Absolutely. You're always hamstrung when you have poor QB play. That offense was all about McCoy and Gilislee. 30th in passing, 1st in rushing.

Getting half your stats for a game in the last 6 minutes of a game that the other team has given up on doesn't count. If it does that means "garbage time" for Peterman was just as meaningful. Sorry but Tyrod has been crap all year. 1st in 3 and outs. 30th in passing offense. That's on Tyrod.

Peterman is starting because he presents the best opportunity to win some games and get to the playoffs. Your worst game of your career should not come nearly 3 seasons into starting. Tyrod has regressed every year. They brought in Dennison who Tyrod is very familiar with and installed a system that he knows well to give him an opportunity to take that next step and it didn't happen. Plain and simple. If you actually watch him play, with your own two eyes, you'll see that he just isn't ever going to be good enough. In fact I am shocked that a fan base, who has been exposed to absolutely awful QB play for nearly 20 years now, can't identify a dud when they see it. I think in preseason they identified who the better QB was. But McDermott's mind told him it was "just preseason." Now more than half way through the season, he has seen first hand that his gut feeling was right all along. Play the kid, see what he's got. And to all of you that hate the move, let's put it this way. If we're going to lose, let's make it productive. We have a plethora of draft picks and a lot of holes. What if Peterman is good or great? We have an absolute great chance of fixing much of what is wrong with this team. If Peterman is bad, then we go into full on rebuild mode. We trade a bunch of capital to draft a QB high in the first. Unfortunately, this is the reality of this franchise right now, and I thought people would've recognized it during the absolute purge of players in the offseason and beyond.

Dennison is limited with the personnel he has at two key positions. QB and RB2. They made one change but I think the offense will still struggle with Tolbert as the RB2. I mean seriously, what a damn joke that is. They would have been smart to sign a second back with this QB switch.

Ah, you're one of those. Carry on then.

Number 1 in the league in 3 and outs. Anyone paying attention has noticed. I think a lot of people here watch poor quality streams and listen to the radio. Anyone that's at the stadium is probably too drunk to even pay attention to the game. There's only a small segment of Bills fans that actually watch the games and understand what's happening.

Dennison doesn't make personnel decisions bud. But anyways.

Obviously, he needs to recognize the personnel available to him and adjust but in Dennison's defense, what team doesn't have an actual backup running back? And with how often Shady gets "knicked up?" Pretty ridiculous.

He doesn't have to. That's the beauty of America.

Tyrod Taylor WITHOUT his garbage time vs. the Jets over the past two games. 239 yards passing 9 sacks 1 INT 2 FUM (1 lost) 1 TD That is the entire Jets game (minus last 6:42 which was garbage time) and the entirety of what he played in New Orleans. 30th in passing offense. 24th in touchdowns. 27th in first downs. 24th in yards per attempt. That's awful.

Abysmal. For reference, Dougie's team has 35 sacks. Top 10 all over 25.

If they had 6 in one game, that means they've had a total of 8 sacks in 8 games...

Past few games? We're 2nd to last in sacks. No edge rushers to speak of and a very weak linebacking corps.

Weird that people valued a guy that was barely playing to begin with.

I love how everyone keeps throwing around garbage time. I'm pretty sure Taylor saw a bunch of garbage time in the Saints game and he was still going no where. So even there, you have an apples to apples comparison and Peterman did more in two drives than Tyrod did the whole game.

McDermott doesn't care if you trust him, he only asks that you trust The Process.

Doesn't matter, they can control what they can control. Right now they've got a guy coming off the bench that stands to help the team win. And hey, if the defense doesn't have to play for 43 out of the 60 minutes, they might hold up.

Doesn't matter where you're picked, once you're in, you're in. Peterman has probably been out practicing Tyrod and certainly looks poised to outplay him. To watch the last two games and think we are contending for anything but a top 10 pick is asinine.

Doesn't matter if they have a book or not, what matters is if they can use it to stop you. Every team knows HOW to stop even Brady, but it's matter of executing that plan. Very few have been able to.

So little, if any?

I'm not buying it. Every other Bills player offered the same or more money in the offseason bolted. He wasn't going to be a starter anywhere else, that's why he stayed. We were the only ones willing to say "You'll come into camp as the starter." I don't care what the media says, he just isn't good.

He shopped around last year and came up snake eyes. Now with even more terrible performances under his belt people think he will be in the mix to start somewhere else? Get the fork out.

Too many excuses for Tyrod. And this system is the system he learned behind Flacco. This should have been fairly easy for him and I would bet that Dennison was not even McDemott's first choice for OC, it was probably more about giving Tyrod an opportunity to succeed. Tyrod has never looked comfortable as a passer. His decision making is too slow, always has been. The line hasn't been the problem in my eyes. They aren't great but there are plenty of plays where Tyrod is getting more than 5 seconds. Another big thing is you never see Tyrod check at the line. A lot of QBs recognize pressure and make the adjustments at the line. Nate might fail miserably, but he could also look above average. He compares to Alex Smith but I think his football IQ is higher than Alex's was at the same point in their careers.

He can't read defenses. Even after 7 years in the NFL.

There's two things we can fix right now. Start Peterman, blitz on defense.
