‘McDermott has a mess on his hands at quarterback. Even if there were reasons to bench Taylor, the head coach grossly miscalculated Peterman’s readiness for the job. The move turned the Bills into a laughingstock nationally – just the type of thing the team wanted to get away from after firing Rex Ryan – and potentially cost the Bills a game in a tight AFC playoff race (although there is no way to know that Taylor would’ve beat the Chargers). McDermott’s defense also went through a historically bad three-game stretch of giving up 135 points, while the offense under Rick Dennison has been downright painful to watch for weeks on end. Credit McDermott for not completely losing the team over the botched quarterback call, but make no mistake – this has been a brutal stretch for the first-year coach.’
