More questions than answers as the Bills prepare for Bucs w/ guest Jay Skurski
Coming off one of, if not the, worst loss of the Sean McDermott era last week in Miami, the Bills (6-3) are facing a critical matchup against Tampa Bay (6-3) at home this weekend.

Receiving End: Bills look for answers in the passing game with Bucs coming to town
The Bills are facing tremendous criticism after one of the worst losses on the Sean McDermott era - 30-13 to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday. Much of it is aimed at a struggling offense, and the limited array of weapons Josh Allen has in the passing game and the failure to address that issue at the trade deadline. To that end, the Bills have reportedly signed former Chiefs speedster Mecole Hardman to the practice squad ahead of another challenging game this Sunday at home against the 6-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Bills look to avoid three game losing streak as they head for Carolina
The Bills haven't lost coming out of a bye week under Sean McDermott. They also haven't gone into one with two straight losses.
