I have no idea, probably not many; but there are plenty of 1st round flops too. Peterman came in as "the most NFL ready QB". Here's to hoping!

Wasn't Brady a 7th round pick? Not to say you are wrong, but EJ was a first round pick and where did that get us?

I expected a strong response after the Jets. If they get steamrolled again, MCD better make a change at QB if only to do something different.

Two weeks ago the offense wasn't quite so anemic and had drives that gave the defense a break.

That's a very good point and we will see how well Rico can (or cannot) coach.

Lets be real, Belichick would not have benched Bledsoe for Brady if Bledsoe was healthy. By the time Bledsoe was Brady was showing his skill and Belickick has no choice. I do not blame McD for sticking with Tyrod. It is what coaches do and do anything less would hurt his credibility with the team. But to be stubborn about it would be wrong too. I would think he keeps Tyrod on a short leash Sunday. If the Bills cannot get the offense moving after at least the 1st quarter, I would expect him to insert Peterman for a series or two. If he does well, you keep him going. If he gets the game result, you pull him out and put Tyrod back in. Peterman gets valuable experience without throwing him to the wolves; and Tyrod gets some time on the bench to hopefully smolder. I said this in another post, if the Bills lose and go to 5-5 any dreams of the playoffs are going to be figuratively lost. They traded for Benjamin, they gave the signal they want to win now. McD shuffles in players all game without regard to "starters"; why shouldn't he hold the same philosophy for the QB?

True, but there are limits to that in your first year. Consider the team Marv started with wasn't the same one on the field in 1990.

I am willing to give McD a pass for this season as this is what he inherited. After this year with a new GM, new scouts and a year under his belt I will expect better is year 2. McD and Beane seem to have a good head for this and come well credentialed. We have been teased with playoffs and that is what drives a lot of the frustration as we have fallen for that before (Yes we Chan). So long as McD doesn't pull the crap Rex did I will give him three to five years to change the team and the culture and get the Bills back to playoff football. The Chargers game is going to be a Waterloo situation; lose and you're at 5-5 and probably have missed the exit for the playoffs. If he wants to win now, he will probably start TT and give him a quarter+. If the offense sputters again I think he will have to pull TT for a series or two just to see what the kid can do. If Peterman falters, you haven't destroyed him and can pull him back out and use it as a growth experience; and maybe light a fire under Tyrod. If he did well, then you play the hot hand. All easy decisions from the armchair.

I agree 100%, if Tyrod does not move the offense I see no reason why you do not bring Peterman in and see if he can do better. If this team is still serious about playoffs you need to put your best options on the field. The rest of the season teams are going to put 8 in the box and dare the team to throw. Tyrod had Benjamin and Clay and a full compliment of receivers and still couldn't find a open man. I was happy to keep Peterman on the bench this season, but the last two games are showing the limitations on Tyrod. It is not illogical to say lets see if Peterman can lead (or at least see some quality game time) now so McBean know what he needs to look for with all those draft picks.

I know it was garbage time, but Peterman looked good and he threw the ball with authority. It makes me want to see more.

I disagree with you there. Against the Jets he played well, I think Rico called a terrible game. As with today the defense has regressed since the bi with two horrible performance against the Jets and Saints. Taylor just does do the things you need to win you a game. Seeing the ball Peterman threw makes me think TT so go back to being a backup.

Granted, it was garbage time but I am under the impression the Saints were not looking to give up anything and were hanging their hats on denying us points at home, even at the bitter end. Given that, Peterman looked impressive. His passes were crisp, we made quick decisons and the ball moved with a velocity I have not seen from TT in all his years. I think the question is, should the Bills offense stall out again, does Coach do a switch if it meas the difference between 6-4 or 5-5?

Oh my! The Defense is getting worse as the season goes on.

Wow a flag against the Saints!

The lack of good tackling is disturbing mid way through the season.

Seriously, the back the box knowing the Bills are running. They got to let TT throw if only to keep them honest.

That was nice!

bad tackling, stupid penalties... what the heck!

This is going to be interesting as the Jets game was a brutal defeat on all levels. I am interested to see how the team responds against a good opponent. The think the season is over due to one bad loss is silly. The super bowl Bills used to have one or two ridiculous losses a year (prior to the SB). I am not suggesting this team is equal to the 90's. I am only saying take the loss as a learning experience for a 1st time HC and let's see what happens next before we all going into panic mode.

Jets and Bills always play each other tough regardless of records. This game is painful, but I do not think the season is lost due to it. Good teams lose games and sometimes good teams loss badly. Let's take a step away for the edge and see how they recover. How does the process treat a blowout?

On the bright side, 90's Bills teams always had one ridiculous loss on a night game.

now its over

way to kill momentum. Not over yet, but the fat lady is making her way to the mic
