Probably because Josh, Brady, and McD were stepping in on the decision-making of the offense when things started getting desperate. Leading up to Dorsey's firing, you know they didn't just leave him be until the week of...

Allen's stats going down isn't indicative of poor coordinating. The offense as a whole realized they shouldn't be relying so much on Allen's arm and force-feeding the ball to Diggs. They needed to play complimentary football in order to win games, which they were not doing under Dorsey. They needed to have an identity and a toughness. I'm hoping Allen will be more efficient and less turn-over prone, which I think he will be. They made big changes in the receiver room, adding guys who complement their new identity. We should see Allen hitting more short passes to reliable catchers and generally spreading the ball around more than usual. Regardless of Cook's personal average, the run game will be efficient and it will include Allen running because you know the offense is comfortable with that.

Can't argue with the results. The offense rebounded under Brady and was the biggest reason they successfully completed the playoffs push. Masterful coaching job by McD to turn the team around mid-season from 6-6 to a missed FG away from beating the SB champs. The players say they were "fragmented" during the week and that's also one of the best words to describe how they looked under Dorsey on Sundays. Just fragmented all the time. No cohesion and no real identity.
