Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady has been heavily criticized after the 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins, to the point where newly fired Brian Daboll has seen some fans wanting a reunion.
Granted, many were singing the praises of Joe and the offense after beating the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, so in a week, a lot of things can change.
But for Josh Allen, who, along with Brady, is tasked with bringing the offense to life, his confidence in his coordinator hasn't altered one bit amid a flurry of outside criticism.
“I'm extremely confident," Allen said. "Again, it comes down to the end of the day protecting the football and the 11 guys on the field executing. Extremely confident in Joe, love him like a brother. He's been awesome for my career."

Allen/ Brady tandem under pressure vs. Buccaneers
There's no sugar-coating it; the offense wasn't good against Miami, and we can go back to the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons games as well.
The win over the Chiefs appears to be the outlier in Buffalo's last month or so of football, which brings Tampa Bay into focus this week and the need for the offense to get its groove back.
That's the offensive line protecting Allen, receivers getting separation, and James Cook running the football. Granted, that seems easy enough, but the Buccaneers have a stout defensive front headlined by Vita Vea, and have a sticky secondary that makes life hard in the passing game.
So, there will be plenty on the line in Week 11, and if the offense stumbles again, and it looks bad, more criticism will come for Brady and the offense -- and those cries for Daboll, who is now available, will only grow louder.
