Glass Half Empty / Glass Half Full

Me too. People always said Milano gets some leeway because he makes the splash plays. Well....he made no splash plays last night and sucked.

 

I think this proves that some people just have a bias against Edmunds, for some reason.

 

(I'm being purposefully harsh on Milano because that's how people have reacted towards Edmunds. I'm really not that pissed.)

 

And here I thought you might issue The Milano Report....

There's no audience for it. He's not nearly controversial enough. 😄

My glass is not only half full, it has a little umbrella sitting in it and a few olives rolling around the base of the glass.

Yes, many Bills fans have a bias towards Edmunds.

That mysterious "some reason" you are searching for is that he isn't a very good linebacker.

 

McDermott likes him due to his great speed and the way he fits into what we are trying to do on defense, which places a huge emphasis on speed and pass coverage ability.

 

My biggest complaint with Edmunds is his lack of football IQ or instinct.  He is often 1 step late and that's all it takes at this level to allow a huge play.

 

He is also easily (IMO) pushed off the play; he has trouble shedding blocks and it has been that way since Day 1; it hasn't improved.

You need to back this up with some kind of actual analysis because I could link you to Cover1, Baldinger, Joe Marino, and others who've actually analyzed the all-22 film and come away with a much different perspective on Edmunds. 

 

I believe he stopped Henry for negative yards twice last night. And how many guys have put a lick on Henry like the one he did in the 2nd half? Not many.

Could you imagine JA with a better OL and a legit RB. Even Jim had Thurman. Are we ever going to draft/sign a compelling RB?

GLASS HALF FULL: The Bills were very well represented last night at the stadium.

 

GLASS HAL EMPTY: I was shocked at how loud the Titans fans were with only about half the stadium, then I realized an entire row of people wearing Bills gear right behind us were screaming their lungs out while Josh was at the line. Apparently, they were more into a visit to Nashville than knowing anything about football. We had to have a little intervention there.  🤷‍♀️
