Over the last few years, the Buffalo Bills and superstar quarterback Josh Allen have been among the favorite to win a Super Bowl.
While the Bills have been so close from bringing their first Lombardi Trophy back to Buffalo, they simply haven’t been able to win the big game when it matters most. There has always seemed to be one missing link that has held the team back.
Heading into the 2026 NFL offseason, it has been made clear that the Bills mean business. They have been aggressive from the very beginning.
Right off the bat, Buffalo acquired wide receiver D.J. Moore from the Chicago Bears. That move will give Allen the No. 1 target that he has badly needed. Following that move, the Bills have gone on to make a few more aggressive swings.
Other than Moore, Buffalo has brought in players like Bradley Chubb, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and Dee Alford, while also re-signing center Connor McGovern, Dawson Knox, and other smaller moves.
With that being said, polarizing sports analyst Skip Bayless has weighed in with strong words about the Bills’ chances during the upcoming 2026 NFL season.
Skip Bayless Didn’t Hold Back Strong Words About the Buffalo Bills
During a segment of “The Arena: Gridiron,” Bayless boldly stated that he sees the Bills not just making it to the Super Bowl, but winning it this year.
“Not only do I pick them to get there, I pick them to win it. It just feels like it’s going to be their year,” Bayless said.
Bayless then continued on to open up about why he believes Buffalo is in store for a championship season.
“I like the new energy that he’s going to bring as the head coach,” added Bayless. “Sean McDermott was just boring to me, and I think he’s a boring pregame speech-giver, and just, he was solid but boring. And they needed new offensive energy, and now Joe Brady is at the controls of the whole football team.”
Another specific reason for Bayless’ belief in the Bills stems from new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.
“I have always been a big Jim Leonhard fan since his days playing for Rex Ryan in New York,” he said. “He’s just smart, and he’s savvy, and he’s been doing this for a long time at Wisconsin as well as in pro football. He’s gonna—he will make this defense the best it can be.”
Winning the Super Bowl Means Everything to Josh Allen
Allen has become one of the biggest superstars in the NFL. He won the MVP award two years ago and is one of the most feared quarterbacks in football.
Back when he won the MVP award, he made it clear that bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Bills Mafia was his only focus. He doesn’t care about the individual accolades.
“Being mentioned for MVP means your team is doing really well, probably in the hunt for the playoffs, and you’re doing your job,” Allen said. “It doesn’t change my life to have that accolade or to have more of those accolades. The only thing that I’m worried about is doing everything I can to bring a Lombardi Trophy here.”
Hopefully, the 2026 season brings Allen that goal. Buffalo fans have been patient. Now, it’s time for the Bills to go win a championship.
