He's Being Scapegoated!' Stephen A. Smith Trashes Buffalo Bills for Firing Coach After Playoff Loss
"On Saturday, the Bills lost 33-30 to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. The loss marked a disappointing end to the Bills' season, as many believed the team was primed for a deep run and potentially a Super Bowl appearance. With the team once again falling short at the end of a promising season, the team announced Monday that it would be parting ways with McDermott."
"I don't like it, Smith said. I don't like it at all. I think he's being scapegoated. Why isn't Beane being gone? Why is he still keeping his job? He's the one that didn't have the assets necessary in order for the Buffalo Bills to advance. If the Buffalo Bills had pulled the trigger before the trading deadline and acquired Jaylen Waddle out of Alabama, from Miami the way this brother could play and you had given Josh Allen that kind of a threat, what would have happened?"
The Buffalo Bills lost 33-30 to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round, ending a season that many expected to produce a deep playoff run and a potential Super Bowl appearance. The team subsequently fired head coach Sean McDermott and promoted general manager Brandon Beane to president of football operations while he retained the GM role. Critics characterized McDermott as being scapegoated and placed greater blame on roster construction and asset management. The failure to acquire a dynamic receiver upgrade before the trade deadline, such as Jaylen Waddle, was identified as a factor that limited Josh Allen's supporting weapons.
