I respectfully disagree here. There's a big difference between preparing to play Aaron Rodgers, then getting Zach Wilson vs preparing to play Zach Wilson. The latter is much, much easier.

Looks like Dolphins are back to back week 3 Super Bowl champs, even with our own board members. Week 1: Beat the Chargers by 2 (who lost to the Titans and almost lost to the Vikings) Week 2: Beat the Patriots by 7 (who lost to the Eagles and almost lost to the Jets) Week 3: Ran up the scoreboard against a team with "special needs" What could possibly go wrong?

When you hear about the "New York Media" this is what everyone is talking about. Imagine Jim Kelly coming out and saying he thinks EJ Manuel sucks and he's seen enough. That has to be horrific for a kid's confidence. You can never come back from that. Dumpster fire organization and honestly ... we knew something like this would happen.

Bumping this, as more Bernard threads keep popping up.

THERE’S STILL TIME TO SIGN DEANDRE HOPKINS AND ZACH ERTZ. WE CAN DO THIS!

Please use this thread ... I see several other old ones floating around. Bernard has been a beast. Through 3 games: 2 sacks, 2 interceptions For comparison, Tremaine Edmunds SEASON HIGH is 2 interceptions (once) and 2 sacks (twice).

Please merge this with my newer thread.

guys - please there's a huge thread:

For anyone doubting Beane's craftiness, remember that: - Beane signed McCarron to a 2 year deal for $10M. - McCarron had a decent pre-season game or two, then got injured. - Beane traded McCarron same season to the Raiders and got a 5th round pick. - McCarron was released 1 year later on that same deal by the Raiders. Free 5th round pick for a street free agent that only had a cup of coffee with the Bills.

One comment on this, then back to Bernard discussion. I don’t think it’s fair to say they voluntarily downgraded at QB. They benched Carr at the end of the season because he was imploding and Carr openly expressed his frustration and desire to leave. It was clear as day he had run his course in Oakland after nearly a decade there.

A few nice clips of his run fills here: https://x.com/cover1/status/1704230868594663547?s=46&t=E40WAbu8GsA_XsQdsioRYw

Can we kill this thread? There’s a better thread that actually talks about his play and gives him praise, which he deserves after the first two weeks.

I see a lot of people talking about his size like he’s tiny. Roquan Smith is 6’1” 232. Fred Warner is 6’3” 230. Those are arguably the two best linebackers in the league. Bernard is 6’1” 225 … we just need to get used to guys who don’t look like a pterodactyl playing ILB. It hasn’t been a bad thing thus far.

How wrong were all of us about this guy?? - Led the team in tackles Week 1 and Week 2. - Huge interception Week 2 and a nice PBU. - Looked solid in coverage, redirecting routes and erasing short gains. - Surprisingly good in run fills both weeks. Quick trigger and getting downhill fast. Sure tackler. I don’t think any of us saw this coming, but a HUGE development if what we’re seeing early continues.

This is a great take. The most likely reason for his regression was definitely a random hit in the Packers game which made him lose confidence. Anyone saying it was the torn UCL in his throwing arm is a fool.

She fits the size we’ve been targeting in the third round. GIT ER DONE BEAN!

As one Mandy Glab haterz, I hope the Bills use this as an opportunity to replace her with someone talented or at least a little less annoying.

It’s literally week 1.

This would be an elite move paired with a trench coat and sunglasses

Milano was an All-Pro and can be a game wrecker… Von is a hall of famer… Are they not enough?

Id like to officially throw “bend but don’t break” defense in the same trash pile as “blue collar, high motor defensive ends” like Chris Kelsey and Ryan Denney.

All I can say… he must be significantly worse than we all thought. A second round defensive end with two cheap years left with ANY talent gets much more in return.

Assuming this is a “we can’t keep missing on picks” thread in disguise. It makes it harder to win if we miss draft picks, but I’d like you to name another team with a top 3 QB whose window was closed while that player was playing at a top 3 level. There isn’t one. They compete every year.

Ok, so I know we have Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid and Quintin Morris but …. Zach Ertz? 100 page thread or we riot!

I don’t think that’s the reason for the discourse. The reason he got people riled up is there was a huge contingent of Bills fans and Media analysts who swore he was elite, but many people disagreed. It didn’t matter how many times he whiffed or what Beane said when he was gone, many fans seemed brainwashed by his measurables, age, and draft pedigree, rather than his on-field production. I’m happy he got paid and I’m also happy we didn’t pay him. It’s both and yesterday’s whiff was a nice reminder.
