ComradeKayAdams Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 22 minutes ago, Kevin1778 said: Such a moronic post. How are those others teams excuses any better than the Bills. Two of the Bills quarterbacks got injured idiot. Do you even watch the Bills. At a bare minimum they would have three starters and with this offensive line 4 or even 5 is possible. Barkley will be lucky to survive tomorrow. 1987: strike year....Kelly and then 3 scrubs starting 1 game each at QB due to the strike. 1960, 1961: first two years of the AFL...completely different expectations in terms of how to secure quality QB's on the market as well as how the position was played/scouted etc... 1968: longstanding franchise QB suddenly goes down in practice, 2 weeks before the season begins...3 more QB's (Flores, Darragh, and Stephenson) get injured....4 in total. 2018: epic mismanagement of the QB situation beyond the injuries to Allen and Anderson. Getting rid of Taylor without a suitable replacement, trading McCarron, forcing Allen into a starting role a full year before he's ready, throwing Anderson and Barkely onto the field days after picking them off the streets....all of these bad decisions stem from the singular fact that McDermott completely overestimated Peterman's abilities as an NFL QB. My speculation is that there was some favoritism going on because they both believe in the same invisible space God. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA3196 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I am glad we ended the playoff drought last year. The total number of QB's to start for Buffalo since the "Music City debacle" is devastating. Don't get me started on how many QB's have started games for us since Jimbo stepped down. WOW. This isn't even what's available at the bar at 3am ugly. More like "The bar is closing, lets troll the parking lot". OUCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 See I don't think this is a big deal. Allen and Anderson got hurt and Nathan Peterman might be the worst quarterback of all time. If if we started 4 guys because we couldn't figure out who the guy is, I'd be worried. Obviously we know Josh Allen is the guy. And he happens to be hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they ever thought Peterman could start the majority of the games til Allen was ready is a big deal. Not having a veteran backup when the season started is a big deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The Bowns trotted out this stud lineup in '09:Brady Quinn (1-2); Derek Anderson (3-6); Ken Dorsey (0-3); Bruce Gradkowski (0-1) Scary to say they were all better than who we have now, including Anderson.

reddogblitz Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) 5 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said: Botch? So injuries are the coaches fault? They said they intended Allen to start week 1, but his 3rd preseason game made them want to sit him a little early In this season and NP just flopped and JA got out in during week 1. Now hes hurt. NP failed so they signed DA but had to keep NP too with Allen still hurt. So they signed Barkley with both DA and JA still hurt, but again have to keep NP in case Barkley gets hurt. So what did they botch? Injuries are injuries, only reason it will be 4. the season starter is not nor has been injured this year. Only backups have been inured. Selecting Nasty Mate as starter falls squarely on the brain trust. didn't the Packers go through several QB s a few years ago? Rodgers and the first backup were injured early on. Then they brought in Seneca Wallace who was promptly injured. iN 2013 they started 4. In 2010, the Cowboys started Quincy Carter (8) / Anthony Wright (3) / Ryan Leaf (3) / Clint Stoerner (2) In 2015 the Cowboys started Matt Cassel (7) / Tony Romo (4) / Brandon Weeden (3) / Kellen Moore (2) Edited November 11, 2018 by reddogblitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could find on the Interwebs, the 1987 Patriots have the record with five ... but that was in a strike season (in which Doug Flutie crossed the line and started one game before the strike ended). I feel like there's been no team in the history of the NFL to botch the handling of the QB position (some consider it an important position in the NFL). Am I wrong? I've stated this in numerous threads before, was the QB position botched or could we just not get a veteran QB in here? I've read a bunch of articles stating the Bills reached out to Mccown, Keenum and Bradford, not sure maybe others. s it botched if you tried to sign guys but opted for other teams? The choices they had were the same guys we have now after that... Anderson/Barkley etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The botch was the belief in Peterman. McCarron was the worst QB in preseason so his departure was earned. Can’t predict the injuries so I don’t blame them for Allen and Anderson going down. That is mostly the result of two pro bowl linemen quitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I bet half this board knows the playbook better than he does. might as well try him out this pre-season- season. maybe he can play. neither Pete or Anderson will be around next year, maybe barkley can be a workable #2.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 As an organization, the Bills are really starting to look like: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cleveland_Browns_starting_quarterbacks Browns have 31 since 1999-2000. The Bills are at 19/20 depending on Matt Cassel in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is what it looks like when you get rid of the left side of your line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
