There are never going to be happy campers in an NFL locker room after the team gets eliminated from playoff contention. That was the case for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

With their 35-25 loss to the Washington Redskins in Week 15, the Bills can no longer make the postseason, extending the franchise's drought to 16 years. Coach Rex Ryan stepped up and told reporters "drastic changes" will be made, but he also said he feels personally responsible for the team's struggles this season.

Star receiver Sammy Watkins called for more accountability, mainly from himself and his teammates.

Here's part of Watkins' lengthy rant, via Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo News.

Watkins went on to tell reporters it has to be a player-driven team, and the coaches can't make plays for them. Watkins' second season was marred by injuries and a lack of targets from Tyrod Taylor, but he still managed to rack up 827 yards and nine touchdowns in just 11 games.

Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, Watkins told reporters he doesn't expect his teammates to quit. After that, it could be a long offseason in Buffalo.
