Not looking good against good teams
In back-to-back games, the Bills haven’t looked like they were up to the challenge against some of the teams that would be right in Buffalo’s way in terms of a Super Bowl run. The Bills’ last two opponents were the two sides that battled to represent the AFC in last year’s title bout, with the Chiefs winning that game and eventually winning the Super Bowl. In both of their recent game against the Titans and Chiefs, the Bills simply looked out-classed, especially on defense. It wasn’t even close. It’s actually incredible that the Chiefs only put up 26 points. What perhaps makes matters worse? Both losses came on primetime, too. The Bills have plenty of time on the big stage left this season, but they’re not off to a good start with the national spotlight on them.
Over the next two weeks, the Bills play the Jets and the Patriots, respectively. That’s the bottom half of their division and two teams they have to certainly take serious. But at some point, you’d really want the Bills to start keeping it closer against some of their stiffer competition.
Currently this Bills team looks little different than their 2019 squad. The only difference is the roles of the offense and defense have flipped, but good teams beat them.
