The Buffalo Bills have stormed through the first four weeks of the season with a perfect 4-0 record, and they are looking every bit like the powerhouse many expected. Josh Allen has once again been the catalyst for Buffalo’s offensive dominance, leading a unit that has scored at least 30 points in every game and piled up more than 350 yards of offense each week. Even with a defense that has shown moments of inconsistency, the team has proven it can overwhelm opponents on both sides of the ball.
Offensive coordinator Joe Brady, however, isn’t satisfied with simply being productive. In his view, Buffalo has only scratched the surface of what it can become. “We’re playing really good football and there’s a lot of positives, but we’re leaving opportunities out there,” Brady said. He pointed to too many three-and-outs as an area for concern, noting that when the Bills sustain drives, “good things happen.” For Brady, the standard remains high, and he believes the offense has yet to reach its full potential.
A big part of Buffalo’s early-season success has been its ground game, which has taken pressure off Allen and made the offense even harder to contain. James Cook has been in spectacular form, rushing for more than 100 yards in three of the team’s first four contests while finding the end zone five times. But the rushing attack doesn’t stop there—Allen’s scrambling ability and Ty Johnson’s physical style have added valuable depth, forcing defenses to respect multiple threats. Behind a strong offensive line, the Bills have topped 150 rushing yards in each of the last three weeks.
Cook has become the centerpiece of the ground game, averaging close to 20 carries per game recently, but the combination of power and unpredictability makes Buffalo uniquely dangerous. With Allen able to torch defenses through the air and on the ground, opponents are left guessing. Brady’s comments suggest that even with this balance, there’s another gear the offense has yet to unlock—one that could make the Bills even more explosive as the season progresses.
The message to the rest of the NFL is clear: if this is what Buffalo looks like while still “leaving plays on the field,” then the ceiling for this team is frightening. With an elite quarterback, a revitalized rushing attack, and an offense hungry to improve, the Bills are positioning themselves as serious contenders not just for the playoffs, but for a Super Bowl run. Brady’s warning reinforces the idea that Buffalo is far from satisfied—and that could spell trouble for every opponent still left on their schedule.
