This is a really weird take. The Bills made a good pick in Bernard, which you hated at the time... and so now, because he's good, he's simply a "scheme fit" and they "got lucky" ... hmm...

The defense effectively runs through Jones. He’s everything we wanted from Star Lotulelei and more. Last year he was incredible and you saw the impact when he was out one game, the Bengals playoff game. He effectively takes on double teams, can rush the passer, is fantastic in run support, and frees up our smaller linebackers. One could argue Groot and Ed are similarly important to the defense, but Poyer, Miller, Hyde, etc., are not as impactful, in my opinion.

In McDermott's presser, noted that DaQuan's injury "will require surgery" Surgery = tear, not a sprain. He's probably done for the year.

As is the new tradition after every loss, send in the clowns! @Mark92 @ThriftyGamer83 @LarryMadman

I’m surprised you found two people to agree with you. Congrats! 👍🏼

Ok and how about Dane Jackson…

It's kinda more embarrassing for Ryan Poles. He turned the #33 pick in the draft into a swap of 6th and 7th rounders in one year. 😬

Because he played for us for 1 season in the last year of his career.

Or ... is he saying Gabe Davis is underrated in an attempt to prompt a 1:1 trade? 😵

He has gotten completely embarrassed all game and Logan Thomas is having the game of his life. Bears twitter is blowing up. Tremaine Edmunds apologists can officially take the L forever. https://x.com/barroomnetwork/status/1710117323439268189?s=46&t=E40WAbu8GsA_XsQdsioRYw https://x.com/aaronlemingnfl/status/1710116973453930777?s=46&t=E40WAbu8GsA_XsQdsioRYw https://x.com/deeksviewog/status/1710117878534455537?s=46&t=E40WAbu8GsA_XsQdsioRYw https://x.com/chicago_nfl/status/1710122431191355795?s=46&t=E40WAbu8GsA_XsQdsioRYw https://x.com/lib_crusher/status/1710121945092542849?s=46&t=E40WAbu8GsA_XsQdsioRYw

The case for "elite QB makes the coach" keeps getting stronger. Different offense with Brees vs Russ. Daboll proving that out as well. Along with our good friend, Bill.

Before anybody says it, no. Not us.

I'd be more into this thread if we weren't playing away overseas against a young, talented team this week. Let's get through this week, then maybe talk about runs.

We need more stories like this. Happy for you!

This.

Seems kinda crazy to assume that after spending two pre-seasons, a full season, and a whole offseason with Bernard… and not drafting any middle linebacker … and letting Edmunds go … the Bills coaching staff had no idea Bernard was good and they were just yolo’ing it. Perhaps we just didn’t know what to expect as fans and Bernard’s injury forced Dodson into the lineup during the preseason?

DHOP STILL TECHNICALLY AVAILABLE!

My brother... What? He needs to go to a hospital and get help.

Fun fact, Dalton Kincaid is tied for 9th most receptions by tight ends in the NFL this year. So ... yeah, we're going to use him and we've actually already used him more than most TE's in the NFL.

I'm watching the Cover 1 breakdown of Bernard and want to highlight 1 play that tells you a lot. Look at this run fill at 16:25. Bernard blocks the initial read and forces Brian Robinson to the right in a heavy formation. He then has the instincts and quickness to follow the pulling guard and tight end into the open lane. This run play would have been a huge gain with Edmunds. I'm sure of it. It also gives me confidence that Bernard can use his lateral quickness to overcome power run schemes. We might have ourselves a keeper.

If only there were a 15 page thread about eating crow dedicated to Terrel Bernard....

What's the deal with this topic title? "The Bills biggest problem on offense remains unchanged" Last year, was it not Saffold? Rookie playcaller in Dorsey? Lack of a good slot option? Or ... if we're talking about this year ... what were you expecting after 3 games that is now so unchanged? Spencer Brown was going to take the Week 3 Leap?

It doesn't stop there either. Don't forget, because Chicago paid him so much, we are getting a 3rd round comp pick for Edmunds as well. So, instead of paying Edmunds $18M per year, we essentially get Ed Oliver on a long term deal, Terrel Bernard at MLB, and another third round pick. Not bad!

For the fans it's an exciting component of the game. For the players and coaches it's an unnecessary head-on collision between two freight trains at full speed. It's only a matter of time before they get rid of it and we'll all miss it until we don't... which should only take a couple of years.
