“The loss against the New England Patriots at home was bad, but the Buffalo Bills are probably still the best team in the AFC right now, but you could convince me that another team is deserving of that title. Buffalo does have an easier schedule this year and should be able to win 13 or 14 games, perhaps locking up the top seed in the AFC playoffs. Buffalo is trying to get over the hump in the postseason, something they have not done in the Josh Allen era. Could 2025 finally be the year?” — Lou Scataglia

Ranking 4-1 NFL teams: 3rd out of four

“Buffalo took a bad loss at home against the New England Patriots, and that is huge in their quest to capture the AFC East title yet again, as New England is now 3-2 on the season, and second-year QB Drake Maye is playing out of his mind. The Bills should be fine, but the defense is nothing special, so that could end up being their primary weakness most of the season.” — Lou Scataglia

Head coach rankings: 10 – Sean McDermott

“A bad loss against the New England Patriots is not nothing. Sean McDermott and the Buffalo Bills probably just want to fast-forward to the postseason, but they have to win the AFC East first. Buffalo is a nicely-run operation, but they do have some weakneses on the defensive side of the ball that need talked about, and they really do not feel like a Super Bowl-caliber team at all.” — Lou Scataglia
