Fresh coaching changes and a roster overhaul have redefined Buffalo’s identity. We break down whether Joe Brady’s squad maintains its powerhouse status amidst a shifting AFC landscape.
The Buffalo Bills enter 2026 with plenty of questions surrounding the team.
There's a new head coach in Joe Brady, a new defensive scheme under coordinator Jim Leonhard, and a number of new faces to the roster. But has what Buffalo done enough to keep them near the top of the AFC and NFL as a whole?
It's episode 39 of the Bills Roundtable Podcast. Join hosts Mike Straw and Anthony Moeglin as they take a look the moves the Bills have done this offseason and talk about whether or not they should still be viewed as a top 3 team in the AFC.
What teams are they competing with the most at the top of the conference? And are they even the best team in their division heading into this season?
Also in this episode, Mike and Anthony talk about Brandon Beane and the moves he's made (or hasn't). Do the Bills play it too safe with the moves they make to improve the roster? Are they scared to take the big swing.
Plus, Josh Allen enters his ninth season with the Bills, but how much pressure is he under to get to a Super Bowl. Is 2026 the season where he has the most pressure? And how much longer will he tolerate not getting to the Super Bowl with Buffalo? Could his time in Western New York be coming to an end sooner than many may expect?
Finally, Buffalo is expected to make the playoffs for the eighth straight season. But what happens if they don't? What does a season without the playoffs look like for the Bills, and what changes could come out of it?
