Sal said “what are you supposed to do in overtime then?” Actually, this might not be a terrible idea. If the game went into overtime, the Bills could just defer and kick the ball to the Texans. Then hope for a quick turnover to put them into field goal range. Considering how the rest of the game went, I have more confidence in this scenario than Nathan Peterman driving the offense down the field.

GreatComeback Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 5 minutes ago, QCity said: I'll answer this one for Sal. In overtime you slate a run-heavy attack that doesn't require you to put the entire game on Peterman's ability to run a 2-minute offense with no timeouts. Taking a knee 3 times and punting is a better option than asking Peterman to throw the ball with 1:34 left. I disagree.... I think a lot of this is hindsight based on what happened. how many of us would be livid if a team ran down the clock for OT? It would be pathetic. I think you need to have enough confidence to throw with your QB, even if he is a backup. Also Peterman led one very good drive that resulted in the only TD of the game. There really wasn’t a reason for not calling passing plays as he looked decent before the INT. Now, you can fault McDermott for his poor evaluation of Peterman or for being comfortable with Peterman as QB2. But I don’t think you fault him for calling passing plays there

I can never understand: 1) How someone has the time to call a radio show in the middle of the day, and what they hope to get out of it 2) Why anyone thinks their opinion on the team is valuable to have others listen to Its entertainment. Same way you will vent, sound off, or brag about NFL with friend or co-workers. People also want to get their voice out there to be heard. 1 minute ago, Beerstm said: I love his show!

But I don’t think you fault him for calling passing plays there I do fault McD for this big time. At the same time I also fault them for passing there. Feed Shady. I hate to play for OT too, but if you got a guy that's thrown 3 picks in his last 2 games and has DBs licking their chops for a side line throw (they watch film too) why do it? I would not have been mad if we handed it to Shady 3 times and punted. Our D was on fire. If it did get to OT, maybe we get another TO down at their end of the field. Maybe run the Philly shuffle to get a first down? Throw to middle of field where he is more efficient? At least it wouldn't be a pick 6. Put Shady and Ivory in the backfield. there are a lot of things you can do there besides letting a historically bad QB throw his worst pass.

He's done it before, ie Tampa Bay and Indy last year. Why let a historically bad QB throw his worst pass? Dumb. And I called for a hand off to Shady BEFORE the play so it's not second guessing for me. When you're D is playing like ours was , I take my chances stopping them over for 1:30 with no time outs over Nasty Nate not throwing a pick. I've seen this before (several times).

BillsPride12 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 The best part was when Sal called out the guy who was saying the Pegula's should take survey's of former QB's and that Peterman has a pinched nerve on how he was mispronouncing the Pegula's name lol

Not have everyone fall in line and do the same thing because they're supposed to do so as not to offend some non hackers. If things continue like this there won't be any fans at the game to care anyway. I couldn't care less what California does or doesn't want. I just want the Bills to win football games.

Sal doesn’t have guests - only callers. Man are the results hilarious, including: 3 fans that called in to say that the Bills should sign Colin Kaepernick. Sal said something like “he brings a distraction and the Bills and 31 NFL teams don’t want that.” One guy who said McDermott trusts Peterman more than Allen as a passer and used the final drives against Tennessee vs Houston as evidence. Another dude said that McDermott should have run the ball on the final drive and played for overtime with 2:00 minutes left. Sal said “what are you supposed to do in overtime then?” The last caller said Terry Pegula should survey all defensive backs and ask if they fear playing Nathan Peterman and make a decision about the results. Sal said, “that is a terrible idea”. LOL If you thought some of the posts in here were legendary, this show might have them beat. Poor Sal, he was doing a good job trying to be cordial but by the end of the show he got a little short and testy. Man. First TBD, now the air waves as well??

I remember years ago I used to listen to a now dead political talk show host who would constantly say things like "I can't take it anymore, I've got to get out of here."
