‘The offense will be fi ne. There’s too much talent and offensive coordinator Joe Brady will learn from the head-scratching calls in losses to the Patriots and Falcons. The defense, on the other hand, looks like the phase that could hold Buffalo back in 2025. But a look around the NFL is a reminder that no team has looked perfect through six games and that will remain the case until the Bills (4-2) play again on Oct. 26 in Carolina.’

Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen just had his most undisciplined performance in three years. Have a look
‘Josh Allen turned the ball over and did not make ordinary plays consistently. To make matters worse, James Cook did not establish his dominance early, and Joe Brady did not have Cook in the game during critical moments. This was a strange deviation, as the Bills came into the game ranked first in the NFL in rushing attempts and second in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. This visibly hindered the Bills’ offense at times and put Allen in difficult situations, which may have been a factor in his worsening execution.’
This Bills 1977 win is one of the ugliest games ever played in Buffalo’s stadium history
‘But in 1976 when they went 2-12, and then in 1977 when they went 3-11 the Bills were the dregs of the NFL. Even their wins were ugly, such as this one which ranks as one of the ugliest of them all.’
Bills coach McDermott shows resolve and leans on past success as Buffalo enters bye on 2-game skid
‘This is hardly the first time McDermott has been in this position over nine seasons in Buffalo. And it’s certainly not the first time he enters a bye week facing what resembles a crisis for the five-time defending AFC East champion Bills (4-2) and their Super Bowl aspirations.’
What’s cause for concern as unsatisfied Bills go into bye at 4-2
‘The trade deadline on Nov. 4 is looming. But what should the Bills do with it? There are legitimate concerns at multiple spots, but there could be a valid reason for the team to add at wide receiver midseason for a second straight year. While trading for Amari Cooper didn’t quite work out last season, it shows a willingness overall from the front office to add there.’
Bills detail how to help Keon Coleman amid poor Falcons performance
‘“I got to spend this time this week, making sure that we’re doing that and we’re getting the matchups that we want, the people where we want them, and we’re taking advantage of that, whether it’s Keon, whether it’s anybody on our football team, it’s no different.”’
Bills still confident in offense despite poor performances
‘With the offense scoring 30+ points and not having a single turnover in the first four games, they were riding high, but in the past two weeks? Yeah, standards have slipped.’
Do the Buffalo Bills need to make a trade? Here’s who they could target
‘I know I’m not the first to throw this name out here, but Olave makes so much sense for the Bills. If you look at the last two games, they lost to both the Patriots and Falcons, a true number one wide receiver with big playmaking ability made a big difference and gave Buffalo’s defense matchup problems all night long.’
Today in Bills stadium history: Oct. 17
‘2004 — Bills 20, Dolphins 13 — Buffalo’s first victory with Mike Mularkey as coach came after an 0-4 start against a Miami team that was also winless under coach Dave Wannstedt three weeks before he would get fired, and eight years before his terrible turn as Bills defensive coordinator. Takeo Spikes returned an interception for a touchdown early in this one, Drew Bledsoe passed for 212 yards with a go-ahead TD to tight end Mark Campell in the third quarter, and Willis McGahee rushed for 111 yards in his first NFL start, including a 31-yard run to close out the victory on the final drive. Attendance at Ralph Wilson Stadium was 72,714.’
