"Over the last five years, most of the drama in the AFC East, beyond the expected bad coaching leading to bad results with a team like the Jets, has almost exclusively surrounded the Patriots, mainly due to the revolving door of quarterbacks and the growing tension that eventually led to the firing of Bill Belichick. Luckily, that appears to be a thing of the past in New England, and instead,"
"At the first press conference since the announcement, team owner Terry Pegula and general manager Brandon Beane, who many Bills' fans believed should've been fired instead, made a mockery of the entire situation, putting their foot in their mouths throughout the entire presser. That only emboldened the fans further, who took to social media to air their grievances with the team and to create an online petition demanding that Pegula reverse the decision."
Sean McDermott was fired after a nine-year tenure as Buffalo Bills head coach. The dismissal prompted widespread fan outrage and an online petition that topped 40,000 signatures. Team owner Terry Pegula and general manager Brandon Beane held a press conference that many fans found tone-deaf and insulting, which further inflamed public sentiment. Supporters criticized leadership for scapegoating McDermott for broader team failures. Patriots fans reacted with schadenfreude given recent New England turmoil. The petition continued to grow as fans demanded that Pegula reverse the decision and questioned front-office accountability.
