Crumbling contender? Bills make drastic move with Ken Dorsey, but issues may prove insurmountable

‘It should be no different in Western New York as it pertains to Allen, a two-time Pro Bowler and an upgraded version – at least in certain regards – of former league MVP Cam Newton. But Allen seems to need guidance, stability and help – and those aren’t insignificant issues for a player who appears to take on too much of the offensive load and/or is overly burdened with it.’

Bills’ Josh Allen ‘one of the most baffling people in football,’ Super Bowl champ says

‘”Josh, to me, is one of the most baffling people in football. You see his ability to throw, you see his ability to run, you see how physical he is. And then all of a sudden he does something, and you scratch your head and go why,” Theismann said. “And then he goes and sits on the sidelines, and he has this look on his face, and it looks like in his head he’s doing the same thing that I’m doing, saying, ‘Why did he do that? Why make that kind of a decision? Why make that kind of throw?’”‘

Bills fire OC Ken Dorsey, name Joe Brady interim replacement

‘”There’s been times when we have moved the ball and scored points, but those times, I believe, have become few and far between,” McDermott said Tuesday afternoon. “I can point to the Miami game [in Week 4], which I felt very good about, obviously, we scored on just about, if not every, drive there. But since that Miami game, and really, before that, there were some times when I didn’t feel like we were moving the ball well enough and scoring points. So, it’s just — it’s the whole thing, right? The whole body of work. It’s not just off of two games or four games. It’s the entire season at this point.”‘

Bills’ playoff visions dim after ‘inexcusable’ loss to Broncos

‘”I think the best teams — when the pressure is at its highest and when everything seems to be crumbling — you come together closer. It’s like breaking a bone. When you heal it, it becomes stronger. So that’s what we’ve got to do. And I’m very confident in this team to do that.”‘

Examining What’s Wrong With the Bills

‘“A number of different reasons for it,” a rival AFC exec told me. “Defensively, they’ve regressed. They are slower. Not having Milano and [Tre’Davious] White with the injuries, lost [Tremaine] Edmunds in free agency, missed on first-round corner—when they needed it—both safeties [Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde] are on the decline. Offensively, it’s the turnovers. The quarterback [Josh Allen] isn’t playing well—poor decisions and not having Daboll on his ass is probably affecting him.’

Bills Fire Offensive Coordinator Ken Dorsey

‘The Bills’ offense committed four turnovers in the contest, including one in the first play of the game on a fumble by running back James Cook. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen finished Monday’s loss with two interceptions, raising his season total to a league-leading 11.’

Sean McDermott Explains Bills’ Decision to Fire OC Ken Dorsey

‘The Bills have a top 10 scoring offense this year, and their 370.1 yards per game of total offense is the seventh best in the league. Despite that, they’ve lost three of their last four games and have been held to 25 or fewer points in each of their last six games.’

Josh Allen’s Turnover Issues Are Sinking the Bills

‘The Bills have particularly struggled in the first half of games this season. They scored eight points in the first half last night and seven points in the first half against the Bengals last week. They’ve scored 14 touchdowns in the first half of games this season (tied for eighth most in the NFL) but 17 in the second half (second most in the league). Allen has thrown seven first-half interceptions (the most in the league), compared to four in the second half.’
