Mark Gaughan: Can Bills get more from complementary wide receiving weapons?
‘The injury to tight end Dalton Kincaid forced offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey to lean on the 11 personnel set – three wide receivers – vs. the Giants. It didn’t go well enough in the passing game.’
Bills Mailbag: What's got the offense in such a rut?
‘It’s fair to wonder if the Bills have over corrected slightly when it comes to Allen running the football. One of the advantages of sitting in the press box is it’s often high enough up to really see the play develop, and on at least a few occasions this season, it has appeared like running lanes have been available to Allen, but he’s failed to take them. Of course, that is very easy to say from the heated press box, where the coffee and peanut M&Ms are plentiful. We’re also only two games removed from Allen playing one of the absolute best games of his career in Week 4 against Miami. What that tells me is he can have success in this system, but I won’t try to sugarcoat the last two weeks – they’ve been ugly. Running Allen a bit more, or giving him the freedom to do so on scramble plays, just might be one way to jump-start the offense, so I’m with you in that regard, Bob.’

Are Bills getting closer to or further from their Super Bowl aspirations?
‘Now, credit to where credit is due, the defense has done a nice job dealing with the tremendous amount of injuries that unit has suffered. But the offense is relatively healthy. And still, the Bills are putting up bizarrely up-and-down performances in 2023.’
Opinion: Bills grades: Week 6 vs. Giants
