Outlook for the Buffalo Bills
By: Jake Rajala
The Buffalo Bills are a sure-fire Top-5 team in the NFL. They have the reigning MVP Josh Allen and a stout defense. With that said, I’m going to take an exciting angle and untwine the best and worst case for the Bills. Let’s begin.
Best
The Bills ranked second in PPG last season, right behind Detroit. Besides Allen, they had playmakers like James Cook and Khalil Shakir. The Bills also ranked 12th in PPG allowed! Let’s not forget Buffalo ranked fourth in takeaways last season. Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau, and Von Miller were a few of many enforcers that helped their defense nearly match the offense. Joey Bosa was added this off-season, too.
I believe the best record that the Bills could have is 13-4.
Worst
The Bills WR group is far less than daunting. They don’t have a 1k yard WR. They should bring in Amari Cooper or OBJ in my opinion. They believe if Tom Brady doesn’t need an elite WR1 that Allen doesn’t need one. With that said, their WR group is the only major concern that I have. One of my minor concerns is that I’d like to see a better RB2. The Bills current RB2 Ray Davis isn’t an RB who should be getting the ball in the playoffs against the Chiefs.
I believe the worst record that the Bills could have is 9-8.
In the end, the Bills need to get over the hump. This roadblock holding the Bills back has been the Chiefs. They have the ingredients. The Chiefs weakness is a pass rush from the opponents DL. The Bills DL can get home without needing a blitz. This is why they added Bosa. There may be room for Von Miller to reunite with the Bills.
