NFL.com ranks Buffalo Bills offense in top 10 ahead of 2024 season

Although the media is constantly counting the Buffalo Bills out due to extreme roster turnover this past offseason, NFL.com analysts, particularly Gennaro Filice, still have “Billieve” among them. In an article highlighting the NFL’s top 10 offenses in 2024, Filice ranks Buffalo as the eighth-best offense heading into the new season.

If we’re being honest, the eighth seems generous given the known state of the weapons quarterback Josh Allen can work with at this point. The Bills are ranked behind teams like the Los Angeles Rams, Cincinnati Bengals and even the surging Green Bay Packers. However, Buffalo averaged the sixth-most points per game in 2023 (25.3) and is still led by Allen – widely considered the second-best quarterback in the NFL.

However, Filice primarily credits Buffalo’s top-10 ranking to Allen, noting that he is a “rocket-armed, quick-footed monster, 6-5, 237 pounds” and has been Focus on professional football‘highest-rated quarterback in each of the last two regular seasons. It’s no surprise that Allen is considered Buffalo’s “signature strength” – but when the “disturbing weakness” is the over-reliance on him, it makes the upcoming season stressful for many members of the Mafia from Bills.

Filice credits Allen’s ability to “confuse defenses as a one-man army” but worries that’s not a winning formula in an increasingly loaded AFC. The emergence of the running game under offensive coordinator Joe Brady was promising. Despite this, can the new wide receiver room step up to make plays for this offense?

What do you say, Bills Mafia? Do you agree with the ranking? Are new faces like Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman enough, and are they ready to step up and unlock a new identity for this offense?
