The McD/Peterman love affair officially ended this week...

Once the deed is done and Peterman is no longer a Bill, if people won't leave the topic alone it will then officially be a dead horse.  As it stands right now it is a severely wounded horse in desperate need of shooting.

People really think its over? If they are forced to make a move they will probably hunker down in a bunker or church praying Nate makes it through waivers to get him to the practice squad. Otherwise he stays until they can justify going back once Barkley falters.....

Playing Anderson and Barkley were just ways to appease the pitchfork masses and to say they tried something, didn't work, and that it's not a QB problem. Unfortunately it didnt work this week and now the plan may backfire on them.

Hell yes it does!  Peterman should have been gone weeks ago -- he was only here because of the organization's incompetence in not bringing in anyone else.

 

No he was the only here because we didn’t have anyone else who was healthy.  Yes they made the mistake of carrying him into the season, but so did the majority of this board after NPs preseason (not me, I was always stating he can’t play).  They immediately corrected that mistake week 1.

 

After that, a case can be made we should have brought a vet in.  But this fan base has not even a remote understanding of what it takes to get a QB up to speed to execute an offense.  They now had to build Josh up and spend ALL their time with our young rookie, so that’s pribably why they didn’t sign a vet then.

 

Add in that none of the moves they made were about winning this year and about building for the future, and it’s not hard to see why they chose to put all their time into Josh rather than try and find another QB to also spend time with teaching the lingo and playbook.

 

Ultimately they decided it would help to bring a vet in and help Allen as he was up and down trying to find his way on a bad offense.  But once he immediately got hurt, NP had to stay because we didn’t have another healthy option to backup DA and we also couldn’t bring a second new QB in either because like they did with allen, they needed to spend all time with DA to get him up to speed.  

 

Then again DA gets hurt and back to same situation signing Barkley.  They had to keep NP again as an emergency because they need to spend time getting Barkley up to speed.  

 

So, their only mistake was rolling with NP into the regular season, but in their defense, he fooled a lot of people in the preseason.  After that, they got stuck with him due to circumstances.  Not a chance he remains in the roster now once Allen is healthy.  Real question is do they keep both MB and DA once Allen is healthy.  

 

NP may wind up on the PS at best, if not outright cut.  His NFL career is certainly over as no team will give him a chance after the year he has had.  His next foot into a live game will at best be in CFL, XFL, etc where he will try to play his way into another chance like Manziel tried to do.

YES!!! Should have been done in the off-season or after the game #1 nightmare, but they had no choice after trading AJ.  It's kind of ironic how the Bengals let Barkley go and we were just in time to bring him in healthy.

I certainly wont be looking back years from now thinking about Peterman.  It's over dude move on.

OK mister GM what would you have done different?  Pay 20 million for Bradford?  Pay 60 million for Cousins?  Do you realize what kind of cap situation the Bills are in?

Teddy Bridgewater who wouldn't release his medical?  

The only point you could make would be to AJ.  AJ who got out played by both Nate and Josh in the preseason.

Oh i know Keep Tyrod at his ridiculous price tag who got benched already?  

Please....

This topic gave me some strange weird ideas lol

The love affair has been over. This was the second time a guy who has been on the team less than 2 weeks was given the start over him.

Peterman isn't going anywhere for the haters. He will be on the roster or practice squad. Likely he just sits on practice squad and is brought up if Allen or Barkley get hurt. Anderson might hang around to help Allen but he is never getting in a game again.

He's an all pro in practice and preseason, but he doesn't belong on the field when the games are for real.

Which means he'll be re-signed to the practice squad, assuming he qualifies.

Nope he is going to sell insurance (like me)

...and when we look back years from now we'll be scratching our heads all the more.  To see what a journeyman QB who hasn't played in two years could come in and do with two weeks of practice was the final "it's not you, it's me" moment for these star-crossed lovers.  I give McD credit for realizing he couldn't trot Nate out there again, and we saw the results.

 

The only question is whether Sean will break the news over dinner, or will he just send a text?

 

You sound like a deluded jilted lover who in actually was not even noticed.

Good thing you sell insurance instead of playing the futures market. Peterman will be on the practice squad in case Allen or Barkley goes down. With 6 games to play they aren't going to cut a warm body at that position that they pay virtually nothing.

You should write the Pegulas and demand McDermott's firing when Allen starts in week 12.

That’s why they have Anderson.
