This dumpster fire was predictable. Now, let’s just do what we need to do and hand the keys to the guy with a chance. Let’s pray that he’s the guy. I'm not happy Peterman sucked, but I'm not unhappy. Yesterday I wanted one of two things to happen. 1) Win and Peterman looks as "good" as he looked in preseason and shows we can win with him. OR 2) LA Chargers 2.0. I wanted #1 the most because I root for Ws all the time for the Bills, no matter what. And I'll even root for Peterman loud and hard if he's under center next week. But I've thought since I saw him last year in preseason that he just wasn't an NFL starting QB. And this preseason didn't change my mind. All of his great stats in the preseason was just so obviously (to me) manufactured by an offense predicated on very short passes and throws to wide open WRs in busted coverages playing against Defenses that were holding back. The guy is a mirage. Preseason all-star who benefits stats-wise from the things I mentioned above. But nothing about the throws he's making are indicative of an NFL starting QB. I wanted #1, but I'm also content with #2 because Peterman doesn't give us a shot this year. I'm still thinking playoffs. That's never happning with Picked-off-Peterman under center. We have that shot with Allen. So to me, our 2nd best result yesterday happened because now we can rip the band-aid off and give the young rookie a full season minus only 1 game rather than the 3 or 4 or 5 we'd have to suffer through if Peterman were mediocre or just marginally bad. In the end, a blowout Loss doesn't count against us anymore at the end of the year than a 3 point loss, so this Loss could end up preventing 1 or 2 more losses that would have happened on the year if he were still in there. Of course, all of that relies on McDermott making the QB change announcement on Wednesday, which I expect to happen. 7 minutes ago, ShadyBillsFan said: The OP ALSO claimed this thread would auto lock on Sept 8. I guess we didn’t see the year was 2019 No, he didn't. He claimed the poll would auto lock. Not much of a reader, eh? 1

He had a 0.0 pass rating. Do they go negative?? 2

Not as the primary reason, but it's an added bonus that it's apparently getting under your skin so much. I don't really understand why it is. But hey... you could always just ignore it the way you're ignoring me.... oh wait Are you just upset because your boy Nasty Nate is just so friggin awful?

Warcodered Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 I'd say this thread has a cycle. Right after a game or event in the preseason a bunch of people say how they think it effected things and then argue for a while. Then things slow down until the next game and everything starts all over. Honestly this thread probably has until Allen starts or just after. 1

Zerovoltz Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 I watched the "every Josh Allen pass" video from the Baltimore game. It's glaringly obvious that his arm is special. I won't go as far as to evaluate his decision making etc...in a game you are down by 40, the defense isn't doing much at that point, but what is crystal clear is that Allen can put alot of mustard on a football. I see they are starting Allen this week. I don't think it will go well because I don't believe he is ready....if they thought he was, he would have started week 1. In retrospect, the "process" to start a veteran while Josh sat.....is still the right call to me...but a big mistake was trading Tyrod....if you keep him and start him, your coach has ALOT more credibility to keep Tyrod at the helm because he is a seasoned veteran, coming off at least being at the helm as you made a playoff appearance. Peterman sucks....and now your coach has basically no choice but to throw Allen in because he'll lose the locker room if he runs Peterman back out there. Not optimal.

Don't be upset, Shady. I know you're a little upset your boy Nate appears to be one of the worst QBs in NFL history, but what's happening is best for the team. I was wrong there. That should make you happy enough. The funny thing is that if fans so desperately wanted Allen to remain on the bench to protect him and let him learn, we never should have traded Taylor. Some of you were/are just too damn emotional to see that. Regardless, Allen wasn't named the starter for the season opener. He was named the starter for the home opener... the 2nd game of the season. Thus, the Allen Era begins!!!

The reason we traded Tyrod is because we wanted to have a more traditional pocket passer. Well, Peterman is significantly worse so we have to go to the rookie earlier. However, the way Tyrod's contract was set up, if we picked up his option last year, I believe we would basically have to commit to him for 2-3 more years to avoid a big dead cap hit. I watched a lot of the Browns game last week (since the Bills were being blown out) and Tyrod was pretty bad. I still can't believe they couldn't pull out a W after 6 turnovers. Taylor isn't terrible overall but making plays in the pocket, he's bad. 15 of 40 with 7 sacks doesn't help your team. I think Mayfield will be starting by midseason.

Honestly, the real reason we traded Tyrod was because someone was willing to give us such a premium draft pick back. Had there not been any trade offers, I am pretty sure they would have kept him. They said several times they were comfortable paying him the bonus and keeping him even if they draft a QB. But the first pick of the 3rd round in a deep draft was a deal too good to pass up. 12 hours ago, Boatdrinks said: Wow... that clip of NP is even worse than I thought possible. Jones is uncovered on the boundary, to boot. Mind numbingly bad stuff, and Barnwell is on point. Best part is that BullBuchanan swears that INT is 100% on Kelvin even though its no where near catchable. Also he likes to ignore that Zay was sitting on the sideline open by 20 yards the ENTIRE time he is in the pocket, but he stared down KB and didn't even look at Zay. Thats a first down and easily 20+ yard gain if he even looks at Zay...although that assumes 2 things, he actually throws a catchable ball to Zay and that Zay doesn't drop it lol.
