Comparisons to bad ones could be equally instructive. Tough to quantify though with so many odd little variables, not with just the players but also with destinations and situations, and the inevitable bias that creeps into something we're emotionally attached to.

The only thing I disagree with is that this game had any chance of becoming interesting at any moment

It looks to me like they've had him spending more time chasing TEs and he's not getting as many chances to attack the LOS. If they're protecting him they need to stop, because he's already protecting himself.

They're usually good at End with troubles on the inside, but today all 4 positions really struggled. They should have plenty of gas in the tank for Thursday

This would absolutely be the best option, but it's also November and you can't beat him to a pulp 2 months before the playoffs even start. There almost is, but I think the case for Shaq, Bernard and Cam negates it. I've always been a Taron fanboy but Lewis is a more dynamic defender now so I'm sort of OK with that switch. But even right now, 85% of Bernard is a better option than Williams. And if he continues to get better (which he has been) the case becomes even stronger. He's about the third/fourth level of the trickle down problem caused by Oliver's injury. It murders us at every level of our rotation.

That doesn't make him a footnote (or even a feetnote). And that was not pop music; that was the best rock 'n' roll band in the world for a measurable period.

Just not allowed to lead with the crown of your helmet any more.

geebus, at least walk 30' away from the injured guy before you call a penalty on him

Give him a break. The poor guy is blind!

And who exactly are you going to replace them with that can take on an unfettered Guard in their face? The problem is up front and no other amount of tweaking can fix that, imo.

55 Flood Tip Good luck to you, Bernie. And even better luck to your surgeon.

He was out there a lot

They're still bringing Hancock in for Poyer on anything longer than about 3rd/6.

Tre started and played the first few series then Hairston played a bunch after that.

The majority of the Bills problems on defense are rooted in the issues at DT and it's not likely to get any better unless Oliver returns.

If anybody is going to be sitting it won't be Bernard; it will be Milano, imo.

Two asshats acting like asshats

Oh, he's certainly got a bad wheel. I was referring more to his reads, decisiveness and overall impact.

Occasionally a decision is made to leave it out there and enjoy the ensuing fireworks

You kids and your damned electronics!

He is as often as not, but he's also spending waaaaayyy too much of the game with a Guard in his lap. I'm pretty confident that the bulk of the Bills defensive problems right now have their roots in the DT position. That hasn't been the case all year long but it has recently and was again today, imo.

If you want to talk about why you think Bernard should be benched, go for it. But keep your personal garbage out of here.

Edwards was awful today and Dion also seems a little off the last couple weeks.

Good plan after Bernard just played the best game he's played this year
