For whatever reason, I am wondering if McDermott really wants to go to the playoffs this year.The Bills were on the cusp of playoff berth and benched a good QB not for some top rated QB with a high draft pedigree, but for a 5th rounder. And while the Bills had struggled in their previous games, it bears noting that their defense has gone to hell at right around the exact time they dealt Dareus to JAX. McDermott had been preaching all season that he wanted to control turnovers, and Taylor's got only 3 INTs on the entire year.
The Taylor benching made no sense at all when it was announced and the results made things exponentially worse. Either McDermott has no idea what to look for in a QB, in which case the Bills are screwed, or the orders to bench Tyrod came down from ownership, in which case the Bills are screwed.I am 100% with Tony C in that something was rotten in the state of Denmark with that move.
It was the most bewildering QB move the franchise has made since benching Flutie for Rob Johnson in the Music City Miracle game.
