Pro Football Focus: Buffalo Bills have a 'Tier 1' offense

August 7, 2021 by Bills Wire Leave a Comment

For decades… yes, plural, the Buffalo Bills had an offense that just could only be described as lackluster.

Throughout their playoff drought at the turn of the century, the Bills had some stout defenses. Buffalo’s offense often seemed to be a reason for concern.

Not anymore, and Pro Football Focus has reflected that.

In their latest tier game, the Bills offense lands at the top of the pyramid. Buffalo was named one of five “elite” offenses in the NFL:

Josh Allen’s breakout 2020 season propelled the Bills offense into a different realm the franchise hasn’t visited for a long time. Allen’s overall PFF grade jumped from 64.1 in 2019 to 90.3 last season and put him among the very best players in the league. Stefon Diggs also proved to be a shrewd acquisition, as he thrived with the extra opportunity he received within the Buffalo passing attack. This offense is also one of the league’s most cutting edge in terms of pass-happy balance on neutral downs, giving them an analytics boost over many other units in the league.

Along with the Bills, the Chiefs, Buccaneers, Browns, and Packers were handed the same status on offense. One can expect that to continue with the way training camp is going.

Reports from Orchard Park have only indicated that Allen & Co. are looking exactly like they did in 2020. That’s a good sign for Buffalo and if the defense can close the gap, even a little bit, the Bills will be poised for another top season in 2021.

In achieving that, another telling sign from PFF comes via the rest of the AFC East. Overall, the football analytics outlet have five different tiers. If the Bills are at the top at No. 1, then No. 5 is the worst tier.

The Patriots, Jets and Dolphins all appear in the fifth and bottom tier.

That’ll make things a lot easier for the Bills in the division if that holds true.
