eball Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 ...I believe all of Bills Mafia will be holding their collective breaths. I know I will be. Even though I have no confidence in Peterman I also feel somewhat ashamed that I'm fearful of disaster when he takes the field. If I step back and take a wider view Peterman starting is really a "no lose" situation and I understand why McD made that decision. If Peterman plays well and the Bills are winning it's a fantastic story of redemption and perhaps Peterman becomes a trade chip. If he doesn't play well or is injured, it's far easier for McD to go from Nate to Josh than vice-versa and the Allen Era begins. I'm going to try and enjoy the ride. Be ready for a huge exhale after that first pass attempt. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The first play.... Peterman under centre, 3 step drop completes to Benjamin on the curl route for 6 yards. The second play.... McCoy run to the left. Loss of 3 yards. The third play.... Peterman in the gun, throws for Clay right at the sticks. INTERCEPTED by a linebacker who simulated pressure then dropped into an underneath zone. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't bet your life savings on this. ********** My prediction is as long as the Ravens load the box (7 or more near the line) , Nate will throw every play until they back off. Throwing to Benjamin, Clay, and Croom (the big guys). Nate, unlike Taylor, will use the middle of the filed all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I think the first play will be a run, so that Peterman can ease into the flow of the game a bit more slowly and calm down. They won't ask him to throw on play 1. It will be handoff to Shady, for a gain of 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 So much optimism here LOL Damn, guys. And you know what? Most offensive plays fail. 3 or 4 tries to make 10 yards, and it fails quite often. So give Peterman some slack unless he throws picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Everyone is acting like Baltimore is some badass team. They added nothing in the offseason, and couldn't stop the Bengals from marching down the field in a meaningless game (for Cinci) to keep them out of the playoffs. I'm not saying they're awful, but stop pretending this is more than a 500 team, and that's with two Cleveland gimme's every year. Flacco will throw an INT. Collins isn't Fournette, and the last time this defense with almost the exact same personnel took the field on the road in Jax we facepunched Fournette for 57 yards on 21 carries. Some of you guys sound like such weenies with your negativity. Get some optimism and get behind your team, and stop hiding behind your "I'm just being a realist" crap. I don't care what happens on the first play, other than our Oline playing solid so everyone will stop thinking some preseason game against the Bengals is in any way an accurate representation of what you'll see this season. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
