The Buffalo Bills entered the 2023 NFL Season with high hopes.
They have been one of the AFC’s best teams during the Josh Allen era and appeared poised to continue that this year.
However, with a 6-6 record, the Bills have lost a lot of surprising games, including their latest late-game collapse against the Philadelphia Eagles.
This loss has caused significant outcry about Josh Allen’s ability to lead the team, something Dan Orlovsky recently called “absolutely out of control.”
The stuff being said about Josh Allen is absolutely out of control

Despite the Bills’ record, Allen has thrown for the third-most yards of any quarterback this season.
He has also thrown the most touchdowns and continues to show elite rushing ability every week.
Despite all of these positives, many fans and analysts tend to focus on Allen’s negatives.
Allen is tied for the league lead in interceptions, a major reason for his doubters to speak poorly of his performances.
Orlovsky sees this as an egregious misrepresentation of Allen’s abilities, and what he has done for the Bills’ organization.
They have made the playoffs in four straight seasons, a direct correlation to what Allen has done to this point.
He and the Bills might be having a down year, especially when looking at what was expected of them, but Orlovsky still views this as unfair.
If the Bills do continue their slide, the conversations around Allen might continue, despite Orlovsky’s best efforts to curb them.
With upcoming games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, and Los Angeles Chargers, Allen’s road to redemption looks difficult.
Can he and the team overcome their latest struggles?
