That's pretty miserable, then. After their first two drives in the 3rd quarter I had to turn it off. Went to the mall instead, which is usually pretty slow on a football Sunday afternoon, but it seems many fans had the same idea because it was pretty packed and there were people in Bills gear everywhere haha. I applaud McD for having the nads to make the switch. I've liked Tyrod since he became the starter but I know he's hit his ceiling. He can make some "wow" plays happen a few times a game, his escapability is second to none but they can't rely on him to do that every play. They know they need him to be able to stay in the pocket and make quick decisions and quick throws. Unfortunately his height is a main factor in his issues. He simply can't see the field well and unlike Brees and Wilson, he's hesitant to zip the ball through tight windows, which is how those guys have been so successful. They must have really been seeing some good things in practice from him. In the camp practices I watched and the pre-season games, it's looked to me like Peterman has a bit of a quicker release and it seems like he throws with more anticipation. If you watch them run drills where they're practicing dropbacks simultaneously you'll see Peterman is usually first to get rid of the ball. Not by a ton, but it's noticeable. Maybe they've seen him throw guys open in practice and that's something Tyrod just doesn't do often enough. He has to see his man open before throwing it. And week after week I watch clips of the coaches film and there are always several plays where he does have receivers open in a tight window where he'd have to drop the ball over the CB but in front of the safety. He's done it before, so he's capable, he just doesn't do it consistently enough. Either way, I'm intrigued. They better double team Bosa or it's gonna be a really crappy debut for Peterman.
CommonCents Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Didn't even have a QB controversy play out in the media, the team kept it behind closed doors and made the change. Much different then some of the blow hards we have endured.
Bills Fan in Beantown Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Wow! I really didn't expect that at all.

Either way is a win IMO. Not going anywhere with Taylor. Cutting him could allow us to sign Matthews as well. Sadly these are the best, but not the only options for the Bills. I believe the most likely is that the Bills win a few more games and end up 7-9, this cementing our place in the middle of the pack for the upteenth year in a row.....

This ought to be a fun day. I was losing all respect for McDermott. Shocked and thrilled he did the right thing to try and save the season. Couldn't agree with you more. I was literally an hour ago telling a co-worker how McDermott was really starting to rub me the wrong way with his stubbornness, refusal to start Peterman, continuing to give Tolbert way too many carries... Hey at least he got the big one right!!!! Great day to be a Bills fan!!
ddaryl Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Blown away about this decision.. Change is good.. This is solid move.... Here's hoping Nathan is the 2nd coming of all the great QB's to ever play this game
Bills Fan in Beantown Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 So rebuild, rebuild rebuild. Maybe? I have no idea. My head is kind of spinning here
MAJBobby Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Just dont be stupid and because of a couple weeks of decent play not take a QB early next year. STILL DRAFT A QB EARLY
John Gianelli Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Glad I looked here. WGR still doesn't have it on their website.
Bangarang Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 The Tyrod Taylor era is officially over. Best of luck to Peterman! Also, can someone do a welfare check on transplant please? 1
NewEraBills Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Taylor got figured out by the Panthers. It wasn't the Jets game that did Taylor in. The Panthers di the rush 5 and keep him in the pocket first. In every game this happened the offense was straight trash. Panthers, Jets, Saints. We're lucky others didn't take note or else we'd probably be sitting in a worse place record wise.
Cruiserplayer Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 I don't know who is happier: the fan base or our receivers.
zonabb Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 These guys have guts. Instead of doing the coach-y thing and appease the lockerroom and the player, McD pulled the cord properly and made the right decision. Knowing the massive limitations of TT to beat defense himself and what that would mean the rest of the way, he went with a move that better suits the future. Not saying by any stretch that NP is the guy, but this allows them to assess him, in a pressure situation, and give them some indication of how they will address the position in spring 2018. If he performs and gets better week to week, they can draft one a little later. If he bombs, one a little earlier. Most critically, it seals the fate of TT here as they've made it clear they can't win with him. Best move this year. 1
Gordio Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Why do I get the feeling a year from now Peterman will be the one we will be trying to run out of town. The endless cycle of a Bills fan. 1
Coach Tuesday Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 So McD justified the move by saying, "We were made for better than 5-4." Gulp. I continue to wonder what the Pegulas think they were promised...

There's only one thing I can guarantee. Peterman will throw more than 56 yards. Even if the Peterman move doesn't work out, it at least shows me that our head coach isn't stubborn and is willing to make changes in ANY position who he feels is underperforming. I respect the move McDermott. You have gained my respect once more. Yup, probably in the first half, first quarter even...... He may even break 100. Honestly though I have new optimism. It may blow up in our faces, but we are Bills fans and the unknown is generally all the excitement we get.

YoloinOhio Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 This is getting absolutely crushed by the national media. Similar to when Rex canned the OC last year after his defense got lit up. Most saying that it’s not TT’s fault. I actually agree a little but I think it’s everyone that needs fixed.
