This will go over well.

Throw all draft scouting reports away. We’ll see what happens. The Bills have set themselves up for criticism here. But they were not forced into this situation. They 100% felt they had a starting MLB on the roster. You have let everything play out. I still remember seeing an interview of Marv Levy talking about having some stud RB from Coe College. I was like who the heck is Fred Jackson. He can’t be serious.

It’s the zero qb plan. If Purdy is actually good they’ll have to make a lot of tough decisions.

That is true. All offseason Beane talked about Edmunds being too big to cover in man. Bills have a plan here and we’ll see how it turns out. I think they want to challenge receivers more this season.

It reminds me a lot of Kiko Alonso. We’ll see what happens.

5 years ago. Guys like Bruce Smith must be wishing they were born 30 years later.

It’s hard for fans because they didn’t like the Bernard pick. He didn’t play well in his 1 start as a rookie. The Bills didn’t bring in any competition. This isn’t a situation where the Bills were forced into this situation. This was chosen. One of the chosen won the job. Now had Kirksey started week 1 I was ready to criticize them. I actually predicted he would start week 1 because I also don’t have confidence in this group. But the Bills chose this group. Im glad it’s Bernard. To me it looks like it was their plan the whole time.

There’s been 1st round picks that looked lost in their first start early in the season. If you’re getting blocked you already lost.

Size really doesn’t matter anymore. Different game. It’s all about instincts and making the right read. Shaquille Leonard played MLB at 215 LBs.

They sign Klein for a reason last year. Trust wasn’t there in the young LBs. I let actions speak and starting Bernard definitely shows confidence. They could’ve kept Klein around a few weeks to fill the hole until Kirksey was ready. Bernard has a huge opportunity.

Weird.

Our defense for whatever reason is prone to giving up a huge run. I think it’s because of our safeties taking poor angles but it’s a problem.

The fear is because he fell down the depth chart as the season went on. Typically you’d think a rookie with starting potential would rise up. But hopefully it was a learning the defense issue. Plus injuries at safety didn’t help.

Been that way for a while.

There’s 10 teams that can make the playoffs in the AFC without shocking anyone. That doesn’t even include the Sean Payton/Russell Wilson lead Broncos. The Titans have a shot also with an easy division.

I mean he could’ve been lost. Rookie MLB in his first action.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Bills fan base hate a draft pick more than Bernard? Holy smokes.

No. Ankle, Lower muscle injuries, and back injuries are not how you want to start a season.

Makes you wonder if Bernard was the guy all along or did Dodson lose it? I think it was Bernard’s job all along. Huge opportunity.

He’ll be 33 in season. Yes that’s old for a starting player.

He’s old.

Terrell Bernard named starting MLB.

It’s strange because it’s not being talked about much. Just updates here and there but this seems like a huge story. Something fishy going on.
