Since the summer of 2014, when Terry and Kim Pegula purchased the Buffalo Bills, the team and franchise have been on a steady upward climb. The speed of that climb increased precipitously when the GM/head coach combo of Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott, respectively, arrived three years later, in 2017, and the final piece of the proverbial ‘big four’ (owner, GM, head coach, QB) puzzle was added when the team selected quarterback Josh Allen with the seventh overall pick of the 2018 draft — six slots after Baker Mayfield and four slots after Sam Darnold.
If you’re saying to yourself, ‘Ah, Allen’s not that good’, you may be right — he’s probably better than you think.
