An elbow injury is expected to keep Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen out in Week 7 and potentially beyond, which means Nathan Peterman will be in line to start against the Indianapolis Colts. Unless, of course, Bills coach Sean McDermott listens to the concerns of his other players.
According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, there is a feeling within the Bills organization that McDermott is in danger of losing his locker room if he starts Peterman.
I’m also told the Bills haven’t decided who will start at QB…There is a feeling in the organization that veteran QB Derek Anderson has to start or Sean McDermott is in danger of losing the locker room after Nathan Peterman’s latest performance

Buffalo signed veteran Derek Anderson last week, and it sounds like Bills players believe anything would be better than Peterman at this point. After his first drive against the Houston Texans resulted in a touchdown on Sunday, Peterman threw a pair of interceptions — one of which ended up being a game-losing pick-six with just over a minute remaining in the game.
Peterman has now thrown nine interceptions and just three touchdowns in six career games. You can tell by the way fans reacted to his latest miscue that he is not well-liked in Buffalo, and that is apparently the case among his teammates as well.
