Summary

Josh Allen put up one of his most accurate seasons yet, but is it enough to keep the Buffalo Bills at the top of the AFC? With shuffling at wide receiver and a spike in sacks, Joe Marino digs into why Allen’s big-play magic wasn’t on display as often—and why better talent and health at receiver could be the key to getting the Bills back in the MVP hunt. The episode breaks down Allen’s standout numbers, where things went sideways with the offense, and what Buffalo needs to fix this offseason—from ironing out the QB depth chart with Mitch Trubisky and Shane Buechele, to getting serious about offensive line upgrades. Will the Bills finally give Allen the help he needs? Find out what has to happen for Buffalo’s superstar to go from great to unstoppable in 2026.
