The Buffalo Bills are officially on a skid, dropping two straight and looking shaky on offense. With the trade deadline looming, fans are asking: Should Brandon Beane make a move for a wide receiver?

In this episode of The Wandering Buffalo Podcast, Justin breaks down the Week 8 matchup vs. the Panthers, a supposed “tune-up game” that now feels like a must-win. We dive into the offensive struggles, WR depth issues, and the potential return of Andy Dalton as a surprise QB twist. Plus, how Sean McDermott’s team culture is being tested, and which players might step up to shift the narrative.

This isn’t just another Bills preview; it’s a reality check.

We cover:

Josh Allen’s rhythm vs. pressure

Why the WR room is a major concern

Khalil Shakir’s opportunity window

Panthers QB dilemma: Dalton or Young

Should the Bills trade for a WR?

Offensive identity crisis

Trade deadline targets to watch

What a win should look like this Sunday

McDermott’s mindset during adversity

Defensive reinforcements incoming

If you’re looking for Buffalo Bills news, Bills trade rumors, or a full Bills vs Panthers preview, this is the one to watch.

Go Bills.
