Don't expect a Jim Schwartz-to-Rey Ryan debacle as Jim Leonhard shifts to a 3-4, even if Leonhard comes from the Ryan tree. The #Bills have pieces to fit and some who might excel more in a new system. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/flipp...

The #Bills are going with a completely different defensive approach in hiring Jim Leonhard as new defensive coordinator. A look into what could be expected with Leonhard calling plays. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/buffa...

Adding Pete Carmichael Jr. as offensive coordinator is the latest sign Joe Brady is set to dig into his Sean Payton roots with full autonomy of the #Bills' offense. But how much change can really be expected? www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/expec...

The "alignment" between Brandon Beane and Joe Brady on their new "vision" of the #Bills seems to be a whole lot different than what we saw during the previous nine seasons. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/sabat...

A few notes from today's happenings with the #Bills: • There's no doubt every decision revolves around Josh Allen in some way. • Details on the Philip Rivers coaching interview. • Dalton Kincaid's injury and fifth-year option. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/the-b...

#Bills OL Alex Anderson on Brady: "He wants us to know that we don't have to have our assholes so tight around him all the time. We can go walk around and be our personalities."

Joe Brady confirmed in his opening remarks that he's going to continue calling plays. #Bills

Brady: Coach McDermott gave me the opportunity of a lifetime. ... The past nine years matter. ... They deserve respect. ... I love Coach McDermott. ... At the same time, we have to move forward. #Bills

#Bills players spotted at Joe Brady's introductory press conference: Josh Allen, Spencer Brown, Dalton Kincaid, DeWayne Carter, Ty Johnson, Maxwell Hairston.

The #Bills are betting on continuity by keeping Brandon Beane and Joe Brady. But they won't get any excuses in tearing down the "proverbial playoff wall" they helped build. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/perce...

In promoting Joe Brady to head coach, the #Bills are essentially telling Sean McDermott, 'It wasn't the general manager, it wasn't the scouts, it wasn't the assistant coaches and it wasn't the players. It was you.' www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/sabat...

We've agreed to terms with Joe Brady on a 5-year contract to become our next head coach!

A five-year deal for Joe Brady, per a league source. We're about to find out a whole lot about the last two years and who wanted to play that way. #Bills

We have completed an interview with LA Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase for our head coaching position. 📰: bufbills.co/CoachingTracker

Could the #Bills hitch their Super Bowl chase to a coach under 40 who has never had full command of an offense, let alone call plays? You bet. It's a growing trend in the NFL. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/could...

If the #Bills want Klint Kubiak, they should wait for him. Bigger question is whether Kubiak wants to leave. It might be late in the game to put a staff together.

Payton passed on a FG when he should have kicked and then kicked when he should have gone for it. They had no pressure plan for Stidham, couldn't run the ball and got fooled on the game-clinching play.

If Terry Pegula watched a single play of that game -- let alone the fact that New England broke through while the #Bills are still knocking on the door -- he should be doing whatever it takes to find the right coach. The Patriots coaches won that game in the fourth quarter.

Hard to tell me the #Bills didn't have a good roster by today's NFL standards.

The #Bills are keeping Josh Allen at the center of their coaching search and interviewing Philip Rivers is the latest sign. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/follo...

Brandin Cooks on Keon Coleman: I'm definitely in touch with Keon. ... I think this guy can play at a high level. ... I also think he's misunderstood. He's a young kid; he's still trying to figure it out. ... He's there at 6-7 a.m. working out, he's becoming a pro. #Bills

#Bills WR Brandin Cooks on NFL Network: Of course I would love to be back in #Buffalo. Who wouldn't want to be there and play with Josh Allen and write this story? Consistent with what he told me Sunday, but that was obviously before Sean McDermott was fired.

Two days after firing Sean McDermott for not getting to a Super Bowl, Terry Pegula claimed his new coach won't have Super Bowl-or-bust expectations. The #Bills suddenly seem like a chaotic franchise with only themselves to blame. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/sabat...

