Bills is still in a disappointing level of football. In the regular season, it is a good team, but in the playoffs, it does not continue to pass Chiefs.
The defeat of 32-29 in the AFC Championship on Sunday was the fourth defeat in five years when Buffalo lost to Kansas City in the playoffs, and three of those four losses occurred in Arrowhead Stadium. Buffalo has recorded 61 wins and 22 losses since early 2020. The Chiefs is the only team that has won more during that period. But Bills couldn’t even play Super Bowl in that game. For those five years, they recorded 0-4 against the chees in the playoffs and 7-0 against other teams.
So the story will be the same. How can Buffalo and Josh Allen pass Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes? Bills was able to beat Chiefs in the regular season, but at the most important moment, he could not do so. It was defeated 42-36 in the fourth quarter draw, the fourth quarter of the fourth quarter, the 4th quarter of the previous season, the 27-24 and 2022 season.
Buffalo won the Division title for five consecutive years after owning AFC EAST after Tom Brady left Patriots, but the success did not fall short of Super BOWL. Bills has won 48 wins in the last four years, and has won 49 wins for four consecutive Super Bowls from 1990 to 1993.
Therefore, the next season will be a simple preface to the inevitable conflict with the January Health. Can Buffalo win enough games to secure AFC’s top seeds and confront the Buffalo, not Kansas City? Allen’s legacy with Buffalo will be entirely consumed in the shades of mahomes until Allen overcomes Chiefs and enters the Super Bowl.
In 2025, Bills will also have a surplus draft pick, which will allow them to draft an in -depth rookie class or package picks that can go up to what they want. They are two reward draft picks for losing two free contracts (FA) in the Trading receiver Stefon DIGGs, additional picks for Texans, the fourth round of other trades and the sixth round picks, and the two free contract players (FA) Since then, it has a possibility). Last year, there were receivers Gabe Davis and Edge Russian Leonard Floyd.
They will have to rely on drafts for impact because they don’t have many upper limitations to sign a significant contract in the FA. They have exceeded the current 2025 salary upper limit, but they can reconstruct the contract, reduce or trade athletes to create an additional upper limit.
In the case of the FA, there are only two athletes who have high maintenance costs. This is the receiver Amari Cooper and Connor Back Lagul The Glass, which was acquired by Browns in the middle of the season. Safety Damar Hamlin is also a FA, like the receiver Mack Hollins, who touched it on Sunday. James Cook, who led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns last season, is in the last year of a rookie contract and is now a profitable extension.
Bills must face the first place again. The Super BOWL teams, Chiefs and Eagles, will play in Buffalo during the regular season. However, the schedule is also a possibility that Bills will be able to sweep four games potently by providing easy divisions in NFC SOUTH, but they will face difficult divisions that are likely to have multiple playoff teams in AFC NORTH.
BUFFALO has won at least 11 wins for five consecutive years, which is rarely successful in the regular season, but the franchise will not reach the first Super Bowl, which is hard to find until Bills finds the same kind of victory in January. championship. Not long ago, the franchise spent 25 years in 2020 without winning a single victory in the playoffs.
At this point, however, the pains of loyal fans of the team are not relieved, especially at this point, especially watching the entry into the Super Bowl every year.
