I agree, there is no way the Pegulas can even contemplate a switch. But the damage of that Peterman decision has the potential to cast a shadow over everything McD does from here on out. I just can't see how the locker room isn't lost after such a huge mistake by a rookie head coach, especially coming off three straight embarrassments. I guess we can just sit back and see how this plays out over the next 2 seasons, but personally, what I witnessed yesterday was shocking and very worrisome.

Because Peterman has no business on an NFL field, and the fallout from that decision had been severe and threatens to undermine McD's coaching tenure. How can the team have faith in anything McD says now? How can the Pegulas feel good about giving so much power to a guy who misjudged a players readiness and talent so badly?

The roster moves you listed are hard to argue with, I don't have an issue with those moves. But the hair on fire reactions are due to the inept coaching. The D is god awful, the O scheme is laughable and the decision to start Peterman is one of the biggest missteps I can think of for any head coach. So you have some good roster moves and pathetic coaching, when is it alright to panic or write McD off?

I appreciate the point you are making but think it misses the mark in this situation. Peterman is so bad that you can't equate throwing him in there to going for it on 4th and 2. After seeing how completely inept and unprepared Peterman is the equivalent scenario would be going for it on 4th and 50 from your own goal line in a game that you are winning. The result of that decision is epic...the Bills regain their standing as the joke of all pro sports, our 1st year head coach undoubtedly lost the team, Peterman is probably ruined and the fan base is disgusted. If McD thought Peterman was prepared for an NFL start, what does that say about the man who has been given more power than any coach in recent memory? Let me answer that....he is clueless. Same old Bills.

Not his first choice but Dennison and his ancient philosophies that didn't fit the personnel were still hired.

Unfortunately McD will get another season, maybe two, based solely on the perception factor. But McD lost the locker room this week, and most of the fan base too. This misstep is so huge that I don't see him ever recovering, and I am not trying to be dramatic. Benching a respected leader and QB who has you in a playoff spot for a rookie that comes out with the worst performance EVER (in the merged league) is a fireable offense.

The Bills can't fire McD and Beane...they would look like more of a joke than they already do, which at this point is pretty !@#$ing hard to do. But 10 games into the tenure and I already have seen all I need to....these guys are in way over their heads. The D is pathetic, and that is supposed to be McD's strong suit. Hiring Dennison to run a WCO with his stupid zone blocking scheme should be a fireable offense.

The coaching staff is pathetic... How could the coaches expect a different result with that brutal O-line? I tried to get behind the move but it just made no sense to me with this team still fighting for a playoff spot. If there were a few hold outs on this team that hadn't quit on McD, I think it is safe to say they have seen the light.

Peterman playing the "God" card... Well let me play the Zeppelin card, "crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good."

"Gotta push through it"

Schopp mentioned it in passing...but he said it was the worst QB performance since the merger, for all QBs...not just rookies. That is crazy to think about, and has to worry everybody with respect to McD's thought process.

Who cares? BTW, Schopp just said that statistically Peterman's performance is the worst QB performance since the merger. Think about that.

Your wife is wayyyy nicer than mine. All I hear is, "why don't you spend your time fixing (insert any item here) instead of wasting it on those losers?"

I thought last game was rock bottom... Leaving the stadium early in the 3rd quarter with thousands of other depressed fans after that 5-2 start was a pretty low moment. This game is worse. This game has me questioning McD and the entire regime. I think the new boss is the same as the old boss... Which means another 2-3 years of garbage before we get to try again.

As if this couldn't be worse....Richard Sherman is roasting McD on twitter, Richard &^&%^%& Sherman.

I need a Gordon TD here....

I feel bad for Peterman....McD is a moron and hung this kid out to dry.

81-17 in the last 6 quarters....

You forgot no D...

This is comical....can't even catch a slightly low snap.

I just don't understand why McD would keep Peterman out there...is he not worried about losing this team?

This is the worst start I have ever seen for a QB....

If Peterman comes back out there I will not trust the process any longer.

Will McD continue with the kid or wise the &*^%&^%&^ up?
