The Buffalo Bills have been in the title picture over and over.
They haven't even reached the Super Bowl in this era, though, let alone won it, and it has Bills Mafia wondering what's going to happen to head coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane.
The Bills' season ended Saturday night in a brutal 33-30 loss in overtime to the Denver Broncos.
There was more at fault in that game than just McDermott or Beane, but the failure to win the biggest games has questions being asked.

The Athletic's Tim Graham was asked on X on Sunday morning what he knew about the situation, and his answer might be telling:
"I suppose everything is on the table and precious few know what (owner) Terry Pegula will do. I’ve tried lately, and nobody in the organization has been willing to tell me if McDermott or Beane is safe. Would be pretty simple to lower that temperature if management wanted to."
That's a fair point from Graham.

Reporters pursue information like this all the time. If McDermott and Beane weren't on the hot seat, the sources Graham had would likely share that with him. It would ease that side of tensions.
But by not offering any reassurances, it points to a potential change or two on the horizon.
The Bills can't really afford to keep letting Josh Allen's prime come up short of a Lombardi Trophy.
Change might be the only way for Buffalo to get over the hump.
