The Buffalo Bills faced a disappointing 30-13 defeat against the Miami Dolphins in Week 10, raising significant concerns about the team”s future under head coach Sean McDermott. Quarterback Josh Allen had a challenging outing, completing 28 of 40 passes for 306 yards, along with two touchdowns and one interception; notably, both of his touchdown passes occurred in the fourth quarter.
Following the game, NFL analyst Colin Cowherd expressed strong criticism towards McDermott, questioning his capability to effectively lead the Bills and bring out the best in Allen and the overall team. Cowherd”s remarks come at a time when the Bills are striving to capitalize on Allen”s prime, especially given his previous MVP achievement last season.
Since being hired in January 2017, McDermott has guided the Bills to five consecutive AFC East titles. However, the franchise has yet to reach the Super Bowl, a goal that has eluded them for years, particularly with Allen at the helm of the offense.
Currently, the Bills hold a 6-3 record and are preparing to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who also share the same record, this coming Sunday. The matchup is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. While the Bills are still in contention for a playoff spot, their pursuit of a sixth straight AFC East title may be jeopardized, as the New England Patriots have two additional wins over Buffalo, having secured their seventh consecutive victory against the Buccaneers in Week 10.
As the season progresses, the pressure mounts on McDermott to deliver results and ensure that the talents of players like Allen are fully utilized, a sentiment echoed by many fans and analysts alike.
