Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has a tough task trying to fix problems
‘“We didn’t do well enough in any area, that’s my responsibility,” he offered after watching the film of the dispiriting 22-0 loss to the Packers, the Bills first shutout loss in 10 years. “We’ll work hard to get it fixed, but at the end of the day, just not good enough.”’
Pollock: ‘Absence’ of both McCoy, Benjamin stalls Bills’ offense
‘Benjamin, last season’s trade acquisition from Carolina, has been just as bad. In four games he’s been targeted 21 times with a mere seven catches for 92 yards.

Bills, McCoy look to boost stagnant run game
