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.

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.
