Dan Patrick reminds us that the window of opportunity for NFL franchises is often pretty short and it looks like the Detroit Lions are entering theirs right now. Plus, the Buffalo Bills window appeared to be closed but they’ve proven to be resilient and surprisingly competitive this season. This could be the year one of these two franchises finally gets their elusive first Super Bowl win.
Dan Patrick: “You got (Aidan) Hutchinson coming back, Jahmyr Gibbs is wonderful on a rookie contract, you got (David) Montgomery coming back, (Jared) Goff is signed, Amon-Ra St. Brown is signed, you got a good tight end, you got a culture there with Dan Campbell, so this should extend for a couple of seasons...should. And then you got Buffalo that I thought their window of opportunity closed, and now it just feels like this is a true, solid, starless team...”
