The Buffalo Bills are entering the new season with a MVP-winning quarterback in Josh Allen, and the rest of the team isn’t so shabby, either. The team is focused and ready to give it their all going into the 2025 season. How great would it be to finally see the Bills win their first Super Bowl? Not to get ahead of ourselves, but that’s the goal.
Heading into the upcoming season, though, no team is perfect, and the Bills have some weaknesses. So, what is the one thing the Bills have to really work on to take things to the next level in 2025?
A ‘Flaw’ in the Buffalo Bills
In a June 12 feature for Bleacher Report, Moe Moton names one “roster flaw” that could give trouble to a handful of teams that are favorites to make it to the Super Bowl.
“Every year, fans’ hopes turn into despair when their team can’t overcome its flaws,” Moton notes in the feature. “Sometimes, clubs are able to correct those issues early with personnel changes, roster moves and tweaks to game plans. Other times, a team’s downfall seems inevitable.”
He notes that usually, it’s easy to see the weaknesses in the teams that aren’t very good, but it’s more difficult to see those weaknesses in stronger teams. So, utilizing information from DraftKings, he determined which teams have the best odds to win Super Bowl LX and named which issue could hold them back.
For the Bills, he points out a “lack of star power around Josh Allen in big moments” and notes that, of course, the Kansas City Chiefs “are the biggest obstacles in the Buffalo Bills’ pathway to a Super Bowl title.”
He adds, “The Chiefs have beaten the Bills in four of the last six postseasons. Buffalo can match its rival at quarterback with 2024 MVP Josh Allen, who’s capable of making spectacular game-winning plays as a passer and ball-carrier, but the team may not have enough around its star quarterback.”
So, Moton says that it shouldn’t all rest on Allen. “The Bills shouldn’t have to rely on Allen having an MVP year to reach the NFL mountaintop,” he notes in the feature. “If two-time Pro Bowl running back James Cook holds out in the summer after reporting to mandatory minicamp, Allen may not have the playmakers around him to get this team over the hump.”
Even the Reigning Champs Have a Weakness
The Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions after beating the Chiefs last season, but they’re still included on this tally. Moton notes that they could struggle under new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. So, there could be some growing paints with that move.
“This offseason, the Eagles lost Kellen Moore, who accepted the offer for the New Orleans Saints head coaching position, and promoted Kevin Patullo to fill the offensive coordinator role,” he notes.
He adds that, “The Eagles defense should remain stout with Vic Fangio still in place, but one has to wonder if Patullo can optimize the talent on the offensive side of the ball.”
