I laughed when the excuses for Edmunds not making any plays was that “he had too much on his plate/it’s not his job/he doesn’t play the same position as Milano, doesn’t have the same freedom to roam.” No, he just wasn’t a playmaker. Bernard undoubtedly has a nose for the football and is making the plays our last LB could not. 

A quote that really stood out to me from Matt Ryan was: (this was after TBs fumble recovery)

 

Something like: “Good football players just seem to have a nose around the football”.

 

Which made me think of watching edmunds for 5 years who seemed to never make a play around the ball

I can't remember the last time a player was completely counted out after his rookie season and then suddenly transformed into a true game changing player like this in his second season. The Bills needed something like this to happen to keep our young pipeline going strong and keep out window open. It's a huge development.

It’s a nice development for us but let’s see how Bernard performs now that offenses need to account for him. Amazing game, but let’s keep a high standard of play going. Jury is still out.

Bernard was a BEAST today, all over the field.  Meanwhile Edmunds takes himself out of the play on the Chiefs TD.  🤷‍♂️

Nice.

I need context. Is that an old TBD post or a new post from a Chicago fan forum.  It looks the same to me.

And don't forget "He's only 19!"

THE BILLS are setting league trends now with TB..!!

The Commander of all TB43 talk over here 

He's not a old style lb he's a strafety and he goes where he needs to  be if he's going after the ball or after the qb whatever the playcall sends him to do.  Buffalo wings and a prayer get you  a St Bernard as the defensive wrinkle that will be getting flowers delivered to them by opposing Bieniemy's.

How can you forget the biggest excuse: be patient, he’s very young.

SPOT ON post and my exact same thought process. Just glad we moved on and gave Milano the $ over Edmunds.

And let’s see what Milano and others do now that offenses need to account for TB.

wait. Tiki was play by play, and that was Matt Ryan as color??
 

This mystery story for me is unfolding like the Summer of 1985 in LA.

Edmunds is getting embarrassed against the Chiefs.  

[BBFL]

Will give this man his due. The last 2 games I have been very impressed and he certainly looks to be the right choice of starter. 
 

hopefully he can continue the level of play against better teams…

[Thrivefourfive]

Okay, this is not what I ever thought I’d ever ever type on this forum, but comparing Bears Edmunds @ KC (CHI DC raided by FBI this week to boot) with what happened already in Washington by his replacement’s game of the century is actually a little unfair haha. 

There’s #49. Getting laid on for the Chiefs TD

After 5 seasons with the bills, we still question beane and McD, and time after time, they're often right

I was prime among the doubters - I really thought he would be a liability.

 

Bernard > Edmunds and not just marginally.
