This season is starting out unlike most for the Buffalo Bills — they’re actually expected to do well.
I’m kidding, but only partly. For the better part of the last two decades, the Bills have gone from terrible to mediocre. They were a team stuck in purgatory with no way out.
Things have finally changed.
They have Josh Allen, who broke out last season and became the guy the front office was hoping for when they selected him in the top 10 of the 2018 NFL Draft.
They have Stefon Diggs, a top five receiver in the league, along with Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley and Gabe Davis catching passes as well.
The team also has a solid defense to support its high powered offense.
Buffalo is in win-now mode, which feels weird to write out. This team will only go as far as the offense takes them, however.
That sounds crazy since they have one of, if not the best offense in the NFL, but they still need to get past the Chiefs.
Kansas City is what is standing in the Bills way to a Super Bowl berth for the first time this century. You know that you aren’t going to be able to stop that offense with all of its weapons and superhuman Pat Mahomes under center.
So that means Josh Allen and the offense have to be better than that.
The team, while mostly the same, has made some large changes, like switching out John Brown for Emmanuel Sanders as a pass catcher.
They also drafted two defensive edge players with their first two picks this year.
Can the Bills finally get to the promised land? It remains to be seen. What is known is they have the talent to make a push toward a Lombardi trophy right now.
