As we enter Week 18, this is not the time for the Buffalo Bills<\/a> to develop bad habits, but unfortunately for Sean McDermott’s team, they are.<\/p>\n

In three of their last four games, the Bills have found themselves down multiple scores (Bengals<\/a>, Patriots<\/a>, and Eagles<\/a>), forcing Josh Allen to put on the Superman cape.<\/p>\n

Yes, Buffalo completed the comebacks against the Bengals and Patriots, and was an accurate Josh Allen throw away from doing the same against the Eagles, but that isn’t a recipe the Bills want to use in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

And Khalil Shakir, who was the target on that inaccurate two-point conversion pass from Allen, knows the team can’t be starting the way they have been.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, it’s obvious that things need to get picked up a little bit faster than we have been,\u201d Shakir said<\/a>. \u201cJust need to be better, that’s all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bills playoff run won’t last long with nasty trait<\/p>\n

In a one-off game in the playoffs, the Bills can’t allow teams to get ahead by\u00a0multiple scores.<\/p>\n

And considering that, due to the loss to the Eagles, Buffalo will be on the road, getting down big is a recipe for being one-and-done.<\/p>\n

With Super Bowl hopes on the line, the Bills have to figure out a way to start better and not be so bland offensively.<\/p>\n

The Bengals, Patriots, and Eagles shut down the Bills’ offense for the majority of the game, but Allen managed to get something cooking late.<\/p>\n

As the playoffs near, how about this — Allen and the offense cooks from the opening series.<\/p>\n
