The Buffalo sports media really dropped the ball. They seemed to miss all the signs that McDermott was in trouble and then were completely shocked that he was fired for years of playoff failure. They often castigate the national media for not knowing the facts on the ground like local reporters. But it was the national media who were the least surprised by this. This is definitely an instance of the local media being too close to the situation to objectively see what is happening.
Not shocked. The way Buffalo media works is they trash national guys and say don’t listen to them but then they’ll recite everything they say because they are waiting for Boyko to text them. They have zero sources except him and refuse to cultivate sources with other players or agents.
