The Buffalo Bills will enter the offseason knowing they have to capitalize on Josh Allen's prime, and the biggest question is: "How do we do it?"
Joe Brady is the new head coach, so there will be offensive continuity, but a star receiver is needed, and on defense, adding some key pieces will also be necessary.
So, there is plenty to do for the Bills to get back to the playoffs in Brady's first year, but let's make one thing clear: there will be no grace period for Joe. He needs results and fast.
And for ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg, describing Buffalo's offseason in three words, she's picked "Pressure Is On."
"With Sean McDermott's firing after the team's overtime loss in the divisional round, the expectations are high for what new coach Joe Brady and president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane can do to help quarterback Josh Allen reach and win a Super Bowl," Getzenberg wrote. "That starts right now, as the decisions made this offseason in the draft and free agency will go a long way in determining how successful Allen is for years to come."

Brady in tough spot in Year 1
Most first-time head coaches will get a little runway to sort things out. Mistakes can happen, and there isn't real pressure to win.
But Joe's situation is different.
He has a prime Josh Allen and takes over a team that, under Sean McDermott, was a perennial 10+ win team over five years and made the playoffs every season.
So that will be the bare minimum expected from Brady in 2026.
And that, my friends, is the very definition of the "pressure is on."
