Opinion: The Big Picture: Here we are!
‘Obviously there’s a difference between depth and talent on paper and going out and doing it. There were still questions, like if Josh Allen could take another step after a really nice one from Year 1 to Year 2. Questions about Stefon Diggs fitting in with Allen and the offense, especially in a shortened offseason. Questions about where the Bills fit in the AFC East, considering there were still the New England Patriots to deal with, it was still Bill Belichick, they had just signed quarterback Cam Newton. Check. Check. And checkmate.’

Bills re-writing the record book, and they’ve only begun
‘You don’t beat this Bills defense by dinking and dunking. Something tells me Fitz will see the field Sunday. It would be an exciting and heart-warming finish to a wild season if he had a chance to beat the Bills and break his 16-year drought.’

Stefon Diggs says his potential with Josh Allen is just ‘scratching the surface’
‘“I feel like we’re somewhat scratching the surface on the potential that we have. I feel like Josh is still a young quarterback but right now he’s playing some elite ball. He’s throwing for 300 plus, he’s making good decisions, he’s not turning the ball over, he’s running you know stuff that we’ve seen from Josh this whole season,” Diggs explained.’

He did leave the game under his own power without any need for trainers to run on the field and attend to him.’
Bills are set up for 2021 and beyond
‘It’s hard to have sustained success in the league where the initials can stand for not for long. The Patriots are the outlier in just about every metric. But smart teams have been in the mix for a series of years. The Chiefs, Steelers, Seahawks and Packers are examples of what can be done in different ways. But the Bills have put themselves in a spot where they don’t look like a one year wonder. Every season might not be like 2020, but having the QB and being in the mix every year is a great place to be for an NFL franchise.’
