I don’t think that the Bill’s players have lost faith in the team. I think their former OC Ken Dorsey forced too many major changes into their scheme too quickly and that some of those changes were incompatible with their roster.
For instance not allowing Josh Allen to scramble and not giving him designed run plays. They replaced that with more passing and more run plays. That meant Defense’s no longer had to worry so much about designed QB runs which freed them up for more Pass and Run coverage. On top of that the O-Line suddenly REALLY needed to give Josh pocket time to throw. Since Josh was being heavily discouraged from scrambling that meant he had to go through his pass progressions which led to more plays that go nowhere and Josh being sacked more often.
IMO Dorsey’s overall scheme was probably fine but it was too much change done too quickly and with the wrong roster.
