4) Lack Of Wide Receiver Involvement

Coming into the game the Bills were already without productive receiver Jordan Matthews, so someone had to step up, right? Wrong.

This problem seems to be occurring on a weekly basis since the Bills shipped off former star receiver Sammy Watkins in the offseason. Out of Tyrod Taylor’s twsenty completions, only three of them went to receivers. Yes, you heard that right, three. Brandon Tate had the lone tip toeing touchdown snag and managed to haul in another reception.

The other completion to a wide receiver was a nine yard catch by Zay Jones, and that was it. The Bills bye week couldn’t come at a better time for their receivers to rest up, if still not healthy for their game in two week’s time against the Buccaneers, General Manager Brandon Beane may have to make a move.
