Kansas City Chiefs have been this teams biggest impediment to reach a SB. The Chiefs have an offensive genius for a HC. They have a defensive genius for a DC and both DC, OC assistant coaches KC have been previous NFL head coaches. Their GM is also brilliant. Kansas City has had it so good for so long because the AFC West has had only one good team with one good head coach. That has now changed with Denver in the lead 8-2, the Chargers right behind them at 7-3 and the Chiefs are 5-4. Their time might be up. This Buffalo head coach in McDermott is not afraid to make changes on his staff as we have seen with several OCs, and several other assistant coaches. When someone doesn't meet this regimes standards they are replaced. Currently the Buffalo offense is the #1 rushing team in the NFL. Joe Brady is a run game god and O line coach Aaron Kromer is the best line coach the Bills have had in forever. Both assistant positions have been changed many times under McD. Leslie Frazier was the DC and responsible for the 13 second debacle and he was replaced. And yes, the buck stops with the head coach and yet we have seen that he doesn't interfere with his assistants. Brian Daboll ran the offense his way as a pass happy mad man. When he left ken Dorsey attempted to follow suit. It wasn't good enough so he was fired and replaced mid season. which was good enough to go from 6-6 to 12-7, a six game tear. Now Joe Brady is running the offense his way which is a run centric offense. What really stinks is the injury bug has hit this team hard again this season with all the rookies and some star players. This isn't the head coaches or GMs fault as it's just bad luck. So many problems have been the injuries at the end of the year and it's like this team is cursed. As far as the injuries they replaced the head trainer and will do it again should they continue. Many other team are in the same situation too. The ravens at 4-5 were supposedly SB contenders this year and they have so many players injured. in 2021 they went 8-9. They had had some serious problems with injuries over the years. -John Harbaugh 18 years-He won a super bowl with QB Joe Falcco who was in Balt for 11 seasons and then they moved on. They now have QB Lamar Jackson 2 time MVP. The Packers had Brett Favre and moved on to Aaron Rodgers and now to Jordan Love. If you have top coaches and a top GM while providing good team culture I think it's easier to find a good QB and develop him rather then find a good head coach/GM. The Buffalo Bills currently have a great head coach and GM! The odds of finding a top NFL head coach/GM are statistically low, as it's a highly competitive and difficult path that often requires years of experience and a strong track record. With this owner searching for a new HC/GM...no thank you.

Of course not! I think the difference between us is that I have faith in this regime to win a Super Bowl or more than just one.

Every time I see one of these moronic threads when the team still has a winning record (6-3) and could still make the playoffs. I keep thinking how supremely lucky Pegula was to hire McD who then hired Beane. The culture the man has built in Buffalo that players actually want to come here to play. Then considering his first hire was Rex Ryan. 🤑 Now I look at the Sabres and their record, currently LAST PLACE. Does anyone really want this owner to pick a new head coach and GM? The very last thing I ever want to see is this franchise searching for a new HC & GM. Not when the current men have this team in the playoffs with a winning record over the last five years. The ONLY team in the NFL that has won more games or been in the playoffs more than the Buffalo Bills are the Kansas City Chiefs. #1 Chiefs 63 wins #2 Bills 60 wins #3 Eagles 56 wins #4 Packers 53 wins #5 Ravens 52 wins And Buffalo has scored more points over those five season 2,421 points, than any other team. Get a grip!

It was one game and any reason for why they all played poorly is just more excuses. Chalk it up to one more loss at 6-3 week 10. Better than 6-6 in 2023 and that year Miami was 9-3 at that time...guess what? Buffalo went on to win the division. Perhaps it was the firing of Ken Dorsey and that put some heat under some behinds. Perhaps it was also the hiring of Joe Brady. Let's just hope the Bills players use this loss to motive them and go on to win more games.

Hey, I stayed in Atlanta for a bit and going from 70 degree house and stepping out into that Georgia sunshine was like walking into a blast furnace. It takes so much out of you fast and I can't imagine running up and down a field if you aren't used to it. That alone would answer a lot.

It was 87 degrees with a lot of humidity. Coming from Buffalo where the temps were in the 30s. Tough to simulate that.

