5 Interception games... fun fact

At least 2 of the INTs were on Bills receivers making two boneheaded plays.

 

The FB who had the ball bounce of his head and into the arms of a Charger should have an INT on his stat sheet. Pretty sure Zay dropped one as well that resulted in a pick. 

 

Yes - Peterman had a horrible game, but if you take his INTs in context I do not think the game was all time bad like many believe.

 

 

Really?  Which is the second? 

 

In the first, the ball did go off the receiver's hands but SOP for that kind of toss is to throw it low, making it a harder catch for the WR but also less likely to be pick-able

I don't know of another that wasn't on NRN.  Did he show some good throws, sure, but most wet-behind-ears QB get a clue and rein it in before they rack up #5.

 

I think Ryan Fitzpatrick threw 5 picks as a rookie.  How'd that decision making work out down the road?

That can't be a complete list including this year, since Big Ben threw 5 vs Jacksonville this year, and Not-ready-Nate threw 5 in the first half vs LA Chargers this year.  Edit: Oh, I see -  35 games somehow I read it as 5

This seems like Tyrod to me

 

I don't think you can tag TT with "marginal arm strength".  His deep ball, under Roman/Lynn, was one of our strengths.  He has patience under pressure, sometimes too much, but he doesn't react as a pocket passer should by stepping up into his lanes.  I'm not equipped to comment on the sloppy mechanics and spotty accuracy - I thought his mechanics were OK but I'm not a QB guru, and when a WR and QB miss each other all you can say is one of the two messed up.

 

The poor decisions I grant though in the opposite direction.  Maybe we could pour Peterman and Taylor's risk perception into a big pot, stir, and come up with something just right.

Just rewatched all 5. You're right - there wasn't a second that was on the WR. No excuse, though, for the FB. Perfect pass and there wasn't a defender within 8 yards of him until he volleyed it into the air.

Fair enough ....   This season it appears as if he's declined

That mixture would be sweet

I heard on NFLN today that the Jags are 8-0 when Bortles has no picks, which means they are 2-6 when he has at least one.  So any INT that we can get in this game will be HUGE.

 

I had heard that too

 

Lets go 3 Amigo's   Poyer, Hyde and White!!!    One each would be sweet!!!

Yes.  Bank on it.  With 26NateHater its a passion for him.  

How many games has Nate played in the NFL?   1 no? 

 

Isn't it 4?  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PeteNa00/gamelog/2017/

 

Then there's preseason.

 

I'll grant it's not a large sample size, but what I don't understand, based upon his being a 5th round draft pick combined with said sample size, is why folks are high on seeing him more? 

Not meaning to dump on the kid as some others or assert that a handful of passess in 4 games define him, it's just you usually don't expect much out of a 4th round or later draft pick besides holding a clipboard for a year or two, or maybe some practice squad.  If you are going to get more, it usually telegraphs itself as a stellar performance in preseason (ie Dak Prescott) or exceptional quality play when he starts (ie, don't shoot me, Ryan Fitzpatrick's first game - >300 yds passing, 3:1 TD:INT kind of thing)

Actually, ProFootballFocus calculates a passer rating under pressure, though it no doubt requires some subjective interpretation.

It's always one of Taylor's highest ratings. (I attached the week 16 rankings as an example)

Agree with this. I just don't think we should conclude his career is unsalvagable.

I think that had more to do with the change in WR and playcalling.  Our current guys don't get the kind of separation TT wants downfield and he doesn't trust them as he was starting to trust Sammy.

 

Let's Go Buffalo!

If you want to use preseason you want.   I see zero INT's there.   

 

It's a double edged sword.     When I use preseason stats people don't like it when I post Tyrod's QB rating  of 27.9.   12 in the PHI game.

Trust....  Also -  He should have been able to get in sync after 10 or more games.

5 Ints in 4 separate games, yet the most we have won by was 10 points?  GEESH what an awful team during the drought.

 

Our offenses have been inept. It's like this year...when we were getting a boatload of turnovers but doing nothing with them.

If it weren't for the defense gifting the offense those turnovers in opponent territory, the scoreboard would look much worse. Fortunately, the offense often started in FG range, so when they promptly went 3 & out, they could at least get 3 points.

When the defense got turnovers in our own side of the field, it usually lead to a punt :/

Has less to do with Peterman, specifically and more to do with people being really tired of seeing Tyrod's JV offense every Sunday. 

 

Taylor's ceiling is well known and established at this point. Peterman is an unknown and I think people wanted to see if maybe the Bills got lucky in the 5th round. It's like a scratch-off ticket, basically. More than likely it's going in the garbage, but you never know until you take a look.
