The Buffalo Bills are struggling through this season and have a 4-8 record and coming off an overtime loss to the Atlanta Falcons, one of the worst teams in the league. Head coach Doug Marrone is frustrated and feels like the team should be performing better, even when most considered this season to be a rebuilding year all along.

“My expectations are extremely high,” Marrone said, via the Buffalo News. “I’m very disappointed in myself, with where we are, and it starts with me.

“I’ve got to find a way to get it better because I really believe that if I come across as the head coach and don’t have those expectations, then we’ll fall short of our goals at the end. I want to make sure that we’re accountable, starting with myself, and keeping those things extremely high and keep fighting for that. We can do that.

“That’s where I’m struggling. We have players here that are capable of winning games. We have coaches here that are capable of winning games, and we’re not getting that done. That’s where I’m struggling, to get ourselves over that top and creating that consistency.”
