The Buffalo Bills picked up another loss after they faced the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Despite being at the bottom of the AFC North, the Bengals showed their prowess on the gridiron by maintaining the lead right from the first quarter. The game concluded with a heartbreaking 18-24 loss for the Bills, bringing their current record to 5-4. It is the second straight loss for Josh Allen and co., leaving them out of the playoff picture as of now. Judging by their mediocre performance, former WR Dez Bryant smelled something fishy between the star QB and his trustee target, Stefon Diggs.

Josh Allen is getting flamed by football fans for throwing interceptions in five consecutive games. Even in the matchup against the Bengals, Allen’s pass was picked off, after which his number of interceptions equaled his number of games played this season. In response to this interception, the former Cowboys receiver hinted a friction inside the locker room between the QB and his best route runner.
It might be time to start a Josh Allen dialogue
– Has thrown an interception in five straight games
– Bills are now 5-4 with the third hardest remaining schedule in the NFL 😅
Are the Bills missing the playoffs??

Right after the Bengals scored the touchdown to take the 14-7 lead in the first quarter, Josh Allen aimed for Gabe Davis on the left sideline. However, Bengals CB Taylor-Britt intercepted the ball. This move raised questions, as Stefon Diggs was wide open and could have easily made the play if the ball had gone his way.
Dez Bryant Thinks Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs Are Fighting
The ex-Cowboys WR took to X (formerly Twitter) and pointed out the whole scenario to his fans. He believes Allen deliberately avoided Stefon Diggs in the game, as there might be an ongoing scuffle between the two. Later in his post, he praised Diggs as the top wide receiver and one of the best at making plays after catching the ball. He advised that if the Buffaloes want to secure wins, they should look for Diggs more frequently.
I’m making a hard assumption right now but I think Allen got a problem with Diggs
Because it ain’t no way he didn’t hit diggs open in the zone
Diggs one of the best Wideouts in the game & one of the best run after catch receivers in the NFL
Real playmaker
I love the… https://t.co/ZfW17KDYVL

NFL fans rallied behind Dez Bryant during his observation of the Bills game. One fan expressed concerns about the teammates not being on the same page.
Facts 💯 ever since this summer Diggs and Allen haven’t been on the same page

A user attributed the Bills’ sudden fall to a shortage of a talented offensive coordinator.
Buffalo has a coaching problem! They need to get an offensive minded-coach, the game is changing and they just aren’t keeping up with KC, Jax, Cinci or even Baltimore who brought in a great OC

Another critiqued Josh Allen for lacking vision.
I think Josh just doesn’t have the best vision sometimes. Diggs has a ton of targets.

Dez Bryant also brought up the Bills’ rookie WR, Dalton Kincaid, in his post. While he believes Kincaid is a brilliant addition to the Bills roster, he emphasized that Stefon Diggs deserves to get more passes.
In the last game, Dalton Kincaid had more receptions than Stefon Diggs, but fewer rushing yards. Diggs made 6 catches for 86 yards, while Kincaid secured 10 catches for 81 yards. In the game, Josh Allen threw for 258 yards, completing 26 out of 38 passing attempts. He was able to add only one TD pass to his tally for the entire game.
