The Buffalo Bills have had a heck of a few days after the end of their 2025 NFL season.

The Bills finished the year with a 12-5 regular season record. Buffalo went on the fall 33-30 to the Denver Broncos in the AFC divisional round in a controversial conclusion.

In the aftermath, the decision was made to fire head coach Sean McDermott.

Along with firing McDermott, the team promoted Beane to President of Football Operations as well.

With the dust settled, a joint press conference was held with team owner Terry Pegula and general manager Brandon Beane.

It did not go well.

The McDermott decision alone caused more controversy. Then Buffalo’s decision to draft wide receiver Keon Coleman was dragged through the mud… mostly because of comments made by Pegula.

All in all, it was a public relations mess for the Bills… and the reaction by the great NFL world proved that.

With that, here is a roundup of national media reaction to the Pegula-Beane press conference:
