You of all people should know Tyrod covered that up.

I'd say most to all the moves they made this year had been in preparation for the future. Also while trying to keep it together this year and stay competitive. Yes the production lost this year hurt but hey people still talking playoffs so was it really that bad? If you think about this level headed you still have to like it even though it's painful right now. We we're taken very seriously until the Jets game happened. Everyone was on McDermott's jock until 5-2 went downhill.

It kills me every time playoffs is mentioned now. The Mathematics!!!! If you can believe the playoffs are still a go you surely can stretch yourself to call Peterman franchise right now.

I agree with the point that the playoff drought has caused people to over react. When you put the word drought into every opinion it loses its power. What I would say is quit living in the past. Nate had a bad game. He made bad choices. Was way over aggressive with the ball. The anti Tyrod if you will. I wouldn't just toss him away like trash but he needs more work. Not a finished product. Not deserving of his own song just yet. I rewrote the Peterman song in my head. After the first 2 interceptions I was like good now it's out of your system and.... Nope ok now it's out of your system and... Nope.

You should have made this into a poll. I agree with you but it would of been fun to see the results.

I can't argue with that. Not enough time has passed to really judge in my view. I'm not negative on this regime and honestly I love the bold moves all year. It was sad to see the 5-2 start like dust in the wind but at least I got the excitement out of it. We have the ammunition this year so no better time to fire shots in the next draft. I still have a feeling Tyrod can be acceptable with serious talent around him but I would definitely love to have an elite franchise quarter back and finally put all the debates to rest at that position. Hopefully the message board experts paint a good picture of who the Bills are likely to draft and all the info around these players. I'm looking forward to reading it all.

Fortune favors the bold. I know that sitting on your hands isn't an answer either. I definitely would not be against trading up if the proper home work is done. I wouldn't want them to do it just to do it. I think I am more worried because I have seen what a calculated risk looks like to this regime. I think it's me more concerned with who they choose then the actual move to trade up to grab some one. I'm not trusting the ability of risk management 5 interceptions later. Thats the reason for my real hot take.

You are correct. The post was directed more at drafting. I really have no strong opinions other than if they trade up I hope they are right because it's doom if not. No one can explain away using multiple picks to move up and not landing the franchise QB. Also this is Buffalo so I am assuming most likely that rookie starts sooner then later because we will have a same type of year dumpster diving for a QB to play bridge unless it's Tyrod and a whole year of is he good enough debate. Coach has already made the call to throw in a rookie early. Second time this happens and its the wrong call it will get ugly fast I think. No matter how it plays out. If I agree or not I will hope for the best.

My hot take is you build around Tyrod and Shady with every last pick you got. Not against getting a QB in the draft but trading up and getting the wrong guy would be very ugly. I don't think people ever ask themselves in a realistic way how they would feel if we traded up and got a horrible QB.

I enjoyed the 5-2 start. I enjoyed the wins. The last three games were about as bad as you can get so I understand feeling down on the Bills. It would be easy to just start following the Patriots and feel like winners. I can't leave my team. They like a kid you have that isn't perfect but you love them anyway. Still bail them out of jail even while saying how stupid they are. Am I wrong thinking if this team had a losing season everybody would be more relaxed touting the moniker "rebuild"? That the real reason for the hurt is missing the playoffs because we in a drought and that's all that matters? The new regime is getting dumped to early in my view.

The Bills have never really committed to Tyrod so this shouldn't be a shocker to you. A contract restructuring for less money and let him test the market doesn't scream commitment in my book. He also didn't even commit to his decision to let Nate start because he pulled him at halftime. Don't worry Tyrod will be back but our defense will probably play so bad that we lose anyway. You would at least think benching Tyrod in the first place would be a huge clue that they were not committed to Tyrod. Couldn't be more clear at this point but.... Keep hanging on to that 6th seed. That last Ray of hope even though before we even started Nate the team was getting destroyed or at least was in a serious decline so keep thinking the QB change made that much of a difference or really would now.

I was wrong about the Jets game. I thought the bills defense was the best. I usually go to my dad's house to see the Bills games but I skipped going for the Saints game and I would have skipped the Chargers game but after the QB change I didn't wanna miss it. That leads me to the second thing I was wrong about. Starting Nate Peterman and Tyrod being a big factor to the Bills having no passing game. If Tyrod sucks it's amazing he can do anything at all. Not bashing Nate. I didn't expect Nate to have that bad of a game. I was hoping the streaker would get out of Jail in time to save the Chargers game but I was wrong about that too, bail must of been a lot. We all should of donated.

