HappyDays Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: Benjamin is terrible but that endzone pass was not really a drop, very very few in the league make that catch. The DB got his hand right into the ball before he could pull it in. It was a good defensive play. Very good pass into triple coverage but it wasn't really a drop In a vacuum that was not a bad drop. The problem is that it is ALWAYS a drop. I literally cannot remember a single tough catch that a Bills receiver has made in tight coverage this year. Not one. I remember two diving catches where the receiver had separation, including one today and one from Robert Foster a few weeks ago. I can easily think of five or more easy catches that were instead drops from this season. But I can't remember one tough contested catch. And an offense needs that threat. You cannot expect any QB, let alone a backup, to make pinpoint perfect throws 100% of the time. Sometimes the playmakers need to... make plays. Today our playmakers had more negative plays than positive. How can you blame Peterman for that? How can any QB be expected to succeed in this mess? Edited November 4, 2018 by HappyDays 3
PayDaBill$ Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 There’s far worse players on this squad than Peterman. I know, scary! Id start with a few others.

PayDaBill$ Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Don’t now how many times I need to say this but there isn’t a qb breathing that would look good playing with this roster! Edited November 4, 2018 by PayDaBill$ 2

The WHOLE offense was a tire fire. Do you believe in the process as well? The point of the post is to ask WHY ARE WE ZEROING IN ON HIM!!!! For everyone who wants to beat a dead horse go ahead. News flash... we have 4 not good QBs. So we are just going to just give the rest of the team, including the coaching staff, a pass... It’s the contingency of Bills fans that are defending a bad quarterback day in and day out. Today was supposed to be the big Nate day. Playing a full game. Gonna show everyone he’s good. Redemption game. 3 INTs 0 TDs. People are STILL defending him. Go away. Admit you’re wrong. I know it’s hard. But swallow your pride and stop making excuses for a busted 5th round garbage pick from Pittsburgh. Edited November 4, 2018 by quinnearlysghost88

There have been a couple contested catches, at least three by Benjamin. But for the most part they hardly ever make them. But that just wasn't a drop. I'm not blaming Peterman for their crappy play, I'm saying he doesn't do hardly anything to lead this team. He plays scared. Teams take away half the field. Teams put 8 in the box and press coverage all game long and he refuses to go up top to make them back up. He's playing awful and they are playing awful.

Should McD have chosen that time and place to say Peterman was NOT an NFL QB? Really? But then why stop there? The reporters should also ask if Benjamin is an NFL receiver or is Bodine an NFL center, and so on. It’s absurd and naive for the media to think that a head coach is gonna throw players directly under the bus in that fashion. Let’s see if Peterman is where Anderson is 10 years from now and then maybe my opinion will change. But opinions being correct or not? Around here? Yeah, ok. The media doesn't think McDermott is going to throw his players under the bus. They are asking suggestive, juicy questions as an opportunity for McD to say maybe something interesting so they can write about it. They're trying to get quote material.

Peterman is a toss up regarding who sucks more. No way. Bills won't cut any QB with this offensive line and Jets and Jacksonville next two. They will be lucky if Anderson survives another start. People forget the Colts and Patriots defenses are garbage and he couldn't survive two games. Play Peterman to the bye and then go Allen with Anderson backup. If Allen isn't ready just keep Peterman out there. Anderson should never play unless emergency. He gets another concussion and he will retire.

His stats were on par with Anderson's stats except he scored a TD and played against a top 5 defense. Anderson did nothing against two of worse defenses in NFL. The running game bigger problem than quarterbacks. 1

Peterman threw 50 passes for less then 200 yds and 3 picks
KD in CA Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 To be fair, I think Peterman deserves one more start.....

The point is that fans are outraged that he said he believes Peterman is an NFL QB in response to a loaded question, at his post game presser. As naive and absurd as the media can be, fans are often even worse.

K-9 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Just now, Straight Hucklebuck said: He’s still starting games K-9. Only because Anderson was out. Should he have gone with Barkley? Logan Thomas? Slim pickins to say the least. And yes, it’s a situation of their own making, but that’s a different argument at this juncture.

You can fault him a ton for starting Peterman any of these games, and sticking with him after it was glaringly clear he cannot get it done. But you cannot fault him for what he said in response to that question. It was a Catch-22. The real sad part is that it was a serious question. The fact that it was asked is troubling by itself.
K-9 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 I would add that we won’t see Peterman again if Anderson is healthy.

He pretty much has to say this until he actually cuts him (if that ever happens.) But I really wonder what he sees in him. He has so little arm talent that it's very hard for him out there. Even when he makes decent reads he has trouble making the throws.

Yeah, but that is only evident if you watch him for ten minutes.
