The Buffalo Bills moved on from head coach Sean McDermott on Monday, just days after the team’s latest playoff exit. It came as a shock to Bills Mafia and reporters alike, who had been digging for information for weeks on the status of the head coach.

Now that some of the dust has settled and before general manager and new Bills president of football operations Brandon Beane meets the media this week, we are starting to get word on what exactly happened. Some of it is speculation. Some of it is genuine reporting. Let us sift it all out.

Sean...

Okay I’m a bit guilty of a clickbait-y headline here. Obviously the flags were a big deal. When you have 47 yards of controversial flags, and six less controversial, on one drive in a “next score wins” situation, of course it’s a big deal. It’s a really flipping big deal.

Now that you’re here, let’s do some math on the penalties — which will tell us much more accurately just how big of a deal they were. As a heads up, I don’t feel the need for video this week as we all relived the flags enough as it is...

The Buffalo Bills have begun the offseason process in earnest in the wake of their season-ending 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos on Saturday. The team fired head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons at the helm. The Bills also announced that they have signed a dozen players to reserve/future contracts.

Most of these names should be familiar, as each player either was on the Bills’ practice squad at the end of the season or spent time with Buffalo during the 2025 NFL season. Of the 12 players signed to reserve/future deals on Monday, six of them played in at...

Buffalo Bills players have taken to social media and contacting their media member of choice to share their thoughts on the unexpected firing of head coach Sean McDermott. We likely won’t see anyone calling out the organization explicitly, but McDermott seemed to be well-liked by his players, so there will some pushback at least in the early stages.

We will keep adding reactions as they come in and wait for the biggest one of all in terms of Josh Allen.

The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott on Monday, just days after another disappointing playoff loss. At the same time, it was shared that general manager Brandon Beane would stay on in his role and lead the head coach search. Not only that, the Bills promoted Beane to president of football operations. That likely signals that the new head coach will report to Beane whereas McDermott had reported directly to owner Terry Pegula.

This has not sat well with a lot of Bills fans, who blame Beane for the team’s shortcomings in 2025. Beane’s post-draft rant about the wide...

The Buffalo Bills are looking for a brand new head coach after firing Sean McDermott this week. Two slots have already been filled this week with the New York Giants hiring former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and the Atlanta Falcons hiring Kevin Stefanski, formerly of the Cleveland Browns.

Those are the names off the list. So here’s a list of potential names the Bills will interview.

Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady

Brady has received three head coach interviews this cycle elsewhere. He has a relationship with Josh Allen and the rest of the people in the...

The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Sean McDermott. McDermott is the third long-tenured NFL head coach fired in the last two weeks since the 2025 NFL season ended, joining John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin.

The Bills have not been to a Super Bowl under McDermott despite having an MVP quarterback and a solid roster for years. Multiple reports have general manager Brandon Beane staying on to lead the next head coach search.

Buffalo lost 33-30 in overtime on Saturday to the Denver Broncos. That’s six straight years with a playoff victory. No team has ever won a playoff game...

Here at Buffalo Rumblings, it’s a day of mourning for Buffalo Bills fans. The stench of a brutal 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos continues to waft down from up high in Colorado.

In perhaps his most chaotic postseason performance, quarterback Josh Allen committed four turnovers yet still managed to put his team in position to steal a victory in overtime. Unfortunately for Bills Mafia and football fans alike, officiating took center stage in overtime after allowing both teams to play a more physical brand of ball for 60 minutes. Now, the Broncos move on to the AFC Championship...

Hours after the Buffalo Bills suffered a crushing playoff defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos, losing 33-30 in overtime in the Divisional Round, news leaked that highly respected offensive line coach Aaron Kromer is set to retire.

Kromer has coached in the NFL for parts of 24 seasons, dating back to the 2001 season. Before he began coaching in the NFL, he coached in the college ranks, starting as a graduate assistant with Miami of Ohio in 1990. He was promoted to the tight ends/H-Backs coach in 1992, a position he held through the 1997 season. In 1998,...

In their victory over the Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos quarterback suffered a broken ankle two plays before kicker Wil Lutz pushed three winning points through the uprights. Nix has been ruled out for the remainder of the postseason, which means that backup 29-year-old career backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham will try and guide the Broncos to Super Bowl LX.

It’s a situation that should have both the New England Patriots and Houston Texans peeking ahead to next week’s AFC Championship game, even if neither team should spend a moment doing it. It’s likely that whoever wins among New England and Houston...

Brandin Cooks caught the ball. Everyone knows it. Show that play to a six-year-old and they know it. NFL referees disagree, and the Buffalo Bills lost the game against the Denver Broncos in part because they called an interception on a Buffalo Bills catch.

On 3rd and 11 in overtime at their own 36, the Buffalo Bills called a shot play. Josh Allen cocked back and unloaded, sending the ball to Cooks deep in Denver territory. Cooks caught the pass, hit the ground, and was touched down. CBS announcer Jim Nantz said he caught it (because he did). It should...

I was ready to write a succinct postscript on the Buffalo Bills’ season had they lost to the Denver Broncos, chalking it up to reaching their limit after enduring so many injuries. But, there’s always more when it comes to discussing the Bills. Here are a few of my meandering thoughts while the blood is still tacky and warm.

Almost like clockwork, the Bills are heading home playoff losers, having dropped another elimination game that felt like it came too soon in the process. That process is something Bills Mafia has been told to trust, yet every year since head...
