Joe Webb wouldn't have been any better of an option as well. I wonder if concussion protocol would have been used as an excuse to not start him.

Also it isnt being talked about but the jags were trying to injure him all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate's hit in the Colts game kept him out of practice for over 8 games and Nate walked off the field almost immediately. Taylor needed a lot of time to get to his feet and even then he looked like he was seeing stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hypothetically, if Peterman got us a late TD and also led us to the victory in OT, I don't think the coaches have much of a choice. Peterman would start against New England. Maybe they use concussion protocol as an excuse (although that hit absolutely looked like a multi-week injury), but if Taylor couldn't get us 7 all game and Peterman gets us 10-13 in less than a quarter's worth of play against a top defense in the playoffs, I bet Dennison would feel so vindicated and would tell coach he has to ride the hot hand in Nasty Nate. That being said, did anyone really think he was gonna get it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don’t think McDermott makes that decision again. Thoughts? Changing starting QB mid post season? I think if Peterman wins us that game by tying it and sending it to overtime, he starts vs NE. Yesterday was top 5 for TT's worse performance in a Bills uniform. The stakes were high and TT played horribly and he just didn't seem too fazed by that. I dont think McD could have endured yet another inept TT performance after that . That had to be the final nail in the TT coffin. I had given up all hope of the Bills pulling it out on that last drive. When TT got injured I got a glimmer of hope back. My deluded illogical self thought maybe the Jags wouldn't be ready for the shock of a different type of passer and guys would get open and at least something positive would happen. Alas it didn't. It would have made for a really interesting week of discussion on here though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Funny that Bills fans would agree that 17 years later, it's a good idea to start a backup QB in a playoff game over the starter after one impressive game......... (Well this time I guess it would be different since Nate would only have a couple impressive plays....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 13 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: I think at this point more than enough tape exists on NP for every DC to have figured him out by now. Can one of the Bills coaches at least help this kid out for his next stop and tell him he should stop trying to pass the ball as he is in the grasp and in the process of being sacked? Jeez---this is his signature move! Possibly enough tape if you delve into his college career. 4 quarters of football may be a little tough to figure out tendencies and stuff like that. But I guess if anyone could, it would be BB. Not saying NP would be any good if he were to go against the Pats D, but it would be sort of a Hail Mary type move.

reddogblitz Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Not sure. But if Nate couldn't find his helmet and we had to put Joe Webb III in and HE won it I absolutely would start him next week : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the Biggest mistake McD made was going back to Taylor after the Chargers game or we probably are advancing to 2nd round and wouldn't have needed a miracle play from the Bengals to get into the tourney to begin with. I'm starting to think either you're high or a Pats fan in Bills clothing that is just messing with us. I've been reading a lot of your posts this season and I really think you're just a pot-stirrer.

However, I don’t think McDermott makes that decision again. Thoughts? Changing starting QB mid post season? Like your thoughts here. My only regret is that TT didn't get knocked out earlier in the game. With say 2-3 drives left. This kid couldn't have had a worse situation. 4th and 3 with the game on the line and 77 seconds left and no time outs. That totally takes your running game out of it and you are coming in cold. The D tops in the league just stayed back and covered. All that said, there are so many on this board that would have done better than NP. I'm looking forward to his game after the off season.

No. I don't hate the kid, but I absolutely do not understand the hype around him from some fans either. He's going to be a backup. He *might* develop into one of those guys who is considered a decent low-end starter/top tier backup. Kind of like Matt Moore was for a few years. But past that? There's a reason he was a 5th round pick. Spare me the "Brady was a 6th round pick" nonsense, we all know that and so do 32 front offices, which is why we will probably never see a guy slip through the cracks like that again. QB's get overdrafted now BECAUSE of Brady. They have that mindset of "better to swing and miss in the 4th than hope the guy keeps sliding and you can steal him in the 5th."

BB is a game planning mastermind and has Tyrod figured out. At least he wouldn't have that big of a grasp on NP's tendencies and stuff like that. Would it matter... doubtful haha.

Realistically, had Peterman started and played the whole game vs Jacksonville, he honestly may have set a new NFL record for most interceptions ever in playoff history. And people would be picking Jacksonville to run the table and win the Superbowl right now because they would have looked that dominant on defense.
