NFL Week 2, 2018: 5 Coaches on the hot seat

4. Sean McDermott

One year after emerging as one of the biggest surprise contenders in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills knew that offense could end up being a major issue during the 2018 season, especially with all of the uncertainty at the quarterback position. Not only did the offense of the Bills put together a disastrous performance in the opener when taking on the Baltimore Ravens by scoring just three points, but the defense couldn’t even come through on their end either.

After a 47-3 loss, Buffalo has plenty of questions heading into their second game of 2018 at home against the Los Angeles Chargers, who are coming off a frustrating Week 1 loss of their own to the Kansas City Chiefs. Bills fans remember well the kind of performance Nathan Peterman (five interceptions in one half) put together last year when facing the Chargers, and even though the chances of him doing this again are slim, it shows the uncertainty at quarterback.

Sean McDermott received heavy praise for helping Buffalo put an end to their playoff drought last year against all the odds. But if the Bills are going to continue playing at this low level on offense, it’s only going to make things worse for the Buffalo coach.
