AJ can't WAIT to re-sign. Then retire in 3 weeks.

I blame global warming. Buffalo will replace Florida as a retirement destination.

At least until Terry gets drunk and starts running his mouth

LOL.  Amazing that this is now the sentiment about a guy that everyone hated and was just another wasted Beane pick!

 

Such a reactionary rollercoaster this place is.

this is every fan base.  Put up or shut up.  A 225 Mike that had an injury history in college and couldn’t unseat Tyrell Dobson until he, himself, got injured and missed the end of camp.  Not sure why anyone would have confidence in him prior to actually watching him play Mike vs an nfl team.  
 

now, I’ve seen him play and he’s looked decent. If he gets hurt, we could be in big trouble

 

did you think Bernard was going to be good?
 

 

[mjt328]

My guess is that he saw a quick path to the starting MLB job in Buffalo (just like the rest of us).

 

But after two weeks, it suddenly seems that Terrel Bernard has a pretty good chance of holding onto the job.

 

Doubt he wants to spend the whole season inactive and on the practice squad.

I was honestly just waiting for Bernard to get hurt for Kirksey to take over. It was going to take him time to learn the playbook anyhow. Bernard won't last, he's tiny

Same size as Milano and countless other NFL LBers

AJ  never left. He was living in the super secret stadium basement.

I had no idea.  I don't pretend to know more than the paid professional decision makers.  All I knew was that he was a third round pick of this regime. 

 

It's about as useless as immediate draft grades.  We'll see when we see.

oh yeah.  get ready to be told to, "go back where you came from."

[Blank Stare]

Hate to lose him. Great depth behind Bernard. Bernard is really small so hoping he can stay on the field all year. Don’t know that bringing back AJ Klein is the best move though. Yeah, he knows the system, but are there no other linebackers available with some athleticism on the street that are under 70 years old?

[Big Turk]

Probably doesn't see a path forward here with the way Bernard has been playing and the Bills likely told him as much...he was insurance against Bernard not looking the part, but he has very much looked the part.

[Your Brown Eye]

But Reader's Digest said that Buffalo is the nicest place in America???????????

Klein can always be counted on to be in the right position and know what he is supposed to do...might be a step slow getting there now, but trusting the player knows what he is doing is a huge thing in this defense because they are a technique and positional defense which requires all players to be on the same page to function at a high level.

You mean that you don’t pretend to have an opinion.  Got it.  
 

It’s a message board….this is what people do on message boards. Give their opinions.  
🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 

[Gisele]

I'm jealous.  I have two years to retirement and can't go a minute earlier.  I wish I could just spring it on my bosses and walk out.

[Ben]

This would have sucked 2 weeks ago but really with Bernard exceeding most of our expectations I don't really mind.

Yes, I know it's crazy, but I generally develop an opinion once I actually have something to observe.
