Billsfan1972

Meh is all I can say. The offense is a mess and no effort to really open it up and move the ball. Defense okay after being shredded mid-season. Fools Gold wins vs. Teams that one though were good, but are not (KC, Oakland, Denver, Atlanta & TB) and some when they were struggling. Wins then vs. Indy & the Jets...... As far as I'm concerned starting Peterman & not facing up to the debacle & that punt on Sunday were as dumb a coaching decisions as I can remember. Somehow though the playoffs still a possibility. And sorry this is as boring a team as there is in the NFL (as my crusade for a 300 yard passing game continues)....... Face it either drinking the McDermott koolaid or you aren't.

You can't argue...... You make 100% sense and still people will explain how you are wrong. Heck the post below explained that there was a good chance at a turnover, which Indy did not have one in the game...... But of course he liked the chances of one then.......

It was a stupid call, any weather conditions, anytime during the season and probably any score. The fact it was in a tie game in a 10 minute overtime where a win is 100% required and you have your emergency qb in. That Thompson catch was a gift and probably had a 10% chance of success given the elements and yet succeeded. For once the football gods took pity on the Bills.

And he still defends the Peterman start vs. LAC. Regardless it was 100% wrong and by some fluke it actually worked out....... May be a first for Buffalo.

Sorry on third and 8 and it is one's last chance I'd call a 35 yard pass into the wind by your emergency QB a hail mary...... The real question is if 4th & 8 would he have punted?

Not at all..... The season was on the line and the only reason it did work was that we completed a hail mary in the snow by their emergency qb..... A fg was not a given and the Bills got their two longest plays of the day on the drive. If Indy completes the pass to Hilton the Bills don't get the ball back. It was beyond stupid.

That is as ridiculous a statement as anyone can make. But keep banging that drum.

You can't be serious????

Look at the first possessions vs. NE in the third. NE scores and it is 16-3 (bad spot and no challenge thrown). Buffalo get's the ball & Tyrod completes his best pass of the day for 25-30 yards to Clay and called back on a penalty. 1st and 20 and the Bills still manage a first down. What are the next two calls???? Handoffs to Cadet for 4 yards and again stuck in a third & long...... What a waste of a Sunday..... Was there and thankfully the weather was great.

No he was the equal of Watkins and a steal we were told.......

The FO & coaching staff set up the offense to fail. As soon as they jettisoned Watkins the writing was on the wall. Matthews was traded and cost himself $10,000,000+...... A WR with skills is only as good as the QB throwing him the ball and the OC designing plays. This OC is clueless.

I was there today. No idea what happened on that pick and what Tyrod did. But then back to Dennison and terrible play calling again and again. No Down 16-3 a nice conversion after a 1st & 20 (negating a 30 yard pass) and Dennison calls two straight runs (and not Shady). A game requiring offense and again nothing from Dennison (except putting Webb in for some unknown reason).....

do you know how many 5th round or lower qb's have started in their rookie year? Or even ever get a start? I am saying Peterman is not ready and if he never is it will not be a surprise, a stretch, out of the ordinary or something 95% of NFL fans would care about. That is very different from a first round pick that eventually has to play based on the investment made.

And a polarizing figure as are all short Bill QB's. No just was no where near ready and thrust in to what most people thought was a very important game vs. a 3-6 team that the Bills needed to win. Some bought the crap McDermott spewed "Best Chance to succeed & NFL Ready......". Anyone rational knew otherwise and frankly did get great joy seeing the results. It was the best possible outcome, because if Peterman lost 33-13 and threw for 220 with 3 Ints, he probably would have earned the start vs. KC....... No do not need to see more of him 'til 2018 pre-season if ever.....

You're missing the point. No one is blaming Peterman. I'm blaming the coaching staff for pretending he was ready and calling plays he wasn't capable of converting. Dennison hung him out to dry due to his hubris.

Brees and Wilson lasted longer then they should have for one reason (maybe two for Wilson) because they were short. Dennison coaching Watson. That would have been a disaster.

At 14-3 he Thomson at the 26 on a 35 yard pass that he dropped. On third and 2 before half 17-3 Dennison called a draw to Tolbert. The second half a 26 yard passed was called back on a holding penalty, clay bobbled and then was intercepted and NO ran 24 straight draw plays!!!! Yes blame it all on 9-18 & 56 yards. No he wanted him to throw for 300 and say "I told you so".

How about throwing the ball and a strategy to amass 400+ yards/game, vs. eating clock and playing the game between the 30's and hoping the DX holds the opposing team under 16 points?

And Peterman would win zero and I'd be a rich rich man betting on the Pats and the points.....

How about them going into a game with the expectation and game plan to throw for 300 yards? If Taylor fails miserably you are right. Not a single is their expressed purpose to air it out and thus very team stacks the line and awaits to stuff the Bills. The only time it appeared they had that game plan was when Peterman was at qb, as if to prove a point.

This was Oakland and then on 3rd & 2 we ran again and were stopped. An easy play action was the call on that play. The good news was Oakland was inept and the Bills up 13 (not 3 or 6)......

SO the Bills need to move the ball...... I'm sure Dennison is right on it. Pretty simple stat that is way above our coaches pay grade.

Enough about the Saints....... We get it. Watch the playcalling..... Not much opportunity there (and 24 straight runs by NO all chunks of 8-14 yards). Thompson dropped a 35 yard pass on third and one and also botched a 3rd & 2 prior to the half on a terrible run call to Tolbert. The game was still close at that point (14-3 & 17-3). The three possessions in the third were terrible and Peterman played the 4th...... Included again..... (9:10 - 3rd) (Shotgun) T.Taylor pass short right to C.Clay to BUF 48 for 25 yards (K.Crawley) [A.Okafor]. Caught at BUF 29, slanting from middle. Penalty on BUF-D.Thompson, Offensive Holding, offsetting, enforced at BUF 23 - No Play. Penalty on NO-A.Okafor, Roughing the Passer, offsetting. 2nd and 12 at BUF 23 (8:48 - 3rd) (Shotgun) T.Taylor pass incomplete deep right to L.McCoy. Overthrown, receiver along sideline at BUF 40. 3rd and 12 at BUF 23 (8:29 - 3rd) (Shotgun) T.Taylor pass short middle intended for C.Clay INTERCEPTED by S.Rankins at BUF 30. S.Rankins to BUF 3 for 27 yards (J.Mills). Pass

Fine.... Then he's stoopid...... Pretty damn obvious watching the games and that he was in agreement (or pushed) to start Peterman. Irrefutable evidence imo........

No Dennison is useless and has done everything he can to undermine Taylor & the offense. To see him come out slinging with Peterman (after the first two runs) and the disaster with every ensuing possession (save 2 runs back to back for a TD), told me exactly where Dennison stood.
