FYI, add another one:

On one hand, I get it, Josh Allen never making a Super Bowl suggests there's something wrong with the team - but that could just be not having a good enough team, and / or running into perennial buzzsaws.

Realistically, if we fire a fourth to a third of the coaches every year, its hard to imagine anyone having any long term success - but here's another spot where the sport doesn't care about long term performance over average, we only care about the ~3% that win the Super Bowl each year.

Most coaches on bad teams certainly don't get much in terms of job security, but putting McDermott in that group doesn't add up for me, he had nearly a decade with the team, 8 with Allen.

Also, not only are the Bills keeping their GM, he's actually getting a promotion, when you could make the argument this is one of the worst versions of the team recently.

Bears should have gone for 2. Why chance what could happen in overtime?
Everyone is saying that but they were getting stopped on 3rd and 4th and shorts all game and the Rams offense was not doing well.

They got the ball in OT and should have won without a careless throw and amazing int.

GMs can't keep teams loaded with talent forever. McDermott is a shit coach that should've been fired after the 2021 season, after letting KC score in 13 seconds.

Beane hasn't done a good job around Allen either tho, he has been just as shit.
