It will give Beane/McDermott no excuses to keep him on the roster next year if he flames out. There is no benefit to starting Anderson as we are probably going to lose regardless. Hopefully Allen heals up quick and the Peterman experiment ends if he can't turn things around. His 9 ints in 79 pass attempts isn't enough to get him cut next year. MCD needs to see more? Only in Buffalo man. That is priceless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Technically Anderson maybe a little better. Only 3 INTs in his first start versus 5 in one half in Peterman first... So what’s Kevin Kolb up to these days? Edited October 22, 2018 by Another Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever sat a player? Milano a bit I guess...no one on the OL or Dline.. All I am saying is dude talk a big game when it comes to "earning"..means nothing when it comes to actually reps. Miller last year. Dareus early in the year. Groy was yanked. Milano was forced to “earn” it. Shaq Lawson is another example. Everyone is asked to earn there spot and Peterman is handed his. That’s why I am anti-Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if the league tried to force our hand into starting the PeterMAN on MNF for the sheer entertainment value. All of a sudden, a meaningless games turns into a pick parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like watching your regular boring bad quarterback do his thing. The mere fact that every single snap brings the distinct possibility of a pick six adds some excitement. I hear what you’re saying. Peterman’s pick-6’s are horrible, but they aren’t spectacularly bad. If you want this kind of ‘entertainment’, bring EJ back and go full clown show.

Let Anderson learn the playbook and get in shape and after the bye go with Allen and Anderson as his backup. We are looking at Pats, Bears, Jets on road. Anderson will not survive that. He isn't ready to play yet. There is no way he should start. Anderson threw for more yards than all the games Perterman had combined. Peterman needs to be cut asap. Anderson looked terrible also but we are just offensively terrible. Not sure if Brady could help this bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 So...the 'Being Him In!' crowd is being supplanted by the 'Bring Him Back!' crowd.

CodeMonkey Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) 47 minutes ago, NewEra said: People think Anderson played terrible? I thought he played a decent 1st half. If it wasn’t for clay being useless and fumbling and Mike Mitchell playing lights out, I thought he played ok. 2nd half, things were different obviously, but that’s vs a defense that knew we had to throw. I don’t think Anderson played great, but to those that thought he was terrible, I just didn’t see terrible. He looked better than allen imo I agree, particularly given the fact the 2 weeks ago he was at disney world with his family. He should not have even been playing Sunday. Anyone, and this includes the Bills coaching staff and front office, that expected any better, they need to put down the crack pipe immediately.

I'd feel a lot better with Anderson and Allen as our two QBs than I would with Peterman and Allen. Just my dos pesos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to argue that he didn't earn the starting spot coming out of training camp and pre-season. He was the best of the 3 QB's. He also earned his spot on the bench during the opener and the team signed a veteran player to replace him as the backup. Seems to me like the coach has him right where he deserves to be and if Allen were healthy and Anderson was playing well enough to hold down the backup role, Nate would probably be cut or at least inactive.

K-9 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I don’t think MNF agains the Pats*** would be too big for him as he strikes me as that type of player who thrives on those big time moments on the national stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Whoever starts Monday night the end result will almost certainly be ugly. B&B are probably salivating at the chance of setting a record for points by one team in a game and of creative and never before seen ways ways to run up the score. And its probably likely that it will develop into a NE pickfest regardless of who is serving them up. I think signing Anderson was a good move. They needed to bring in a vet and they did. But I don't think he should be playing. To me his role should be mentoring Allen full time. He's probably the best QB coach the Bills have right now. He should be doing what McCown is doing for the Jets. So I would start NP. If I thought, like most people, he was for sure the worst excuse for a QB to ever walk on a football field I probably wouldn't do that. But I'm not there yet. Allen wound up in a situation that is very much less than ideal. Many feel it could derail his career. But so did Peterman. He might never be any good but I think he would look a lot better in an O organized and play called/designed by Andy Reid or Sean Payton. As far as the arm strength narrative is concerned, I don't think it accounts for his failure entirely. To me his problems have more to do with processing and adjusting to the speed of the game, same as for almost all raw college QBs. Many knowledgeable posters strongly disagree so I know I might be wrong. In any event I doubt that Coach has the stones to trot out NP as his starter any time soon or perhaps ever again.

That’s what he has earned!! Practice what you preach Sean. The wrestling coach did practice what he preached. Do you need to be reminded that Peterman was benched for the unprepared rookie and then for the pedestrian vagabond qb who left his vacation to make some extra coin? 2 hours ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: I will let it go as soon as the Bills let him go, and not a moment sooner.

How about channeling more of your energy toward the deficient players who are actually playing on the OL and the receiving corps? Your angst is of your own creation. You are like the emergency room doctor who when examining the patient who just had a massive heart attack focuses his attention on the wart of his left hand instead of dealing with the real problem that the dying patient is confronting.
