Bleacher Report's Maurice Moton projects the Buffalo Bills to finish third in the AFC East in the 2024 NFL season.
We’re just a few weeks away from the commencement of the 2024 NFL season, with preseason games now serving as an appetizer as we prepare for the main course. The ramp-up games serve as an opportunity to glean some additional information about clubs around the league, but they’re largely meaningless; teams tend to avoid putting their schematic wrinkles on tape in the preseason, and thus, the games aren’t necessarily an accurate representation of how a team will look come September.
“As Josh Allen builds connections with his new receivers and stronger ones with familiar faces, he may play a little more hero ball than the Bills would like to see, which could cost them some games,” Moton wrote. “Yet he's talented enough to get hot and go on a run similar to last season. Despite key departures on defense, head coach Sean McDermott maintains a top-tier unit to help out an offense that may struggle in spots.
The team’s roster, sure, has been better in past years than it is now , but Allen has found offensive success with lesser receiving corps in the past; his 2019 unit was headlined by John Brown, Cole Beasley, and Isaiah McKenzie, and the team went 10-6.
Moton’s suggestion that Allen may be forced to play “hero ball” also seems misguided. The offense adopted an ‘’ approach in the offseason; the unit is constructed of a bevy of versatile players who can get open and provide several options for Allen each play, this a departure from the primarily Diggs-focused attack the team has deployed in the recent past.
It’s possible that Buffalo’s egalitarian philosophy backfires and Moton’s concerns manifest; however, to suggest that the team will finish with its worst record since Allen’s rookie season due to a receiving corps that doesn’t appear to bebad seems misguided. Only time will tell if Moton’s questions are warranted; the Bills kick off their 2024 season on September 8 at home against the Arizona Cardinals.
