The Buffalo Bills began the season as one of the favorites to contend for a Super Bowl title, but it’s safe to say it’s been a rather disappointing season so far as the team heads into its bye week with just a 6-6 record. But head coach Sean McDermott still believes in his team.

During his postgame press conference after the team’s 37-34 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Sean McDermott acknowledged that his team played well despite the loss and that he believes in the Bills going forward.

“This is the league we are in,” McDermott said according to Pro Football Talk. “We came in here, fought our [tails] off. We didn’t make enough [plays]. We didn’t do enough or make enough plays and do enough on the coaching end.

“At the end of the day, there is a tough group of guys in that locker room. A tough group of coaches. We are a good football team and just came out on the short end here. There are no moral victories. Each and every one of us has to look at ourselves. Like I told you, that starts with me. That is what you do. That is what the best do, and I know our football team is a darn good football team.”

The Bills have now lost three of their last four games and are in danger of missing the postseason if they don’t improve down the stretch.
