Some help? They need to replace most of the offense from what I've seen. They have a couple of good RBs, and Josh is, well, Josh. But the o-line gets mugged on every down, the WRs can't get separation, and when they do have breathing room, they drop the ball. Even when it hits them on the numbers.
Are you describing the Bills or recapping his college career?

That is a good point! If anyone is prepared to lead a team like the Bills, at least they have the right guy with experience running for his life and making plays.

I actually disagree with the couple of good RBs. McCoy is not the same McCoy of 5 years ago. Allen had more rushing yards.

So, how many o-linemen and WRs are the Bills going to pick up in the off-season? And how many of them are coming via draft?

Buffalo needs to figure out their supporting cast. Its never a good thing, barring a triple option offense, to have your QB be the lead rusher.

Their receivers occasionally catching the ball would be nice, even though Josh still needs to learn to not throw missiles on the short ones.

I’d say his percentage of missiles when not needed has gone down a little. Yeah, he needs some wr help. Benjamin is worthless. His new guy zay Jones or something will be his go to.

When a pro-style team's best and top rusher is their 1st round QB, something needs to be changed.
