‘“I thought the last couple of weeks, in those two postseason games you really started seeing the Cole who was here before,” Bills General Manager Brandon Beane said. “This offense is similar, but it’s not exactly the same, so there was a little bit of nuance there from that standpoint of the route combinations versus exactly what he left from when (former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll) was here.”’

Anything but normal
‘”Good teams are able to bounce back from a lot of things, but this was harder than previous years,” Hyde said during a telephone interview prior to coming to Fostoria to participate in a program on Thursday at Fostoria Junior/Senior High School. “Just with injuries to key players on this team, the weather situation that we had at Thanksgiving when we had to get out of here the week before Thanksgiving and go play Cleveland in Detroit and then we went back to Detroit the next week for that week’s game, then on top of that, the schedule this year was insane.

‘Last year’s playoff appearance felt much more like a circumstantial derailment, caused largely by poor coaching decisions, on the way to a Lombardi Trophy rather than a journey that had no hope of completion.
