I put some stock into preseason performances. It’s all we can go on at this point. We can’t go on last year….Saffold and Bates won’t be out there. It’s a different OL.

No, the key point here is that this is a message board and this is what we do here prior to the actual game. Discuss bills football. All we can discuss is what we’ve seen to date. What I’VE seen to date is less than what I consider a viable Mike starter in the nfl. until that changes, that’s how I see it. I am actively hoping to be wrong.

I think Pittsburgh has a dominant dl. I was alluding to the preseason game

I thought to myself that he’s acting a bit differently this year. Doesn’t seem as self assured. Almost as if being the DC and calling plays while also being the HC is more difficult that he anticipated. I feel that he’s feeling the gravity of it all. or maybe I’m just clueless and have no clue what I’m talking about. For the DC/playcaller to be unaware of rodgers and HACKetts past is beyond strange

The last time we saw our OL Vs a good DL we committed 4829 penalties is 3 minutes. Or something like that. I’m not saying that our OL is going to get rolled…..but I think Dorsey needs to call himself a great game. Dorsey and OL……. 🙏🏻

I’d rather comment on this post and read other content on the board as opposed to scrolling on Twitter. I’ve probably opened the app and scrolled on it 200 times in my lifetime. edit: but thanks for doing it for me 😉

I said it’s one of the reasons. The main reason being he’s better outside causing having. He played mostly strong side, not weak. But being 222 and a starting mlb isn’t ideal. Hence “one of the reasons”. playing LB isn’t strictly tackling. They have to take on blocks and not get steam rolled. When Bernard puts some of that on tape in the nfl, I’ll be a believer. I’m not saying he won’t be good “solely” because of his size. But it has looked to be a problem during his small sample size in the nfl to date from my eye. I think you might be underestimating the affect strength can have on a LBs success or lack thereof in the nfl. Maybe Bernard is much stronger than he looks. But I think he’s going to get rolled vs the run. Surely hope that I’m wrong. I’m rooting the the kid big time. If he can play and play well, our d will be legit legit

I was just thinking how strange it was that the weekly game thread was only 6 pages on Wednesday and knew the reason why instantly.

I really think the way we played Vs Cinci turned everyone off. It’s the last thing they remember. What was the last thing they remembered the previous season? Josh Allen playing the best QB anyone’s ever seen…… and everyone had us pegged as SB champs. Recency bias in full effect. We’re better on paper but some of the key Players are another year older. According to Vegas, we’re the 3rd best team in the league. I’ll take their word over talking heads looking for clicks. Follow the money. There, you will find the answer.

I’m fully confident in our teams abilities but It’s a beast of a schedule. The end of the season can’t get much tougher. If I had to predict the exact record and my life depended on it, I’d say 10-7 with a WC berth. But fully capable of winning the Super Bowl. What better way for us to win the SB, winning 4 games in a row on the road to take the Lombardi.

Best case would’ve been Elam playing slights out and earning the job, that said I’m happy Benford won the job. I’m eager to see what he can do. I’m worried about him getting beat deep but he’s a demon in the box and as a tackler. I love his demeanor out there. 4.52 isn’t fast but with good technique and instincts can be fast enough to be a good corner. I think we have incredible depth at corner. Eager to see how Torrance and Brown grow together out there, especially in the run game. There’s some good potential there.

What about KCs defense without Chris jones makes you think they can stop the Detroit offense to get up a few Scores early?

Yeah that’s was the case in a big way last season.

And that’s one of the reasons that’s that Milano isn’t a middle linebacker…. Roquon weighs 236. Bernard is 222. How is that slightly lighter? And Bernard doesn’t look any bigger than he did last year. Put on 14 LBs of muscle and tell me you’re slightly heavier afterwards. And “slightly” stronger. Roquon is much stronger, takes on blocks much better and has advanced instincts. Did I meantion he has 14 more pounds of muscle than Bernard. that’s why people disliked your post. I wasn’t even one of them, but it’s obvious to me why they disliked it

I agree with this if Hyde plays. Rapp is the ideal guy to fill that LB/big dime role playing instead of Bernard. He might be a better run defender than Bernard as it is. But if Hyde is out, I’d prefer Rapp plays S and Bernard get the inside snaps, rather than Rapp inside and Hamlin or Lewis taking Hyde’s spot. it’s going to be interesting. Our DL and run D needs to be on point or it’ll be a long night.

WTH!!!! No sweet little vid to get the anticipation goin? Sheesh. That’s a step down

I’m looking for Det +5 but can’t find it anywhere 😞 I don’t think they cover 5 without Kelce and Jones.

If Kelce is out you like them -5 huh?

As we did to them

Oh that’s perfect. My mom can sleep on the floor and she’ll watch the kids when you’re not at home. My wife and I will be at the beach every day and we can bring the dogs with us. They’ll live their best life. What’s your address?

If Kelce is out….paired with Jones missing the game, that KC home crowd better bring it. They could be in trouble. if Kelce had torn his acl, their season would’ve been over. See how this works. Lots of luck involved

Spot on. Looks like a few to choose from but my money is on Drake Maye being the 2nd QB off the board. It could be a very interesting qb class

Let’s do it! I’ve been in the Las Vegas hotel/f&b/hospitality industry for 25 years.

I can buy a boat if @Antoniohas room for me!

Dam. Sending thoughts and prayers his way.
