Specific criticisms include concerns about turnovers, penalties, and a stagnant run game, as well as coaching decisions, such as sidelining running back James Cook at key times and making stubborn offensive plays. Some have also pointed to a missed opportunity to secure the top seed in the AFC. Play-calling and execution Stubborn play-calling: Some analysts have criticized the offensive play-calling, citing specific examples like not giving the ball to James Cook on a crucial third-and-short, which was labeled "stubborn" and potentially costly, Sports Illustrated notes. Turnovers and penalties: The team's struggles with turnovers, penalties, and missed tackles have been highlighted as issues that have become more apparent after a recent loss. Run game struggles: The inability to effectively run the ball has been noted as a significant problem for the Bills.
