    What do the Bills do to fix this offense?

    There is no doubt that, with the current injuries, the Bills probably have the worst receiving corps in the league, and one of the worst even with Clay and Matthews.

     

    However, I am not ready to give up on the running game yet, or even the offense as a whole. Look at the opponent yards per play rankings: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-yards-per-play?date=2017-10-09

     

    The Bills have played the #1, 2, 4, and 6 ranked defenses, and the offense looked pretty good against #18. We have games remaining on the schedule against #26, 27, 28, 30, 31, and 32 x 2.

    Chill the heck out...

    It's comical that people think QBs need to sit and wait nowadays.

     

    Winston, Carr, Mariota, Prescott, Watson, Wentz, Newton, Wilson and those are just the recent past group that came in and performed fine.

     

    IMO, Peterman can't do much worse, even if he does so what. % say he probably would do better than TT. Even to have this discussion about TT and NP shows how bad TT is.

     

    IMO if McD is interested in winning now he switches to Peterman if he's not interested in winning now he stays the course with TT.

    All of those QBs, with the exception of Dak, were drafted much higher than Peterman. QBs drafted around where Peterman was include: Mettenberger, Yates, Connor Cook, Bryce Petty, Landry Jones, I could go on and on. All of those guys started games fairly soon after being drafted, and none of them "performed fine". Tyrod is about as good as you can expect from a QB in the 4th-6th round range.

    Blame this loss on FO

    Its even worse than that I'm afraid. Not only are we 16th/17th in yards but we are second in attempts. If our attempts were average we would be around last in the league.

    You're right, it is worse. Last year, we were not only first in yards, but first in yards per rush with 5.3. This year we are 27th in the league with 3.4 yards per rush.

     

    I do think the Shotgun style of running we had with Lynn really maximized McCoy's and Tyrod's running abilities. Having Gilislee didn't hurt either. We have played some of the higher ranked rush defenses, but there is no doubt that this running game is a far cry from what the Bills had in 15 and 16.
