Bills fans disappointed, but optimistic about team: ‘It’s going to happen soon, I can feel it’

That’s where it started for me, and my whole life it’s been fighting tooth and nail to get back there and ultimately win one. And it’s going to happen soon — I can feel it.”’

Bills McDermott lacked faith in Allen, trusted defense & cost team
‘Of course you know what happened the rest of the way. McDermott drives kept ending in kicks too, but they were extra points. Allen began pressing and making mistakes with his margin of error reduced to so razor thin than he played like a guy trying to score 14 points on every attempt. A week before his mentor, Andy Reid, facing a 4th and 1 with his backup QB on the field did not flinch. He went for it. He threw it. He won. McDermott watched that game but did not learn. He complimented Reid and said that’s Andy, but the Bills head coach failed to follow the leader. It’s a learning experience for the entire franchise, but no one more than the Bills coach and the QB. Allen has a lot to learn and he did that after his failing last year in Houston. But he’s not going to get there if his coach does not give him the chance. And Sean McDermott took that away on Sunday night in Kansas City.’
