I haven't watched a pre or post-game show in years. I find the availability of content so ubiquitous that it makes the pre-game shows irrelevant.

Yes, during tonight's game, Josh will be too distracted by the commercials he made in the Spring. No doubt he's rehearsing lines rather than studying tape.

I agree. Nothing will hold back a Super Bowl more than Josh appearing in commercials.

Overall: very good. Split screen was the way to go, especially with Red Zone. One option I hope they include is the ability to build your own split screens.

If he wasn't, Klein or Dodson would start.

Yet at the same time, many fans on this thread have concluded that Bernard cannot be a good MLB because of his size. His size "could" be a factor, but we won't know that until he's played a few games. Who knows, perhaps instinct, technique, and athleticism will win out.

It's NOT optimism, it's let's see how he plays a game or two before you call him a bust. This rush to condemn a player who has a decent pedigree is just so weird.

I can't tell if this is a troll job but just in case . . . 45 plays is 15-30 less than an average full game of defensive snaps. Moreover, he took those snaps over their first seven games, which is not an adequate measure of a player's ability. As for your college analysis, it seems you forgot to mention he was a team captain, twice second-team Big 12, once first-team Big 12, and MVP of the Sugar Bowl.

The key point here is we don't know anything until Bernard's snap count is large enough to make a rational evaluation. Too many here seem to have prejudged Bernard before he's had any significant playing time. However, when so many fans disliked to hated Edmunds, there's little reason to believe there'll ever be any kind of consensus.

Milano doesn't play Middle Linebacker because of size, it's because of temperament and skillset. Nearly every decent Bills expert says that Milano doesn't have the personality for MLB and the team would never force him to play out of his natural WLB. As for size, a player 6% lighter can easily be a better tackler than those bigger than him. As for whether Bernard WILL be a good linebacker has yet to be determined, but it won't be due soley to his size (or supposed lack of it).

So your "evidence" is a picture on the internet where the players are not standing next to each other, but you're quick to dismiss the measurables reported on team official websites? Good one.

It's amusing that some have disagreed and disliked this comment when it's just a simple fact.

Bernard is not undersized. He's bigger than Milano and slightly lighter than Roquan Smith.

Panic much?

If everyone plays well, then the Bills don't require another "Superstar."

That game was a highlight of the previous seventeen years.

I guess, but other than QB, there is rarely one player that defines a season. As for pass rush, I think the line has just as much variance with Rosseau, Floyd, Oliver et al. If they play at a higher level under McDermott's schemes, then the Bills don't have to depend on Miller's heroics. And if they don't play at a higher level, then an outstanding Miller may not make a significant difference. It's truly a team game, and it takes nearly every position playing well, week after week. Which is why it's so hard to win the Super Bowl.

If well over 50, just enjoy it. There is literally nothing you can do. As for the "13 seconds," what can you do? Doesn't mean they would have won the Super Bowl and you probably would be saying something similar. I truly believe this is a better team and if most things go right, they can be win it all. If not, I'll be devastated but life goes on. It would also help to look at the history of preseason Super Bowl odds. Even the "experts" are usually 🤷‍♂️

"I just think that our team is weaker than last year." - You may want to compare the two rosters. "With all the pundants saying the Bills window is closing," - You probably spend too much time listening to the wrong pundits. I don't know how old you are, but for those over 50, this could be our greatest time to be a Bills fan. So enjoy every second because it may not be this good for quite a while.

Sounds like you have a sad life.

I'm in the "I trust Beane et al and cool with whatever they do."

I'd rather do one game at a time.

Of course not. It's amazing you folks love to hate the US National Team and your "patriotism" only works for you when it's convenient.

My God, I already told you that the two leagues are completely different, therefore there is no reason to make the comparison. I get it, you don't like women.

You are deranged.
