The Buffalo Bills are crashing and the blame shouldn’t be on Josh Allen

After an embarrassing loss in Monday Night Football, the Buffalo Bills decided to let go of offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. But the decision comes amidst a web of complications. Despite Dorsey coaching a top-performing offense and not being involved with the defensive penalty that led to the Denver Broncos’ winning field goal, the Bills chose to make a change. The team has been under immense pressure since their 13-second loss in the playoffs to Kansas City last year. The loss has driven ownership to make desperate decisions, including parting ways with key figures such as defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.

While the offense under Dorsey had been performing well, the Bills’ five losses this season have all come in one-possession games. Now, amid this tumultuous season, questions are being raised about star quarterback Josh Allen and his turnovers. Allen holds a high league-leading rate in turnovers but also ranks significantly higher in various metrics, prompting debates over his true impact on the team.

The Bills’ attempt to revitalize their offense with two tight ends hasn’t yielded the expected results due to the subpar performance of the tight end duo. This flaw has led to heavy reliance on their primary receiver, Stefon Diggs, and resulted in strategic challenges on the field. As the Bills strive to make meaningful changes, they face an uphill battle, with their upcoming tough games threatening to further jeopardize their playoff chances.

In the increasingly competitive and nuanced landscape of the NFL, the Buffalo Bills must navigate a complex situation that runs deeper than individual errors and coaching changes. Their Super Bowl window is rapidly diminishing, and the clock is ticking for the entire organization.
