Peterman Could Play in Indy

[MJS]

I'd don't care how much of the offense Anderson does or doesn't know. He'd be better than Peterman.

I am uncertain what it would hurt to start him at this point. Our chances of making the playoffs this year are slim and none. His starting schedule has been sporadic. Start him three games in a row where he prepares for each opponent and see what you have. Maybe a light goes on, maybe the OC doesn't call plays that are not suited to him. Worst thing that happens is he explodes which gives us a better draft pick. No no no I am not a tank Advocate and never will be. But the season is lost and starting our 35 year-old old Mentor probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense at the end of the day.

 

Yeah this is where I'm at with it. I can't think of a single benefit of Anderson playing. I mean I would only start Peterman until Allen is recovered from the injury but that could be a game or 2 where he can just watch some film.

If Allen can’t play it doesn’t matter who starts. If Peterman plays so be it he is playing for a job next year. Either he plays himself off th roster or not. If you can’t count on him to be the back up he shouldn’t be on the team year.

Mike Rodak - ESPN
Bills' Support of Nathan Peterman Approaches Absurd Level
The Bills love Peterman's character, but it's well past time for them to move on. If Josh Allen can't play next week, Derek Anderson should.

 

HOUSTON -- LeSean McCoy shook his head, pursed his lips and took six seconds to find the words to answer a question Sunday about how much remaining confidence the Buffalo Bills' offense had in quarterback Nathan Peterman.

 

"I still have a lot of confidence in him," McCoy eventually said. "We just gotta play better for him, make plays [and] make it easier for him to build some confidence within himself."

 

McCoy did his best to support his teammate after Peterman threw two more interceptions to doom the Bills in a 20-13 loss Sunday to the Houston Texans, but the Bills' rationalization of continuing to stick by Peterman has reached an absurd point.

laconfora picked the Bills to win and jinxed us 

 

 

darn you jason!!!!’

[VW82]

Honestly, if Anderson isn't ready to go I'd still rather have Peterman out there than expose Josh to any further humiliation and undue pressure. Allen is the investment that needs to be protected, so let's protect him. 

 

Plus, it's not like Josh is giving us a better chance to win right now. The only difference between the two is Bills coaches are dumbing down the offense to ridiculous degrees for Allen, and calling the most vanilla plays ever to minimize risk. They've allowed Peterman to take more risks and it's blown up in their faces in spectacular fashion. Outside of the Minnesota game, the results have been similar: an anemic offense and a bunch of Ls. 

 

Allen can come back when he's fully healthy and we're out of the playoff race so the focus can be more on his development rather than just winning.

Those were the Days my Friend !
I have come around to just letting Peterman have another shot. How much worse could he be really ?
and if he gets killed via the O line ? then it was meant to be.

I do not want to see Anderson injured.

 so until Allen is Healthy enough. just put Nathan in there and hope for the best.

Well, they did have options and made questionable choices.

 

all things equal, it’ll probably be pretty unreasonable around here next Monday no matter what so here’s to hoping it’s the crazy peterman fanatics celebrating 

[K-9]

Well, he is undefeated as a starter vs. the Colts, after all. I’m sure McDermott will give that a ton of weight in his deliberations.

 

Unfortunately.

If Peterman could play in Indy, could it be for the Colts?

i know, i don't get it. he can put on a classic 80 yd. drive for a score in 2 min. , but i think the problem is that he decided to make his brand by getting rid of the ball quick and it's bit him in the ass. i don't know if those 2  picks were due to play calling or the aforementioned,  but i'm a sucker and would love for nate to be able to come out in a game that wasn't affected by weather or desperation and see him operate. i think he can still be a frank reichish backup.i   just think there's more there. sorry...flame away

how Bills put themselves in this position is one thing. and shortsighted. Shoulda kept AJM and let him start. Some one in the FO made an error indeed to not have 3 going into the season having just Drafted Allen.

I hope Peterman can manage a day against the Colts.
and hold the line till Allen comes back.

Once you started Allen, hard to turn back. Nor should they.

*sigh*. It's saddening to see this defense (maybe 1 of the best Bills D in a long, long time) get wasted with the joke of an offense. Petermen and Allen both are not playing well, however,  I'd still rather see Allen if he can go. Feel like Allen is being wasted thus far also with the lack of any talent once so ever around him(besides Shady).

 

The Bills defense was good just 4 years ago...

 

What is it with these crap takes? They were top 3 when Orton was sliding behind the line of scrimmage

Idk if you heard his post game, but it is maddening to me... Petermans post game. I'm starting to think he is diabolical. Coming out with this I'm a child of God and all this stuff.... Is he !@#$ing nuts? He injected religion into his post game, out of no where. Does he always do this in face to face interactions? I think he's playing McDermott.

 

Look I'm pretty strong in my faith. I respect most of those who are. But when you start going off rambling about your religion when asked about your job performance, I start to think you're nuts or you're whacked.

I sincerely don’t get it. It’s really the #1 thing that makes me question this regime right now, and if this happens I may go into full blown “F the process” mode.

