Stock down
TE Dawson Knox
Unfortunately some drop issues continue to plague the rookie and he’s really got to work on his hands in the offseason. Sure, tight end Dawson Knox did lead the Bills in receiving on the day, but the passing offense was terrible, overall. His lone catch for 37 yards helped him top the catching charts, but… he had four total targets. In addition, he was brutal as a blocker as the Ravens saw a strip-sack from linebacker Matt Judon where he just blew by Knox.
QB Josh Allen
It wasn’t all on Josh Allen, but he wasn’t good, either. Early, Allen undoubtedly missed open targets which was tough to see after he had recently found at least one deep ball score to John Brown. But he was 1-for-7 to start the game passing and struggled to get rid of the ball and took some sacks. Again, not all on him, but Allen and the Bills offense crumbled early and often. The only thing salvaging things for the Bills was his late connection on a score and two-point conversion to Cole Beasley. Allen completed 43.5 percent of his passes (17-for-39), had only 146 passing yards and his long score. Plus, he did lose a fumble. The interception problem might be gone but the fumble issue is far from it.
RB Frank Gore
The feel good story of Frank Gore is certainly over for the Bills. Every time he’s on the field, opponents just know any running play is going up the middle and they sniff it right out. The Bills need to scheme different plays for Gore to get him more successfully involved in the offense. His leadership is undoubtedly still there off the field, but he had four carries for six yards, which included a long carry of six yards. Yikes.