You wouldn't have pulled Nate Peterman out after halftime if your plan was to keep him as your starter in my view. If you wanted him as your starter then you stay the course and ride those ups and downs. In his own words he said a lot of rookies are playing and you ride those ups and downs. With Nate it wasn't done. You pulled him scared. I agree with others. If you put Nate in you stay through it. If you do pull him then you don't do it after it has gotten so bad there is no hope Tyrod can turn it around.

Isn't a playoff team usually supposed to be very good? Wasn't the stomping from the Jets enough to make anyone stop and really consider after a beat down like that we probably won't make the playoffs? Wasn't it crystal clear after the Saints absolutely dominated the bills? Put Nate stuff aside and didn't the defense get dominated by the Chargers? Would that still make you think we are playoff bound? The numbers say yes we could make it but the teams play says no. Just a heads up the Bills won't make the playoffs this year.

The playoff hopes we're over after the Jets to anybody who could see how bad the team was destroyed by the Jets. I guess if you want to get technical yes they still could make it. I wouldn't bet money on it and I wouldn't have after the Jets game. Would you have?

I understand that sentiment. Living on a dream. I just did that on Sunday. Now my opinion is that we should build around Tyrod and Shady with every last pick. I know that's not a popular view most likely but I do have reasons in my mind as to why.

I thought a lot about it. I think some fans including myself got thinking maybe the grass is greener on the other side. To be honest the entire offence with Taylor at the wheel has had some stalled games this year and last. They also had some impressive and exciting games. It seemed like most games fell in the middle or slightly below an average. Not everyone needed the Nathan Peterman experiment. I did need it. I don't regret it. I would do it again the exact same way. At this point I would not try it again. Not because Nate threw 5 interceptions. I didn't see Nate flash himself as a player. Forget any negative and try to see a positive. I was not able to myself maybe others did. The experiment lead me to a conclusion. I like Tyrod Taylor. I like him a lot. The guy has been loyal, took a pay cut for my team and maybe not lived up to everyones standards but he was doing the best to win with the talent we have and the plays we run. I turned my back on Tyrod and I was very wrong. Now I'm left with the hard truth. It's more then just a QB. Call it lack of talent or bad execution. Call it bad coaching or horrible management. I don't know what caused such a hard fall after the Jets game but something is seriously wrong. Thanks for the wins though I enjoyed them. Well how I feel now you absolutely put Taylor back in. Not only that but you keep next year and build around Taylor and Shady with every draft pick you got. I understand if people disagree.

Despite being benched the man had his helmet on ready to come in. I would not be upset if he was our starter next year with the draft used to build around him. That is why I am happy he was benched. It really made me appreciate the guy a lot more when I seen the alternative. Also he was firing more bullets. It might of been a good wake up call to him to play safe but not so safe it's boring.

One thing that earned my respect for Tyrod Taylor is how he had his helmet on at the start of this game. Nate definitely made me appreciate Tyrods play a little bit more. I still wish he would just let the ball rip. I also still think we lose today if he started. This defense has completely fallen apart. I've been down on his play lately but I'm having second thoughts about him. Crazy thoughts about building around him next year....

That's how I felt as well. The game was over. Tyrod wasn't coming back from that far behind. It's an insult to both of them and yourself as a head coach. Titanic man go down with your ship. I wasn't mad he made a risky move that blew up in his face. I was mad that they pulled the kid like it would make a difference then throw in the guy you just benched in a game that's already over.

For me it was over after the Jets game. That was when I knew it wasn't happening this year. If that wasn't enough then maybe getting crushed the week after should of let most people know that it wasn't happening. If you still have hope after today we'll... enjoy it.

He definitely has egg on his face today. Oh please don't count out the Carolina Panthers game in bad offensive games. It kinda bugs me that people mention NO like it was the only bad offensive game. We scored 3 points in that game. Yes the move to Peterman was a bad move and looks awful but I can understand why he tried it. Tyrod is the better Quarterback no doubt but he still got smacked and coughed the ball up himself today.

It's easy to be right about the bills if you predict the worst outcome every time.

How did Tyrod play in the Carolina Panthers game?

I feel the same way. I was in favor of the change. That had to hurt his confidence.
