42 years old, have been a Bills fan my entire life, used to help my dad out at training camp in the summer at SUNY Fredonia in the 80s and 90s.
Coach McDermott is an man of integrity, and integrity is worth a thousand Super Bowls. You can't buy integrity, you can't be given it - you have to be it, walk it, live it. Firing Coach McDermott in a knee-jerk reaction, without any gratitude for what he has done for our team, is shameful. There were better, more dignified ways you could have addressed this kind of operational change.
I have been so proud to be a Bills fan my whole life, I have brought Bills Mafia love with me everywhere I have gone, and the organization has absolutely broken my heart over how this situation was handled. Coach McDermott deserved better. I have never felt shame over the Bills losing a game, but I feel shame for how the Bills treated Coach McDermott.

I have been a Buffalo fan for years and to say this is disheartening is an understatement. McDermott has fostered the type of environment and mantra that we have needed for a very long time. He is loyal, steadfast, intelligent and has brought this team something truly special. While I understand changes may need to occur at times, this was the wrong change. As someone previously noted, you cannot “win enough”. The victories that we have had over this time period should be noted and celebrated. LETS GO 🦬 BUFFALO!!!! Bring McDermott back!

As a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan—born and raised right here in Western New York, practically on a folding table amid the tailgate chaos—I’ve bled blue and red since day one. Hearing talks about firing Coach Sean McDermott just doesn’t sit right with me, and I think it’s the wrong move for our team. I’m throwing my two cents out there anyway, even if it gets lost in the shuffle, because us fans deserve a voice, especially as taxpayers who’ve chipped in to keep this franchise thriving (hello, stadium funding).
Look, McDermott has earned his spot in Buffalo. Here are some key factors why letting him go would be a massive mistake:
1. Consistent Success and Playoff Runs: Since taking over in 2017, he’s turned us from a perennial underdog into a legit contender. We’ve made the playoffs six out of the last seven years (as of 2025), including multiple deep runs. That’s not luck—it’s coaching that builds resilience and wins games when it counts.
2. Player Development and Culture Building: He’s the architect behind Josh Allen’s rise from raw talent to MVP-caliber QB. McDermott fosters a tough, accountable atmosphere that embodies Bills Mafia spirit—high energy, no excuses, family vibe. Our defense has been top-tier under him, and that “process” he preaches keeps the locker room locked in, even through injuries and tough losses.
3. Long-Term Stability: Firing him now disrupts everything. We’ve got a young core, a new stadium on the horizon, and momentum. Knee-jerk changes have sunk franchises before—remember the revolving door before McDermott? He understands Buffalo’s grit and weather; an outsider might not gel the same way.
4. Fan and Community Impact: The energy he brings pumps up the entire city. Sellouts, wild tailgates, national buzz— that’s McDermott’s influence. As fans (and yes, taxpayers footing part of the bill), we should demand our say before they torch what works.
Bills for life—let’s keep Coach Mac and chase that ring! #BillsMafia #GoBills

Let the boys play football without having to work against the refs! The Auburn Georgia game was the worst officiated game I have quite literally ever seen. Here is why:
- touchdown call ruled a fumble
- listening to Kirby even though he clearly called a timeout and still no delay of game
- targeting call on #4, but not on the 2 Georgia players in the 2nd half
- all the calls made in the last 2 minutes of the 1st half
- Arnold’s first down in the 1st half that they reviewed and marked him short
- many missed holding calls that led to Georgia gaining yards
- not reviewing any controversial plays in Georgia
- Holding call on Auburn in the 2nd half when he brushed the Georgia guy
- roughing the passer call in the 2nd half on Auburn
- and so many more
All of these completely shifted the momentum of the game. Auburn couldn’t even play without a flag or a play under review.
Madison supported: Investigate Ken WilliamsonIm a Bama fan this has been one of the worst officiating I have ever seen in my 7 years of watching college football. He shouldn’t just be him who should be investigated it should be Jason Autry and the others too.
Kohlman supported: Investigate Ken WilliamsonIn the auburn Georgia game I could see the ball cross the line for a touchdown halfway across the kitchen on a tiny screen but after 30 minutes of review the ref couldn’t see it right in front of him
