Derek Anderson Hasn't Been Declared Out for the Bears Game - Now Declared Out!

[26CornerBlitz]

Is this Gamesmanship or is McDermott genuinely holding out hope that he plays?

[PittsforDave]

What other option do we have? 

 

Playing Nate guarantees a lose. 

 

Derek is really our only real option atm.

Ironically you could’ve made the same guarantee about DA playing

Not a single practice all week and they'd start him Sunday? That seems crazy. I know Peterman isn't good, but you can cater the game plan to set him up to succeed (ie do not throw to the sidelines)

I think it shows a lot about Peterman. Holding out hope that a 35 year old, off the street with zero practice and only 3 weeks on the roster can somehow get cleared and go. I love it. I can’t stand the thought of Peterman playing. I just can’t understand how he’s still on this team. Yes this last injury made it harder to cut him THIS week...but he never should have still been here for us to be in this spot.  I really hope Anderson can go. Thinking Peterman might play feels like when Tyrod was getting hurt and all we had was EJ. I didn’t even want the games to happen because I just knew we had no shot.

I was fully expecting him to be declared out today.

McD pulling some gamesmanship must be it at this point, trying to gain an edge any way he can get it? Not sure what the NFL rules on this are though

An independent neurologist will have to clear him so maybe they are just holding out hope, but who knows.   I figured they'd just roll into the weekend with Peterman and Barkley.

Playing Nate is surrendering, which is the same as conceding. 

 

 At least Derrick gives us a slight possibility of a win.

Yeah, you can tell him, “don’t throw picks!!” Based on his career though if he throws 32 times he will be picked off 4. You can’t cater something for a guy that doesn’t have ability.

No out routes!!  Jeebus!

[HappyDays]

I would rather see Peterman get the start.

Has zero TD DA shown you anything to even say “slight?” Call me crazy, and I won’t dispute it, but their differences to me seem so slight, I’d actually give the push to NP on legs alone. Slim pickins!  

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

We've got too many QBs!  See what Oakland will give us for one.  Better yet, stick them each in an unmarked big paper bag, and raffle off to the highest bidder their choice of bag.  'Pays your money, takes your chances'.  ?

Seems crazy...yet, would be the second time in three weeks they did so.  

 

God, this season is comical. 

[Lfod]

I'm on the edge of my seat with anticipation of who will start at QB this week.

Anderson did throw for 290 yds last week something I don't see Peterson doing.

Peterson?

 

What, did the Bills sign another QB in the past fifteen minutes?  Would we be surprised if they did?
