For your morning coffee enjoyment, me and @AdamBenigni recorded our latest podcast as the #Bills ponder some decisions on the eve of the scouting combine. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

A pre-combine look at some mock drafts indicate what we all know: The #Bills need help on defense. Here's a sampling of what mock drafters think, though I'm not all that jazzed up about some of these guys. www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

I looked at a few of the early mock drafts, which in itself is silly at this point. But I wanted to get a sense of what people are thinking for the #Bills. Here are a few picks, with my thoughts, and I'm not crazy about most of them: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

As they always do now, the #Bills have salary cap issues to deal with, so even though the offensive line was very good in 2024, it may take a hit. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Here's my case for why the #Bills should stay far away from the price James Cook believes he's worth: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

About to join my buddy Sal Capaccio on WGR to talk about the #Bills and #Yankees. Give us a listen

The 2024 season did not go well for Dalton Kincaid, and that has to change in 2025 for the #Bills 2023 first-round pick. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Josh Allen calls him a 'tough sucker,' but the #Bills need this player to step up in 2025: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Tyler Bass is certainly a polarizing kicker, but he had a better year for the #Bills than you may think. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

It looks like the #Bills have found their new special teams coach. Here's who he is, and where he's been: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Can the #Bills ever get to a point where they build a defense as dominant as the one the #Eagles just crushed the #Chiefs with? They need to if they want to play in the Super Bowl. Here's my column: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Well, the #Bills now have a defensive blueprint on how to beat the #Chiefs. Can they copy the #Eagles success? Here's my column: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Despite Sean McDermott's vote of confidence, the #Bills fired special teams coach Matthew Smiley. Here are my thoughts on this: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Well, I thought I'd be in New Orleans today, doing my morning walk down maybe in the French Quarter. Instead, I shoveled snow and did by morning walk around my neighborhood with Springsteen keeping me company. Oh well

Here's my updated story on the passing of former #Bills coach Dick Jauron, with quotes from Marv Levy and longtime assistant Bills coach Chuck Lester: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Dick Jauron, who coached the Bills for 3 1/2 of the drought years, has died at age 74. Here's my look back at his career: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Here's today's pod as @AdamBenigni and I discuss Josh Allen as MVP, Damar Hamlin sub, and the Myles Garrett trade chances. Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5j1u...

Josh Allen was the right choice for NFL MVP: This is the case that I've laid out, though I doubt it will quell some of the misguided anger over the decision: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Josh Allen winning MVP was awesome and well deserved. Now, it's about time the #Bills get him some help on defense if they hope to win the ultimate prize and the D-line is a great place to start. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Well, that’s a very nice surprise. Josh deserved it. Well done.

The #Bills made some good personnel moves in 2024, but Brandon Beane wasn't perfect. Here five that I did not like:www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Here's my look back at seven personnel decisions the #Bills got right in 2024. www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Started a two-part series examining the best and worst personnel moves the #Bills made in 2024. We'll start today with the good: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Should the #Bills try to trade for Browns superstar edge rusher Myles Garrett? Of course they should. Here's my column: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Browns superstar edge rusher asks for trade: Why the #Bills should try to acquire him and what they could offer: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

The #Bills are obviously frustrated by their inability to reach, let alone win, a Super Bowl. The #Chiefs are in the way, but the Bills also know they are close, and they are optimistic and confident that their day will come. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Keon Coleman's injury definitely set him back. That said, he has a lot of work to do in the offseason to improve. Here's my review of Coleman and the #Bills 2024 rookie draft pick: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Amari Cooper came to the #Bills with high expectations, but was the least-used WR in final games. What happened here? www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Amari Cooper came to the #Bills with high expectations, but he never really found his footing and his production was underwhelming. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Looking back at the #Bills outside free agent signings: A few hits, some significant whiffs in 2024. Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Yeah, you're wrong. Catch the ball

The book is not closed on Josh Allen's legacy despite another crushing loss to the Chiefs. Anyone saying this was a legacy game? Please. Here's my column: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

It's a streak the #Bills would like to forget: Five straight playoff losses and in each, their defense played poorly: Here's my story: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Regardless of what you may have heard by listening to people who don't know what they're talking about, last night's loss was not some legacy game for Josh Allen. Here's my column: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

And now the glorious news on the way home from Kansas City. My flight from Dulles is delayed at least several hours. It’s truly diabolical how this shit never stops happening

Here's our pod from last night, me and @AdamBenigni recapping another gut punch of a loss for the Bills: Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0rvt...

A crushing night for the #Bills, no doubt. Here’s my report card from very late last night. www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

Here's my :Bills report card: www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports...

I'm gonna write a lot of words tonight - already have - but it's really a bitch to have to write about another loss to this god damn team. Just being honest with you. There was no excuse for this. The Bills played poorly in the biggest game, again.

An utterly sickening loss for the Bills.

The Bills line has been great all year, but it got destroyed on that play. Allen had no chance but to heave it up, and still, it should have been a first down. It's just sickening how the Chiefs always escape

Dalton Kincaid, ball in his arms, drops it. Unbelievable. Line caved to a five-man rush, and then the first round pick fails.

Fourth-and-5. Whatever their best play is, they'd better use it here

For the first time tonight, the Bills hold in the red zone and the Chiefs will have to settle for a field goal. Here's Buffalo's chance, right here, right now

Curtis Samuel gets open in the back of the end zone, Allen rips it in there on fourth down. Stones man.

What an awful call, a fade to Coleman who can't get any separation.

Bills need to score pretty soon here because if not, the Chiefs are gonna have the last possession in this game
