Jags look tough today. But, you never know...that is why they play the games. It appears to me as the line play will favor the Jags both ways.

Looney tunes thread.

Great Gordon Lightfoot song....Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald........

The overall mishandling of the QB position for the whole of the season necessitated keeping Peterman and using him as well. There always should have been a fourth QB....and trading the third QB was an act of total stupidity.......would have been ok if there were even a guy on the practice squad. So, then we were down to two guys....and the fiasco rolled out. Not like we haven't lived this before....I remember Jeff Tuel starting a few years ago...undrafted free agent he...even Marrone, in his stuborness was smart enough to get off that train as fast as he could. Mc D and Bean are culpable here....and showed rookie GM and Coach mistakes here.

Thurman Thomas was a third down back late in his career, and that is the route Shady should go....he is a good receiver, and still can run pretty well. My problem is he is making a hell of a lot of money....not sure he is worth $9mil next year. $5 maybe, but not $9.

Not only is the answer NO, it is not even close. The team has regressed in several areas...O line, tight end play, receivers on the offensive side (ignoring the QB issues as obvious) The D has played well, but, really the rookie in the middle lb job isn't the run plugger Brown was.....and the CB position has been a dumpster fire for most of the season so far. Bills desperately trying to find someone who can play cb. Yes, Taron Johnson looks like a 3d cb, but, EJ Gaines replacement has not been found imho.

Somebody who wanted a three or four year guarnateed contract worth $5mil a year. (see Rex Ryan example, not that the Pegs are in Jerry's intrusive class)

this season is over for all intents and purposes. So, its a good time for Allen to polish skills, learn the game with OJT. Maybe, just maybe he will be ready next year then. He is not ready now based on what we have seen to date. He is a stud out there, and I like him on the hoof, but he needs to show QB finess and accuracy in running the team before we go all in for the next decade.

Actually, Jeff Tuel was as bad, but he got a relative quick hook, Marrone was more impatient. Actually, the criticism of the broadcast team for the Chicago game was very pointed in this regard.....maybe they got the idea there.

Ahhhh, we are not mathematically out, I guess, but maybe....anyhow, realistically we are completely out of it.....smell the coffee!!

Bowles looked like a cold fish on the sidelines....no passion. Didn't get in the players faces at all. Must be accepting he is done or something like that. Bills get Jets again next month in Orchard Park, Bowles may or may not be with them.

Foster needs to do the Marv Levy thing...with the postcards. One year, I don't remember the receivers name, Marv came to the guy after the season and handed him a stack of postcards addressed to Marv. Marv told him to have somebody throw him 100 balls each day during the off season. And, Marv wanted the kid to write down how many he caught that day and mail the card to him. Allegedly fixed the kids hands that off season. Foster needs his hands fixed!!!

Marrone will be load for bear when the Jags arrive. And, we get to see Mr Big Puff one more time.

Best QB play we have seen this year. That is indicative of a front office that seriously blew it managing that position in 2018. Beane needs to learn. The whole Petermann fiasco reminds of the Jeff Tuel fiasco of not to many years ago. Front offices that churn management result in management that does not know the lessons of the past. Put Bean in that category, and maybe McD as well. Meanwhile, we the fans, see all the mistakes over and over. Barkley , right now, is the best QB the Bills have.....Allen is not ready....but, should play again this year for developmental reasons. Barkley is now odds on to be the #2 QB next year imho. And, Mr Bean, we need a 3d QB to be either on roster or practice squad next year. I would even go for a fourth, and promise not to critize that decision. No more Petermann / Tuel fiasco's. (they avoided that criticism last year with the use of Joe Webb)

Sometimes young men need to learn how to play hard. Maybe he is a pro now.......I was hoping I would never see him again as he was bad in prior appearances. But, I was wrong, he has potential. And, credit to those coaches who saw the prior crew of receivers need jacking up. Couple of faster guys in there certainly helps.

Depends if Allen's arm is alive and well. He hasn't thrown in a couple of weeks. Maybe taking a little time getting back in playing condition is the right thing.

Unprofessional behavior gets the same in return. so be it, the money talks. I am ok with that....as I understand the system. I also dropped my season tickets because of the management mess in the Bills organization which continues under new owners. In this case, my money walks........

Peterman has another problem. He is a national laughingstock. Even the Wall Street journal, of all media outlets, had an article on how bad he is as a QB. He can't last in the league with that kind of press.https://www.wsj.com/articles/playing-quarterback-looks-easier-than-ever-nathan-peterman-still-makes-it-look-hard-1541161499

JUst watched an ESPN show, the one with the old man, his son and another sports caster out of Miami. They were showing crazy plays from last weekend of football. They showed a play from East Carolina'Applichian State I think, where the QB threw the ball, hit the receiver in the helmet...ball went up in the air and was pick 6ed. Question was ask what would happen to the QB.....the answer was he would be drafted by the Bills. We are a national laughing-stock.

Even the Wall Street Journal is down on Peterman. https://www.wsj.com/articles/playing-quarterback-looks-easier-than-ever-nathan-peterman-still-makes-it-look-hard-1541161499?mod=hp_major_pos27

All the rest of EJ's bad throws were 10 yards off target, so far off that the DB's didn't have a chance either. Peterman is more accurate by far....weak arm, but more accurate. Neither measures up however.

A couple of those picks today were loony tunes, and on the receivers. The receiver corp is worse than the QB's...and both are bottom 5 in the league.

Yes, just not another noddle arm like Peterman.

I liked Prior out of college.....had a smile on my face when I recalled he was a QB at Ohio State. Since we just signed him.....he could play as a QB instead of receiver. This is at least as logical as anything the front office has done about the QB situation. Retreads, retreads, retreads....and one banged up prospect.

I have thought of this.....NFL career record (he can't last much longer) for highest percentage int's. He is already over 10% I think..... Seems like the front office could not have managed this any worse if they tried. We sure could use McCarron now. And, where is Joe Webb when you need him. I have heard Jeff Tuel is also available.
