After such a promising start to the season, the Buffalo Bills look like they’re going to be missing the playoffs for the 17th straight season. Rex Ryan was supposed to build the Bills into a legitimate playoff contender, but now it looks like his job is in jeopardy.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier this week that the Bills are expecting to part ways with Ryan after the season is over. Although Ryan denied it, Schefter tends to be one of the more reliable NFL insiders out there, so this report sounds pretty legit.

Ryan and the Bills have been the definition of average in their nearly two seasons together, going 15-15. The Bills got their seventh win last week over the winless Cleveland Browns, and now they’ll have a chance to get an eighth win against a Miami Dolphins team that’s without Ryan Tannehill.

Losing Matt Moore would be embarrassing enough this week, but it could also be the last straw for Ryan.
