QB Josh Allen blames himself for Bills firing coordinator Dorsey and vows to be better

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — A subdued-looking Josh Allen blamed himself on Wednesday for overseeing a stagnating and turnover-prone offense that cost Buffalo Bills coordinator Ken Dorsey his job. It hurts a lot to see someone you care about go through a situation like that, and to know that if I could have done more, if this offense could have done more, we wouldn’t have to do something like that,” Allen said as Buffalo prepares to host the division rival New York Jets on Sunday. “I think it takes a lot to look at yourself in the mirror and say, ‘What can I do that’s been good and what can I do to fix what’s been bad?′ That’s what we’ve all got to do.” Reducing turnovers would be a start for Allen, who has thrown an NFL-leading 11 interceptions to go with losing three fumbles. The coordinator duties now fall to Joe Brady, who has spent the past two seasons as Buffalo’s quarterbacks coach, and spent the two previous seasons as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator. “He’s got a lot of juice to him,” Allen said of Brady, who is scheduled to address reporters on Thursday.
