What's as troubling as the firing of Ken Dorsey and the organizational debacle of Monday night was Josh Allen's familiar refrain, a level of fire that seems to be dimming as the losses and mistakes pile up.
I think the hero ball is the issue regardless of the players. On Monday, the Bills went on 75 yard drive to take the lead w 2 minutes left in the game and Allen didn’t throw a single pass.
If Josh Allen can’t be successful without more great players, he should renegotiate his contract to take less money so the Bills can get better players.
The issue is the same as Mahomes is facing now, that outside of one great target and a promising rookie, Allen doesn’t have reliable targets to throw to. The most basic, stock-standard WR2 and 3s you could imagine would be an upgrade for him. Davis isn’t a good WR2 and Shakir doesn’t feature much.
Look at what Deshaun Watson did on the road vs a much better defense than the Broncos.
His weapons were Amari Cooper, David Njoku, Elijah Moore, and Jerome Ford (and they were down to their 4th and 5th string tackles). Allen’s group is as good or better than that, and he isn’t doing too well. Why? Bc he turns the ball over (leads the league). He’s had an interception in like 5 straight games. The pick he threw vs the Bengals had absolutely nothing to do with the quality of his wide receiver. Pass catchers have nothing to do with him fumbling the ball.
