Bills need to get more out of their top draft picks
‘It was a fitting end to a night when the Bills got very little from their recent first-round draft picks. Josh Allen threw 34 passes Sunday evening and eight of them targeted the Bills’ last two top picks: the second-year tight end Kincaid and rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman. Those passes amounted to just three catches for 25 yards. Coleman had another catch that didn’t count after an accepted defensive penalty, but the point stands. It was hardly the kind of playoff output any Bills fan hoped for back when this roster came together in the offseason and you wondered how this revamped group of pass-catchers would fit.’

Bills head coach Sean McDermott knew refs would be a problem in AFC Championship Game vs Chiefs
‘“We went into the game and one of my messages to the team, and this happens from time to time, is… you’re not going to get calls,” McDermott said in his end of season press conference. “We’re not going to get calls. And I think just when you prepare a team, you prepare them ahead of time, mentally, for this is the way it’s going down. And you live with that. That’s not the reason why we lost. You start looking at that, you lose sight of all the things, all the adjustments you can make as a team, or as a person, coach, player, what have you to improve who we are and how we do things.”‘
