After Lukas Van Ness' Season-Ending Injury, Cardinals' Veteran Star Pro Bowler with 94.5 career sacks Eyes Packers Reunion for Super Bowl Glory

Posted November 23, 2025 Buffalo, New York. The frustration around the Buffalo Bills reached a new boiling point after a 23–19 loss to the Houston Texans, and one familiar voice has stepped in with a blunt, unfiltered assessment. Brian Daboll — the former offensive coordinator who helped sculpt Josh Allen’s MVP-level rise and engineered the record-setting 2024 offense — has offered his clearest critique yet of why Buffalo’s attack has unraveled in 2025. Daboll didn’t point fingers at Josh Allen. He didn’t blame the running backs. And he didn’t question the effort from the wideouts. Instead, he centered the conversation on what he believes is the real issue: a broken offensive structure under coordinator Joe Brady, a stark departure from the system Daboll once commanded at an elite level. Three areas, Daboll said, have pushed Buffalo into offensive chaos. First, the offensive line has taken a sharp step backward, leaving Allen exposed.Allen has been sacked 28 times, double the total he took during the entire 2024 campaign. The pressure has forced him into off-script, survival-mode football far too often.“When your offensive line loses structure, even the best quarterbacks in the world become chaotic,” Daboll said. His point was unmistakable: Allen isn’t regressing, he’s reacting. Second, turnovers have surged because the offense isn’t adapting to its personnel.Buffalo posted a staggering +24 turnover margin last season. This year, they sit at -2. Daboll called the reversal “the full story,” pointing to a system that puts too much weight on Allen to salvage every possession instead of guiding him into rhythm-based execution. Third, the wide receiver room was built without a true top option.In a rare public critique of the front office, Daboll implied that GM Brandon Beane didn’t give Allen the firepower he needs. A “bargain-bin receiver group,” as Daboll described, has stripped the offense of its explosiveness and identity. Then came the line that sent shockwaves through Bills Mafia — and lit up every sports radio show in Western New York. “Buffalo is where I built the best years of my coaching career. I know the system that fits Josh Allen, and I know how to get this offense back to where it was. If the opportunity ever came… we could do it again.” League sources have echoed the sentiment, saying Daboll is “absolutely open” to returning in a redesigned offensive role if the Bills decide to move on from Joe Brady. For a Bills team that has watched its offense collapse, seen frustration grow inside the locker room and heard the fan base turning restless, Daboll’s comments introduce a new layer of intrigue as the season enters its stretch run. Now the question hanging over Orchard Park is as dramatic as it is unavoidable.
