BillsFan130

Don't remember the last part you are referring to, but I'm sure you are correct. I just remember being one of the most heart breaking games I have ever seen

I’m going to miss Gruden in the booth. There was a lot of hate on him, but I personally found him hilarious

I still don’t understand how the Bills lost that cowboys game lol

For sure. I’m not going to criticize him too much for the decision.

He was bad for sure, which is why he made the change. I'm just saying I cant see him switching TT when they are in the middle of a playoff race just to send him a message. Mcd is doing everything in his power to win that game at LA, and he obviously thought Peterman gave them a better chance to win. (Although that clearly wasn't the case)

Lol I don’t know man. They were 5 and 4 in the middle of a playoff race. That wasn’t a time to “send a message “. He just got the decision wrong. He of course thought Peterman would give their offence a boost

I agree most of your points there, except the Big Ben comparison. We will just agree to disagree on that one haha. But no, I can't say I blame Mcd for trying something different as TT was ineffective. But at the same time, it kind of was a head scratcher how he thought Peterman would be ready for a tough LA defence on the road. It ended up being the wrong decision, but Bills weren't going to beat the Chargers with TT anyways. In regards to Peterman, the odds are for sure stacked against him as he is a 5th round pick with a limited skill set, but you never know I guess.

How exactly was Mcd right? Im not going to bash him for trying Peterman because TT wasn’t getting It done, but in hindsight the move to start Peterman was clearly wrong. He even admitted he was wrong by going back to TT the next week

I am not writing off Peterman. I’m saying he wasn’t ready to be put in that chargers game. And yes I understand your points but I don’t agree with the comparisons at all. Here is why... 1. Ben has won 2 Super Bowls and is extremely accomplished. Therefore there is absolutely no concern about whether he should have started that bad game /whether he should start the rest of the season 2. Peterman has accomplished nothing. When a 5th round rookie has a historically bad half in his first game, that tells me he wasn’t even close to being ready. So ya people can look away when Ben has a bad game because he’s a very accomplished vet. There is absolutely no concern about whether he will bounce back or not. People are going to have a harder time looking the other way when a 5th round rookie gets plugged into a game in which he had no business being in, and completely crapped the bed. Do you not understand that massive difference? I am not saying Peterman is a bust. I’m simply saying he is not ready yet, and he had no business playing that game. I don’t think one person in Pittsburgh was calling for Landry jones to start against Jax, or after bens bad game. If you don’t understand that, I really don’t know what to tell you lol

If Nate Peterman wins 2 Super Bowls for the Bills, and has 1 bad game for the Bills in which a season they finish 13 and 3, I think Bills fans would give him a little slack...... don’t you think?.. Once again you are confusing an accomplished vet who had a bad game vs. A rookie who was completely lost out there and has accomplished nothing yet in this league. I don’t understand your comparison at all

Yes I would say a 14 year vet was ready and prepared, he just had a bad game. He’s seen ever single defence and knows what coordinators want to do to him. Hard to judge Petermans game against the colts. Number 1, the Colts have the worst pass defence in Football Number 2, that game was a blizzard and any game plan they had on Peterman goes out the window because of the conditions. There really isn’t an argument about that game against LA. He was way over his head against a tough defence on the road. Im really not sure how you can state otherwise. He arguably had the worst half for a QB in NFL history

You’re missing your own point here. I understand you’re saying bad things can happen and great qbs can have bad games as well. But when Ben has a bad game does anyone question whether he was ready to play? Does anyone question the coach for starting him? Does anyone question whether he will start the next week or the remainder of the year? With all due respect, your analogy with Ben was not a good one at all. You are comparing apples and oranges here . Every single great QB has had terrible games. I don’t think anyone is arguing that if that’s your main point . Theres a massive difference when a 5th round rookie gets thrown into a game in which he clearly wasn’t ready for vs. A future hall of famer who just had a bad game

But she’s soo good looking ... lol

For sure. He’s done a nice job and not taking anything away from him. Was Just saying there will probably be 3 to 4 coaches ahead of him in terms of coach of the year

Ya that’s another option as well

It won't matter though. He is not going to win it. Mcvay, Pederson, and probably Zimmer will all be ahead of him in my opinion Rams had 4 wins last year. Mcvay completely changed their team. He was even calling plays for Goff at the line

Problem for Mcd is he took a 7 win team to a 9 win team. Which is good, but not great. Mcvay took a 4 win team to what, a 11 win team? Probably 12 if he doesn't rest his starters. Whoever wins coach of the year generally has one of the biggest turnarounds in terms of wins and losses. And 7 to 9 wins won't be enough. And rightfully so in my opinion as Mcvay has done wonders with that turnaround

You can`t compare a future hall of fame QB who had a bad game, to a 5th round rookie who was put in when he wasn't ready... It`s completely different. If Nate Peterman had even half of Ben`s resume, he would have probably started the 2nd half that game, and would 100 percent be starting the week after

Wood kind of has to say that though. Especially being one of the leaders of the team What's he supposed to say? Mcd is an idiot who completely got it wrong? Haha

Ya He really is. If they didn’t have him, I don’t think they would have beat Atlanta and Denver

Can only beat who they play on their schedule. They were inarguably one of the hottest teams to end of the year winning 9 of 12 and 6 of 7. Would have been a dangerous team in the playoffs

Losses to at New England and at Jacksonville, both by 1 score or less. LA was much better than their 3-6 record, and it showed finishing 9-7. 9-3 in their last 12 games, and a lot of those wins were blowouts

Bills would have got crushed with TT as well, but how could you possibly say TT would be worse? Peterman had one of the worst half's in NFL history. Maybe the worst

I hope you’re right. But bills offence vs Jags defence? Not liking that matchup at all lol

Was he clapping profusely after buying you lunch? If so, then it had to be Mcd
