In a recent game against the Miami Dolphins, former Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy expressed his frustration regarding the team”s lack of support for quarterback Josh Allen. As the Bills fell behind by multiple possessions, McCoy took to social media to voice his concerns about the offensive line and wide receiver corps.
McCoy”s posts appeared to target Bills general manager Brandon Beane, questioning why Allen is expected to carry the offense without sufficient help. With the NFL trade deadline now passed, the Bills are unlikely to make any significant changes to their roster for the remainder of the season.
The current offensive structure centers around Allen, James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, and Dawson Knox. Some observers, including McCoy, have come to believe that moving on from star receiver Stefon Diggs without a suitable replacement was a mistake. This assessment arises as the Bills struggle to find offensive rhythm in critical moments.
Financially, the Bills find themselves in a challenging situation, with less than $8 million in salary cap space available for the next two seasons, according to Spotrac. This limitation restricts their options for acquiring new talent and may have implications for their competitiveness moving forward.
Despite the perception that the Bills won the breakup with Diggs, who suffered a season-ending injury in his first year with the Houston Texans, the current statistics tell a different story. Heading into Week 10, the Bills” leading receiver was tight end Kincaid with 411 yards, while Diggs had recorded 508 yards with the New England Patriots.
In addition, the Patriots secured a notable victory against the Bills in a recent Sunday Night Football matchup, adding another layer to the ongoing rivalry. The Bills are set to face Diggs and the Patriots again on December 14, a game that could have significant playoff implications for both teams. As the season progresses, the question remains: will Allen or Diggs end the year feeling unfulfilled?
