Bills fire HC Sean McDermott

[Zanary]

You or I could take the Bills to the playoffs every year with the best QB in the game on our roster.   There's no reason to just keep rinse repeating playoff exits with McDermott.

 ...except, that "best QB" is his team's worst enemy just often enough that he costs them further success. When he implodes, he IMPLODES.

Coaches can work to reign in bad tendencies.  Or do what they can situationally to mitigate them.  

Case in point--end of the first half in Denver, Allen's fumble leads to 3 for the Broncos and that's the final point differential in the game.  McDermott should have shut it down before that happened as there wasn't enough time to score anyway.  Nothing good could come from letting Allen indulge bad instincts there.  The hc's job is to be aware and on top of game decisions but McDermott acted like a spectator there.  And today he's unemployed and rightly so imho.

Yep.

The fans hunger to change things out is just so ingrained, lol. If some people think that coaches like Kevin Stefanski, Sean McDermott and Mike Tomlin aren't REALLY good HCs you're sorely mistaken. Nothing more overused or just plain wrong than the term 'just needs a change of scenery'. Who's possibly going to get more out of Buffalo than McDermott has done the last what, 6 years? The opposite is much more likely to happen. Like did Andy Reid really just become a shit HC in Philly? Absolutely not. 

But those immediate endorphin rushes for fans are just too strong.
