LA Grant Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I'm still so angry at the coaching staff for the ridiculous move at QB. This doesn't help, exactly, but it does put it into perspective. We have gone from "the Bills are in great shape to make the playoffs" to "we are in deep, deep s#it" so fast, my head is still spinning. Per Deadspin: No quarterback had thrown five interceptions in the first half since before the NFL-AFL merger. No team had thrown five interceptions in the first half since the Steelers did it in 1973. Peterman’s five picks came on 14 pass attempts, one shy of the record set in 1973 by Archie Manning. No quarterback had thrown five interceptions in his first career start since Keith Null in 2009 for the Rams, and I swear to god I have zero memory of Keith Null existing. No quarterback had thrown three picks in the first quarter since Geno Smith did it in 2014. Full article here: https://deadspin.com/nathan-peterman-was-a-very-avoidable-disaster-1820604593
Lfod Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Although I understand the sentiment the QB change doesn't explain getting destroyed at the Jets and Saints games. I wouldn't exactly call that "great shape". I'd call it clinging to hopes of a wild card birth. Not even clawing for a divisional title. Edited November 21, 2017 by Lfod
Sweats Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Alright, we get it already..........Peterman was beyond bad. What else ya got?
Wayne Arnold Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 So you're saying five interceptions in one half is bad?
The Jokeman Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 So he can only improve right? I know we're all upset at how bad he performed but what do we have to lose now if we start him again? My only concern is about McDermott "losing the locker room". Yet I'm not sure if our current core leaders will be along much longer as I can't see Kyle staying around longer and Lorax looks like age finally caught up with him leaving us a chance to pursue more McDermott guys like Star Lotulelei who's set to be an UFA this offseason.

Maybe not. 1 half = 5 ints 2 halves = 10 ints?

For Nate it will certainly raise his preparation level and he'll learn from it. For Tyrod the benching got his attention and he'll be a more determined player for whatever minutes he plays for Buffalo the rest of the year. That and the offensive line was often exposed for how bad they are. The Bills weren't winning that game no matter who played QB Sunday. The Chargers most definitely are a more talented team.

I would like to add that if they dont fix the run D i can maybe see 1 more win if that......

One never really knows, I mean who could have predicted Frank Reich leading the come back against Houston after our disastrous start? No, I'm not saying Peterman would lead us back only one never really knows as one would think things would follow as they started yet hard to know for sure. Edited November 22, 2017 by The Jokeman

He wasn't leading anything, not even to the gatorade dispenser.

I'll agree with you but he also had a pretty horrific start in the NCAA at Tennessee and he bounced back when he got to Pitt so I haven't lost all my faith in Peterman but he did damage part of it with that horrible showing.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Well this post sure is timely. And unique!
HappyDays Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Does anyone else hold Dennison partly responsible for this? I mean I can’t blame a rookie alone for a historically bad day like that. It’s the OC’s job to prepare the rookie QB and call a game that favors him. Leaving Bosa 1-on-1 and putting us in constant 3rd and long situations gave Peterman no chance.

It's a fair assessment since he doesn't have ideal NFL arm strength and if he turns out to be that, that's still great value from a 5th Round draft pick. 1
Billsfan1972 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 It is funny because McDemott still hasn't named a starter fir Sunday. Heck the real media has forgotten the story because no one in his right mind would star hime..... The media though really doesn't know Buffalo......

As Nate was moving the team prior to the tipped INT.
