What is the worst-case scenario for the Bills this season?
The bar is high for the Buffalo Bills in 2021 and rightfully so. After seemingly never finding their way out of the basement of the NFL, the Bills broke through and then some a year ago. Just last season the club one was game away from earning a spot in the Super Bowl. Per PFF, this is the worst-case scenario for the Bills in 2021:  Josh Allens tendency to put the ball in harms way has a bigger impact on Buffalos offense than it did last season. Despite his career year, his 23 turnover-worthy plays in 2020 still ranked second among all quarterbacks behind only Carson Wentz. Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison lose a step with age, and the Bills younger group of edge rushers isnt ready to step up. Buffalos 36.9% pressure rate from a season ago (sixth in the NFL) takes a hit as a result. In a bit of good news, the football analytics outlet came to the conclusion that the Bills worst possible outcome might be an 8-9 overall record. Thats much better than some of the worst seasons the team ever had during their near two decade playoff drought. But the Bills fortunes next season absolutely reside on the right arm of Allen, thats something thats not up for debate. Buffalos offense led the way for the team throughout 2020 and that side of the ball lived and died with the passing attack. So yes, if Allen takes a step back, the Bills will to some extent as well. However, considering he only has played three NFL seasons, the ever-optimistic Bills Mafia does have a point theres a chance the QB hasnt even hit his ceiling yet.
