‘“I understand why they did it. They’re in a pressure cooker situation where changes have to be made to get the results they want to get,” said Bills fan Tyler Butcher. “I don’t think it all falls on his shoulders. There’s a lot of pieces to the puzzle. I think it’s a step that needed to be made. I guess we’ll see how it plays out long term, or short term really because they need to win now.”’

‘”There’s really never a good time to do it, right, particularly on a short week,” McDermott said. “I just felt like this was the right time.

Observations: Buffalo Bills' season all but over after embarrassing loss to Denver Broncos

‘This early. This maddeningly. This stunningly.’
'They gave us a chance': McDermott says Bills defense kept team in it for bulk of loss
‘Though the Bills ultimately fell short, the defense kept the them in it for just about as long as possible, on a Monday night when the offense turned the ball over four times and was ineffective at other points. Special teams struggled, as well, and the game-winning field goal came after the Bills were called for 12 men on the field, as they failed a quick exchange between their dime defense and field goal block unit, which they had practiced during the week, coach Sean McDermott said.’
Three questions: Bills' playoff hopes cooked, and coaches are to blame for 12 men
‘It’s hard to imagine anything topping the “13 seconds” coaching mistake in the playoff loss at Kansas City. This doesn’t top that. But having 12 men on the field when Denver missed the 40-yard field goal with 4 seconds left is on the coaching staff. Sure, some player made a mistake going out there. But Buffalo called timeout with 24 seconds left. Special teams coordinator Matthew Smiley should have made sure 11 men were on the field. And that mistake ultimately falls on McDermott.’

Report card: Another game, more failing grades in latest Bills' loss
‘It’s not going to happen, but having 12 men on the field for the Broncos’ field goal attempt is enough to get a coach fired. That’s absolutely inexcusable, but it is far from the only problem for the coaching staff. The bigger issue is what the offensive coaches have done to Allen. It is probably too late to make a difference and save the season, but if Sean McDermott wasn’t before, he absolutely has to be thinking about replacing offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey at this point.’
