It's not only not stupid, it's the only decision. 

 

He tried another option, and it failed. Starting Peterman is, quite simply, illogical and bad PR at this point. Peterman is not ready, it would destroy his career, and if he played badly again there would be hell and no one would show up. 

 

 

 

It was 30 minutes of football, not 2.5 years.

 

The Bills set a season ticket sales record in Rex Ryan's second year.  If you think starting Peterman is going to make people stop going to Bills games, then I don't know what to tell you.

And Tyrod has done more to earn a bad game than Peterman, no?

No, and the coaches didn't think so either, and it's been a lot more than just one bad game.

If Peterman can't handle adversity/shake off a crap performance, then he's not the guy and won't have a career, anyway.

 

But it's a statistically unprecedented level of adversity.

 

I mean, he's not dealing with an off-field issue or crime so I guess it could always be worse, but statistically speaking, no rookie back-up QB has ever come back from throwing 5 interceptions in his first game...in a half.

 

It is truly uncharted territory so I think it's a leap of faith to think he can ever shake it off.

They really need to fix the O-line.  Tyrod is not a good qb, imo, but he makes the execrable line look better than it is, which is not to say he makes them look good.  I don't think it is doing Peterman a service throwing him back out there if they can't protect him.  DIfficult to have confidence in this regime, but we're stuck with it so hoping for the best.

Someone pointed out in another thread, the competitive advantage of this was minimal.  "OK boys, Taylor is the QB.  Keep him in the pocket and cover the WR for 3 seconds.  If by some chance McDermott does go with Peterman, just pressure the dude and catch what he throws ya.  We're good. (Now go eat a snack.)"

Makes sense but gameplans aren't derived in a 5 second speech.  Keeping Tyrod Taylor in the pocket is one thing but how you do it is another.

The biggest problems in Buffalo in order:

 

1) Offensive line

2) Defensive line

3)Linebackers

4)Coaching (OC,DC,HC)

5)QB

6)WR

7)CB

8)RB/FB

9)TE

10)SS/FS

 

Just my opinion but those are the main problems with 1 needing the most help and 10 needing the least help.

Now let's pretend that Peterman completed the game & threw for 110 yards, 4 sacks and 2 INts in a 47-10 loss, then he'd probably still be starting.

 

I'm convinced if Peterman did not throw that 5 Int, he would have started the second half.

 

I'm wondering if McDermott learned anything.

Well the media has been calling him stupid, idiotic, dumb, etc all week, so he was under some of the most intense pressure & scrutiny I've ever seen a coach receive...just look at these headlines (the articles go on to blast him even more):

Sunday's game is a playoff game, TT needs to stop with the apprehension nonsense

and start slinging the ball...i would expect a few ints, (hopefully not 5) but

they have to score points, enough with the three and outs.

I'm kind of expecting the opposite, frankly: a typical conservative gameplan to eke out a road win against a decent opponent.

Makes me lose confidence in McDermott moving forward. I want a head coach that will stick with a decision. This season is already done with, spend the time evaluating instead of allowing Taylor to audition for other teams.

 

Right, I only admire a man who will stick with a decision even after it's shown to be epicly wrong <= sarcasm

 

Can you help me understand, if Peterman keeps playing, just what do you think you're evaluating and why you're evaluating it?

Seriously? So that is the ONLY audition the poor kid gets? DONE? GMAFB

The question was: if Peterman keeps playing (meaning right now), just what do you think you're evaluating and why are you evaluating it?

 

Instead of putting words in my mouth, can you explain?
