Did Mills sabotage Peterman's start due to his anger over TT benching?

I’m not there yet, but it will happen eventually, God willing.:) Bryant-Denny Stadium is fantastic. Great place to watch a game. Seats 102,000 people and it’s a first rate facility. I try to go to a game or two a year.

Good for you.  

Keep Rolling On.

I'll assume that the coaches looked at their alternatives and after 6 games their mind was already made up that Taylor wasn't coming back in 2018 - no matter what they thought of Taylor personally. I don't think it had the least littlest bit to do with whether or not McD is challenged by the offensive game. I'm not privy to his world but I doubt he has any problems understanding which QB can and cannot handle the game. 

 

Rico had a voice too - and I don't know that they already knew he was not going to be on the sidelines in '18.  They were ready to move on from TT before the season, until he redid his contract.  His best chance to start in the league was in Buffalo - and he knew it.  Fast forward 12 months - TT got another starting gig - and we got the 1st pick of the 3rd round.  We're left with NP - who better have made huge strides this offseason if he's going to be competing for a starting role.  I suspect AJM is as good as penciled in for 2018 - and we'll see how the draft plays out.  AJM may be a paper tiger, we won't know.

 

That's the part I sort of hate about the league year - you'd like to think that after the FA period starts and before the draft, you'd get an opportunity to get your team together and at least see what you have pre-draft as far as how the pieces work together.

Come on man, he just pretended that he couldn't match up against a great player like Bosa. 

 

So very unfortuNATE that he sabotaged Putrid Peterman's debut.  

back me up bruh. My favorite new revisionist history I've been hearing lately: AT LEAST HE WENT OUT SWINGING UNLIKE MOST OTHER PANSY QBs.  I'll repeat Tyrod's Friend: "I've seen Tom Brady and other QBs act like cowards under considerably less pressure than what happened to Nate Peterman in that game."

At least GOAT Tom Brady doesn't make terrible decisons. Lol never make that comparison again.. ever, TBD. Revisionist Bills: beat your chest all you want about how Nate was impressive throwing a pick 6 while getting nailed. WHAT A WARRIOR. THE TESTOSTERONE IS FLYING BEAT YOUR CHEST EVERYONE WE HAVE A QUARTERBACK THAT CAN TAKE A LICKING. Other quarterbacks have a different, more intelligent approach to the game, including ROOKIES. Look no further than the infamous record broken by Pick5 Pete.

 

He had a bad game, I thought he rebounded nicely. Not giving up. But do not tell me that "GOING OUT SWINGING" (with a handful of pick 6s) is a positive lol. He's not Brett Favre. That's a cliche excuse about boxers that get their butt kicked.

 

I just want people to admit his debut was bad, and a bad decision by coaches.. regardless of the circumstances. Quarterbacks get mad pressure all the time (Tyrod v Jets anyone?). Stop the revisionist history lol.

It's hilarious that this thread is still going.

 

The people that think that Peterman game in LA was Jordan Mills worst performance as a Bill don't remember the last series of the game in Seattle in 2016.

 

Mills is an oaf..........but the trend around the league is to value experienced and durable OL and hope that they eventually develop enough technique and understanding thru experience that they turn into serviceable players..........because good O-lineman are scarce and hard to develop.     

 

 

Yeah like nobody knew Bosa was going to get pressure. Total surprise //s

You'll never convince Petermaniacs who want to make lame excuses for him. Just let time prove you correct and move forward. On to the 2018 draft with a new QB at OBD!

yeah I need to get out of this thread. I voiced my opinion 6 months ago. It's the new interpretation of the game 6 months later that agitates me.

Mills has been terrible since he's been here. 

 

He "sabotaged" a few games in his time here. Rumor has it Tyrod said something about his mom in the final drive of that game against Seattle in 2016. Mills obviously didn't like that too much and proceeded to let Cliff Avril run free at Tyrod. 

 

Still.... it was all Tyrods fault.

because.. QBs love to agitate their O Line hahaha.

haha whatever, don't tell they don't produce studs lol. Hate Bama as much as the next guy (which actually is only half the Bills board for some ungodly reason). Other half feels like OSU.

