Buffalo Bills Release Official Statement On Sean McDermott Firing

Getting to the playoffs isn't the goal. This was THE year to go all the way without Burrow, Mahomes or Jackson in the picture.

At some point you either have to accept being good but not great or make a change. The NFL is too big to accept just making the playoffs as "good enough".

It's a business. Getting to the playoffs every year is very different than winning through the playoffs. Making the playoffs regularly and getting bounced just as regularly has undone more than a few coaches. Hell, it was a big reason that Steelers fans (and probably ownership) were upset with Mike Tomlin.

He wasn't called the David Robinson of NFL coaches for nothing.
