Yep. Some rookie errors but he's making some plays. I have the misfortune of being a Bills fan and I told some friends (that hadn't followed him at Pitt) that he would be the starter by 2018. I'd like to see them give him some reps with the 2nd team in the next game.
I'm a steelers fan but hard not to root for the bills right now. I think it's a good spot for Nate and I think he'll eventually land the starting qb job and have a decent career there. They also have shady obviously and for his and buffalo's sake hopefully he is the focal point of a team trying to make the playoffs for the first time since 1999.
And on top of all that, I went to buffalo once for a steelers game. The Ralph (as I will always refer to it as) is my favorite venue in sports. I love the stadium, the location, the gameday atmosphere. Anyone who likes to travel to different pro venues I highly recommend a trip to orchard park.

have to agree...the place kind of sits in a middle class neighborhood atmosphere right off of good old 219. Think we even parked in some guy's driveway for 10 bucks. Went up for a stiller game in the late 80's and really enjoyed it.
I went to 2 bills games, both in the 80's too. the one I remember was so windy, our punter at the time actually had a punt with a negative net gain. thing went up and then backwards..
weird area, literally in the middle of a flat suburban area. we too parked in a guy's front yard.. I was younger but that really stuck out to me..
yeah, yeah....stadium right in the middle of a neighborhood with various houses and buildings and businesses....kind of reminds me of another stadium that was torn down a while ago (except for the flat part ) that sat up on a hill with stuff all around it, but I just can't put my finger on it....
Cardiac Hill has a good article on Nathan's development with Buffalo.
"Former Pitt quarterback Nathan Peterman made his NFL debut in the Buffalo Bills’ 17-10 preseason loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.
While he only completed 52 percent of his passes, he got the bulk of the playing time under center. He also happened to score the team’s only touchdown when he lobbed a beauty of a pass to the corner of the end zone for wide receiver Dezmin Lewis in the fourth quarter.
If that wasn’t enough, he also ran for 26 yards on four carries and was the only Bills quarterback to avoid getting sacked.
When all was said and done, Peterman had thrown for 112 yards and earned a quarterback rating of 77.4, which was just shy of Tyrod Taylor’s 78.1 and an improvement on T.J. Yates’ 65.7. That’s a decent result, considering this was Peterman’s first game and the Vikings defense ranked third in the NFL against the pass last season.
Coming into the game, Peterman had been battling with Yates for second-string status behind Taylor. Yates was the presumed No. 2 on the depth chart when he was brought in, since he played under Bills offensive coordinator Rick Dennison in Houston and is entering his seventh season in the league. However, the battle has gotten a bit more complicated.
Peterman was practicing with the Bills’ second team on July 29, according to Kyle Silagyi of Bills Wire. By Monday, Joe Buscaglia of WKBW reported that Peterman’s second-team reps had significantly diminished, making him the likely third-stringer.
In addition to that, Dennison gave his take on Peterman during a press conference that same day, and although much of it was complimentary, one line stood out above the rest.
“His progression is a lot like T.J.’s when he was a rookie,” he said.
Aside from that being something of a backhanded compliment, it also revealed exactly how Dennison envisioned the pecking order for his group of quarterbacks at that time.
With that said, Peterman’s performance Thursday night may have given Dennison something to think about, and he’ll get a chance to prove himself against softer defenses than Minnesota’s in the Bills’ next three preseason outings.
If you’re a fan of Peterman, this is relevant because Taylor has yet to play a full 16-game season in his career, meaning his backup may actually see some meaningful playing time."

lol that's exactly what I love most about it. I was younger when I went and we were on a tour bus. So I'm just looking out the window at this suburban neighborhood and boom, an NFL stadium. I must say though with how much I enjoyed buffalo, I've never been to Green Bay. And being how much I liked buffalo I think seeing the last true small market franchise in sports home venue would be pretty cool.
I go up there a time or 2 per year for games. We get up there around 8AM to tailgate and the fun ends once we actually have to go watch the game! For having 17 non-playoff years the fans still show up passionate as ever. Also, it'd be an absolute shame if the NFL bullies the Bills into building a stadium in metro Buffalo. There's a charm to where it sits. Hard to tailgate properly in a metro (aka Heinz).
