Previewing the Season for Josh Allen and That Team of His

4 min readSep 2, 2025

Asking how Josh Allen will perform is the same as doing so about his employer. The BFF to every fan consists of approximately two percent of the roster and responsible for two million percent of the success. The Buffalo Bills season preview is too easy. The universe’s MVP has a few dozen more teammates we should probably acknowledge in passing.

The difference between the Bills and Sabres comes down to one person. It’s not the owner, which is an indication of the boss’s irrelevancy. Terry Pegula would be a double failure if his team had taken the other Josh. The Bandits remain the underground secret we hope their oblivious owner never notices. The skunkworks is successful because of the lack of oversight.

There’s one quarterback who’s so good that he’s made the man who only has a job because of him cocky. Brandon Beane has grown complacent for someone whose teams haven’t advanced past the semifinals. It’s natural to feel arrogant that Josh can do it on his lonesome just like it’s mean to not put him in the gifted class.

Wondering if there’s anyone aside from one special guy worth getting thrilled about is a troubling sign. The good thing about certain teammates not playing terrifically up until know is how much unrealized potential there could be.

The actuality of 2024’s draft dims hopes for improvement. Relying on Keon Coleman is as much of a challenge as getting separation from cornerbacks is for him. The Bills made a concerted public relations push throughout training camp to show an NFL receiver can catch the ball, which is surely a good sign.

Being named MVP is an insult to his teammates. It means Josh is more crucial to success than anyone else, which in turn means his ostensible coworkers didn’t do as much. Other players must accept their lower-credited roles like how Sulu is technically part of the Star Trek cast but is no Captain Kirk.

Everything around the team isn’t helping it. The HBO circus will be easy to blame if anything goes wrong. The attention accompanies hoopla around playing the final season in their dull, dated, remote stadium at taxpayer expense before it’s replaced with a generic, soon-to-be-dated, identically remote stadium at taxpayer expense

that tosses away opportunity for another half-century. The only thing worse than committing a mistake is repeating it. The Bills offer the best worst examples whether choosing receivers or where to play.

We need to find an oasis from not just stupid everyday life but also the wretched things about this franchise. Sports are supposed to be the distraction. The despicable welfare owner who just ruined an opportunity to help the team’s alleged home city at his own expense so he could profit from the results isn’t helping. Trying to scrape together enough to view a game in person has become a goal as unobtainable as a yacht for everybody but one family. Seeing prices to watch a game in person increase exponentially is a drawback that also explpains why people just wait for movies to show up on their home screens instead of venturing to the cinema to spend a car payment for the privilege of sitting next to people who scroll for the entire time. Modern televisions are fittingly as big as football fields.

The mooching Bills attempt to inspire with lousy decisions they’ve made away from the game. They’re technically off the field but related to it. Brace for a year of nostalgia for a venue nobody likes. Happy memories are sad ones over time. Repeating the mistake of choosing a remote location in a particularly snowy area without a roof would’ve been ghastly enough if this welfare organization hadn’t appallingly bill taxpayers. True success will be the multibillionaire paying back the $800 million he stole.

Get pumped for another season of tense anxiety. They’re all like that if you’re invested enough. The unique question regarding this particular outlook revolves around

whether they’re wasting another season of the best player they’ll ever have. The first through 50th option will have to continue singlehandedly outscoring entire teams of opponents. Attempting to limit the accumulation of points on the other side is an obvious draft strategy everyone has noticed, including fans and other teams.

The foe gets to try playing offense, too. That doesn’t seem as fun, although I suppose it’s fair. Attempting to stop them is apparent justification for not building a superhero team around Allen’s side this offseason. That word “side” works in different contexts, as he technically has many coworkers on it. But everyone knows who gets top billing alongside the pepper steak.

It’s easy to focus on the quarterback, so that’s another thing for which to thank every Buffalonian’s favorite. Fretting about mediocrity at several other positions is way better than wondering if a straggler at the game’s most important position can figure out to do once that guy crouching in front of him hands over the ball.

There haven’t been many times by percentage over the franchise’s history when the biggest question has been answered. But there are many little ones that hang in the air like an impossibly perfect pass thrown off the back foot while falling out of bounds. I hope for more of the easiest thing to take for granted.
