‘Daboll found himself fielding interest this year for head coach vacancies because of his ability to create a prolific offense in Buffalo, fueled largely by the leaps and bounds progression from quarterback Josh Allen, but is now expected to stay put with the Bills, barring an unexpected turn of some sort with the Houston Texans in their search for a new head coach. Needless to say, this pleases Beasley greatly because while he wants what’s best for Daboll, he also wants what’s best for a Buffalo offense that ranked No. 2 in the league this season.’

Offseason blueprint for Bills to take next step in 2021: Free agent targets, mock draft selections and more
‘The Brown release may seem surprising, but after the 2020 he endured with injuries and limited production, at his age (31 in April), it would hardly come as a shock. Yes, Brown did usher in the new, offensive-driven Bills in 2019, but the reduced salary cap makes it much more difficult for Buffalo to keep him on the roster in 2021.’
McDermott: Bills will learn from AFC Championship Game experience
‘”It’s just not one answer that solves that problem. We all have to, starting with me, continue to ask ourselves the hard questions of the what ifs, and the whys and the hows. We, as a staff, have to get better and improve. We have to improve our roster. We have to improve our operation in what we do.”‘

McDermott ready to turn the page as Bills “start over”
‘”You have to take that growth mindset approach because to think, well, we won 15 games and lost four, well, we’re perfect. No, we’re not, and even if we were, you need to take the growth-mindset approach. That’s what you do when you’re a winner and that’s what you do when you’re hungry to be the best. That’s what we’re going to continue to do as long as I’m the head coach here, you’ve got to do that.”’

Bills players reflect on special 2020 season
‘“We have a lot to be proud of. To come in, do the things we were able to accomplish, to do it without an offseason, to do it with a lot of new guys, a lot of new pieces, not having those OTA’s to be able to gel and get the reps and continuity going,” Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White said. “What we did is an amazing thing. It’s something to be proud of.’
Josh Allen’s growth in year three was the Bills’ biggest win this season
‘“I believe that it’s certainly a benchmark or or a landmark to where we’ve gotten beyond now and I think that speaks well for the future of this organization moving forward. There’s not a lot of teams that can answer that question and say yes we have our quarterback. I can tell you Josh Allen is a very good quarterback and one we can win with for years to come,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Tuesday.’
4 Notable Quotes: Sean McDermott
‘“The one before half I really felt like morale was a big piece to that they had momentum they were getting the ball after half as well and I felt like we needed to come away with points at that one. Even though sometimes analytics may say one thing, whether it said it or not on our chart, I think there’s a human element to the game at the end of the day and I felt like we needed to come away with points.”‘
From the Producer’s Desk: Bills Offseason
‘Today we will start on the offensive side of the ball. The first is a no-brainer and one which I believe Brandon Beane will take care of sooner than later, signing quarterback Josh Allen to a mega contract to keep him here for the foreseeable future. This is a must do and most people would agree, but this will take up a good portion of the Bills cap space and some big decisions will need to be made, especially on the defensive side of the ball. (I will get to the defense tomorrow).’
McDermott ponders third quarter field goal decision against Chiefs: ‘I’m kicking myself a little bit’

Sean McDermott supports Josh Allen’s statement: ‘I proved now that they didn’t make a mistake by drafting me’
‘I’ve been so focused on trying to do my job for the Bills, and whatever happens happens. Obviously, I’m not stressing about it. I’m just… trying to be the best, best quarterback for this team, and we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”‘
A touching moment: Bills fan scatters dad’s ashes during the AFC Championship game
‘”I knelt down and opened up a necklace that I had around my neck for the last year that had about half a capsule of some of my dad’s ashes, so I let him out into the seat next to me so that he was physically there, but I also wanted to make sure before I left that stadium that I did that so he can be a season-ticket holder for eternity,” Kimmick said.’
McDermott says deep run won’t provide shortcut for 2021
