Buffalo Rumblings
Since eclipsing 30 points in every game during a 4-0 start to the 2025 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills’ offense has not resembled the high-flying juggernaut Bills fans have come to expect during the Josh Allen era in Buffalo.
Over the last five games, the Bills (6-3) have averaged 23 points per game while going 2-3 during that time to fall behind the New England Patriots (9-2) in the AFC East. Beyond the decline in scoring output, Joe Brady’s offense has looked dysfunctional, with Buffalo’s receivers failing to win their 1-on-1 matchups and create enough separation, despite the offensive line providing ample time in the pocket for Allen to find his targets downfield.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by exploring how the Bills can improve their offense by turning to a familiar face, while making better use of the wide receivers currently on the roster.
Buffalo’s inability to rely on Josh Allen’s arm during critical moments of the loss to the Miami Dolphins was one of the most unexpected developments from the Week 10 loss. So what can be done to resolve the issues with the passing game?
Well for starters, the Bills will hopefully welcome back Joshua Palmer for this weekend’s home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But while that will certainly help, it will take more than just Palmer serving as a downfield threat and someone who can create separation in intermediate routes.
Linked below: making the case that Elijah Moore — who has shown a knack for getting open utilizing his speed — needs to be more involved in the passing game and should take over the looks that Curtis Samuel has received of late. Plus, examining why veteran Gabe Davis would be a welcome addition to the receiving room — including hearing how veterans like Tre’Davious White and Cam Lewis think Davis is looking more and more like the explosive weapon he was during his first stint with the Bills — and what Mecole Hardman could do to improve Buffalo’s passing attack.
