#10 Keon Coleman 🦬 In each of Drake London's three seasons, he has been moved around the formation with increasing frequency, culminating in a 2024-25 season during which he only played 60% of passing snaps from wide alignments, and finishing with the 4th most receiving yards in the NFL. I submit that Keon Coleman ought to be similarly distributed among the pre-snap pass-catching positions (X, Y, Z, F) to make the most optimal use of his length and strength. If Brady dials things up right, Josh can just sit back and sling the ball around the field to any of the now many weapons he has at his disposal. Defenses should be back on their heels in 2025-26, and if they can no longer sleep on Keon, he'll have earned his nomination as my 10th most important Buffalo Bill for this year.
Thanks to The Draft Professor for the tip about how enjoyably home-grown out Buffalo Bills roster is 🙌

#9 Ed Oliver 🦬 In 2023, the year after signing the $68mm 4-year contract extension that made him the 13th-highest paid DT in the league, Ed Oliver had a career year. In this episode I'll tell ya all the reasons why Ed could easily have been considered a top-5 (or, really, top-4) interior pass rusher in 2023. Unfortunately for Bills fans - and for Ed Oliver, and by proxy Brandon Beane and Bobby Babich - Ed Oliver's production saw a significant statistical drop-off in 2024. So, while experts like Joe Marino and Kyle Crabbs were on the verge of labeling Oliver a "Roster Cornerstone," heading into this season, Marino and Crabbs are hesitant to call him anything better than a "Sufficient Starter." So... what the heck?!

#8 Landon Jackson 🦬 A river runs through the gulf between the positive feelings that many in Bills Mafia share about our Mike Linebacker, Terrel Bernard, feelings that evidently also permeate throughout One Bills Drive from whence a four-year contract extension worth up to $42mm was drawn up this offseason, an extension that made Bernard the 12th-highest paid LB in the NFL, and what PFF thinks of Bernard. 48.2. That's Bernard's 2024 overall defense grade from PFF. But I love the guy and I'll tell ya why! I also project a decent likelihood for a high volume of snaps for rookie Landon Jackson early in the season, not only as a consequence of Michael Hoecht's six game suspension, but as a result of my hottest offseason take, which is that AJ Epenesa is bound to get traded.
Of course, since I've said it out loud, it won't happen, but I'm standing by it nonetheless. Go Bills.

#5 Spencer Brown and #6 Dion Dawkins 🦬 As this edition of Bills Bills Bills has them ordered, are stalwarts. Textbook. Bookends. While so many in Bills Mafia whine, complain, and, dare I say, bitch about Josh's lack of weaponry, Beane and McDermott have done marvelously to drafted, develop and re-sign the two most important offensive players not named Josh Allen.
Oh, and, the first 10 minutes of this episode are spent, again, talking about TJ Sanders. I guess I really like the guy. Hope I feel this way in six months! Go Bills.

#4 TJ Sanders 🦬 The offseason was built for list-making, and "Sean McDermott defenses are designed, schematically and with specific personnel, to bend an opposing offense until that opposing offense breaks." That's a line from this episode. Do you like it? DO YOU?! This episode is all about TJ Sanders, and my goodness, I hope I'm right about everything I've said about him in the edition of Bills Bills Bills because I've said a lot about him in this edition of Bills Bills Bills and if all I've said is correct I'll have one helluva receipt I'll be able to wave around as a badge of honor touting my impressive football acumen.

#1 Josh Allen; #2 Matt Milano; #3 Taron Johnson 🦬 Tis the season for Joe Marino to invite his Bills-expert homeboys, Bruce Nolan, Nate Geary, Anthony Prohaska, et al to join him in building the annual Consensus Top-10 Most Important Players to the Future of the Buffalo Bills list. And, so, though my invitation to add my two cents to the pot got lost in the mail, I've built a list of my own. And I've split the detailing of that list into three episodes. Inside this episode, I've detailed why I've got Josh Allen (ever heard of him?) in the top spot, followed by Matt Milano and Taron Johnson. My whole list looks like this:

Earlier this week, Joe Marino's annual list of 10 most important players to the Buffalo Bills' future success hit streaming services far and wide, and so, though I am too small a fish to be part of his panel, I'm crashing the party anyhow and entering into evidence who I would nominate to be on the list: TJ Sanders, Ed Oliver and Matt Milano.

WAR GAMES '25. The Fins could be in trouble when they host the Bills in Wk 10 at Joe Robbie Stadium or whatever that half-capacity Orange-Bowl-with-a-bad-facelift is called. And not just intra-game trouble that sees Miami's score lower than that of the Bills' come the final whistle, but an organizational variety of trouble that could spell the end of the Mike McDaniel era the week before Tua, Tyreek and Tyrel, Jaylen, Jaylen and Jaelan pack their bags for an International Game in Madrid, that is, if Joe Brady and Bobby Babich follow the game plan that Randall and I have devised in this WAR GAMES edition of Bills, Bills, Bills!

WAR GAMES '25. The new-look Jets, with Aaron Glenn at the helm as the HC, Tanner Engstrand (who followed Glenn from Detroit to East Rutherford) as the OC, and Steve Wilks as their DC, will trot out an offense with Justin Fields as their QB, and neither CJ Mosley nor DJ Reed on their defense to meet our belovéd Buffalo Bills in Week 2. And Alex Cullen joins me in agreeing that one team should be heading back to Buffalo 2-0 while the other limps back to Embassy Suites Newark Airport 0-2. Alex doesn't think the Jets' secondary can hang with our high-floor - and possibly high ceiling?! - collection of pass catchers, from Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid, right on through Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Josh Palmer, Elijah Moore, Cook, Davis and Johnson, and even, yes, Dawson Knox.

Inside this edition of Bills, Bills, Bills, I'm doubling down on my stubborn insistence that Matt Milano, having played so few snaps since the fractured tibia he suffered during the Bills' Oct 8, 2023 loss in London to the Jaguars, should be able to return to his full and complete "Mint Milano" form in 2025. I am also doubling down on my confidence in Dalton Kincaid's ability to show up and show out and show the haters what's what with a big-time bounce-back year in 2025. Oh, and I ❤️ Javon Solomon.
This edition of Bills, Bills, Bills stands on the shoulders of giants:
