Bills players, GM Brandon Beane support coach Sean McDermott

‘”I think Sean acknowledged that. I went into the team meeting yesterday, I think he talked to [the media] first, went into the team meeting and I thought it was very authentic. I thought the guys all saw that, felt that, and know Sean for who he is. I think you guys that have been around here some years know who Sean’s character is. I’ll stand by his character every day of the week.”‘

McDermott: Focus is key coming out of bye week against Chiefs

‘”They’ve played well at times, maybe not as productive as people would expect them to, but when you look at games they’re in every game. Again credit to Patrick Mahomes and Coach Reid and their ability to come back even when they’ve fallen behind and the few games they have.”‘

McDermott: Article detailing controversial 9/11 comments was ‘an attack on my character’

‘”It was clearly, to me, an attack on my character, and that’s important to me, as much — if not more — than wins and losses,” he said. “Wins and losses are important. What’s important to me, from day one, is how you handle yourself. It doesn’t mean I’ve been perfect. It doesn’t mean I haven’t been without flaw. But what’s most important to myself, my family and kids, is that I handle this job the right way.”‘

Inside the Bills: A unique view on what makes Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes similar – and different

‘“I think it’s pretty cool,” Allen said of the friendship he’s formed with Mahomes. “Everyone knows we golf a little bit together and he still owes me something for that Wyoming-Texas Tech game, so we’ll figure that out soon. He’s one of the best quarterbacks at the position, really, to ever play the game already at such a young age for him. He’s already accomplished so much in his career and I can’t help but respect a guy like that. He’s an even better person off the field.”’

‘“People want to say it’s the skill players,” said Buechele, referring to the fact the Chiefs have a wide receiver corps by committee since trading Tyreek Hill two years ago. “But I don’t think that’s the case. He’s doing a really good job of getting the ball out quick and accurately. When you’re accurate on check downs, you get YAC. Those guys have a lot of run after the catch.”’

Sean McDermott offers clarification for reported 9/11 speech at 2019 training camp

‘“My intent in the meeting that day was to discuss the importance of communication and being on the same page with the team,” McDermott said. “I regretted mentioning 9/11 in my message that day and I immediately apologized to the team. Not only was 9/11 a horrific event in our country’s history, but a day that I lost a good family friend.”’
