SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Peterman sucked but we have zero proof Taylor would have kept pace with Rivers. Not againt Brady, not against Brees and he certainly did not do it against Kellen Clemens. 6 minutes ago, Schmuggs said: Peterman had two opportunities and !@#$ed them both up. He had his chance and blew it. Two? How did Taylor get his concussion? Not protecting himself maybe? Nate had one sucky game Taylor had 2 for sure. Possibly 3. 40% of Taylors games were 16 points or less. Go ahead and trash Nate and ignore the elephant in the room.

Not trying to start an argument, but how do you come to this conclusion on his talent? He may end up being successful, but he hasn't really shown anything yet.

Perry Turtle Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 8 minutes ago, buffalo2218 said: Can't argue that if I tried. But in Taylor's benching case, taking a step back may have helped him take 2 forward. The end result speaks louder than the assumptions of the decision being a mistake. That might be true if you believe that the game results were all Taylor's fault. However, up-thread Hapless Bills Fan posts an analysis of the Bills offense against the Saints from Cover 1. They show how the scheme the Bills against the Saints cover 2 was destined to fail. There was more going wrong in that game than just Taylor. From what we've seen from McDermott, benching Taylor was out of character for him. That's why I think it was a mistake on his part; because it was out of character.

Nobody is saying that Taylor would have kept pace with Rivers. However, if the Bills could have played field position against Rivers, and forced him to go the length of the field, the Bills defense could have contained him. And Rivers is apt to make a mistake the longer the drive. The Bills excelled at turning the ball over this year. That's basically the gameplan the Bills rode to the playoffs this year. Force offenses into long drives, which result in opponent mistakes and turnovers. Peterman's 5 interceptions resulted in a pick six and 4 short fields that Rivers took advantage of. It completely knocked Buffalo out of its gameplan. That's why turnovers are WAY worse than 3 and outs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 4 hours ago, KingRex said: or so dubs ESPN PTI in their assessment of McDermott's rookie year as an HC! I have to admit, but these guys are right in their judgment. Starting a 5th round rookie QB for a team in playoff convention really does rank among one of the stupidest coaching decisions in NFL history (it was not only a bad move in terms of short-term goals of giving your team the best chance to compete this year, but it was also an unprecedented move in terms of sensible young player development). However, all is forgiven by the team making the playoffs! I'm just happy the players and Tyrod kept their eye on the prize and focused on simply winning ball games when the "process" apparently called for abandoning the QB that brung you where you are and for pursuing a player development strategy which expected a league consensus 5th round drafted rookie to lead his team to glory. In a game where self-confidence is key, I simply hope McDermoot has not ruined the seemingly talented NP by throwing him to the sharks. Nevertheless the real deal here is despite this McD/and assume Beane screw-up just win baby. Nobody's perfect and at least for a week we are cruising! The Dude barfed ? out a 56 yard performance against the Saints. I applauded McD then and I still do. Starting QBs ( Which is SOOOOO loosely used in this context) simply don’t suck at much as TT and expect any job security. As a motivator, sometimes you have to light a fire under someone’s but to get them moving. The next fire I look forward to is the “ Your Fired” when TT finally gets the boot!

BillsFan4 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Who knows, maybe if McDermott doesn't start Peterman in the Chargers game the rest of the season turns out differently and we miss the playoffs... The team was playing terrible the 2 weeks leading up to that game. They have played much better since going back to Tyrod after that Chargers game. IMO Tyrod has also been playing better since the benching. Maybe the team needed a kick in the rear. Maybe that decision saved the season. Who knows... The way I feel is that you can't just look back in hindsight and change one thing. That's not how it works. Because you don't know what type of ripple effect that change would have on a bunch of other things. I honestly don't think the Bills would have won that Chargers game with Tyrod starting anyway. The whole team played too poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, It's the "A Butterfly Flaps it's Wings in Brazil and so the Bills Get in the Playoffs" doctrine. Chaos Theory - per Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park. Dang if it don't sound ultra scientific. Put that way, it make's McDermott's moronic decision seem - well - as moronic as ever. I'm afraid lipstick will do nothing for that pig; it just keeps on oinking.....

Especially since he did play in that game, and out performed Peterman. You're just wrong, they were just wrong.

TigerJ Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think starting Peterman versus the Chargers actually sparked a modest improvement in Tyrod's play. I can't prove it any more than the other "would have been different" assertions in this thread can be proven. I don't think starting Peterman for that game has really changed anything about Peterman's future in the NFL. Should he have a career as a starter or not has not been changed by him starting a game and playing for a half. BTW, I don't think Tyrod's improvement is sufficient to get the Bills to reconsider his future with the team. I think they were planning on cutting ties with him before the Chargers game, and they still are, even being in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If we didn’t have a playoff game this weekend I’d be willing to address this topic. At the moment, I have zero desire to worry about the Peterman game. QB is a position that needs to be evaluated during the off season. We have a playoff game to win on Sunday, who cares about Peterman’s one crappy game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if McD knew all of the positives that would come out of the decision to bench Taylor for that game, but if he did that is next level coaching. Team came together, and from what I understand, rallied around Taylor AGAINST the coach and his decision making them a more cohesive bunch. Not to mention what he learned about his rookie 2 weeks after playing that dreadful half of football when he shook it off and played very good in that blizzard. The dude can flat out coach and has shown it for 8 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
