This is insane.

He has a $20 million cap hit this year. How much of that would be on the hook for? I see we can cut him after this season with only a $1.1 million dead cap hit, just not sure if we can afford him for this season.

To be fair, Bernard was a healthy scratch in the divisional game last year. The coaches gave him less and less snaps after his starting opportunity against the Jets until he wasn't even on the gameday roster. Then in training camp he had lost the job to Dodson and then suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of the preseason. Nobody in their right mind thought he was going to take over the job and suddenly start lighting it up. Mostly I was just hoping to get replacement level play from that position. I would bet if you asked McDermott in confidence even he'd admit to bring surprised by Bernard's play. Out of nowhere he is playing like a superstar.

Annual scheduled post

Just a reminder of how absolutely insane this throw is, and I will never take these throws for granted no matter how many Allen makes throughout his career.

I disagree, I thought we dialed up quite a few long developing pass plays and the pass protection just held up really well, plus Allen stayed in the pocket or escaped when the defensive coverage won the play. Execution won the day for offense, not coaching IMO.

I have nothing bad to say about the defense. Incredible almost perfect performance from them, and had to overcome a few officiating mistakes too. The offense though has some legit concerns. And we're about to face a team that just put up 70. We have to look crisper than we did today and we can't afford any goofy play calls in critical moments.

They need to recognize that Harty was a bust of a signing and take him out of the game plan. The problem is who can we count on outside of Diggs?

Right now the #2 receiver spot is a hodgepodge of guys, none of them consistent or exceptional. It is a major concern. For now it will have to be Allen making magic happen and Cook maximizing his opportunities.

I think Allen and the defense saved him multiple times. To be fair to Dorsey, we do not have a true #2 receiver out there. It's a major handicap on this offense.

Dominating defensive performance is the story of this one. Hats off to McDermott. The more aggressive style is working. Dorsey was our biggest problem on offense, no creativity and several bizarre play calls.

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 our window open. It's a huge development.

I honestly haven't really watched them this year, but every time I watched them last year I thought Trevor Lawrence was one of the most overhyped players in the league. Too many mistakes, not nearly the generational prospect that everyone made him out to be.

As much as I hate seeing the Dolphins score that many points, it's almost worth it to see Sean Payton get totally embarrassed.

Thank you Ron Rivera for gifting several of our depth players a nice stat line to look at later.

We just slowly suffocated Washington out of the game.

Get Cook out of the game

Was Leslie Frazier actually the problem with our defense? Was Edmunds much worse than any of us thought? Whatever the reason, the defense this year has been a revelation.

Wow!!

Superstar

Ken Dorsey owes the defense a nice dinner.

Again, Dorsey has a very poor feel for 3rd and 4th down play calling. He has been the main problem with the offense today IMO.

He had several years of awful defenses with New Orleans too. I have no clue why he has such a high reputation. He got his SB but mostly the Saints stalled out year after year, and with an all-time great QB.

You can't take aggressive throws out of Allen's holster. The offense won't move without them.
