It all comes down to Pegula. There are actually 2 areas he's gotten off easy on. Sure, his defense letting us down is more of an annual tradition than the Macy's Parade.
But his first year here if reports are correct, and I believe they are, that Pegula wanted Mahomes and placed his trust in McDermott to make the choice. Now, win some lose some, sure, and we did end up with Josh Allen. But if I'm the owner and I keep watching the guy I wanted piledrive us out of the playoffs year after year...at some point I may question if the guy that didn't wanna take that QB actually knows what he's talking about
