Buffalo Bills embarrassed again and Peterman implodes in loss to Los Angeles Chargers
‘Coach Sean McDermott rolled the dice in the hope that Peterman could provide a spark to a sagging offense and, really, a sagging team that was coming off two horrific losses. The dice rolled right off the table and into a toilet, and ex-Bills coordinator Anthony Lynn, now the Chargers’ head coach, must have been texting back and forth with his old starting quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, laughing their butts off about the whole thing.’

‘Peterman had no chance against the now 4-6 Chargers playing in front of 25,015 fans at StubHub Center, about 10,000 of which were rooting for the Bills. Arrowhead Stadium next week against a much better Chiefs team that will be dying to make amends for losing to the woeful Giants? That’s frightening to think about.’

Bills report card: Sean McDermott set Nathan Peterman up for colossal failure
‘Five interceptions. That’s really all I need to say in defending this grade. Nathan Peterman looked utterly incapable of playing in the NFL, let alone be a starting quarterback. The amazing thing is the Bills only had the ball for 11 minutes while Peterman played, meaning he averaged an interception almost once every two minutes! I felt bad for him because as it turns out, he was put in an impossible situation by coach Sean McDermott. Just because Tyrod Taylor isn’t the answer doesn’t mean Peterman should have been run out there, on the road, against a ferocious pass rush, with a horrible offensive line in front of him.’

What Sean McDermott said about Nate Peterman’s meltdown in Bills’ loss to Chargers
‘”It wasn’t what he had hoped for or we had hoped for,” McDermott said. “At the same time, you know when you put a young player out there, a young quarterback, that there’s going to be some ups and downs. This is part of it. The good part about Nate is I know he’s a mentally tough individual and he’s a good football player. To me, it’s not indicative of who he is as a football player, but you know you’re going to go through some of this. All good players do.”‘
