want to see Tyrod play for us ever again. But I remain objective. Unfortunately the crazy weather and the injury took away from Peterman securing the job without question. So...with Tyrod being a game time decision, he must have been close to ready. He gets the start this week, even if Peterman is cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfod Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Peterman is a good dude but has yet to finish a game in his two starts. I would be a little hesitant to start him. Edited December 11, 2017 by Lfod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm not predicting anything with this coach. He's much too unpredictable. Before Peterman got concussed yesterday, I actually thought we had probably seen the last snap from Taylor and a Bills uniform. But now it flipped the other way and I think Taylor starts till we lose. But who the hell knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If Taylor is healthy, start Taylor but have him on a short leash. He's been awful in his last 2 home games and if it starts to look like the offense again is doing nothing....I would get Peterman warming up in the bullpen. (If he's healthy).

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 hoping to not see taylor, they need this game and taylor has sucked as of late but unfortunately peterman probably wont be cleared and they likely lose the game due to taylors incompetence under center. to answer the OP though, if both are cleared they need to start the kid. hell he had a better game up until being knocked out in a blizzard then taylor had the last two home games in good weather.
