But neither QB can pass rush or play run defense.

A QB that can keep the offense on the field will absolutely improve the defensive performance as a result.

You are so full of yourself Foxx. There are worse QBs in the NFL then TT. 20 -18 isn't bad for this team. Not one bit.

no, i just dealt with you berating me for my opinion for 2 and one half years. guess what Jms, my opinion was right but ya know... carry on with your bad self because that's all you got.

Tyrod is not a quarterback. let me say it again for you but i'll say it slowly this time... Tryod is not a quarterback.

 

That actually seemed to be the same speed.....  

 

And he IS a quarterback (I know that, because I checked the roster), but he’s not an “NFL Franchise Quarterback”.  I don’t remember many people saying he was that, just some saying he was middle of the pack or slightly below. Unfortunately for him, the OC wanted to make him something he’s not. I think Tyrod could be a better QB than Dennison is an OC.

I would like to see more players on the bench get a shot. How about rotating more linemen in on both sides of the ball, somebody might be ready to make a play are ready for their chance. It couldn t hurt at this point.

Yes I agree. going from my vague memory his pre-season quick throws are accurate when his feet are set correctly. There are tmes when he fires the ball and it goes completely off the target - and that to me is his footwork.  His accuracy suffered under pressure. I think we're going to see heavy blitz from Chargers on passing downs. 

 

For sure, not expecting this kid to come out the gate hitting windows like Brady and Rodgers, there's plenty left to develop. Just want to see his accuracy there more than anything really and not have an INT fest, especially to help spell our defense that seems to be getting tired more quickly lately.

 

And I agree with that last point, too - I don't think the Chargers defensive game plan really changes all that much right now. Peterman is absolutely a different QB play style than TT - but as a rookie their top goal would be to pressure and make him as uncomfortable as possible. And with Ingram and Bosa on the line, they don't need to give up much in coverage to accomplish that, especially if our OL continues at the previous two week rate. Would be a great time for Peterman to get some footwork in, lol.

From the guy who disappeared after the five wins, or any time the Bills have won. TT is not great , but he's been ok for the Bills.20 wins in 38 games is not horrible. 59 TDs and 19 turnovers isn't terrible either.Right-it only took two and one half years lol. And if Peterman is bad, you weren't right. Peterman has not played one meaningful snap in a real NFL game. I hope he does well. I root for whoever is the starter. Unlike some. 6-4 would be nice.

fair enough, I hope they are both somewhere else next year at this point

I dont think this move is made unless McDermott believes Peterman is the best QB on the roster. I am excited to watch the kid play this week.

8-8 can make a playoff spot, I think. I think TT could have done that. But we'll see what happens. McDermott made it clear he doesn't care about the playoffs this season. And maybe he shouldn't, but for this starved fanbase, I hope this was the right move. We'll see Sunday. Lose that game and then we are done.

The desprate move is to hope Taylor chages his play and the whole team plays perfect and they win enough to back into the playoffs.

 

This is a 100% atypical football move.  I like the decisiveness of the change.  Once the idea and conversation shifted to Peterman possibly being the better passer make the move.  Why wait on failure first?

I'll take the playoffs any way it has to happen.

I'm interested to see what he can do. I hope the O line doesn't kill him. SD has two really good rushers.

I’m almost positive Tyrod will be, but the OC worries me. Hopefully the FO continues the bold moves and finds a GREAT OC.

Nathan Peterman gives us a better chance to win - can open up space for McCoy and push the ball downfield with anticipation, you know QB things.

i hope Peterman is the answer. initial impressions are that he sure seems to have a lot of the prerequisits to succeed. at the very least this will help us to find out if the kid has the potential or not and we will know what we need to do going into the draft next year.

 

as for my absence, i aready explained that to you. make up all the stories you like, they are simply not true.

That's fine, but we still have a solid chance to make the sixth seed more than ever. 8-8 could do it.The AFC is bad.

well, i think you are going to be plesantly surprised. Dennison is finally going to get to run his version of the WCO. I also think you'll be amazed at how much better the offensive line looks. no longer will the defense be able to send 5 guys on every single down. Peterman will make them pay, he can read a defense. additionally, he will hit his 5th step in the drop and, bam that ball will come out. slants galore, crossing routes of which both will be hit in stride so that they have a chance to make yards after the catch. also, the defense will have to defend the entire field not just half like they only had to with Tyrod.

 

I really think you are going to see a much different team with Peterman back there.

By benching Tyrod Taylor, Bills made the right move at wrong time

If the Bills weren't going to stick with Taylor through the year, they should have begun developing their potential Super Bowl-winning QB much sooner.

You realize that there have been people here that held it hope for EJ even after the London game right?

 

Some people just don't like change.

That London game was it for EJ. This Saints game was it for TT. It couldn't be more obvious.

I do LOVE pleasant surprises! If I’m correct, this was our 2nd-3rd choice as OC? There’s a reason for that. But I will certainly;y reserve judgment and hope for the best!

FPI projects the Bills to win about half a game less over its final seven contests with Nathan Peterman as their starter than if Tyrod Taylor has kept his job for the rest of the season.
