Are the Buffalo Bills Sustainable Super Bowl Contenders?

How sustainable is what the Buffalo Bills are doing here, Craig? That's my question. I'm once at the top of the AFC East, great, but how sustainable is the way they're playing football right now? Yeah, look, it feels a lot like last year. The only thing that you could just hope for is that different results come, Joe, in the playoffs. You have to just hope that and hope that in three or four weeks their defense starts to play better. That wasn't the case last year. It may not be the case this year, but there's always hope there's always like hoping that something that has not happened is going to happen for you but certainly Buffalo probably wins their 12 games 13 games whatever it is division ends up getting a bye probably wins in the first round and then you know plays a team and then there's two minutes left in the game in the playoffs and that other team has the ball and and they probably score and send Buffalo home like it's happened in the last five years so is it Baltimore is it uh i don't know is it some other team and i'm having a hard time or Kansas City like is it one of those teams too but let's not take anything away from the Bills there's still one of the best three or four teams in the NFL but playoff wise yeah you gotta eventually you have to play defense in order to move on in the playoffs and you really don't have to in the first round but you do in the second you do in the AFC Championship you do in the Super Bowl and and i I haven't seen anything that makes them look any different, Joe, than a year ago. And by the way, Josh Allen, they said, oh, every year, oh, we're not going to have him run as much or whatever. Finally, we saw a little bit of that. But generally speaking, he's still running all over the place, still throwing to the same receivers. Offensively, the only difference for them is Keon Coleman looks like a real guy now. That's a big change from a year ago because Moore has been hurt. So Coleman has been playing well. So, look, if we crap on Buffalo, Joe, then it's basically like we've crapped on the whole league because that's what we're down to here at this point very few teams look great Kansas City San Francisco if we were doing tiers I think I don't know how you feel about it but I'd put them at the top and then right after that is probably Buffalo and I may do Buffalo Joe in its own tier and then there's just everybody else that doesn't even matter like Baltimore yeah sure with Lamar Jackson right like you said earlier yes that's a different story and that's there but the rest of the league is very mediocre so you know the teams i have the most interest in right now moving forward that i think have a chance to rise significantly same team i thought week one it's the bears definitely curious to see how they play the rest of the season i'm still gonna believe in them i'm not giving up and loveland scored a touchdown for me last week by the way which was great too but i'm not giving up i'm not giving up on the bears i think the bears have something special i'm not sure yet but i'm gonna hang tight with the bears and then last week and we talked about during the week and then yesterday a little bit too i wanted to see carolina beat somebody decent on the road and they did against philadelphia so i i i got a big dark horse in carolina right now thinking that they are gonna have there i think they're gonna win the division fairly easily and i i think they got a good shot to make some noise Joe this is this is a pretty good team i'm actually surprised this is a surprising team for me
