You know I get it, but the act has gotten old. Peterman doesn’t belong on an NFL roster.

It's kind of weird McDermott evaded the "Why don't you throw it up and hope for a pass interference?" question.

I honestly don't think McDermott understood what he was getting at.

So 2 games for Matheson? Seems like it should've been 4 or 5. Ideally more, but this is the NHL we're talking about.

No he doesn't but when your starter is injured and the other guy hasn't played football in a year I am not sure what you can do. He definitely painted himself into a corner.

Don’t feel one bit sorry for him, all that is self inflicted... the fact they put themselves in this position say’s what i need to know.
How can you possibly go into an NFL season with a rookie and and one year guy is negligent as an nfl coach.

To what? The historically bad QB that is Nathan Peterman? Or the fact that McDermott doesn't understand the very real strategy of jump ball PI?

I think we had 3pts with Allen in there anyways
And we have ZERO shot at the playoffs
Don’t see the point on railing on Peterman,
or Anderson if he plays poorly

Allen wasn’t doing well either
And there’s really no arguing that,
although I’m sure some will try

At least we will get a better draft pick

And all of this is the coach, and the gm’s Fault... how are we overreacting?
Railing on peterman... the dude is the worse QB the bills have ever put on the field, that says a lot.

I don’t think Peterman is good
But we did score more with him in there than Allen

I can keep coming on here & pointing out that Allen isn’t improving
But ppl will just get all p!ssed off and try to say crap like 11-17 for under 100yds and 3pts isn’t that bad

I’d let Allen sit till after the Bye Week
Hopefully it would give him a chance to digest what he’s seen so far & be better prepared when he gets back in there

Or we could just keep doing the same thing and expect different results?
But that’s just not a great plan IMO

Who plays QB for us instead?
I don’t care
We aren’t going to the playoffs no matter who is our QB this year

You’re overreacting bc we are losing with Allen in there anyways

He led us to 3pts yesterday
But oh no, Peterman suuuuuucks is all I’m hearing
Well no sh!t Sherlock
Lmk when our Franchise QB starts making some real strides

That sucked
They have played pretty well overall though

And all i see is McD getting ripped
If your defense gives up ONLY 13pts,
you should win that game 99/100 times

Dabol might be the one who should be fired

Bills are going nowhere, I am 100% focused on the Sabres.

Regarding the Sabres...

1) why won't they waive Larsson and Beaulieu to Rochester?

2) what do Nylander, CJ Smith, Oloffson and Pilut have to do to get promoted?

Asking for my wife.

Same here. That said I noticed he wasn't on the next segment but didn't know about the one after that. I am not sure what there was to get upset about on either side. McDermott called him a "numbers guy" at some point but other that that...
- buffalofan19


I read it as McDermott having no answers to the (fair) questions being asked of him. Rather than actually responding, he held it in and then childishly and passive aggressively hung up on them. That was ridiculous

The part of your logic that many of us think is flawed is that he’s somehow going to learn more from the sidelines than experience on the field. Or at least that’s what I disaowith

That organization is something else.

Look at every QB they’ve drafted in the first lately

Losman- Consolation prize at the end of first when three franchise guys are picked ahead of him

EJ- Literally no one had a first round grade on

Allen- Almost no one had a first round grade on.

It’s not luck, it’s poor management

That whole thing was so odd to me. It's like McDermott has his ego tied up in Peterman. It's business, dude. It's not personal. Peterman sucks

lmk when they let him actually throw the ball downfield. The O-Line sucks, so they call short passes and running plays. It's hard to get yards when all your receivers are running 8 yard routes and/or are named Kelvin Benjamin.

Well, 40 yards, then a PI, then they made a stand.
