The Buffalo Bills' 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins has exposed the team's struggling passing game, sparking questions about General Manager Brandon Beane's decision-making. With a 6-3 record, the Bills have slipped in their bid for a sixth consecutive AFC East title. The division-leading Patriots already have a win over Buffalo. Josh Allen's inability to push the ball deep and find open receivers has been a persistent issue, reemerging after the team's convincing wins over Carolina and Kansas City. When defenses focus on containing running back James Cook, the Bills' offense suffers, with a 1-3 record when Cook fails to top 100 yards. Beane's failure to address the team's receiver shortage during the offseason and trade deadline has been criticized. Despite his confidence in the current group, the team's inability to replicate last season's success without a legitimate deep threat has been a major concern. Injuries to Josh Palmer and Dalton Kincaid have further complicated matters. Coach Sean McDermott acknowledged the team's struggles, saying they need to move the football more effectively. The Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, with Josh Allen's career record (15-22) when committing a second-half turnover a significant concern. The team's passing game and roster moves will be under scrutiny as they look to bounce back from their loss.
