The Bills fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Tuesday following their loss against the Broncos on Monday night. Dorsey had been Buffalo’s offensive coordinator since 2022, having previously served as the quarterbacks coach. He and Josh Allen have worked together since 2019, Allen’s second season in the league.
In that Monday Night game, Allen threw two interceptions and lost a fumble during the Bills’ defeat against Denver.
However, the criticism toward him seemed to be almost nonexistent as compared to other quarterbacks in the league.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith seems to know why that is. He explained so on First Take.
“Who says that Josh Allen isn’t being criticized as much as Dak Prescott? You want to know what the difference is?
“Here’s the difference. No one cares. That’s the point that I’m making. If you talk about Dak, it provokes dialogue. If you talk about Josh Allen, okay. It’s Bills Mafia. Outside of that, that’s it. Even the Cowboys get lost in all this. Micah Parsons, ‘Give him the same energy.’ Stop! We have given him the same energy. No one cared! So, we move on!
“That’s what the Dallas Cowboys have got to accept. “Stop whining and moaning all the damn time! They’re talking about you because you’re popular.”
Buffalo’s offense got off to a strong start to the year, averaging almost 35 points per game through its first four games of the season.

However, the last six games have shown the Bills fail to score more than 25 points in a single game, going 2-4 in that span.
The loss on Monday dropped Buffalo to 5-5 and put its postseason hopes in further peril. Their issues are turnovers as the team has given the ball away 18 times this season, tied for the second most turnovers in the NFL. Allen’s responsible for the majority of them through the air with a league-worst 11 interceptions.
On another more popular team, he would be getting killed in the media, and that is why Stephen A. Smith’s point makes sense.
