‘The game shone a light on the Bills’ lack of star power at receiver, but we can look back to last week and see how the offense operated, which makes the Dolphins’ performance even more baffling.’

Could the Buffalo Bills bring back Brian Daboll to help fix offense?
‘These offensive issues have brought Bills Mafia to be heavily critical of offensive coordinator Joe Brady, as well as head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane for the lackluster roster that has been built. However, the Bills could bring in another voice in the room to help the offense get back on track.’
Dalton Kincaid week-to-week with a hamstring
‘Kincaid left the Bills 30-13 loss to Miami early with the injury and did not return. Last season saw Kincaid miss three games due to injury, he dealt with a PCL sprain in his knee.’
Bills injuries: TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) week to week, DE Landon Jackson (knee) out

Today in Bills stadium history: Nov. 11
‘1990 — Bills 45, Cardinals 14 — Thurman Thomas had 112 of Buffalo’s 206 yards rushing, Jim Kelly passed for 165 yards with touchdowns to Keith McKeller, Butch Rolle, Don Beebe and Steve Tasker, who got his first career touchdown reception filling in for an injured Andre Reed. Kenneth Davis and fullback Jamie Mueller also had scoring runs. Rain and sleet mixed with winds gusting up to 30 mph, which caused Phoenix punter Rich Camarillo to botch a punt snap deep in his own territory. Tasker pressured Camarillo on the play, and the special teams ace came up with two fumbles in kick coverage. Leonard Smith and Leon Seals teamed up on a turnover, John Hagy made an interception, and Bruce Smith had two of four sacks for a Buffalo defense that allowed only 127 yards and 11 first downs. Attendance at Rich Stadium was 74,729 as the Bills improved to 8-1 for the second time in three years.’
A look at the Bills’ playoff picture after a 30-13 loss against the Dolphins
‘With the loss, the Bills fall to 6-3 on the season and remain second place in their division, behind the 8-2 New England Patriots. So what does the playoff picture look like right now? Despite the loss, the Bills are in sixth place in the AFC conference. Meanwhile, the Patriots would take the division title if the season ended today and are in third place in the AFC. In total, seven teams from each conference make the playoffs, the division winners and three wild card teams.’

Observations: It's hard to take the Bills seriously as contenders after Miami meltdown
‘The Bills’ loss to the Dolphins on Sunday was so ugly, it should make owner Terry Pegula re-evaluate everything about the organization – starting with the decisions of his general manager.’
Lance Lysowski: The Bills' passing game looked broken in Miami. What went wrong?
‘There was no excuse for an offense led by the NFL’s reigning MVP to look as unprepared and uninspired as it did throughout their defeat.’
The Bills defense was already banged up. Now it's navigating new injuries after Miami loss
‘Jackson’s right knee injury left the Bills with just Solomon, Greg Rousseau and Joey Bosa active at the edge. Defensive end A.J. Epenesa, dealing with a concussion, was inactive for the Dolphins game. The Bills are also just one week removed from having lost defensive end Michael Hoecht for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.’
3 questions after the Miami Dolphins steamroll the Buffalo Bills
‘The Buffalo Bills were exposed on Sunday in Miami Gardens. The 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins was putrid for a number of reasons. A week after toppling the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bills looked like a different team. Injuries contributed, but the Bills also turned the ball over three times. When they did hold on to the ball, they couldn’t move downfield. The defense came into the game down multiple starters, and depth on both sides of the ball was questioned, once again. The Bills did not look like Super Bowl contenders in this outing; They looked unprepared.’
Bills might lean on rookie TE Jackson Hawes more after Dalton Kincaid injury
‘Each game and practice presents rookies such as Hawes with an opportunity to learn. Though the fifth-round pick wants to keep improving, he showed in the fourth quarter that Allen can turn to him when the Bills need someone to get open in a key moment of the game.’
Bills plays that shaped the game: De'Von Achane feasts on missed tackles in Miami's win
‘Cam Lewis read the play perfectly. He shuffled quickly to his left, then sprinted to the A gap to meet Achane head on. Lewis, starting at nickel cornerback in place of Taron Johnson, missed the tackle. Bills linebacker Matt Milano also missed Achane. Safety Jordan Poyer dove at his legs, but couldn’t bring him down.’
Bills Report Card: Failing grades aplenty after discouraging loss to Miami Dolphins
‘Run defense: F: This absolutely cratered late, allowing touchdown runs of 59 and 35 yards to De’Von Achane in the final 6:31. “I think some missed tackles,” defensive tackle DaQuan Jones said of the run-defense issues. “Not the last one, but the one before that, there was a missed tackle. Just from seeing on the sideline, I think, from inside the box. Just really making those plays. It’s not just one guy, either. A good defense, you’re going to have at least two guys hitting a guy at the same time and just making sure that we’re doing that and kind of covering each other’s backs.”’
My View: Highmark Stadium will always be Rich Stadium in the minds of many
It was 50 years ago this fall when, for the very first time, I passed through the hallowed gates of Highmark Stadium, formerly and fondly known as Rich. On a crisp autumnal afternoon under cerulean skies, I attended my first professional sporting event as the Buffalo Bills hosted the Denver Broncos.’
