‘The thing about Sunday night’s loss in Kansas City to the Chiefs that has me feeling the worst is thinking about the opportunity the Bills let slip through their fingers. The opportunity to host the Cincinnati Bengals for the AFC Championship Game was right there, just 13 seconds away.’

‘We should be talking about one of the greatest single game performances by a Bills quarterback in franchise history. After Josh Allen’s second go ahead touchdown pass inside the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, I was trying to figure out the exact place to build the statue of him.’

‘After running the ball so well for the last several weeks, the Bills could not really get anything going on the ground outside of Josh Allen runs. He was their leading rusher and had the most carries. Devin Singletary and Isaiah McKenzie were the only other players to run with the ball, and they combined for just 13 carries for 41 yards, averaging just 3.15 yards per carry.’

‘As wild as it may sound with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes as the two starting quarterbacks, the team that runs the ball better in this game, especially if they can really control the game with their running game, will have a great shot to win.’

‘After the Giants officially announced Schoen as their new general manager on Friday, the team has also conducted interviews with both Bills coordinators. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was interviewed by the Giants on Friday night, while defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier was interviewed Saturday morning.’

‘“We know that we are a good team, and we know that they are a good team, defending AFC champs,” McDermott said with Sal Capaccio and “Sneaky Joe” DiBiase. “Andy Reid has good football teams, and you expect to see them in the playoffs.”’

‘Schoen was hired by Bills general manager Brandon Beane to be the team’s assistant general manager shortly after he took over in 2017, and has remained in the same role with the Bills for the past five seasons. Schoen had been the director of player personnel for the Miami Dolphins from 2014 to 2017.’

‘Daboll and Frazier are not the only coaches the Giants are targeting. Team owner John Mara reportedly has reached out directly to former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores.’

‘In a video directed at Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas was at LC’s Barbecue, offering up some of the city’s famous barbecue.’

‘The Bills held a walk-through session on Thursday, but Addison was listed a limited participant with a shoulder injury he suffered in last Saturday night’s AFC Wild Card win over the New England Patriots.’

‘”It’s been exciting,” said owner of Taps on Main in Downtown Kansas City, Grant Tower. “It’s different this year than I’ve seen it. It feels like there’s a legitimate rivalry between the two, and I think that’s what we all kind of hoped for once Josh started taking off last year. You can see genuine feelings of rivalry from the Kansas City people with regards to the Bills, and that’s really cool to see.”‘

‘”I think that they’re ready to do it,” Warner said when he joined “Schopp and the Bulldog” on Thursday. “They’re going to have to play a good game, because I think the Chiefs are in a better spot now than when they played earlier in the year.”‘

‘”They are the Mecca of the AFC. That’s the team that everyone aspires to be,” Allen said during his weekly meeting with the Buffalo media. “To be in three AFC Championships in a row and two Super Bowls in a row, that’s the type of level we want to be. In order to be the best, you have to beat the best.”‘

‘Addison was listed as a limited participant with a shoulder injury he suffered in Saturday’s 47-17 AFC Wild Card Wound win over the New England Patriots.’

‘The Washington Football Team quarterback, who is going to be a free agent this offseason, proved himself as a man of the people on Saturday after he was spotted in the stands at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park. He withstood frigid cold temperatures to cheer on the Bills with his kids during their 47-17 Wild Card Round route of the New England Patriots.’
