LeSean McCoy Unintentionally Called Nathan Peterman's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day11/20/2017 Wednesday:
Sunday:
You know, at first it felt as though the Buffalo Bills' demotion of Tyrod Taylor was a laughably unfair punishment considering the fact that it seemed to be a reactionary move to their defense giving up 81 points in the two previous games. Now? I'm starting to think it was nothing more than a mercy benching. We are talking about a guy who has never looked better - comparatively speaking - as he prepares for free agency, and the performance of the player responsible for his increase in value was so predictably pathetic that he made his own running back facetiousness appear to be a prognostication. I'll admit that I - much like LeSean McCoy, I'm sure - didn't think Nathan Peterman was going to aimlessly launch 5 interceptions in 15 passes during the first (last?) half of his career as a starter, but it legitimately required a historical amount of incompetence for me (or his own teammate) to be surprised at how bad he was. Make no mistake, this move backfiring was basically a guarantee, but it took thee most intentionally hyperbolic of statement coming to fruition for it to do so in a way that made the team scapegoat look like a 'HOF' quarterback. An entire handful of interceptions in 30 minutes of gameplay is so unbelievably ridiculous that it's almost as if the football gods got wind of LeSean McCoy's hypothetical range of possibilities and accepted the challenge to make what was originally an ungodly coaching decision look the most blasphemous. You never want to say that a professional athlete's abject failure was written in the stars. However, Sean McDermott might as well have rented a plane to write "it's not Tyrod's fault" in the sky the second he chose to start a 5th round pick against one of the best pass rushes in the NFL with no capable wide receivers to throw to and the backing of an atrocious defense. Of course, doing just that that somehow still wouldn't have read as incriminating as a stat line that somehow boasts more interceptions than his predecessor's entire season...
