– Owner Terry Pegula says Josh Allen had no input on firing McDermott. The decision was his alone, driven by a pattern of playoff near-misses and no Super Bowl appearances. 📊
– Pegula described Allen’s locker-room moment after the OT loss—Allen with his head down—along with the overall vibe in the room, as a key factor in evaluating the direction of the franchise. He also noted he disagreed with the disputed overtime call that gave Denver possession, but emphasized the move wasn’t about one play. 🏈
– The Bills have already begun their coaching search, with Brandon Beane steering the process as president of football operations. Brian Daboll, a Buffalo native and former OC under McDermott who later led the Giants, is among the targets. 🔥
– Bottom line: Buffalo is pivoting hard to find a coach who can push them over the playoff hump, while Allen remains a stud QB with no formal input into the decision—setting up a hungry, high-stakes offseason. 📊
