So according to the same rating site that people are now posting, he was playing as a bottom tier starting linebacker. So is PFF only accurate when they rate Bills players high? Can't both be true? He wasn't playing great and then played a great game? He was playing fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't playing great and then played a great game? Correct. He wasn't playing impactful football early in the season and then he played a tremendous game Sunday. It shouldn't have taken PFF grades for anyone to determine that. Eyeballs would suffice. Hopefully this game was a turning point for him. He's had some(few) games in the past where he flashed like this and then didn't maintain though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their grades and analysis lack any context. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably have no further insight into the play call and his responsibilities than PFF does. In the end it is just an opinion. And if he continues to play well I will be happy because having a young MLB that is playing well is a good thing. But if he plays poorly I'm not going to stop pointing it out for him or any player. Its juat analysis and has nothing to do with my Fandom or wish that they all play well. Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referencing them in any capacity is hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm happy that Edmunds had his first strong game of the season. I'm a little surprised it was strong enough to win defensive player of the week, but just glancing at other box scores no other defenders are really popping out. Edmunds is already trending for another Pro-Bowl despite playing average (at best) football for 3 out of 4 games with the only quality performance coming against a bottom tier offense starting a 3rd string QB.

Try to think about what you said, then openly look at what his total responsibilities and individual impact for that game were, and the outcome, as it was measured to be the most dominating defensive effort since 1983 iirc…, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fischer Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 To me, Edmunds doesn't need awards and "splash" plays to prove he's an extremely important cog in the Bills defense, but it sure is deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to his pro bowl honors. Named because the competition was lacking. He was the best player on a defense registering it’s 2nd shutout in 3 weeks.

billsbackto81 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I don't hate Edmunds but let's face it, Edmunds would make the HOF if he played against Davis Mills every week. Play well against Mahomes and I'll gladly have the biggest slice of crow for dinner and humble pie for dessert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
