"The Bills have a tendency to play Lawful Good Football in even years and Chaotic Neutral Football in odd years so far this decade, and the pattern held in 2024. Blowout wins in primetime games against Miami and Jacksonville in Weeks 2 and 3 were a damn strong argument that the Bills hadn't gone anywhere, even as key contributors like Stefon Diggs, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, or Tre'Davious White had departed in the offseason."
"On offense, the Bills completely redefined themselves. What was once a unit known primarily for its cast of name-brand receivers fully transformed into a meathead bonanza, with RB James Cook leading a rushing attack that put up thirty-two-32!-touchdowns on the ground. The offensive line was once again one of the best in the game, with LT Dion Dawkins becoming a bonafide star player in his own right."
Buffalo Bills finished 13-4 in 2024 while initiating a soft rebuild after jettisoning core veterans. The team relied heavily on Josh Allen to sustain high performance. The Bills displayed the decade-long even-year Lawful Good versus odd-year Chaotic Neutral tendencies, with primetime blowouts over Miami and Jacksonville underscoring competitiveness despite departures of Stefon Diggs, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, and Tre'Davious White. The offense pivoted to a run-first identity, powered by RB James Cook and an elite offensive line anchored by LT Dion Dawkins. Khalil Shakir emerged as an elite slot receiver, while rookie Keon Coleman flashed inconsistently and several veteran additions failed to produce.
