The Buffalo Bills were flying high in September with a 4-0 record. But the very next month, the tone shifted. Two straight losses later, they sit at 4-2. So now the Bills are looking for a comeback against the Carolina Panthers. And in the middle of it all, Josh Allen had an admission to make.

Recently, Allen spoke to the media and said the offense hasn’t looked the same. But he also made it clear who has to fix it. “I think we can be better at that, for sure. We can be better at getting a lot of other people involved in our pass game and, again, that starts with me.”

Of course, the numbers tells story. The offense has lost its spark over the last two weeks. Allen’s completion rate dipped by more than 7 points, and his passer rating dropped below 87. Through 6 games, he’s thrown 11 touchdowns but also four interceptions. His QBR has slipped to 62.6, and over the last two contests, his rating has catered to 68.5.

Still, he isn’t panicking. Instead, he issued a five-word message to his locker room: “Execute and do our jobs.” And wants his team not to back down from the pressure.

“We’re not going out there to not score, you know, and it takes everybody on the field to, like I said, execute their job and a big part of that is quarterback play and, again, we’ve turned the ball over the last couple games and it really hasn’t helped us within the game and the situations that were called for it. So, yeah, it starts with me, but, again, we’re looking forward to getting back on track,” he said.

However, to do that, they have to fix a lot of things.

Josh Allen and co. need to improve

At 28.84% through six games, the Bills have blitzed more than any other team since 2022. Yet the aggression hasn’t always paid off. The turnovers are piling up fast. After giving up just one in their first four outings, Buffalo has committed three against the New England Patriots alone. In total, six giveaways in the last three games have turned clean football into costly mistakes. Then came the timing issues.

Against the Atlanta Falcons, a misfired jet sweep ended with the ball on the ground. The offense never recovered it. Moments later, Keon Coleman coughed one up inside the 10, gifting the Patriots a short field and an easy score. And while Elijah Moore managed to fall on his own fumble during a third-and-1 attempt, it still turned a conversion chance into a negative play.

Yes, the last season was a different story. The Bills went on a stretch of 12 games with just a single turnover, something no team in league history had done before. That consistency made them one of the toughest offenses to stop. Clean passing, higher conversion rates, and better decision-making defined that version of Buffalo. Now, things look different.

Drops on third downs and red-zone stalls have crept back in. The Bills still average 27.8 points per game, but the late-game execution isn’t the same. So, can Josh Allen and the Bills fix these holes and bounce back next week? Share your thoughts.
