A valid argument. To add, just like back in 2000, this Coaching decision is now a national joke (if you missed PTI, go watch the podcast of it). Ironically, in the year when it looks like the clearest path the Bills had to the play-offs since that 2000 season, they pull off a coaching decision of equal blunder and ineptitude. There is a synergy here. Stranger Things has nothing on the Bills organization. Certainly, there has been enough corporate weirdness around this team over the past 17 years for a hit TV show. The Flutie Curse lives on.
Yes, Tyrod Taylor is not a franchise quarterback, but he is still the best one on the team. So much, Mr. McDermott, for the merit system you have advocated for all year--best man plays? You lost your fans, and now your players with that decision.
The only way out? A public apology to Nate Peterman, to Tyrod Taylor, to your team, and to the fanbase. Admit you made a colossal mistake. Reinstate Taylor as your starter, and hope like heck he pulls out a win for you next week.