Sometimes good teams look at bad teams (2-7) Dolphins and think they are so bad that all we gotta do is show up and they will go into a fetal position. This is the NFL and even the bad teams have a shot at times. Not to mention that this was a division game and Buffalo has beaten them like a redheaded stepchild over the last few seasons. To Miami, this was their super bowl and big time revenge. The Dolphins wanted this more than life itself and some of the Bills players didn't put out the effort to win. Plus, they might have been looking past them at the Bucs. the Dolphins HC went trolling to a Bills bar after the game to rub it in. This game meant so much to them. We will see this week if that game was an anomaly or what the future holds. We Bills fans can only hope for the former!

"McDermott, 42, was one of four coaches to interview for the Bills' vacancy, along with interim coach Anthony Lynn, Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin and Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard. McDermott had interviewed for a second time with Buffalo ownership on Wednesday in Boca Raton, Florida. "We believe we have hired a smart, determined and hard-working head coach who has been training for many years to achieve this goal," Bills co-owner Terry Pegula said in a statement. "Sean is an ambitious leader who has the desire to lead this organization to compete for and ultimately win a Super Bowl. We look forward to working with Sean for many years to come." "Pegula and his wife, co-owner Kim Pegula, tapped Whaley to lead the coaching search after Ryan was fired Dec. 27. Whaley, who will enter his fifth season as Bills general manager in 2017, said he was part of a "committee approach" that included team president Russ Brandon when Ryan was hired in 2015." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18453441/buffalo-bills-agree-hire-sean-mcdermott-head-coach Doug Whaley was fired right after that 2017 NFL draft.

I've kept saying it's Bills OC Joe Brady and so many keep saying it's the lousy Buffalo receivers. A bit of both? If Joe Brady can get his stuff together this could be a very potent offense, run game #1, QB #1 and it just needs some actual good pass game coaching.

The Colts are 8-2 and play Chiefs, Texans, Jags, Seahawks, 49ers, Jags, Texans. Indy could easily S*** the bed here as all games look tough. Chiefs are 5-4 and brutal to play right now. Jags 5-4. 49ers are 6-4. Seahawks are 7-2. Houston has the #1 defense. Denver is 8-2 and play Chiefs, Commanders, Raiders, Packers, Jags, Chiefs, Chargers. I can see them losing 2- 3 of those...maybe. That Denver defense is for real and is #3 overall while leading in sacks. If Buffalo sweeps they end up 14-3. I hate to say it but if they continue to play poorly and keep getting injuries, 9 wins maybe, no playoffs? Joe Brady gone to NY Giants NE or Denver as either could get home field. I'm thinking/hoping Denver with that defense. REALITY CHECK 😢

Have some of you been watching the games? Buffalo is in very rough shape right now with so many injuries. Passing game isn't working...run defense isn't working. New England has a far easier schedule and the Ravens were the only team they play that was in the playoffs last year. They could lose only to Buffalo and Baltimore and end up 13-4. For Buffalo, Tampa, Philly, Pitt, and Houston were all playoff teams in 2024. Tampa is 6-3 leading their division. Pitt is 5-4 leading their division. Philly is 7-2 leading their division. NE is 8-2 and leading their division I can see Buffalo losing to half of those going 2-2 and what sucks is Joe Burrow is back for the Bills game 12-5 if they are lucky. The ONLY way to sweep the rest is for Bills OC Joe Brady to get his head out of his butt and Buffalo to get healthy...and extremely lucky

Let me ask a question. Is this years receivers corps better then last years?

I'm thinking he already has a job lined up with the NY Giants.

Agree, and it's the very same scheme they used last season to beat the Lions at Detroit 48-42 and lost to the Rams 42-44. Actually I've read that this years receivers corps are better than last seasons. Exactly! I do believe that I've read that opposing players know the scheme and what play are coming better then the Bills players. This OC needs to get his head out of his arse. Joe Brady needs to do a better job!

The 2025 New England Patriots are still utilizing that very same offensive scheme that they used with Tom Brady to win all those SBs and they are currently 8-2 leading the AFC East. Their leading receiver is Stefon Diggs 61 targets, 50 receptions for 554 yards, 3 TDs. They have a top 10 offense, 8th in points, 10th in yards with a +73 point differential. Their defense is also top 10, 6th in points allowed, 8th in yards allowed and they are winning so much because they were 4-13 last season and have a very weak schedule. Vomit on that!
