We are 10 weeks into the NFL season, and at 6-3, the Buffalo Bills, on the surface, are in good order, but diving deeper, there is a lot wrong with the offense.
The passing game has struggled for consistency, and the 30-13 loss to the lowly Miami Dolphins perhaps could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
The Bills were considered Super Bowl contenders and expected to run away with the AFC East prior to the season starting. Well, right now, they are far from a contender, and the AFC East is the New England Patriots' to lose.
But what is even more concerning is when receiver Keon Coleman was asked why there have been such inconsistent performances in the passing game, he didn't know.
“If I knew the answer to that, we wouldn't be talking about it right now,” Coleman said. “So, I mean, we just go back to the drawing board.”
Granted, we aren't expecting Coleman to know the exact answer, but sometimes players have an idea of why things are going wrong, and we imagine Keon isn't alone in that thought.

Coleman fighting for consistency
Midway through Year 2, Coleman hasn't developed into the player Buffalo wanted him to be, and against Miami, just one catch for five yards in the first half isn't enough.
Granted, he did finish with three receptions for 46 yards and a touchdown, but more is expected of Keon as one of the top weapons at Josh Allen's disposal.
Even the defending MVP needs to be better, but he needs help from his receivers, and against the Dolphins, it was tough sledding.
The Bills have to figure out their passing game and how to get it back on track, because it feels like the team is on a slippery slope, and for a team with Super Bowl aspirations, that isn't ideal.
