The Buffalo Bills had another heartbreaking loss in the playoffs this season, but they were still considered a stable franchise — just one that couldn’t get over the hump. Now, days after the loss, Buffalo’s reputation is no longer the same. The team fired Sean McDermott as head coach, which was heavily criticized, and the joint press conference on Wednesday by team owner Terry Pegula and general manager Brandon Beane only made things worse.
Beane showed up to the press conference prepared to do what most general managers do in front of microphones: take accountability while also defending themselves, and giving stock answers for the most part.
