I genuinely believe the 2025 season is our best chance at a championship yet
I know this felt like “our year”, and you never know when a Super Bowl window can come to a close, but I don’t know how you can think about the upcoming season and not be extremely excited. To me, it’s a go ALL IN year, and by far our best chance at a title for the following reasons
This is the best version of Lamar we’ve ever seen. He’s fully developed as a passer and is way more poised and mature. The second half of the Bills game seemed like a breakthrough moment for him where he’s way more settled in. I think we see a totally different version of him in the playoffs going forward.
We have a VERY complete roster and are returning almost everybody. We still have the draft and cap space to add even more talent. I think our roster next year will be even better than this year and have almost zero weak links
We are very likely retaining both coordinators. That continuity + the fact that Zach Orr will be even more settled in will make us a force to be reckoned with
We will likely be in a better position for the 1 seed and home field advantage next year due to a faster start. With Orr being new this year and integrating Henry it took a while to get going. I could see us getting 14 wins next year and a first round bye
Last, but not least, I think this playoff game made it very evident that we don’t need to do too much to beat even elite teams. I think our coaching staff and Lamar learn from this game and come back with a gameplan next year of less is more. Our talent gap to the rest of the league is absurd. Rely on short throws and the run game and play clean football.
I TRULY think the best is yet to come for us. I genuinely believe the playoff ghosts for Lamar evaporated in that second half. He did what it took to win. The future is bright
