Not so epic Nathan Peterman game.

[RobbRiddick]

This is a Nathan Peterman regular season highlight video from 2017 - 2020

 

It's 1 minute and 23 seconds long. Josh's run against KC was almost the same length of time

 

 

Edit, I tell a lie, the highlight portion only lasts 1 minute

I was there too.  At halftime I went to a secluded area and phoned a Bills fan friend to laugh at Peterman. The good news was by the 4th quarter, we moved into prime sideline seats because enough people left.  

Peterman ruined 2 road games for me. The LA game & then opening day in Baltimore in 2018.  The good news in the Baltimore game is I saw Josh Allen play in his 1st real game.  Also saw Lamar Jackson's NFL debut as well.  When Josh came in I started screaming "go Josh" in joy because I was not happy that he wasn't the starter on opening day. 

At least there was good weather for the LA game.  I got drenched in Baltimore since it rained all day.

Can you believe we were once debating whether we should start Peterman or Allen?

 

"I thought (Peterman's) total body of work all the way back from the spring through the summer and fall camp to this point, he has certainly earned the right," McDermott told reporters. "It's always a tough decision. And that's a good thing, because those guys were competing at a high level."
 

There was a moment when our head coach thought choosing the better QB between Peterman and Allen was a “tough decision”

 

I like McD as a coach but this lack of ability to ID talent is stunning to me.

It was one of those lowlights as a Bills fan, of which there were many over the years.  

 

Living in Chiefs country, my son and I watched the game in a sports bar, filled with Chiefs fans priming for their 3 pm game and people in for the other early games.

 

Watching the beat down, the looks we got from around the bar were more of pity than anything.  By half time, Peterman had thrown 2 ints and the Bills O had something like 20 yards and O 1st downs.

 

When they trotted Allen out to start the 2nd half, a guy at the next table leaned over to me and said "I can't believe they are putting him this early."  

 

I just said, "they don't have a choice, they can't go on without a 1st down for the entire game".  He just gave me a "yeah, you're right look" added by another look of pity.

 

Later that day, Mahomes started his first game as a full time starter.  He threw for 250+ yards and 4 tds.

 

Not a good day.

 

It wasn't just Peterman though.  It was one of the worst offenses possible.  

 

The Oline, absent a 2nd year Dion Dawkins, was bottom of the barrel.  Wood was forced to retire.  They dumped Incognito who was replaced with Vlad.  Miller was a low end starter.  Jordan Mills was ..Jordan Mills.  The WRs they brought in were Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes.  

 

Outside of a raw rookie in Josh Allen, Shady and a young Dion, it was pretty pathetic (half credit for Zay Jones). after 2018, I doubt half of those guys started 10 games for other teams.  

 

My big fear was something we saw in Buffalo forever during the drought years.  

 

Bring in a defensive head coach.  

Make the priority of getting talent for the D to "fit the scheme of the coach"

Make the offense an afterthought.

 

Fortunately, they learned something from 2018.  Not totally, but at least they made an effort to get some protection and some weapons for their young QB.

Josh didn't start the 2nd half.  He came in after the kickoff at 11:22 left in the 3rd quarter.  I remember after the Bills got the ball back I looked up & saw Josh Allen at QB & had something to cheer about for the 1st time in the game.

Thank God I didn't go to that game and pay $100 just to park in the Soccer stadium.

He beat Clemson for their only loss the year they won the national championship, throwing 5 TDs, that was his claim to fame. He did have a really good senior season at Pitt, but it was pretty obvious he didn't have the arm for NFL success.
