‘It was time for a change.’ Bills remove Ken Dorsey as offensive coordinator

‘“I just felt like it was time for a change,” McDermott said Tuesday afternoon during a Zoom call with reporters. “We need to be a confident offensive football team and find consistent production and that’s really what it came down to. More than anything is come out with an energy about our offense and what we’re doing and move the football and score points. I mean, that’s really the offense’s job at the end of the day.”’

Who is Joe Brady? What to know about new Bills offensive coordinator

‘Of course, it certainly helped Brady that he had Joe Burrow at quarterback throwing an FBS record 60 touchdown passes on his way to winning the Heisman Trophy. And Brady could scheme Burrow’s passes to future NFL star wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase, and he could call running plays for Clyde Edwards-Helaire who piled up 1,400 yards on the ground behind an offensive line that won the Joe Moore Award as the nation’s best offensive line unit.’

Dorsey a casualty of catastrophic MNF Bills loss

‘Dorsey didn’t put 12 men on the field to block a would-be go-ahead field goal in the game’s final seconds. He also didn’t call consecutive ‘Cover 0’ blitzes with the Broncos on the outskirts of field goal range, leaving Taron Johnson one-on-one for Jerry Jeudy to draw an obvious pass interference flag.’

Buffalo Bills fire offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, promote QB coach Joe Brady

‘The Bills’ execution issues remained against the Broncos when they fumbled on the very first offensive play of the game and then Allen threw an interception to end the second drive. Dorsey’s playcalling has been heavily criticized by the fan base and McDermott opted to go in another direction by handing the reins over to Brady.’

Is Ken Dorsey Bills’ scapegoat? Sean McDermott explains why he sacked OC

‘McDermott has set out to find consistency and instill confidence in an offense that seems to have lost its swagger. The advanced metrics are pretty, but the Bills offense hasn’t scored more than 25 points in a game since Oct. 1. Buffalo is averaging 20.5 points per game in their last six, which includes four of their five losses on the season.’

Who is new Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady? (6 things to know)

‘Joe Brady joined LSU in 2019 as their passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach. The move paid off immediately for the Tigers with Brady turning Joe Burrow into a superstar. In Burrow’s first season at LSU, he threw for 16 touchdowns. Under Brady, Burrow would throw for 60 touchdowns and 5,671 yards. In addition to the national championship, Burrow would win the Heisman Trophy thanks in large part to Brady’s tutelage.’

Bills fire offensive coordinator Dorsey after sloppy 5-5 start

‘After beginning the season averaging 34.75 points per game through their first four games, the Bills’ point production had taken a significant step back in recent weeks. Including its Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo has averaged 20.5 points over its past six contests, including a 22-point performance during a sluggish performance against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Buffalo has failed to eclipse 26 points in its past six games since a Week 4 win over the Miami Dolphins, the longest such span for the Bills’ offense since quarterback Josh Allen’s rookie season.’

The Bills are out of sorts, and their championship window may be closing

‘But the Bills are not bouncing back to reenter the Super Bowl-contending mix, at least not right now. They followed a puzzling season-opening loss to the New York Jets with three straight dominant wins, the last one over the Miami Dolphins. They seemed to be, again, the team to beat in the AFC East. But they have gone 2-4 since. Allen has dealt with shoulder issues and has mixed brilliant plays with mistakes. He has thrown at least one interception in six straight games.’
