Don't forget the flip-side of this argument....
If we get in, it's that Indy penalty PI call on the 2-pt play that screws over the other teams... Not to mention any of the freak plays/calls that caused losses to Titans/Ravens/Chargers...
Need to lay him out, but within the rules.
No helmet to helmet, don't take out his knees, just rock him when going across the middle....
Easier said than done, but a cheap shot makes you look bad.
ok...? I'd assume the same rules to the stat count for every other team.
Basically my point..... insert a a pocket-passer, and he's not inheriting a top-5 rushing attach.
Nope
Week 15 - Win
Week 16 - Lose = must win with help from others going into week 17
Week 17 - All necessary help from other teams goes our way but we lose.
This information is fun and interesting... but no way should anyone create any sort of opinion to either the GM or coach based on this report... Impossible to prove the validity let alone context of these statements.
My point was, he made a very poor (macho/emotional) decision for basically zero gain. To win in the NFL, you can't have a qb who doesn't understand their own limitations. Which is.. you can't (and shouldn't) take on 3 defenders head first for a potential 1-yard gain. IMO Peterman hasn't shown that he can make a distinction between a turn-over vs. punting when in the heat of the moment.
Peterman needed to show that he is capable of playing smart.
His decision to take on 3x defenders and dive head first for a potential 1-yard gain tells me he is not ready to win in the NFL today. If he were to start, it wouldn't shock me for him to look decent at times and make some good tough throws... however I'd be more surprised if he doesn't cough up at least 1-fumble and 1-pick. Tough to get the W against in a tough division game.
Tyrod has to start if you're serious about making the playoffs this year.
Baltimore losing may actually have hurt our chances...
Our game against NE had a chance to be 'meaningless' for the Pats... this would also have required NE beating the Steelers next week as well.
Anyone want to guess at the Pats win% at home in games to clinch the division or best conference record? Could get ugly.
There are games that at the time won't technically be considered a 'must-win'... however after our loss to the Jets, the Bills playoff drought was extended.
I believe we've got 10-picks. I guess 10 rookies making up their 53 man roster seems tough to justify, also unlikely that that many could even make the team.
I definitely expect this type of move... and it makes me a little nervous because we really don't have any way to gauge how good this new regime will be at evaluating college talent and making their own draft picks. Since last year's draft was evaluated by Whaley.
The Bills actually have 'too many' draft picks next year to realistically sign so many rookies. So I definitely expect some sort of wheeling and dealing. It will definitively continue to support another exciting off-season in Buffalo.
When the Patriots had their undefeated season.... I told everyone that I'd rather the Bills never win a super bowl in order for the Patriots to lose that game...
Disgree. I love the fact that he's never content. I think you stick with a guy that works as hard as he does so long as we keep seeing improvements.
I honestly expected 40pts from the PATs. 24 pts from a team who's offense was so pitiful is a huge improvement compared the Jets/Sains/Chargers performances.
