✕ INCORRECT

Buffalo will decline sharply in 2024 and have a new leadership regime in 2025.

First call: Aug 23, 2024, 10:06 AM ET · Deadline: Sep 8, 2025, 12:00 AM ET · Historical archive

THE ORIGINAL TAKE
“They are going to drop off big time and a new regime will be in there next year.”
OPEN THE ORIGINAL POST ↗

What we’re scoring

Retain the compound decline-and-new-regime wording. The unchanged head coach/general manager leadership conclusively contradicts the new-regime part without inventing a decline metric. Earlier general wording reconciles the existing later-source key; later named-person or percentage wording remains a linked revision rather than another loss.

The ruling

Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane returned for their ninth season together in 2025.