 

Peterman does not belong in the NFL and I have to imagine that most teams would have dropped him long ago. To start him at this point is just insane. WTF are you trying to do McBeane? None of this should be about your ego’s at this point. If this truly happens, and fails again, then get them all out of here.

He did come out in a game not affected by weather or desperation... Which I wouldn't even say Houston was a desperation situation. You just made a bunch of excuses for him.

 

He had that chance in LA, he played awful. He played awful in Baltimore. Flacco had no problem throwing in that rain. He played awful again in Houston, but I guess you have built in excuses for your point since you probably consider them to be bad weather or desperation.

 

I'm sorry, the guy is bad. It's not flaming when you make a point that you can't defend at all and everyone is scratching their heads. I don't understand it. Let him go, he's not Frank Reich. Their will probably never be another Frank Reich because of how teams handle the QB position now.

But why not just grab somebody waiting for a job if this is the scenario? Peterman might be the worst QB to ever suit up in the history of the NFL. That ain’t hyperbole, the stats support it. Why not ditch Peterman and grab anybody available for a spot start?

 

Seriously Is this Stockolm Syndrome or something? How tf does anybody think Nate Peterman is a capable NFL QB at this point??!  What more do you all need to see???

[Drywater]

If Peterman plays in Indy I'd bet my house the Bills loose by more then 7.

[RosenNOTchosen1]

If Peterman starts is it fair to say the over/under on INT's he throws is 4?

Would you take the over or the under?

Said "maybe" 1 of the best defenses in a long time. Majority of your post are crap, don't come calling my post crap when that's basically what you spew on a regular basis Charlie. Maybe read slower next time before you go calling other peoples post crap.

WTF did you think was going to happen if Allent got hurt?  NP was the backup...he sucks, and now he may have to play if Allen cant because Derek just got here.  

 

Speaking for myself....this is why I am pissed.  We all knew what would happen if Allen got hurt, but apparently the Bills didn't.  For crying out loud, they went how many games with just Allen and Peterman as your QBs?  The guy they now want to play has been with the team a week?  We've been screaming for a vet QB since forever.   It's frustrating from a fans point of view, when we can see the problems, but the guys getting paid to do it can't.

 

 

[SoCal Deek]

I’m supposed to be out of town. If Peterman plays I’ll avoid the game altogether. It’ll be the first one I’ve not even taped since we were flying to London the week before the game at Wembley. 

[Beast]

I guess I’d be more upset if I thought the Bills actually had a shot at the playoffs.

 

They don’t and I’m not.

 

I hope they address the backup position a wee bit better next off-season.

You guys need to calm down.  Bunch of whining on this board.  What did you think was going to happen if Allent got hurt?  NP was the backup...he sucks, and now he may have to play if Allen cant because Derek just got here.  If Derek can get up to speed enough on the playbook before the game (assuming Allen cant go) then I bet he plays.  But if not, there is no one else that can.  They cant sign or trade for a guy, they wont know the offense to play this weekend.  

 

This isnt Madden where you can plug and play a guy instantly at any position.  I swear, this board has lost all touch with reality, logic, sanity and reasoning this year.  One minute, you love McD...Josh gets hurt now you want him fired.  I mean its absurd.  

 

McD is doing a great job, our only issue is the talent on the offensive side of the ball is bad THIS season.  Yet, he has 2-2 in our last 4 games, and had Allen not got hurt, quite possibly we would have beaten the Texans and would have been 3-1 in our last 4 with a total lack of talent on the offense.  

 

I mean seriously, HTF can you guys keep crapping on McD.? This season is going to be rough ALL YEAR on offense because there isn’t enough talent on it.  So R-E-L-A-X and go Bills.  

Thats not out only issue- special teams is garbage and Daboll’s system is less than college level. Other than that, everything is peachy. In all seriousness, no one expected to win much this year- next year we should get some shiny new toys.

And that really would be deserved.  It's not just that Peterman threw a pick-6.  It's that he threw the same pick he threw in San Diego and Jacksonville - on a route his ability to throw was called into question during pre-draft scouting.  Peterman can stand up and say "it's something I have to learn from" but what signs of learning does he show?

[CommonCents]

It’s a simple decision. Put Anderson out there if JA can’t go. That shows McD is making an attempt to fix HIS error, a month late but still an attempt. Anderson sucking is better than Nate sucking.

Her report is not at all surprising but I do wonder who her source is. I’ve never seen her report on the Bills before, and there have been very few leaks since mcbeane took over. I wonder if she truly has a direct source or if she’s reading all the stuff out there and drawing pretty logical conclusions.

Good point about the lack of previous reports on the Bills.  Maybe she developed a source who got frustrated and dished on this, as folks do when they're heartsick or frustrated.

I'm thinking it could possibly be a player in the locker room who has just had enough of Peterman and wants to get this out.

I am cursed with this team, I lost in FFL because other guy I was playing had Houstons defense and I lost by 2 points because of the Peterman pick 6. Now this week the guy I am playing has Indys defense and Peterman is probably starting. This is a 500$ FFL with 10$    transaction fees, come on Bills help me out here.