I ran into an acquaintance last week at a local place here in Las Vegas ( I know, Vegas, right?).  He is from Clarence, and says he has two close friends whom both work within the Bills organization.  When the topic of Nathan Peterman came up vs. the Chargers, he rolled his eyes and laughed.  Told me that some in the building firmly believe that Jordan Mills was so PI$$ED about Taylor's benching that he purposely became a turnstile vs. the Chargers to sabotage Peterman's start.

 

Now,  first of all I'm skeptical when someone says they have "friends" that work at One Bills Drive (I don't know their names).  Secondly,  I never heard of any claims of players having it in for Peterman over Taylor's benching nor feel that any professional would put another athletes health at risk over a benching.  So I went to the video myself to see if I could notice anything out of the ordinary from Mills' side.

 

Now, keep in mind that Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram are two great athletes.  But if you closely watch Mills vs both of them, this guy's friends may be onto something.

 

I pulled this video from Youtube which shows all 5 picks. (it will make you go to YouTube.com website to watch the video).   Here is what I saw.

 

 

 

:45 - Peterman threads a beautiful pass to Benjamin.  If you notice Mills, he Ole's Melvin Ingram.  Not only does he barely move, he just stands there after Ingram whiffs by him.  Luckily on this play, Peterman completed the ball prior to Ingram getting to him.  Horrible look, horrible effort by Mills.

 

2:04 - This was the screen pass to DeMarco.  (Slow the video to .25 speed) Mills pulls inside once the Ball is snapped.  Now keep in mind he is running opposite of where the ball is going.  It looks as if he purposely avoids hitting Bosa (ducking to his left) to double team Ducasse's guy (who neither hit and the defender doesn't end up even being involved in the play) .  Bosa fires up the line and hits DeMarco, throwing off his route.  He then closes in on Peterman who has to rush the throw, which is tipped by DeMarco who is probably short of where he was supposed to be due to rubbing Bosa and it's intercepted and taken the other way.  Now some will say "throw it away", or blame DeMarco.  But Bosa's disruption based on Mills inability to just get in his way led to this.  Another bad look.

 

3:59 - Ingram beats Mills on the outside and Mills hips end up facing the back of the end zone.  Ingram is able to stick up his hand in Peterman's face, which makes him take a step back and right into Bosa coming in from behind.  Now, a smarter QB would have stepped up, and on this play it just looks as if Mills got beat cleanly.  But then again, who knows.

 

7:27 - On this play, Mills HAS to see that there is Bosa and a blitzer lined up outside of him.  When the ball is snapped, he barely moves and once again ole's Bosa.  While the RB takes on the blitzer, Bosa comes in and crushes Peterman.  Now, some will say a veteran QB should just take the sack on that one and not throw the ball.  But it doesn't take away the fact that Mills looked so badly beaten it makes you wonder how much of it was skill, and how much of it was anger over Taylor's benching?

 

8:17 - This was a quick three step drop and throw.  For some reason Mills takes a step to the outside, knowing he needs to protect the inside gap to ensure Peterman has a clear line of sight.  Mills basically gives Bosa an inside lane directly into this QB.  This throws off the throw (it's a 3 step drop for God's sake) and ends up being an INT.  Looking at this closely, Mills sets up so wide and then looks so badly beaten inside on such a simple blocking assignment it's f'n crazy.

 

9:39 -   Peterman's final INT comes from Dawkins' side.  It looks like Bosa makes a move inside and Dawkin's gets hurt (He favor's his shoulder as he comes off the field).  But you'll notice this is the only INT that comes from pressure directly in the face of Peterman that doesn't come from Mills side..

 

Now, these are the only plays I have video of.  Who knows how many more plays he may have whiffed at.  After watching this video, one could say Mills just had a really bad day.  But some can also say that, on some of those plays,  it looks like Mills was barely making an effort (if any), which makes you wonder.....was he really trying to send a message to the coaching staff for benching Taylor?

 

As for Peterman, he took a lot of heat for a performance that wasn't all his fault.  Not only does he get a bad wrap from Bills fans, but from around the league in general.  If Mills wanted to sabotage his start and make McDermott look stupid, he succeeded.    It also earned TT the start the following week.

 

Mission accomplished

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or how about Mills just sucks?

and Peterman is just a 5th round BU

It's the offseason - and this is a QB thread involving a horrible OT, a former QB for the Bills, and a current QB who may or may not be a passable backup.

 

What would you expect from TSW?
