Bills: 3 2023 roster holes that could cost Josh Allen a Super Bowl

No. 1 worrying Bills roster hole: Dependence on Stefon Diggs

Stefon DIggs’ potential level of commitment to the Bills was a major storyline during Buffalo’s preseason. Even if Diggs is happy and playing at a high level, it’s concerning just how dependent the offense is on his production from the wide receiver position.

Surrounding Diggs with Gabe Davis and Trent Sherfield in the starting lineup doesn’t scream Super Bowl contender. The Bills did upgrade their receiving options by adding talented tight end Dalton Kincaid, but that won’t loosen things up for Allen on the outside.

Diggs is a major threat for every opposing secondary because of his ability to torch opposing defensive backs on deep routes. That naturally attracts double coverage his way on a lot of snaps. The Bills could have taken advantage of that by adding another deep threat to balance their formation on the other side of the field.

Things get even more dire for the BIlls if Diggs’ effort level wanes due to issues with the team. The team cannot reach the promised land of a Super Bowl title without him playing at an All-Pro level. Betting so heavily on Diggs to perform at a high level is a necessary risk by the Bills but it could come back to haunt them.
