Dear Terry & Kim Pegula,

I am writing to you as a passionate and lifelong Buffalo Bills fan, and I want to address some serious concerns that need immediate attention. First and foremost, it is time to move on from Sean McDermott as our head coach. Year after year, we see the same results—coming up short in the playoffs, failing to make the necessary in-game adjustments, and ultimately watching another season end in disappointment. While McDermott has helped build a strong foundation, it is clear that he is not the coach who will lead us to a Super Bowl. We cannot continue to waste the prime years of Josh Allen and this talented roster with a coach who simply cannot take us to the next level. It’s time for a change.

Additionally, I want to bring attention to the state of NFL officiating, particularly in our playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The officiating crew in that game made multiple questionable calls that directly impacted the outcome. It is unacceptable for a game of that magnitude to be affected by poor officiating, and the league needs to be held accountable. I urge you to push the NFL to investigate that referee crew, demand changes, and ensure that officials who make game-altering mistakes face consequences, whether it be suspensions or removal from future playoff games. The integrity of the game is at stake, and Bills fans deserve better.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you consider these concerns seriously because the Bills are so close to reaching the ultimate goal, but changes need to be made. Bills Mafia is counting on you to do what’s right for the future of this franchise

As a passionate fan of the National Football League and a lifelong supporter of the Buffalo Bills, I feel compelled to express my deep frustration following the outcome of last night’s game between the Bills and the Chiefs. It has become blatantly obvious that questionable officiating is impacting the integrity of the game, and I am writing to urge you to address this issue.

While we all understand that officiating in professional sports is inherently challenging, there were clear instances during the game where calls—or the lack thereof—severely disadvantaged the Buffalo Bills. From a fan’s perspective, it felt as though we were robbed, and it’s disheartening to think that these mistakes could determine outcomes at the highest level of competition.

My father, a dedicated healthcare professional who is a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner, even noted from a medical standpoint that your referees might need their vision checked. While this comment is made partially in jest, the truth remains that errors of this magnitude warrant accountability and action.

It’s time for meaningful change. Referees need to face the same level of scrutiny as players and coaches, whether that’s through public accountability or media interviews. Allowing referees to explain their calls or decisions, similar to how head coaches are required to address the media, would be a step toward transparency and rebuilding fan trust. Furthermore, I strongly urge you to consider stricter evaluations of officiating performance and to implement firings or suspensions for officials who consistently fail to meet professional standards.

The NFL is built on the passion of its players, coaches, and fans, and it deserves to be governed with fairness and integrity. As Commissioner, the responsibility falls on you to ensure that the game remains credible and enjoyable for everyone.

I sincerely hope that you take these concerns seriously and implement reforms to improve the quality and accountability of NFL officiating.

This was sparked by a REALLY bad joke I saw on the Jets sub- essentially making fun of the fact the Bills are only AFC East team without a ring.

This had me thinking, what is the most disliked rivalry we have? For me, it’d be the Dolphins fs. The Pats I’ve always respected and now that their dynasty is safely over- it never really kept us down like the Chiefs are. With the Jets I pity them in a way for their continuous mediocrity. Then there’s the Dolphins… they are nearly as mediocre as the Jets historically, yet they are still cocky. For what? They feel out of place in this division tbh which has always made me resent them.

And Kellen Moore outcoaches Spagnuolo, do you think the Bills should consider offering Moore the head coaching job?

Want to know your opinions on him coming out of the draft

A bills fan gave me this at a bar. Anyone know what it is?

Hashtag Monday vibe

My humble opinion in order of need:

- 1-2 corners- one early (1^(st) round) and one late rounder because Rasul Douglas is making a lot of money and at 31 he is no longer a no. 1 corner. Ingram has potential and I wonder if he could develop into a nickel guy.

- an early round receiver (2^(nd) round, because Shakir is going to get paid after his contract expires next year) and the bills cannot afford Amari Cooper. I’m up in the air about Mack Hollins (hell of a year for a 32 year old special teams player). I’m gonna say resign him for one more year if you can get him to stay for the same or less than what they paid him (2.6m). Coleman may be a top tier receive yet if he gets stronger and if Josh can continue to work on throwing that back shoulder route b.

- a utility secondary player (3rd) because Taron Johnson isn’t getting any younger and Cam Lewis is probably not a starter, and I’m not sure if they should resign Damar Hamlin because as mediocre as he has been at safety, I respect what he mean to the team. If they’re going to trade for someone, I think a Safety/utility secondary player. This is a position that requires both raw skills and football sense.

- a later (4^(th)/5^(th)) round linebacker (Bernard’s contract expires next year, Spector may not be able to play through his rookie contract with that calf). Dorian Williams proved this year that he can start, but the needed depth at this position this year. Edefuan Ulofoshio may not make the team in 2025.

- an edge rusher because we don’t really know what Javon Soloman can do yet, Rousseau’s contract is up next year and he’s gonna demand a large contract somewhere, and Epenesa’s contract is also finished next year (he will need to earn being resigned this year). They should cut Von to save 8m. I think you draft an exterior D-lineman instead of interior because I think DeWayne Carter starts in 2025.

- I think they’ll also draft a lineman because they’ve had success drafting this position and McGovern’s contract runs out after next year.

