All three of those teams are in win now mode. We're still trying to figure out how to win with guys like Josh Allen on the roster. What do those three teams have in common right now though that we clearly lack?

They all have an identity on offense. The Chiefs run through Mahomes and Kelce. The Jets are trying to become the run first team of the AFC East. Just like the tacks here in the South and Saleh's old team out West with the 49ERS. 

The Dolphins went out and made it clear that they were going to help their 3rd year investment at QB and they did that by trading for Hill and drafting Waddle.

Right now, whether we want to accept it or not. In the grand scheme of things? We need to get better offensively. We need to get better in the red zone. We need to get more accurate in the deep passing game. We need to get better at building around Lawrence. The QB is getting more opportunities than anybody else in this sport on the football field.

The more he has around him to succeed? The better. Start winning games with an explosive offense and Josh Allen becomes an afterthought. It's just the nature of doing business in the NFL. Baalke went full tilt on the defense during the off season and they thought they could get away with Pederson in year one with Lawrence and a bunch of 2nd to 3rd at best WR's in the starting line-up. 

Eight games in and they can't do it so far. They're going to have to retool their approach and way of thinking now in order to maximize any hope that we have left in Lawrence's development. And it's a fair route to take. As it's working around the NFL with similar situations.
