  1. Remember when our backfield included a young McGahee and Travis Henry. We could have built an explosive offense around them and ended this drought over a decade ago.

     

    Actually, looking at the 2004 roster, it makes no sense we didn't make the playoffs that year and start building a dynasty. I'd take something similar to that roster again in a heartbeat.

    who cares about getting themselves suspended???? good, send a message..."we are no longer the little kids you can roll right over and bully"...instead...they all just sat their with their thumbs in their asses

     

    Do i think we will retaliate in any way on christmas eve? HEELLLLLLLLLL NOOOOOOO

    We already built a bully. It didn't work.

  3. Actually, somewhere along the way, whether it was actually TT himself or repeated by other players (I think the TV announcers mentioned it last game), Tyrod said if he got to play again he understands what the coaches want and what he needs to do. Hopefully this means he realizes he needs to throw the ball to WRs, even if it means there is a chance of an INT and that he needs to better anticipate throws. He hit Zay a few times when he did play in the second half, so maybe that was the beginning of a transition for him. I am absolutely fine with Tyrod if he starts to throw to receivers who are not obviously open, and gets rid of the ball quicker. I have nothing against TT being our QB, and used to be totally in his corner. That said, i CANNOT take more ball pats, hesitation and check downs. Yes, I would rather see five picks per half than that.

    The question is why no wait a week?  Because if Tyrod played well they couldn't make a change....  And play out the masterful draft strategy?

    You mean wait a week so we can see 75 more ball pats and WRs waving their arms while standing in the middle of the field wide open? Wait a week so Tyrod can throw for 120 yards and we can be 5-5? Can you honestly say you don't get 100% frustrated watching him play QB? Are the two to three good plays he makes each game enough to leave you wanting more?

    I guess I get that.  And, as a Bills fan, I truly hope he can and does excel.  I just don't get the euphoria around it.  Maybe, I'm just too jaded, but I've seen far more rookie QBs fail than succeed.  And given that we have almost no actual game footage to go on, I really don't understand the certainty that so many posters seem to have.

    I get that too. Nobody can be certain, but there's a sense of hope and excitement because there's a CHANCE he may do well, which is potential for a huge change of pace over the TT mediocrity.

    This is my question to the Peterman faithful.... How can you say that?  He played 2 series in a blow put game.  I just don't understand how/why everyone is so confident that Peterman is the next great QB.  

    I think it's more optimism about Peterman actually being able to throw to our WRs and sustain drives, than it is thinking he's the next great QB. I mean, he's going to have to be absolutely awful to do less than TT. And, even if he is awful, oh well, as we definitely weren't going anywhere other than 6-10 or 7-9 with Tyrod.

  6. I put this in a different thread as well when someone mentioned Vick, but I'm going to put it here as well.

     

    This is interesting because if I were to ask who the better NFL QB is, Michael Vick or Tyrod Taylor, I am assuming people would unanimously say Vick. Well, if that is true...

     

    Vick's best season was in 2004 when he was 24 years old with a  record of 11-4 where he passed for 2,313 yards, 14TDs and 12INT. He rushed for 902 yards and 3 TDs this season. The Falcons were middle of the road on defense this year, ranking 14th overall. Fun fact, Peerless Price was on this team.

     

    You want yards instead? The most yards Vick every passed for was 3303 in 2011with the Philadelphia Eagles when he was 31 years old. He tossed 18 TDs to 14 INTs and had a 7-6 record as a starter that year. Fun fact, LeSean McCoy and Jason Peters were on that team...along with DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Brent Celek (more talent than we have).

     

    Aside from that 11 win season the next best season Vick had in terms of wins is 8. He did this three times, twice with Atlanta and once with Philly.

     

    So, if we all agree Vick is better than Tyrod, and I really do not know how you can argue otherwise, it should be apparent that he has had more than enough time to prove himself and what he can do. What do you want to do, wait around for 3000 yards and a couple 8 win seasons? Vick played 12 seasons (tossing out 2009 when he only started 1 game) and won more than 8 games once. ONCE! 1 for 12 on winning more than 8 games. And people are really waiting on a less talented player to lead this team to the playoffs?

     

    Yea, this QB change was long overdue

    Tyrod is possibly the most athletic QB in the NFL, close to what Michael Vick was.  But the shortcomings prevent him from functioning effectively at some of the things an NFL QB really needs to do.  That was the story of his tenure in a nutshell.  I hope Peterman can be a more complete QB.

    I think the TEAM blows.

     

    They started out hot and teams have caught on. trading the better young talented players on the team only made it worse. 

     

    Basically what they did was turn a talented team that needed a few adjustments(mainly better coaching on the defensive side of the ball) and morphed it into a 3 year rebuild project....for no apparent reason. 

     

    Most fans(at least I think)will be on board this year no matter how many losses they rack up to close out the season, but if they don't start out hot in the 2018 campaign it will get ugly and once again the wheels will spin. 

    I see a decent team that made the right choice to salvage playoff chances this year..if TT remained the starter we probably finish 7-9 or 8-8. With Peterman, playoffs become a possibility again. Now, Peterman may suck and not lead us there. The exciting part is, there's a chance he does. With TT, there was no chance.
