transplantbillsfan Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Did you guys really think he'd make the announcement today? Unlike his decision last year when he benched Tyrod, this is one he pretty much can't go back on so he'll need to make sure he talks with the players and his team. Why would he address the issue with the media and fans first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Monday morning meetings where he could have informed the team 1st then subsequently made an announcement via Twitter or at the afternoon Presser as they did last week when Peterman was named the starter.

I love how everyone was sucking on the tit of McD after every Embedded episode, and now same people turning on him after an EXPECTED bad loss. We got rid of a veteran QB, lost 5 pro bowls worth of OL help, have a weak WR group and rolling out unproven QB's. This team is not going to be as good as last years because we gutted it to make cap space moving forward and to draft a high QB and high LB, both for the future. Yet everyone is piling on McD now when he has to work with the hand he is dealt. agreed and it's one game out of 16. i think he should give nate another half of play time. he was in a 3 hr. downpour yesterday as well as seeing defenses he (they) haven't seen before. they aren't facing amateurs. i think nate deserves to start sunday for once in decent conditions. if he poops the bed right off the bat, then it's josh from here on out. if i were mcd, i would try to give one more try to protect the rookie at least for now. if we can squeak out a win or 2 before a home game against the titans, that would be ideal. let's not get stupid right off the bat. we've seen fitz have games....or tyrod for that case, have these kind of games and look what the beard did yesterday. as for the 56-10 thing, brady threw down on us for badmouthing him the week before the game. that was a grudge f...k. he woulda done that to anybody.

After yesterday he's going to stand there, say the effort was fine. Really? I have to partly agree with that. A number of us saw stamps go on envelopes and mailing it in go down. So McD would get points with the press and the fans if he acknowledged that. On the other hand, what he says as a coach gets back to the team, and "acting as if" is a time honored leadership strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they could just choose to intro the defense after their inspiring performance. I might be talking myself into going to this game. Morbid curiousity.

I would have to think that's possible since he's not backing Peterman as the starter, but he seems like the type to be overly analytical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t look away from car accidents either but I’d rather watch a WNBA preseason game than that scrub. He’s literally the worst QB ever!! He has already been handed more of an opportunity than anyone with his resume deserves and failed each time. Release him now and let him get his Insurance career jump started.

BADOLBILZ Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Alphadawg7 said: All fair points, but McD didn’t make those trades, Beane did wouldn’t you agree? And my question to the other poster was what his prediction was given that most were pretty negative once the Sammy and Darby trades happened. Yet he still took that depleted roster and won 9 games, and likely 10 if not for his big mistake of starting Nate in SD. Yeah but after they made the Watkins and Darby trades it was pretty clear to me they were going to play Jauron Ball and Tyrod was a great fit for that so I still felt they'd be competitive. After they traded Dareus the run defense fell apart which undermined their play-not-to-lose approach significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to be obvious to everyone but McD that Peterman cannot even finish an NFL game due to historically bad play. If it wasn't his boy McD would have announced it. He is just stubborn and loyal to a fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't listen to his PC and won't bother, but I believe if he were seriously starting Peterman again, he would have announced it today in order to try to let the fire kinda die down all week. Viewing almost anything McDermott says in public as anything other than coachspeak is just kinda funny. When listening to a PC by that guy you need to make sure you're on a very high sodium diet. Waiting for the Wednesday announcement just brings me back to the Trent/JP/Fitz days when we got all those announcements on Wednesday. I'm really going to be shocked at this point if Peterman is still the starter. This is our home opener and I could seriously envision the team getting booed before kickoff if Peterman is the starter. My bigger question isn't who our starting QB is this week, it's what we do about backup QB(s) for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I find it astonishing that a starting QB was not named at this PC. Regardless of who that is going to be, it is a clear cut mistake not to announce the decision, which I am sure they have already made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no argument now. Peterman is absolutely awful and it's unfortunate that even our coach was deceived by the mirage of preseason production when it was pretty obvious that all that production was manufactured in the most vanilla setting there is.

He got that chance LAST year in Los Angeles. It was at least 80 degrees and more than half the fans were rooting for the Bills. I was there....and then everything fell apart.
