And of course the D was bad - they were on the field for the entire first half! So every turnover turns into a punt. The Chargers might only have scored 40, you're right.

Teams have been keeping him in the pocket and he's had zero answers. They've been " making him be a QB" and daring him to throw the ball. Anothony Lynn wasn't going to give him any chance to do what he can do well. Wasn't going to happen by a long shot. If Taylor is a good QB he should be able to beat a fading Chiefs team and won't be phased at Arrowhead where he's played before. They couldn't risk playing a rook in that stadium so it was worth a shot. Yep and it is on the offensive staff to find ways to beat what the other team is doing and get creative with the plays being called. How about giving your starting qb the option to audible once in a while. This offensive staff has done Taylor no favors by trying to make him into something he is not a pocket passer. The defense was the key to turning around the season and they have failed so maybe McDermott needs to spend more time fixing that first.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 You can speculate all you want. There me is no way to know if the result would have been different. Zero. 1 hour ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: Yeah just like he did the past two weeks, bottom line is the defense isn't good enough and he isn't good enough. Exactly somehow we ended up with the worst defense in the NFL.

No doubT that peterman was the worst qb on the planet today but our defense is a joke. Our front 7 is close to useless. Need 2 new DTs and 2-3 new linebackers (Milano might be one, but he doesn’t play anymore so we won’t know til next year). Alexander is one of my favorite players but he can’t play LB. he should be a pass rusher and ST player. He tried and I applaud him for that. He’s just not good playing 4-3 SLB. I hate Preston Brown. Always will. Please leave via free agency. Please. Poyers play has fallen off a cliff since his injury. Leonard Johnson is a gamer but isn’t very good in coverage half the time. White played a solid game. Gaines had his moments but we just couldn’t come up with the stops on 3rd down. Rivers showed us what good QB play is. Something our QBs don’t currently have. Peterman or Tyrod today. I doubt it would’ve changed the result. Our offense isn’t good enough to save this defense when playing be a good qb. Shady would’ve kept it close, but an L in the loss column nonetheless Its kind of easy for a seasoned QB to show what good play is when he faced almost no pressure all game, had receivers running free, and had receivers getting good yards after catch. Its also easy when you start a lot of drives from the 50 yardline or better. That is not to detract from what Rivers is. He is a damn good QB. Just saying though... 2 hours ago, Imissbeastmode said: Can’t throw interceptions if you don’t throw the ball. Tyrod Taylor 1095 attempts 15 INTs as a starting QB Nate Peterman 14 attempts 5 INTs as a starting QB

Trading away Dareus mid season for a nothing pick will be a decision they regret. With how the season has unfolded, I would go back to Peterson next week. I did not agree with benching Taylor while still in contention and I am sure the Vets on the team would agree. However, what is done is done and the season is lost as this was a must win game. However, with how this team has been playing the most important objective now is to see what you have in Peterman. Need to see if you can even count on him to be the backup next year or if you need to sign another veteran. What I wouldn't do is pick up Taylor's option and try to trade him. If you are going to stick with Dennison then you need to find QB who fits system they are trying to run. We aren't totally done yet. Right now the only team in our way is the Ravens. The Bills need to win some football games though. Baltimore could still lose to Hou, Pitts, and Cinci. They aren't that good. Not that we are right now, but you never know. 2 hours ago, jkirchofer said: Three and outs are no better than an INT except for field position. They still hang 50 on us. 3 and outs don't give the other team the ball in our own end zone or in field goal range the majority of the time. 1 hour ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: You do know the Chargers have a slightly better version of the Jets defense. Taylor would've lost this game and looked just as bad as Peterman. Peterman had the worst performance of any QB since the merger. Tyrod is an average QB and Peterman couldn't hold his jock. Look just as bad OMG.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Tyrod seemed like he played more aggressively. I think his benching lit a fire under him— maybe the small silver lining from today.

BillsFan130 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I keep saying it and I'll say it again. The Bills are not even close to just being a QB away. They have so many holes on this team. It's almost like an expansion team. Blaming TT for the past 2 games is crazy to me. He sucked against the Saints for sure, but every QB has bad games. Whether it is Peterman or TT or Matt Stafford at QB, it honestly doesn't matter right now. If they don't fix their o line, get more playmakers, get better coaching, and completely fix their defence, this team will stink up the joint week after week

Zero. Exactly somehow we ended up with the worst defense in the NFL. So strange, we looked so good and then after the Marcy trade they fell apart, even though he didn't do much when he was here. I'm hoping Milano gets more time. He won't solve the problem but at least he made plays. What we really is a big run stuffer, can Ted Washington still play. 1
BillsfanAZ Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Taylor may not have thrown INT's but that didnt stop him from fumbling for 6 points. The Bills defense did not stop Rivers. Chargers only punted a couple times. Even his back up engineered scoring drives. 1
PromoTheRobot Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 4 hours ago, ChicagoRic said: I called the QB decision this past week an unmitigated disaster. I stand by that. The Peterman experiment should be over. Tyrod would have come into this game with something to prove and likely would have pulled out the win. Hoping now that his benching has given him the motivation to play with heat to the end of this season to end his tenure with the Bills. You're nuts. Tyrod playing would have made it only slightly less of an ass-kicking. That's because it the rest of the team is playing like garbage.

TBDlurkerSINCE07 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 If TT started, Keenan Alle nwould have gone for 300 yards since he would have played the entire game. This horrible D was not stopping anyone. They're lucky Peterman is taking all the heat. The D sucks.

This, plus they were driving those short distances against a D that had to run back out on the field with no time to rest or discuss and refine their game plan, again and again. With a veteran perennial Pro Bowl QB at the helm. INTs are much harder for a team to overcome than 3-and-outs with punts.
