After the Buffalo Bills were knocked off by the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, many fans are calling for an organizational change.
Sure, Josh Allen didn’t have his best game, and the Bills offense was unable to get any traction in this game.
The biggest issue for the Bills seems to be their defense, at least in the playoffs.
The #Bills defense last 3 playoff losses:
107 points allowed – 36.6 ppg
1403 yards allowed – 467.67 ypgBut it’s not the defensive coordinator…#BillsMafia

In the regular season this year, the Bills defense was the second-best in the league, allowing just 17.5 points per game.
However, their defense has fallen apart in the playoffs.
In their last three playoff losses, they are letting up over 450 yards of offense per game and allowing over 35 points per game.
Even in Allen’s best games, it is difficult to continue to score points when your defense continues to let you down.
In their offseason, the Bills will need to take a serious look at their situation and figure out what their best course of action will be.
Should they fire their defensive coordinator?
Head coach?
After all, Sean McDermott is one of the most notable defensive-minded head coaches in the league, and the team’s defense continues to let them down in the playoffs.
Whatever it takes, the Bills need to make a change.
The Kansas Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals don’t appear to be going away anytime soon, and look to be a thorn in the Bills’ side for years to come.
To beat the best, you need to be the best.
The Bills will need to shore up their defense in the coming seasons if they want any chance at succeeding in the playoffs.