Terry Pegula aggressively defended his decision to keep Brandon Beane over Sean McDermott in his first press conference since 2020. Mostly, the #Bills owner just said whatever he wanted to say. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/terry...

Pegula: Great roster, good coaching, no Super Bowl appearance. ... Is success seven playoff appearances in a row? #Bills

Pegula says Josh Allen didn't have input on firing McDermott. Beane says he will have input on the new coach. #Bills

Pegula: the coaching staff wanted Keon Coleman. He wasn't Brandon's next choice. #Bills

Pegula says he came to the decision to fire McDermott in the locker room after losing to Denver. #Bills

Pegula: I felt like we hit the proverbial playoff wall year after year. ... I just sensed in the locker room, where do we go from here? #Bills

Beane: We have an MVP quarterback who just completed his eighth season and we have to get him to a Super Bowl. #Bills

Terry Pegula: Success over a long period of time means we're doing something right. #Bills

Sean McDermott might have won a Super Bowl with the #Bills if he was retained. Recent NFL history says he's more likely to win one somewhere else. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/sabat...

The #Bills head coaching vacancy might be the most appealing in 20 years. Who might #Buffalo be interested in pairing with Josh Allen? www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/who-m...

If one of them had to go, Sean McDermott had to be the odd man out in a tug-of-war with Brandon Beane. But the #Bills can't fumble their next coaching hire in a seemingly shallow pool of top candidates. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/sabat...

There was a disconnect between Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott, which happens when the GM and HC report separately to the owner. I'm stunned McDermott was fired. I'm not stunned Beane wasn't the one to go. #Bills

Aaron Kromer notified #Bills players during a meeting Sunday that he intends to retire. In 24 seasons as an NFL assistant, Kromer's teams have ranked first in sacks allowed three times and rushing three times. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/bills...

The #Bills didn't lose because of officiating, even if they disagree. But the NFL can't seem to figure out how to simplify the parameters of a catch, even though controversial moments happen constantly throughout the year. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/bills...

#Bills free agent-to-be A.J. Epenesa: No words have been discussed between me and the Bills. Just trying to digest everything from yesterday. ... I have a lot of love for this place, so just take it as it goes.

Shaq Thompson on coming back: I told Beane that's my first priority. But I'll definitely weigh my options because I want to start. I know I'm a starter in this league. #Bills

They also win if Allen doesn't leave that ball short. They had five turnovers on errors by a handful of their best players and lost by three. Playoff teams are 2-76 when they're -4 in turnover margin. What roster or coaching game plan is overcoming that?

Josh Allen had a chance to squash any ridiculous narratives. But he had the ball with a chance to win the game and came away empty for the third consecutive year. Allen and the #Bills have to look long and hard at that. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/sabat...

A #Bills team that held the record for consecutive games losing the turnover battle lost the turnover battle on all six of their losses. But #Buffalo found a new way to twist the knife with five turnovers against the Broncos. www.niagara-gazette.com/sports/chron...

Wait. Now it's their two best players? Before the loss was entirely on Allen. I also never said they wouldn't have scored 30 without turnovers. Man, you can't even keep it straight.

This👇

Approximately? They scored 16 off turnovers. You can put three on Allen entirely. Shakir made a bad chip that shoved Bonitto into Allen and he was blindsided. Cook fumble that led to seven. The second INT, the Broncos got the ball at their own 20.

The Bills had the ball, up 7-3 at the Denver 32 when Cook fumbled for the seventh time this season. The Broncos scored a touchdown on the next drive. What's the math there?

He was targeted 21 times in the last two games. He was by far their leader in snaps, targets, catches and yards.

I've said it to others and I'll say it here: one guy doesn't win or lose games. Allen didn't play well. That's not up for debate. But to put to placing the entire loss on one guy is a conversation to be had with the no-names on Elon Musk's app.

Why do people think Cooks is the No. 1 WR? Shakir is by far, not even close, the No. 1 receiver in targets, receptions and yards.
