The [Buffalo Bills](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/buffalo-bills) continue to employ maybe the best football player on the planet, QB Josh Allen.
The Bills also have yet to reach a Super Bowl with Allen as their quarterback. So what gives?
Well, there's a question in recent years of whether the Bills are doing what they can to maximize Allen.
[The Athletic's Jordan Rodrigue](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7119743/2026/03/16/nfl-free-agency-2026-analysis-summary/) gets straight to the point with that in a new article on Monday.
"It’s now-ish or never for the Bills with quarterback Josh Allen in his prime," Rodrigue writes. "They addressed receiver with a trade for DJ Moore and signed pass rusher Bradley Chubb, but as the first wave of free agency settled, I found myself asking the same question I have for the last couple of offseasons: Have the Bills actually done enough? They need younger ascending pass rushers and have questions at offensive line and in the secondary. Was this must-win team, well, aggressive enough?"
That question, "Have the Bills actually done enough?" -- that's the one.
That's the one every fan in Western New York wants to know. Anyone you talk to wonders whether the Bills need to do more, wonders whether Brandon Beane is the right man to lead the front office, wonders if DJ Moore is the best fit for Allen to throw to.
The Bills slept through the 2025 trade deadline when they had multiple obvious needs, and it may very well have cost them in the playoffs, even with a wide open AFC field that didn't include Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow.
Either the Bills will eventually find a breakthrough, or they'll have to live with an incredibly confusing era of excitement paired with end-of-season disappointment.
At some point, the home run swing has to come, doesn't it? Because lately, it has felt like a lot of sacrifice bunting.
