Rocky Landing

I'm going to brag here. When he was signed in January, I said that if he makes the 53, he might be the best blocking WR we've ever had. I still believe this.

I assume you're being humorous. Be that as it may, Ray Ray got ample opportunity to earn his spot, and it doesn't seem like he has.

Fans do say such things every year, it's true. Personally, there's usually one, or two battles that I'm watching and care about. This year, there's quite a few more. More than any year I can remember.

The whole list is ridiculous. I'm sorry, but Lurker does not remember enough of Ed Rutkowski's three starts from over fifty years ago (whether he was there, or not) to draw an honest comparison to Peterman. Nor does he remember the one, and only game Brian McClure ever played in 1987 to draw an honest comparison. Clearly, he googled something like "worst Bills Quarterbacks," or something like that, and yanked some names off some list without a ton of thought. Google makes experts of us all.

I can't remember caring about the final cutdown quite as much as I do this season. So many camp battles with players that I am a fan of. The suspense is killing me!

Oh, yeah. I'm sure you remember the ONE GAME Brian McClure played in 1987 like it was yesterday, and can draw an honest comparison. Go ahead and double down. It doesn't make you any more believable.

Doubt he'd clear waivers.

I've said in other threads that I think it is not unlikely that they only go with five WRs. I think Duke performances in the last two games might make six more likely. I've been high on him since they signed him in January. Really happy for him. If the Bills don't put him on the 53, I suspect he will get signed elsewhere, and we will regret it.

I think the chances of them keeping seven are extremely slim.

Here's where the optimism of the Bills fans is boundless: So far, Duke has the same chance of making the roster as Brown, or Beasley.

Oh really? You have a lot of keen recollections of Joe Dufek's five starts from 1984, do you? And, I'm sure you remember saying to yourself, "ya know, that Ed Rutkowski just doesn't pass the eyeball test," back in 1968? Or, the scrubby back-up Bill Munson, who never actually started a game back in the late 70s? I'm sure you had your eyes glued on every snap he made. (Far better stats than Peterman, btw. Of course, all of the nobodies you googled had better stats than Peterman.) Seriously, I hate this sort of dishonest crap. (Perfect avatar, btw.)

I, for one, welcome our virtual overlords.

I would, too. But, I think there is a very slim chance they keep seven WRs.

I'm trying to get myself on track to be able to get myself ready to make a sandwich.

We should all pitch in and get him something special. Do they make Depends with the Bills logo? (you know, so he won't have to miss any plays...)

I'm going to disagree with you here. Not about the "yips," or whatever. But, about everything else. Peterman wasn't "thrown into the fire." At all. He started nine weeks into the season. He was game-planned to be the starter in that game. Nine weeks into the season, as the designated starter, there can be no excuse. And, he crapped the bed spectacularly. Allen, on the other hand, was thrown into the fire, in the first week of the regular season, after Peterman, again the designated starter, once again crapped the bed vs. the Ravens. If you want to call nine weeks into the season as the designated starter being "thrown into the fire," there's certainly no excuse a year, and two training camps into the system. If I was Gruden, I wouldn't waste my time holding this guy's hand to "take pressure off him," or "get him in slowly" three years into his NFL career.

The ball he will throw The cornerback he'll find Does he have a weak arm? Or just color blind? Peterman

These childish jokes Are heartless and cruel But the guy’s even worse Than Brian Brohm or Jeff Tuel Peterman

Actually, all you have to do is watch the second half of that game and you can see Tyrod Taylor (who ain't no Tom Brady!) lead the offense, and look like an actual NFL QB. It was night and day. Tyrod certainly wasn't great. But, Peterman absolutely crapped the bed.

Throughout training camp He’s Mr. “Can-Do” A preseason champ Wow… de ja vu… Peterman

Will this be Knox’s first touchdown?

Almost all of the above? But, my first choice would be Knox. I’d like to see Duke also, because I’m a fan of the signing, and I’d like to think he still has a chance at the roster. That may be dreaming, though... And, of course, Christian Wade. Who doesn’t want to see him? I hope he gets a few snaps early with the ones.

Los Angeles Wildcats. Finally, an LA team I can get behind.

I think Duke would fit nicely in Pittsburg.

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that in these preseason games, the starters (which is only for the first quarter, anyway), on both sides of the ball, and on both teams, move at about 3/4 speed. The starters are installing schemes, and working out kinks as a unit. That's why Jerry needs to be there. But, none of the starters, on either team, want to risk their season. It's after the depth players start playing that the game speeds up, and players really start hitting, and taking hits. These are guys that are fighting for a roster spot, and want to show the coaches everything they've got. I'm not sure if there is a stat for this, but I would suspect that the majority of injuries that happen in preseason games happen in the latter quarters.
