Analysis: Last year, the Bills had a goal of running it back – this year, it’s not so simple

‘That process has already started. The front office conducted personnel meetings on both sides of the ball this week, following Sunday’s 42-36 loss to the Chiefs in an AFC divisional playoff game. Despite the heart-breaking nature of the defeat, Beane will need to take an objective look at his roster when deciding who to bring back. The Bills are scheduled to have 15 unrestricted free agents in March, along with two restricted free agents (Justin Zimmer and Ryan Bates) and one exclusive-rights free agent (Tyrel Dodson).’

Bills QB Josh Allen to forgo Pro Bowl

‘”The type of quarterback I am, I obtain a lot of bumps and bruises along the road of a season, so I will use this time to let my body heal.”‘

The Bills won another AFC East title, but 2021 came to a heartbreaking end

‘And so, once again, the Vince Lombardi Trophy will not be taking up residence at One Bills Drive in a year when it sure seemed like the fates were aligning and Buffalo was going to have its best chance at Super Bowl glory since Scott Norwood’s field goal sailed wide right 31 years earlier.’

He drove 6.5 hours to every Bills home game. 13 seconds won’t stop him from doing it again.

‘Do people in Virginia say he’s nuts to spend all this mileage, all this time, all this energy on a football team? “Yes,” he said. “But I don’t think they understand what Buffalo is like and who the people are. Sitting around the same people and sharing the same feeling of love for that team. It’s something you can’t get down here.” The love of the team counts a lot to Kelly, and he considers anyone who shares that love to be part of his extended family.

New Giants GM knows Bills 2022 draft board rounds 1-4

‘Of course, the Giants’ draft needs and the Bills’ draft needs may not match up well at all. Buffalo is a legitimate Super Bowl contender with few glaring holes on their roster while the Giants are looking to rebuild their roster into a contender in the NFC.’

Bills’ Josh Allen declines invite to 2022 NFL Pro Bowl: ‘I want to let my body rest and recover’

‘This might leave the AFC in a bit of a pickle, having to now identify another alternate, and potentially more than one. With Jackson and Allen now out, that leaves only Justin Herbert as starter with Patrick Mahomes as the only backup, but the latter is preparing to play in the AFC Championship and hopes to punch his ticket to Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium. If he does, he won’t be available for the Pro Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 6 in Las Vegas, leaving only Herbert on the roster.’

Bills QB Josh Allen declines to be an alternate in the Pro Bowl

‘Allen is passing up a sizable paycheck by skipping the game – players get $80,000 if they’re on the winning team and $40,000 if they’re on the losing team – although those game checks pale in comparison to the more than $20 million he was paid this season after signing a contract extension with the most guaranteed money in NFL history.’
