The Buffalo Bills are sitting pretty at 5-1, sharing the lead as the NFL’s top scoring offense through six weeks, averaging a crazy 32.8 points per game. That kind of firepower is unbelievable, especially with Joe Brady now at the helm as head coach, and it means the offense hasn’t missed a beat. They’re first in pass yards per play and second in overall yards per play, which is just absurd production.
Offensive Fireworks Keep The Bills Rolling
It’s an absolute offensive explosion out there, and you gotta wonder how much better it could be if DJ Moore was healthy and Dalton Kincaid could somehow avoid those injuries that pop up. Still, Keon Coleman has been stepping up huge, working as the team’s leading receiver in recent weeks, and he’s a perfect complement to Khalil Shakir. This offense is cooking, no doubt, and it’s carrying a heavy load right now.
Can The Defense Get It Together?
Here’s the rub: While the offense is setting the league on fire, the defense is, well, not. They’re ranked 28th in points given up per game. Ouch. Even worse, they’re 31st in both yards given up per game and pass yards given up per game. Think about that for a second. The Bills are giving up nearly 29 points a game! That means Josh Allen and the offense have to put up almost 33 points every single game just to get a win. That is not a winning formula, especially not for the postseason. They might have shown some improvements against the run and a better pass defense in Week 6, but there’s a ton of work to do.
This is exactly why the Bills made a move to bring back cornerback Tre’Davious White after their win in Las Vegas this past weekend. White, now 31, is bringing a ton of experience back to One Bills Drive. The catch, though, is that it’s a completely new system under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard. White will eventually get signed to the team’s 53-man active roster once he’s acclimated and up to game speed.
So, as the Bills head into their bye week, sitting at 5-1, the big question is whether White’s return will actually make a difference for that defensive backfield. Will his addition pay the dividends Buffalo needs to make this a truly sustainable team, or will the offense keep having to play superhero every Sunday? Fans are definitely going to be grading this signing closely and wondering what it means for the team’s direction moving forward.
