The Offense's Struggles
The Bills' offense struggled in the last game, which is part of a recent trend of poor performances. It has become increasingly clear that, apart from Stefon Diggs, the team's secondary offensive players need to step up.
During the game, Gabe Davis was the second most-targeted receiver, but he only caught three passes for 21 yards, and he fumbled once, which proved costly. Dalton Kincaid, a rookie receiver who was expected to be a Cole Beasley-like presence in the offense, was sidelined due to a concussion, and his potential has yet to be realized.
Against tougher opponents, the Bills cannot rely solely on Diggs in crucial situations. They need more offensive weapons to step up and make plays.
Lack of Commitment to the Run Game
Another issue that stood out was the need for more commitment to the run game in the early stages of the matchup. With the passing game struggling to gain momentum, there were opportunities to lean on the ground game, especially when Latavius Murray and James Cook were averaging seven yards per attempt.
This imbalance in play-calling led to eighteen pass attempts compared to only six rushing attempts in the first half. Establishing the run earlier in the game could have provided stability to the offense.
