Today, we should discuss the Buffalo Bills.

Are the Bills now ready to take the next step and make the playoffs?

Things to consider:

Does EJ play a full season?
With Pettine departing, will the Defense take a step backwards?
Will the D stop teams from running wild?
Have the Bills done enough to improve in the off-season?
How does the loss of Mr. Wilson impact this franchise this season?

Enjoy the weekend wherever you are!
