Inside the Bills: Rookie contributions paint rosy picture for future

‘“The foundation of what Brandon Beane is doing here, coach Sean McDermott is doing here … seeing this team really formulating for the future, and seeing these future leaders, it’s just really awesome,” Jones said. “I’m so grateful to be a part of it, because there’s something special here. … It’s a new team, a new vibe, it’s a new energy, and I’m absolutely in love with it.”’

Sabres pulling for Bills — even as they face off right at kickoff

‘”We feel like we’re kind of one big team because of Terry and Kim. We root for each other,” Girgensons said. “It’s nice to see the Bills accomplish something like that. All the best to them. I really think if they can stop the run, they’ll be good.”‘

Kim Pegula had playoff tickets to give away and the pleas were awesome

‘The pleas that came in ranged from adorable to desperate, but all showed the passion of Bills fans — and strong GIF game by the Bills Mafia. She had given away the tickets within two hours but then moved on to field passes. Here are some of the tweets looking to be the lucky ones to get the tickets.’

Bills fans everywhere weigh in on the end of The Drought

‘“Dad, why do you keep watching their games when they lose all the time?” This was something my then 7-year-old daughter asked me in the midst of a 4-12 season back in 2010. I often joke that my display of fandom for the Bills to my children week in and week out, teaching them to cheer the team on with me no matter the result, is in part a character-building exercise. To teach them to never give up, to always keep the faith and believe there’s a better day coming.’

Andrew Galarneau: The Bills make me wanna eat

‘But if the opportunity presented itself and I had the right company, that unicorn-rare combination of designated driver and trauma counselor, here’s where I’d go, and what comfort food I’d soothe my nerves with as history unfolds.’

Here’s how the Bills can beat the Jaguars in the AFC wild-card game

‘The Jaguars are a mediocre run defense, even with such a dominant front line that includes Marcell Dareus, Calais Campbell, and Malik Jackson, and playmaking linebackers like Paul Posluszny, Myles Jack, and Telvin Smith. Marcus Murphy and Mike Tolbert will probably share the rushing load, and it will be imperative for the Bills’ offensive line to get the job done because, unlike McCoy, neither of those two are going to be able to gain many yards on their own if the line breaks down.’

Livonia grad Bill Schuster draws Bills-Jaguars playoff game

‘Schuster, 59 and in his 18th season as an NFL official, worked his first game on Sept. 3, 2000 in Cleveland when the Browns hosted the Jacksonville Jaguars coached then by Tom Coughlin. Coughlin, a Waterloo native and two-time Super Bowl champion as coach of the New York Giants, is now executive vice president of football operations for the Jaguars.’

Will Shady be ready for Jags?

‘“The good thing about adversity and this team is that we’ve proved to be able to stay focused through the midst of whatever happens,” Taylor said. “We want the best for Shady. If he’s healthy, we want him absolutely to be out there playing and giving us his all. He’s a special playmaker; you miss him if he’s not out there, but at the same time, we can’t use it as an excuse. We’ll pick him up if he’s not out there.’

How Doug Marrone handled the noise leading up to game against Buffalo Bills

‘”I’m going to shoot everyone straight,” Marrone said. “This stuff happened so long ago, ok, there’s obviously been a lot of stuff out there. That stuff is done, over. I can’t put it any simpler than that. I’m not going to take away my primary responsibility to look back on a situation that occurred three years ago. If I do that, I shouldn’t be the coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.”‘
