Fire Sean McDermott? Bills reeling after latest Chiefs loss but only a fool would bring that hot take to table

The Bills are fine when you zoom back and look at the long view, despite what some people will suggest

Monday morning can be cruel. The Monday after the AFC title game, at least for Bills quarterback Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott, feels crueler than most. The weather is frigid, the hot takes are scorching and Buffalo is forced to beat on, Bills against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. 

Allen is a Hall of Fame quarterback, yet he's never won an MVP (we'll see if that changes) and he's never been to the Super Bowl (that won't, at least not this year), almost entirely because of the existence of Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. For the non-Gatsby fans in the crowd, perhaps a more modern reference will explain just what it's like for the Bills to keep losing against the Chiefs in the playoffs:

That's four playoff losses for Allen and the Bills to Mahomes and the Chiefs. They've all been close losses, but they're still all losses. Before this season's epic matchup, the narrative was already built. It's only going to get louder. And you're going to hear a lot of people questioning whether Allen can win the big one, and -- even worse -- plenty of sports shriekers talking about Buffalo needing to move on from McDermott.
