‘Frazier has spent the past 19 seasons coaching at the NFL level, including a three-plus year stint as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings from 2010-13.’

‘Under Carpenter, the Bills were named as the NFL’s 2014 athletic training staff of the year by the Pro Football Athletic Trainers Society and the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation.’

‘Butler spent the past four seasons in the same role with the Texans before being fired after their season ended. He previously worked as a coach at the college level and has ties to McDermott. Both grew up in the Philadelphia area and played on the same high school football team.’

‘According to the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, teams can ask for a portion of bonus money to be returned if a player retires before his contract expires. There is, however, a gray area if a player retires as a result of a career-ending injury.’

‘The revelation of the injury comes as a shock to the Bills. Following a 9-7 season, they lose an influential on- and off-field leader at a time when the team’s fortunes were looking up after ending a 17-year playoff drought, which had been the longest active streak in North America’s four major professional sports.’

‘”That was really cool, you know,” Jackson said. “We have a huge respect for each other, and sometimes the heat of the moment can get to you and you can say things you might not really mean or do things you might not really mean and be apologetic for it.”‘

‘Daboll will be the Bills’ fifth offensive coordinator in six seasons.’

‘Dennison wasn’t coach Sean McDermott’s first choice for the job last offseason — that was former San Diego Chargers coach Mike McCoy. But McCoy took the Green Bay Packers’ offensive coordinator job and was fired midseason.’

‘”We’re going to make the best decision. I’m literally going to go back and watch how he played at the beginning of the year, how he played in the middle of the year and how he played in the end. We’ll see,” Beane said Tuesday after he and coach Sean McDermott held an end-of-season news conference.’

‘Beane said the Bills have spoken to Incognito and understand their player’s side of the story of the alleged exchange that occurred during Buffalo’s 10-3 loss to the Jaguars in an AFC wild-card playoff game on Sunday. Beane confirmed some type of exchange happened but declined to get into details.’

‘”I’m just so glad I won’t have to answer: ‘How are we going to end the drought this year?'” Wood said Monday, a day after a 10-3 loss in an AFC wild-card playoff at Jacksonville. “Now it’s, we’ve got a foundation to build on. Let’s keep improving and let’s go try and win a Super Bowl.”‘

‘The Buffalo Bills’ long-awaited playoff appearance might not have been so short-lived had their coaching staff played the percentages and not a hunch in their 10-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.’

‘”I’ve been playing this game for what, 12, 13 years now,” Ngakoue said. “I’ve never encountered nothing like that.”‘

‘This was far from a passing clinic. It was more like a painful exercise in overcoming poor passing.’

‘”I wanted to win this game and get it rolling. I don’t care about the building blocks,” running back LeSean McCoy said. “I live now in the moment. We had this thing.”‘
