NFL Gods served the Bills retribution for their fake Tush Push outrage and McDermott is still crying victim

In a past life, maybe I’d feel bad for the Buffalo Bills and their fans. They’ve been one of the best teams of the decade and don’t even have a Super Bowl appearance to show for it. This season felt like their best shot at finally getting there too — no KC in the postseason, and none of the usual big-name quarterbacks standing in their way.

And even with the odds in their favor, the Bills still fell short in tragic fashion this weekend… and once again cried about it. Figuratively and literally.

As I’m sure you remember, Sean McDermott spent his entire offseason pushing for the Tush Push to get banned, hiding behind “player safety” like it was some noble crusade. Fast forward through the 2025 season and the Bills used the Tush Push more than any team in the league. In the postseason, they ran it eight times. When they played the Eagles late in the year, it was literally the only reason they found the end zone.

And like I’ve said before: the Football Gods do not look kindly on hypocrites — especially when the franchise in question has already gotten rules changed in the past because they wouldn’t stop whining (hello, postseason overtime rules).

Now McDermott and his little army of crybabies have fully leaned into their true identity: cry until the rules change.

Never mind the four turnovers. Never mind the back-breaking penalties at the end of the game. Nope. Buffalo’s outrage is locked in on the controversial interception late in the contest involving Brandon Cooks and Ja’Quan McMillian.

The play was ruled an interception, and the officials basically speed-ran the review like they had dinner reservations. Honestly? It’s hard to tell in real time. I’ll let you be the judge.

The narrative McDermott is pushing now is that he’s “standing up for Buffalo” by calling this out as a bad call. No. No you’re not. You’re doing what you’ve done for years — blaming the officials to redirect heat away from yourself.

And the Football Gods don’t take kindly to that. They never have. Every time you cry victim, they show up with another gut punch.

At this point, I’m starting to think the Bills might never win a Super Bowl… at least as long as this dunce is running the show.

Anyone with half a brain cell understands this simple truth: if you let the game come down to the officials in crunch time, that’s on you. Play better for the other 58 minutes and don’t even give the zebras a chance to ruin it.

Every team has been in that spot before. It happened to the Eagles in the Super Bowl with the phantom PI on James Bradberry. The difference? Philly didn’t spend the next six months crying about it. They took it on the chin, came back, and two years later they got their revenge.

Buffalo just doesn’t get it. And maybe they never will.

This is the kind of embarrassing loss that can tear down a franchise. The Bills had their chance to finally win it all this year and they let it slip away because they simply didn’t play well enough. Now it’s just another chapter in the annual tradition — a playoff collapse followed by a full-blown victim tour.

And I don’t see it ending anytime soon.

Editor’s Note: McDermott was fired about 30 minutes after publishing this. So, maybe Buffalo actually will rebound from this. Only time will tell.
