When the Buffalo Bills hired Sean McDermott to right the ship and take over a team enduring a strenuous 17-year playoff drought, they expected a culture change. That phrase is thrown around a lot in professional sports and not often followed through but already the vibe in Orchard Park is changing for the better.

Around this time one year ago, Buffalo fans were greeted with their head coach Rex Ryan boasting at the podium about how the team had “won the offseason.”

When Ryan made those comments, Bills fans had expected to see a great product on the field but were greeted by chaos. The talent was there but the execution was hindered by confusion.

This year couldn’t be different.

Before wrapping up the third and final day of minicamp, Coach McDermott met with the media to discuss what he saw, how his team has looked, and his thoughts moving forward.

The line that resonates most is something McDermott said near the end of today’s media availability.

I don’t know if we won the offseason. I’m not into that. I’m into the process.

He’s “into the process”.

This is what Buffalo fans have truly wanted. They don’t want a loud mouth, publicity stunt performing coach to be running their team he turned into a circus with a side of playoff drought; Bills fans want stability and foundation. They want results.

McDermott’s comments should be a sign to Buffalo fans that things are changing and changing drastically.

The player’s attitudes are changing, the faith is rising, and Bills fans should be ready to expect something different this year and years to come. It’s no longer the time of “winning the offseason” because it’s time to win something the matters for Buffalo, games.

It’s no longer the time of “winning the offseason” in Buffalo. It’s time to win something the matters, games.
