I’m one of them and have never back away from my thoughts. He was never as bad as the mob claimed. Same folks said Oliver is a bust. Anyway, that bears defense has been kicking ass the past 5 weeks and so has Tremaine. 

Apparently we’re too busy complaining about our team to remember this thread. I thought it was going to be a weekly “let’s make fun of Tremaine” thread.  You guys disappoint. 
104 tackles, 4 ints, 1 forced fumble
4-1 in their last 5 games. 
Haven't given up more than 20 points in that stretch. 
Giving up an average of 15 points per game in that stretch. 
2 interceptions and 1 forced fumble in that stretch. 
Da Bears were actually in the playoff hunt until last week. 
 I don’t think this happens without him. 

He still stinks. 
 

Terell Bernard is clearly better. And I don’t think Bernard is some defensive All-Pro future HoF talent. And he doesn’t have Milano next to him. 

 

The plays were there to be made in the McD defense. And Tremaine didn’t make them enough.

The addition of Montez Sweat has changed their defense 

 

Not sure how much Edmunds has made a difference TBH

It's hyperbole to say that Edmunds was considered "bad".

 

He was just a huge underachiever in Buffalo........and Terrel Bernard is showing exactly why.

 

McDermott's defense should make a star out of a MLB............it made Preston Brown the leading tackler in the league in 2017 for chrissakes.........but Edmunds could never do everything from the position.

 

Bernard has restored what should be "the norm" at the position..........a ton of tackles and big plays of all sorts.

 

Edmunds has astonishingly made some plays in coverage this season..........but that's the only change.

 

His production around the LOS is still anemic.......tackle numbers still low........0 sacks 0 QB hits and just 5 TFL to go with 1 FF and 1 FR.

 

Bernard has not only produced his share of INT's...........but 6.5 sacks, 10 QB hits 9 TFL and 3 FF and 3 FR.

 

If a player with Edmunds' pedigree and Edmunds' body had done that he might be looking at first team All Pro.

 

Bernard has only further exposed the deficiencies in Edmunds game...........trying to paint it any other way is foolish.

He’s making plays without Milano in Chicago now. You can 💩 it all you want, but it’s fact.

You’re right, the bears are doing this in spite of their big defensive acquisition this year.😂😂

He’s playing better in Chicago than in Buffalo. Otherwise there would be 100 pages of the mob making fun of him. Wonder why this thread went dead? Right, he shut the mob up. 😂😂

That was the premise of my post. Haven’t heard from the mob since the Bears picked it up on defense. Especially Edmunds. 
Foolish is still making fun of him and then shutting the eff up when he balls out. Typical mob mentality. 

[34-78-83]

Its accurate to point out that a MLB in this defense should get some good #'s and opportunities, to Edmunds discredit, but I think its also a discredit to Bernard's ascension to think that his current list of impressive #'s would be fully "expected" in this defense. He has surpassed those expectations with such a full stat sheet, and I was one of those that were 100% down on him until he got on the field in meaningful games this season! His arrival may have saved the season more than any player other than maybe R Douglas, with what happened with Milano.

I always thought that it was in relation to the fact that you signed this huge contract and we were not able to afford him, but replaced him with a third round pick who has played better
 

Never understood the Edmund’s bashing It’s simply a salary cap thing.

Sure. I guess he just lucked into the interceptions and forced fumble during this stretch. He has nothing to do with the turn around. 🙄
Typical of TBD to deny this. 
Still funny how the mob has shut the eff up on this particular thread. 

 

Dear Bills mafia,

I was having a blast reading the mob poking fun at me. Where y’all at now? Haven’t heard from you in a while. You disappoint .

Considering that Tremaine had gone like 77 games between forced fumbles you may be right..........he may have just lucked into it. 

 

Edmunds has been far inferior to the unheralded Bernard this season.......or the heralded Roquan Smith........whom Tremaine essentially replaced after the Bears traded the All Pro to Baltimore at the 2022 deadline (which has since helped transform the Ravens defense).  

 

And while Edmunds has actually has made some plays in the pass game this season.........he's otherwise been a disappointment..........his PFF grade has fallen precipitously and he's had some embarrassing moments.........like getting benched against the Chiefs.    

 

Only a dope would be trying to take some kind of victory lap for Tremaine under the circumstances.

[Coach Tuesday]

The two INTs I happened to catch were definitely lucky, as in tipped right to him.

I had my doubts before, but now I am pretty sure that this is either his mom and/or agent. 
 

New Year’s resolution, be salty!

[Airseven]

Edmunds has been solid over the past two months. Coverage, tackling, takeaways. He’s a big part of their turnaround.

In fairness.........he had a few gift-wrapped tips come hurtling to him when he was with the Bills.........he just reacted like the ball coming to him was an impossibility and got hit with the ball prior to it falling to the turf.    

[TheWeatherMan]

At $18M per year, he stinks!  Drafting Bernard and prioritizing an Oliver over Edmunds extension looks like pure genius by Beane. 

[Malazan]

Hey, the 1st round 18 million dollar LB is playing like 1/4 as well as the guy that replaced him and the guy he replaced. Don't you all look like fools!

Would you be being positive about him if he was wearing a Bills jersey this year?

I’ve seen Milano drop at least 2 of the same. Nice try. lol.

NO !!! - 73 Total Tackles - 29 assists - 4 INT's - 0 sacks - 0 TFL's - I'm not thinking he's missed much !! 

 

Bernard - 134 comb tackles - 53 assists - 6.5 sacks - 3 INT's - i don't think Edmunds is missed !! 

[Orlando Buffalo]

Edmunds is a different style LB then what we have now. Comparing him to Bernard or even Dodson is not very effective because the requirements are different. I like Edmunds but at his cost he was not worth it and we have obviously made do with his replacement.
