Point is, the success is all on Allen and Diggs. Any success the rest have is due to defenses being focused on stopping Allen and Diggs.

There are two great players on offense: Allen and Diggs. Singletary is pretty good and beyond that, there is no other player that opponents need to worry about. Add in an average, at best, OL and I think the offense’s problems go beyond play calling.

Props to the Jets. Their D is really outstanding and Garrett Wilson is a stud. Disappointed in Bills’ offense today. Jets took Diggs away and no other receiver is any threat at all.

Agreed. Why throw it there?

Come on, he did well even to see the ball in the air after the ricochet.

Why can’t this team put anyone away?

Supe big play by Hamlin.

Are they going to choke this game away?

I saw the replay and, for what it’s worth, I didn’t see his knee twist or move in an unnatural way. Hope that is good news for him.

Allen has been bad for a month, OL is a shambles without Morse and Dawkins. There are a lot of reasons that this team is playing poorly.

I would not count those chickens yet

I just don’t see a very good team as the Bills are presently configured. So many players on D and O out. They are going to have to scramble to eek into playoffs.

Beasley is not even in the league this year. He was small and got older and injuries mounted. He WAS really good at his job, but I don’t think he is good anymore.

They miss Hyde and Poyer has been out and played, probably less than 100% yesterday. In addition, Tre White hasn't played and first round pick Kaiir Elam has been out with injury as well. Before that, Benford was out. Right there, that is enough to explain it, but as another poster said, Edmunds has been out and his length really disrupts passing games in middle of the field. Milano played yesterday, but has been out, too. Finally, don't underestimate the impact of Greg Rousseau being out injured. He isn't a dynamic pass rusher, but he is capable, his height disrupts passing attacks and he is a very good run defender. I will admit that Shaq Lawson has filled in well. From the list of injuries, it is surprising that the defense has held up at all.

This team has a lot of flaws that make me believe that they are a pretender, not a contender. First, I believe that the defense willing improve if the can get Elam and Tre White back. I think that Edmunds is missed more than some believe and Greg Rousseau is also an important piece to get back. The offense is my concern. Allen looks bad. Gabe Davis is not a starting-caliber WR, especially on a team with championship aspirations. If he can’t catch the ball, he needs to sit or go. His bad hands on ST almost cost the game. I have little good to say about Isaiah McKenzie. He is a fringe NFL receiver who can run an occasional gadget play and is a danger to both teams as a returner. While the defense may improve as they, hopefully get healthy, I think that the lack of receiver talent is going to cost this team a serious challenge for the SB.

Embarrassing defense. This is really not a team that is a threat to run through the playoffs.

With what cap room?

I agree that safety and OL are also areas of need as is ILB with Edmunds likely leaving as FA. Still, WR is so critical to this offense, I think it warrants a big investment.

McKenzie is a fringe role player, not a starting WR.

Davis has to get his foot in bounds there. I think WR in round 1 is likely this coming draft.

Come on, score a TD to put this away.

So many injuries there…

Defense is terrible

I just don’t see a Super Bowl contender when I look at this team. I’m not even sure that I see a playoff team.

Ugly start for a team in desperate need of a turnaround. This is certainly a game that they can lose. Cleveland is a much more physical team than the Bills.
