This is well worth the read. Well written and makes you think a little
A tiger cannot change his stripes.
Ultimately, neither can Sean McDermott.
The 2020 Bills came so close to winning it all. Their offense was nearly unstoppable. It didn’t resemble anything Buffalo had seen in decades. And it was the first time they made it to the AFC Title game since 1993.
But instead of running it back with minor tweaks, McDermott said in his post-season press conference that he wanted to “start over” and do so by “running the ball better.”
The direction of the Bills has been a downward spiral ever since that fateful day.
Want to know why that 2020 season seems so different and magical than what the Bills have seen since, particularly in recent years?
Because that was the only year McDermott truly took a step back from the offense and let someone else give it a spin with full impunity.
As I’ll detail below, that was OC Brian Daboll’s ticket to ride anything at the park. Super Bowl or bust. But if it busts, regardless of whether it got *this close* to a Super Bowl, the fun is over. Back to basics.
