4 questions the Bills must answer during bye week after loss to Falcons
‘Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich is in his second season, and the defensive breakdowns have become a weekly problem. McDermott said the Bills did a good job adjusting in the second half, but pass rusher Joey Bosa didn’t think the success Buffalo had in the final 30 minutes was about adjustments.’

Falcons ride Robinson’s 170 rushing yards, including 81-yard TD, to 24-14 win over Allen and Bills
‘A lack of big offense and more miscues from Josh Allen provided more reason to question the Buffalo Bills.’
Falcons stun Bills behind brilliant offensive performances from Bijan Robinson and Drake London
‘While there were explosive offensive plays that contributed to this Falcons victory, their defense being able to handle Bills quarterback Josh Allen was just as important at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday night. Allen was sacked four times, the most by any team this season, as the Falcons didn’t just get pressure in the backfield, but made sure he couldn’t escape for big rushing yards.’

Bills’ Josh Allen, Sean McDermott sound off after brutal loss to Falcons: ‘Got to start from ground zero’
‘The mistakes and ineptitude offensively is correctable, but Allen and McDermott did not hold back after another disappointing outing resulted in a tie atop the AFC East with the Patriots. They’ll head into an open date before playing the streaking Panthers later this month.’
Falcons vs. Bills takeaways: Bijan Robinson runs wild as Atlanta swarms Josh Allen for ‘MNF’ upset
‘Looking to rebound from the Patriots defeat, Allen struggled mightily to get into a rhythm against Raheem Morris’ defense, which entered the Monday night matchup ranked among the NFL’s best in pass coverage. Missing top tight end Dalton Kincaid, Allen also lost speedy wide receiver Josh Palmer to an in-game injury. He struggled to evade Atlanta’s persistent rush, absorbing four sacks, throwing two interceptions and nearly losing a fumble as Buffalo tried to dig itself out of a 21-7 halftime deficit.’
Bills Showing Signs of Fatal Flaws With Second Straight Loss
‘And no one play typified its struggles more than Falcons running back Bijan Robinson taking a handoff, making a cut to the right sideline, and evading safety Cole Bishop for an 81-yard touchdown.’
Why Sean McDermott Thought Things Were ‘Too Hard’ for Josh Allen in Bills Loss
‘Allen has now turned in two consecutive performances below his usual standard of play. Part of that has to deal with his targets not finding open space on their routes. The sky isn’t falling for the Bills, who remain tied with the Patriots atop the AFC East. But it does have to be frustrating to see a pattern develop and, like McDermott observed, make things a lot harder than they seemingly need to be.’
Josh Allen Had Harsh Statement About His Performance in Loss to Falcons
‘”You can beat man-to-man with a perfectly thrown ball and a well-thrown ball and we have to take advantage of those opportunities,” said Allen, who was sacked four times in the loss. “I’ve got to be better. Protections, IDs, movement in the pocket. Just gotta be better.”‘
