‘Josh Allen turned the ball over and did not make ordinary plays consistently. To make matters worse, James Cook did not establish his dominance early, and Joe Brady did not have Cook in the game during critical moments. This was a strange deviation, as the Bills came into the game ranked first in the NFL in rushing attempts and second in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. This visibly hindered the Bills’ offense at times and put Allen in difficult situations, which may have been a factor in his worsening execution.’

This Bills 1977 win is one of the ugliest games ever played in Buffalo's stadium history
‘But in 1976 when they went 2-12, and then in 1977 when they went 3-11 the Bills were the dregs of the NFL. Even their wins were ugly, such as this one which ranks as one of the ugliest of them all.’
Bills coach McDermott shows resolve and leans on past success as Buffalo enters bye on 2-game skid
‘This is hardly the first time McDermott has been in this position over nine seasons in Buffalo. And it’s certainly not the first time he enters a bye week facing what resembles a crisis for the five-time defending AFC East champion Bills (4-2) and their Super Bowl aspirations.’
Bills detail how to help Keon Coleman amid poor Falcons performance
‘“I got to spend this time this week, making sure that we’re doing that and we’re getting the matchups that we want, the people where we want them, and we’re taking advantage of that, whether it’s Keon, whether it’s anybody on our football team, it’s no different.”’
Bills still confident in offense despite poor performances
‘With the offense scoring 30+ points and not having a single turnover in the first four games, they were riding high, but in the past two weeks? Yeah, standards have slipped.’
Do the Buffalo Bills need to make a trade? Here's who they could target
‘I know I’m not the first to throw this name out here, but Olave makes so much sense for the Bills. If you look at the last two games, they lost to both the Patriots and Falcons, a true number one wide receiver with big playmaking ability made a big difference and gave Buffalo’s defense matchup problems all night long.’

Why aren't the Bills using James Cook more? Examining the problem and possible solutions
‘Cook has touched the ball just 32 times over the past two games. He hasn’t played more than one third-down snap in a game since Week 1. In the first quarter of their two losses, the Bills handed the ball to Cook just six times. He had six first-quarter runs in their blowout win over the Jets in Week 2. Allen has thrown the ball to Cook just once in the last two weeks. His lack of involvement was a topic McDermott broached with Brady during their weekly study of their previous game, but will the Bills use Cook more when they play again in Carolina on Oct. 26?’
Bills notebook: Brady again pushes back on 'too cute'; Babich on halftime adjustments
‘“Like we said earlier in the season, we needed to have those elements to our offense to be able to get the ball in the perimeter, as opposed to just packing everything in at all times. But we’ve gone two straight weeks where we put the ball on the ground. That can’t happen.”‘
Buffalo Bills host public forum on transportation hub on Oct. 27

Bills expect to achieve workforce goals with stadium demo
‘They are 0.1% away from the goal for military veteran service-disabled businesses, and expect to meet that criteria when bids are awarded for the demolition, slated for the spring of 2027.’
Should the Bills trade to bolster their roster? Here are options
‘It’s difficult for salary cap-strained teams to make game-changing additions at the deadline because the caliber of player needed is going to be costly. The Bills have only around $2.5 million available, second-fewest ahead of only the Giants, so general manager Brandon Beane – whose roster construction of the 2025 team is coming under big-time fire – will have to be willing to move a very good player from his roster to acquire another very good player.’
Bills release longshot who became a fan favorite on 'Hard Knocks'
‘Ciarlo is a 24-year-old West Point graduate who put his military service on hold while he pursued his football dreams. He was cut near the end of the preseason and later signed to the Bills practice squad. Ciarlo was signed from the practice squad to the active roster on Oct. 4. He was inactive for the team’s Week 6 matchup at Atlanta.’
Bills coach who is catching heat from fans is a favorite to fill 2 coaching vacancies
‘Offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s name has been mentioned in head coach vacancies at the Tennessee Titans and Penn State.’
Buffalo’s bye week Comes with a reality check
‘And that’s led to fair questions: Have they hit their peak? Will they ever give their MVP-caliber quarterback the help he needs to win a Super Bowl? Did the front office surround Josh Allen with enough weapons, or whiff on key defensive additions? Is a coaching change necessary, or even imminent?’
BiIls positions with the highest priority to upgrade to avoid continued skid before trade deadline
‘Two losses shouldn’t change what the expectations were for the team prior to the season nor after their 4-0 start. But the Bills have significant holes to fill, ones that were obvious before losing to the Patriots and Falcons.’
