Yeah, totally disfunc... wait a minute... we’re the Bills!!!

Not sure why this needed its own thread, as this topic has been discussed, ad nauseum, in the “Peterman Starts” thread. Be that as it may, if people refuse to forget that performance, it’s because that’s what happens when you make history.

One would think if he was a "natural" right DE that he might have some success on the left side. He had maybe one decent play stopping the run. He was useless rushing the passer. USELESS. I don't believe he got around his man even once. He was stood up straight on every pass play. Sure, I get that he's better on the right side. But, how much better could he be? Better than Hughs? I doubt it! And, why on earth would Jerry Hughs be finished??? He's 30!

Shaq got stood up almost every play. I don't think he got past his man once. The only time he broke away from their RT was when the ball was handed off. Terrible.

??? Who the hell has said anything even close to that?

I opened up this thread and saw this post first, and immediately knew who it was referencing. Honestly, I think it’s a fan of some other team (Pats* maybe?) with a low self esteem, too much time on his hands, and not much imagination.

Oh, I don't know... there's a few people I would've like to have seen injured... (OK, relax, I'm just kidding!)

I'll say... yep.

Am I the only person alive who actually enjoys preseason games? (Today's sh*tshow notwithstanding.)

Welcome! I wish I could say you're not going to regret it...

Replying to this guy just makes you a fish on a hook. He is trolling.

...oh, please...

Davis looking better.

Our second team O-line might be better than our first.

You’re referring to his penalties, of course.

Newhouse is terrible.

Maybe.

Shaq is getting shut down. Can not get around his man. Not once.

Is Vontae really the second best corner we have???

Shaq look ok.

This offseason, I have come to the vague conclusion, that along with Nathan Peterman (a known commodity, that we've known sucks), AJ McCarron also sucks.

Is Preston just joking in that Bengal's Wire article when he says, "they don't like [Cordy] up there...?" I've never had that feeling, and PB is a notorious jokester. But, the context in that article made it seem like he wasn't necessarily joking. Personally, I always want former Bills players to succeed. Except against us, of course.

Congrats.

You need to take a step back from your narrative and really look at what you're saying. I've said since that day that the team played differently with Taylor than they did with Peterman. I've said since that day that they looked like a different team. The problem with your narrative is that you don't place any of that on Peterman, saying instead that the team was only willing to play for Taylor. So, I'll play your hypothetical within your narrative. But, I'm not going to go down the "Tom Brady" route. Instead, let's say we had Ryan Fitzpatrick back in the fold as our backup (that is, after all, what he is-- a career backup QB who will always be ready to take the reigns). It's week 11, against the Chargers, so he certainly has the playbook down, so there should be no excuses there. But, it is evident that the team is upset about the benching of Taylor. You're telling me that Fitz wouldn't have engaged the offense even before the game started to get them motivated to play? But, let's say that their poor attitude carries all the way over to the first offensive snap, and it is evident that the offense is not doing their jobs. Do you think that Fitz's leadership would have had no sway on that field? Do you think that Tom Brady's* leadership would have had no sway on that field? The problem with your narrative is that you won't allow any of the blame for the performance of the offense to land on its on-field leader. If the offense, itself, were playing far worse under Nate Peterman than they were under Tyrod Taylor (and, they were. I was at Stubhub Stadium that day) how is that not a poor reflection on Nate Peterman? The five interceptions only tell half the story. The offense looked like a different team because Peterman did not have a command over the offense. Well, the Patriots* better get rid of that bum, Tom Brady*. His 2017 completion percentage was only 66.3%.

You are correct. You have failed to explain your position. I highly doubt you have convinced anybody that the Bills offense was not capable of being led by any other QB than Tyrod Taylor, or that it didn't matter who was under center, or that leadership doesn't matter. And, thank goodness you are done trying.
