You don’t seem to have included the error.  
It would be more conventional to have  
ruby script/generate scaffold comment description:string

Note that comment is singular and without upper case (not Comments)  
which will make a model class Comment for a table comments containing  
a text field description. I don’t know whether having a field with  
the same name as the model would cause a problem, but in any case in  
the code if you then have a Comment object @comment then referring to  
@comment.comments is a bit odd. @comments.description or another field  
name that you like seems more natural.

Sorry I am getting it wrong myself now, it should be  
ruby script/generate scaffold Comment description:text
