‘“That’s an emphasis around here, setting the tone with the energy,” said Bills special teams coordinator Heath Farwell. “Sometimes, even if we tackle them at the 22-yard line, you may gain three yards versus a touchback. But the energy that it brings off the sideline is one of the cooler things, seeing the defensive guys coming off the sidelines or our offensive guys high-fiving our players because they know it’s a huge play to get the ball rolling.”’

Ex-Bills RB LeSean McCoy admits career ‘might be over’ if Bucs win Super Bowl

Sammy Watkins says time with Chiefs has changed me-first mindset he had with Bills
‘”I think early in my career, I wasn’t like that. I was that guy that I wanted the ball. Even if we were losing, I wanted the ball every time. And I’m not saying I’m not like that, but I know how to control that. I’m older now and understand the team goals and what we’re trying to do and what type of team I’m on.”‘

Erik Brady: Pete Gogolak’s departure from Bills kick-started Super Bowl era
‘“Nothing wrong with that, it was an average kind of salary. But I was the second-leading scorer in the league (in 1964), so I asked for $20,000. And they offered me $13,000,” he says. “So being kind of a hardheaded Hungarian, you know, I played out my option. That meant I had to take a 10-percent cut. So instead of $11,000, I had to play for $9,900” in 1965.’
Buffalo Bills need to find answers on offensive line to improve 2021 running game

Wyoming changed Bills QB Allen — Part 3
‘He is that rare breed of talent and humility many superstars like to talk about being but aren’t. When you’ve done everything the hard way, it’s necessary to savor the moments that wind up getting you to the top, even if it’s just those times where you end up waiting in line at a fast food truck.’

How the Bills can find cap space for 2021
‘It’s not really Beane’s fault. The pandemic shorted the NFL a large chunk of revenue this season. That will cause the salary cap to decline instead of increase for the only the second time in the cap’s 27 year history. Almost every team is dealing with some sort of issues for 2021.’

Bills Today | One step the Bills can take to represent the AFC in Super Bowl LVI
‘The four-year ascent accomplished by coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane could be taught at Team Building University. My “one thing” the Bills needed to do last year to make the Super Bowl was make life easier for QB Josh Allen, and they succeeded beyond anyone’s dreams, nearly making the big game. Now it’s time to clean up the defensively oriented McDermott’s side of the ball. There isn’t a pass rusher to be excited about. The secondary is missing at least one cornerback, and linebacker Matt Milano is about to be a free agent. With an explosive offense in great shape long-term, the best way to make Allen’s life easier now is to find more defensive difference-makers to slow down the Chiefs, especially up front.’
