He is in a coached role out there abd shows with Cole. We need bigger LBs to fill gaps.

100%

 

Imagine this defense with Fred Warner (healthy). Never missed a game until his nasty ankle injury

That was awesome, but we’re not winning any playoff games

Not with that attitude!

Agree completely on Dawkins. He gets a false start every game it seems. But I give him leeway because he’s so good. He does have his lackluster moments though for sure. 

There’s a reason Dion isn’t in the conversation for best left tackles in the game … but he’s in the top ten

Maybe not - Carolina QB Bryce Young had gaudy numbers - beat a team [Atlanta] we lost to.

31x45 448 yds 3 passing TD's 0 picks

When did Bryce Young move to the AFC?

For as much as Tremaine Edmonds gets hate he was always the leader of top 10 defenses in Buffalo.. he had range and tackled

 

And now has the most interceptions for any linebacker over the last three seasons 

 

We've given tons of guys money but we didn't resign our 6'5 255 lb middle linebacker who could run

I like Tremaine. No way the BILLS could afford him when he went to free agency. Good player but not worth what he got paid.

So what do you call several offensive possessions where there is a string of bad QB play?

Folks should be able to call bad execution for what it is.

 

I'd trade him

Realistically with some of the crazy contracts we have given out 

 

He is better than Bernard.. I don't think it's close

 

Bernard made some splashy plays in the beginning but is not as good as a middle linebacker.. and it shows in the middle of our defense

He’ll be back next year. The Bears will want to save cap dollars and we are bereft at linebacker 

[JustHewIt]

Today just shows that this is a week to week league and we're good enough to compete with anyone. Which anyone that pays attention and isnt a big negative nancy already knew.

 

GO BILLS

Correcting offensive execution earlier in games is more what I was leaning into.

Especially with how shakey our defense is trying to stop the run.

The talent is there. I’ve always thought that if he committed himself to being in top physical condition he could be in the top two or three.

How quickly people forget that Tremaine was under constant criticism here for making tackles well beyond the line and not be physically dominant.  There was almost no disagreement in this forum at the time that the Bills should have given him the contract Chicago did.  Move on.

Brady was a genius today, he knew he was going to get a facemask penalty, so he called the sideways pass on 3rd and long.

I thought this debate was dead and buried 😁

We do need LBs or a LB that can fill the right gap, shed blocks, and stop the run and that was rarely Edmunds. The Bills do need to reevaluate what they need at LB, but better DL play in front of them would not hurt. Played most of the game on their heels on the wrong side of the LOS.

And I have no idea what they were doing on the edges as there were so many plays where the DE went inside and our LBs were so pulled away by motion there was no one sealing the edge to turn plays back inside and the TB RBs were just jogging untouched down the field.

It was a bit messy today.

I don't think that's entirely my point...  He was often too criticized here because he was not Ray Lewis 

 

But seeing the contracts that beane has been willing to give out.. like Benford at 72 million for 4 years 

 

It makes you think why even trade-up and take a 20-year-old middle linebacker .. actually made the pro bowl .. just to let him walk ... Isn't that the reason you trade up to get a guy?

 

No trade.. just a compensation pick

 

Gregg r got 80 million dollars for 4 years... Edmunds was a captain and a pro bowler.. who was still getting better.. and he was healthy 

 

I certainly never said Tremaine sucked... We were willing to let him go because we thought our money would get spent wisely .. big baller Beane was his name here

 

It in fact has not.. so again this is Brandon Beane

 

He has no idea when to give out contracts.. which is why we're not as dominant as we could be 

 

I'm just starting to lose some faith in Brandon Beane
