How fast things can change in the National Football League. Since an emphatic win over the Dolphins on Oct. 1, the Bills have gone 2-3, the latest of those losses a 24-18 defeat to the Bengals on Sunday Night Football. TSN's Dave Naylor has more from Cincinnati.
It was Buffalo’s third consecutive win and at that point in time, their opening-game loss to the Jets looked more like a blip or a lesson-learned than any reason to be concerned.ContentId: Naylor: 'Bills weren't able to get the ball to their top two targets'
The second half was better, a field goal, a touchdown and another possession that appeared headed for pay dirt until rookie tight endAllen supplemented the offence after halftime with his legs but the days of him scampering on 40-yard runs appear to be over. And with the deep ball not their either, the Bills offence is missing the explosive elements for which it was so well known.
When Miller was signed fresh off winning the Super Bowl with the Rams two off-seasons ago, he was seen as the finishing piece to a team with Super Bowl aspirations. But it appears assuming a 34-year-old coming off his second ACL tear would return as an impact player this season may have been wishful thinking.
Game changing plays have been as absent on defence as they’ve been on offence, with the Bills last interception coming in that win against the Dolphins that feels like years ago right now.well into his prime at age 27, the attention is starting to turn to the coaching staff, both offensive co-ordinator Ken Dorsey and now head coach Sean McDermott, who as the defensive play caller this season didn’t appear prepared for a wrinkle the Bengals threw-in Sunday night.
