Despite having the shortest season of all the big American sports, football, still seems to attract the most eyes every year. Because of this, the Superbowl has become the biggest stage in American sport and among the most difficult to reach in the world. Some of the NFL’s past dynasties seemed to go to the Superbowl whenever they wanted, while other teams were forced to scrap their way to the top. The Bills felt the brunt of the NFL’s pain when they lost the big game four times in a row back in the 90s, but years and years of rebuilding finally culminated in the Bills looking better than they ever have. After a productive off-season, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are poised and ready to stake their claim as the coldest team in the country.
The Wall in the North
Everyone knows the party’s been bumpin’ in Buffalo for a few years now, but some key additions to the squad will rally the troops to yet another dominant year in the AFC East. Buffalo’s first-round draft pick out of Florida, Kaiir Elam, is a tenacious corner with a lot to learn but will surely walk right into the starting lineup. His speed and physicality will make a tough matchup for almost any receiver. Of course, Elam’s opposite corner will be covered by the illustrious Tre’davious White. Interceptions, tackles, and sacks on the blitz make him the complete package and the perfect person to lockdown the sideline. Most teams avoid dangerous corners by sending shots down the middle of the field, but coach Sean McDermott has this covered with arguably the best safety pairing in the league. Jordan Poyer and Micah
Hyde mean that opposing QBs will be throwing deep balls into a brick wall. You’d think the obvious option would be to run the ball down the field, but the line of scrimmage will be controlled by two-time Superbowl champion, Von Miller, who we all know leaves no scraps when he’s on the field. With a defensive front like that, offenses are sure to be coughing up the ball on the regular.
Scoring For Fun
Last season’s playoff shootout with the Chiefs showed everyone that the Bills could make big plays downfield and put points on the board virtually at will. The Bills have made some big moves in the draft and free agency to add to the elite weapons they already had as they dial up one of the most potent offenses in football. The deep threat chemistry between Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs is getting scarier with every game they play. The pair generated over twenty-seven hundred yards and eighteen touchdowns in just thirty-three games together. On top of this, teams still have to respect the short pass because the Bills went and got Jameson Crowder, a receiver whose speed and agility will surely create nightmares in the slot. The best NFL offenses are built upon a strong run game, and the Bills have joined the party with an extremely exciting running back duo. They’ll return with their reliable workhorse, Devin Singletary, but this year he’ll be partnered by second-round draft pick, James Cook. Cook ran for over seven hundred yards, caught twenty-seven passes, and found his way into the endzone eleven times on his way to winning a National Championship with the Georgia Bulldogs. The O line may leave a bit to be desired, but this won’t stop Josh Allen from carrying his team to a deep playoff run and taking a serious shot at the Superbowl.
The Bills Mafia Boss
When Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, first hit the scene, many people weren’t sold immediately. He was timid in the pocket and lacked the poise displayed by many other elite QBs. He persisted with his craft, and now nobody can make this argument in 2022. His production last season was nothing to scoff at; he threw for over forty-four hundred yards and played a role in forty-two touchdowns for the Buffalo Bills. That glorious run was halted by a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, where Allen never got the chance to touch the ball.
One of Allen’s best qualities among his many intangibles is the fact that he never seems to lose the chip on his shoulder. After going toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes, there was never a doubt that he’d be back and better. Despite the critics, the Bills mafia have always embraced their QB, and he’s always embraced them. There’s no one else they’d rather have to break their dismal Superbowl curse
