Alan Pergament: Rick Jeanneret suggests his future is up to Sabres; Buffalo Bills primed to get some night games
‘The biggest loser locally could be WIVB-TV (Channel 4), the local CBS affiliate that usually gets the largest share of revenue-producing Bills games. The Bills are likely to get four or five prime-time games, which means they won’t be airing on Channel 4 since the prime-time packages are on WGRZ-TV’s network, NBC, WKBW-TV’s network ABC and ESPN and the streaming service Amazon Prime. It remains to be seen which local channel gets the broadcast rights to Amazon’s Thursday night package.’

Bills Today | NFL Network believes Bills Mafia deserves the primetime spotlight in 2021
‘”This is going to be about who deserves it, who should be there, and I’ll get going on this and I’ll start with the Buffalo Bills,” Hanzus said. “Who are so fun to watch, especially on offense with Josh Allen coming off an MVP level season. Then think about this and we know with the COVID-19 restrictions, you see it in MLB and the NBA, we’re starting to get more fans back in the arenas and the stadiums. I wonder if there’s going to be full houses in the NFL, imagine up there in Buffalo and Western New York just going nuts for a Bills team as fun as this. So, throw the Bills in there with their high-scoring offense, Josh Allen and all his magic and then a full house in Buffalo, put that under the lights.”‘

‘”I’m gonna start off with that very first one, the AFC Championship Game,” Robinson said. “When you talk about the Buffalo Bills – my Buffalo Bills – and the Kansas City Chiefs and you look at that game, Josh Allen got sacked four times and Patrick Mahomes went off. Tyreek Hill, they couldn’t check him, they couldn’t check Travis Kelce as well. So, you look at what Brandon Beane and those guys did in the draft, and they get Greg Rousseau and Carlos “Boogie” Basham to be able to get after the quarterback. So, I can’t wait for that rematch because I think my Buffalo Bills got something for the Kansas City Chiefs in this way around, in this matchup.”‘

Bills Mailbag: Which of Brandon Beane’s draft picks will provide the best value?
‘Plenty of draft analysts expected Boogie Basham to be a first-round pick, possibly by the Bills, so to draft him at No. 61 overall looks like pretty good value. It was a surprise that it came after the team had already drafted an edge rusher (Miami’s Greg Rousseau) in the first round, but rebuilding the defensive line and finding ways to put more pressure on the opposing quarterback was a goal this offseason of General Manager Brandon Beane. Basham has the potential to provide that.’
