Emotional events often lead to rash—and sometimes hyperbolic—reactions.
This is unsurprisingly the case yet again following the Buffalo Bills’ ugly Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans, a defeat in which Buffalo all but gift-wrapped its opponent the opportunity to kick a game-winning field goal due to its own clock management ineptitude before tying one hand behind its own back by initially sending only 10 players onto the field on Houston’s final offensive play. It was an ugly ending to an even uglier game, yet another manifestation of the decision-making and general coaching woes that have loomed over Orchard Park throughout head coach Sean McDermott’s tenure.
And the frustration and raw emotion created by loss have sparked impassioned reactions across social media. Not insignificant swaths of the Buffalo faithful are calling for the eighth-year sideline boss to be shown the exit door as a result of the late-game gaffes, which he has since taken credit for.
