‘As if it hasn’t already been difficult enough for the Bills to pass, now they’re facing a Jets defense that ranks second in the NFL in passing yards allowed at 143 per game. If the Bills can’t get a rushing attack working in this game, the offense is going to be in for a long night against an opponent that typically gives Josh Allen and company fits.’

Bills’ glaring WR issues on display in loss to Texans
‘The “everybody eats” offense that led to some fun numbers for three weeks — remember 10 different receivers making a catch against Jacksonville, or nine against Arizona — has been picking at an awfully barren dinner table lately.’
PFF grades: How Josh Allen and his weapons graded out in Buffalo Bills’ loss to Houston Texans

Upon Further Review: Everyone shares the blame in Bills offensive calamity

Bills’ ‘everybody eats’ motto on offense goes from feast to famine after 2 straight losses
‘More worrisome — and not entirely surprising — is how ineffective Allen’s arm was in a game he finished 9 of 30 for 131 yards and a touchdown. His 30% completion rate was the lowest of his career, and his yardage total was the fifth lowest in a game the seventh-year player started and finished. And this wasn’t simply a one-off for Allen. In finishing with 180 yards passing in a 35-10 loss at Baltimore a week earlier, his 42 yards passing in the first half matched the second-lowest total in the opening 30 minutes of his career.’

The Buffalo Bills have a Sean McDermott problem
‘The last two weeks have been a McDermott masterclass in lack of preparation and in-game screw ups. While Buffalo was missing Matt Milano, Terrel Bernard, and Taron Johnson against the Baltimore Ravens, that doesn’t make up for the lack of preparation to be better suited to go up against the physical run game of the Ravens. Against a light Bills’ defense, Derrick Henry ran for 199 yards and two scores, and the Bills’ offense couldn’t keep pace in a 35-10 blowout loss.’

We’ll talk more today about our process and the communication that leads us to that, moving forward. I’m confident in myself. I’m confident in Joe. And that’s a situation that we’ll learn from.”‘