- I think they should also resign Jordan Phillips (1 year, 1.5m) and Ty Johnson (1 year, 1.3m)

That Beane press conference really wound me up and hearing him say that we can’t judge the decision to go with Keon for “four or five years” really bugged me.

People who think we got the better end of the deal (which seems like all of you on reddit), why?

If Keon had the year that worthy had (and vice versa) wouldn’t we feel like we won that draft? Yet everybody here keeps saying they think Keon will make some leap and Worthy won’t improve in year two?

And to add insult to injury, everybody here is saying how we just “need a burner who can stretch the field”.

What is going on?!

AFL champions...

1964: Beat San Diego in Buffalo at War Memmorial

1965: Beat San Diego in San Diego at Balboa Park

Went for the 3-peat, but lost in the 1966 championship game. in Buffalo, at War Memorial...to Kansas City.

Analyzed every defensive down and came away with two core notes:

1.) The bills defense is soft. The personnel don’t tackle hard, they don’t tackle collectively, they don’t fight for plays.

2.) The defensive play calling is a joke. Why the hell are we running cover-one half the game? This is a failure from the concepts drafting room. As a result the surprise factor is not there. Barely any motion, hardly any disguises. Second options aren’t read well, cb’s and lb’s are getting rubbed in terrible ways.

Honestly what is happening in practice? Josh Allen is fighting for the offense to make something happen, but the defense is so incredibly charmin’ ultra-soft? This is a failure on multiple level, I would immediately fire or demote Bobby Babich, and press Christian Taylor and Marcus West. For a team that has faced PM15 multiple times this is unacceptable. I understand not everything is on coaches, some of that responsibility has to go to the players but replacing coaches is the first step to instilling a new mindset. Until this defensive room is sorted out it doesn’t matter how talented Josh Allen is. Respectfully, I say that as an Eagles fan; furthermore a non-traditional run and gun QB fan. This wasn’t in peace, the fact you left that game without landing a single hard hit puts us in a tough position.

I’d love to see him in Buffalo next year.

Not a bills fan, but been seeing some posts on this sub about replacing McDermott, because he can’t win the Super Bowl. Hypothetically the Bills do that and the new coach is worse. Would Bills fans want to fire the new coach after a year or give him 2 years to see if he can do better the second year. How many coaches would the team be willing to through to find the right one and how many years does Josh Allen have to wait and find out. Would you guys prefer the volatility of a new coach over the proven but limited McDermott

TLDR: what if the grass is not greener for a McDermott replacement

I have a Color rush (red) Khalil Shakir #10 autographed jersey with a fanatics authentication i am looking to sell for a good price. I am around $100 plus shipping. Paypal Goods and services only to protect me and the buyer. Can post pictures if interested.

Go Bills.

Yup he’s basically a pensioner and injury prone. But you’ve gotta assume Amari Cooper’s time is limited and we need another WR with potential. At worst, he can fill the same role Cooper did keeping the defence occupied. At best, he can give us the edge to get to the SB. We absolutely need to invest heavy in our own defence, but surely the value to cost ratio is too good to pass up…

Thought about the loss and previous losses again lately and as a fun exercise I thought of the biggest reasons for a potential KC win and the actual reason we lost since 2021 just to see where we keep going wrong. Feel free to disagree or agree.

2021 Reasons we should've won: Gabe Davis. This might be sacrilege to say when Allen gets the glory for this game but Gabe absolutely destroyed KC more than any other individual player in the Mahomes era. Davis was so dominant it made Allen's task significantly easier Actual reason we lost: coaching. No other way to put it. Everyone knows why. McDermott/Frazier wear this one

2023 Reasons we should've won: On 2nd and 9 Allen decided to throw to Shakir in the end zone instead of taking a wide open Diggs to continue the drive in the late 4th. Jones beats Dawkins and the next play is a throwaway. Bass misses the tying field goal. Brady called an incredible last drive but it comes up short

Actual reason we lost: Pacheco. Pacheco ran all over the Bills at home and arguably the main reason KC win the game averaged 6.5 per run, 4.8 per run if the longest run taken out , he also sealed the game with a first down run. Run defense fails.

2024 Reasons we should've won: Hard choice here as the offense never really dominated, but Philips blowing up Mahomes and holding KC to a field goal lead with three minutes should've been a reasonable way to finally finish off Kansas city. It was enough time for a complete drive.

Reasons we lost: again really difficult to say because this might've been the first complete team loss since 2020. Refs were terrible, Joe Brady going away from Cook, spamming the tush push, and final set of play calls were all terrible. The defense aside from two drives were allowing easy completions and QB runs all game (but stuffed KCs run game effectively). End of the day it was a combination loss but if someone wears the dud hat it would likely have to be Brady for overall run game plan, tush push adjustments, and final drive play calling. Strange too considering the year before he did quite well in the clutch, it was just Allen, Dawkins and Bass who failed for execute.

In sum 2021 X factor win: Gabe Davis Real factor loss: defensive last minute coaching

2023: X factor win: Joe Brady play calling Real factor loss: run defense

2024: Xfactor win:defense stiffens and holds KC to a FG l and despite mediocre play gives the offense 3 and half mins in the 4th with a 3 point deficit Real Factor loss: Joe Brady overall.
