26CornerBlitz Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 This is unusual. We are in accord. That's an easy one. We essentially know what Tyrod is, so why not at that juncture if and when it comes.
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Sometime during the season probably when the team is out of contention it is probable that the HC is going to give Peterman a look. It would be foolish not to give him an opportunity to play in order to get an assessment of him. At this point the staff knows exactly what they have in TT. So if there is nothing at stake from a playoff standpoint why wouldn't they give Peterman the ball? No matter what we have to take a QB in the first round next year. So getting an assessment on Peterman is not that critical. It's not like we are going to find out Peterman is good enough to pass on a QB in the next draft. At least I hope they don't get fooled into thinking that should he come in and look good in a few games late in the season. They can still get their assessment of Peteman all training camp and preseason next year.
Buffalo Boy Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Might be a sorry looking group, but if Peterson can anticipate plays better it may help these guys out. Watching Tyrod, it makes me think he doesnt even know the routes these guys are running sometimes. Like hes just waiting for someone to break free and be completely open.Ya think( sarcasm)TT lovers and Playoff jonesers will continue to swear he is the only play. Beat them over the head, show them the evidence, lose games to one win teams.... doesn't matter. " look at the stats" they say. " No receivers " they say. The OP is correct in his assessment of our playoff chances. TT is playing .500 football which doesn't get us a good draft pick or a playoff spot. Edited October 9, 2017 by Buffalo Boy
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 McD needs to get together with Beane. If they think Tyrod can get them to the playoffs they need to stick with him. If they think he most likely can't, bench him now. Every game we win is hurting our draft stock. It would be a shame if we went 7-9 or even 9-7 and miss out on one of the QBs in the first or have to give up a bunch of picks. I personally say go with Peterman. Find out what he has and if he sucks it's ultimately a long term victory for us. I gotta imagine McBeane will stick with Tyrod though No way in heck McD or McBeane are giving up on the season at 3-2 in a three way tie for the division. Look at the state of the conference right now. Bills hold a key tie-breaker over Denver already. Despite the loss today we have a really good shot at the postseason. That's an easy one. We essentially know what Tyrod is, so why not at that juncture if and when it comes. My only reason not to is Peterman fools the front office into passing on a QB next draft. If I don't even want to take the chance of that happening it's best to just keep him on the bench. Evaluate Peterman in next years training camp and pre-season.
simool Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 So you start Peterman, crush his confidence, cocuss him repeatedly, or he just sucks against live bullets. Very low chance he succeeds and gets what most want, which is the playoffs. So then fast forward to next year. Draft a QB right out the gate, then are forced to start him because you let Tyrod walk and the bridge you had lost his confidence is a concuss-a-matic or just plain sucks. Then rinse repeat with the high draft choice. I would stay the course, develop the new line pieces. You could put anyone behind this line and it is going to be tough sledding. Tyrod is fine for this season.
Harryhood280 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 People put entirely too much stock in Tyrod's ability to not create turnovers. You don't throw interceptions when you play extremely safe and conservative football. Making big, challenging throws regularly is more important than being the no-turnover ever QB. The problem is that Tyrod can't make those throws with any consistency. I really don't know how anyone can defend him at this point. He is not the answer long term, if you can't see that I don't think you are watching the games.

They can still get their assessment of Peteman all training camp and preseason next year. I agree with you that the Bills should consider drafting a qb in the first round. Getting an assessment on Peterman is still important because it will also be a factor on what Taylor's role, if any, will be with the team next year.
JM2009 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Ya think( sarcasm) TT lovers and Playoff jonesers will continue to swear he is the only play. Beat them over the head, show them the evidence, lose games to one win teams.... doesn't matter. " look at the stats" they say. " No receivers " they say. The OP is correct in his assessment of our playoff chances. TT is playing .500 football which doesn't get us a good draft pick or a playoff spot. The fact that without Clay and Matthews, this WR corp is at the bottom of the NFL.
Noogie75 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 He's not played well for most of the season and without the defense playing over their heads we are probably 1-4 right now. Taylor is a finished product and will be the reason this team doesn't make the playoffs assuming the defense keeps up but don't think that happens either because despite the turnovers they were lit up today. budy they are humans they get tired. For two, this is the NFL. They got lid up after forcing three turnovers and almost a fourth. What do you expect from a three and out the whole game. It gets any defense tired. A turnover with good field position means TD. Not settle for three all the time mostly. Ya think( sarcasm) TT lovers and Playoff jonesers will continue to swear he is the only play. Beat them over the head, show them the evidence, lose games to one win teams.... doesn't matter. " look at the stats" they say. " No receivers " they say. The OP is correct in his assessment of our playoff chances. TT is playing .500 football which doesn't get us a good draft pick or a playoff spot. That's absolutely right. We should of gotten rid of him if you ask me.
Noogie75 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Tyrod doesnt suck, hes average. I see your point tho, I just dont think hes done enough to warrant a benching yet. He only has 2 picks on the year. This team is still 3-2 with a lot of games left. that's what they say every year. Tyrod has 1 int in 5 games. A switch to Peterman will be far worse when it comes to turn overs. How people don't realize that amazes me. so Dalton had two pick s and still threw for 300 plus and won.
Bookie Man Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 If Peterman was the QB today, do you think Buffalo wins that game??
reddogblitz Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 As a general rule, things can always get worse.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 .....from the D&Cs Maiorana.......very telling...... ► Key stat: Taylor is now 2-16 in games where the Bills trail by four points or more at any time in a game. What this says is that the Buffalo quarterback has historically not gotten the job done when the Bills need to rally to win games. This was a shining example.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Tyrod has 1 int in 5 games. A switch to Peterman will be far worse when it comes to turn overs. How people don't realize that amazes me. how many INT's did Dalton tally? Who won the game? CASE CLOSED
NoSaint Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Of course cause you know a win against Tampa does so much for you when you drop games to teams in the AFC that you need to beat for the chance at the playoffs I know you are probably serious here, but you are fully on tilt at this point Robert.... take a deep breathe and relax. If we are 4-2 that'll be a good thing.

K-9 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 How could it be worse with Peterman? In a word, turnovers. I'm no fan of TT but the one thing in his favor is that he is risk averse and won't turn the ball over. He won't lead wins from behind late in games either, but that's a different thread.
