Jim Kelly’s prayers to walk daughter down the aisle have come true

‘Kelly’s daughter Erin is getting married this weekend, and his wife Jill shared this video of the two practicing their dance on her Facebook page. She wrote, “I can’t help but be overwhelmed with gratitude and awe. While Jim was going through his cancer battle he prayed daily to be able to live to walk his daughters down the aisle. The oldest will do that in two days.”‘

Bills fire OC Rick Dennison

‘The Bills will be looking for their fourth offensive coordinator in as many seasons after the firing of Greg Roman, departure of Anthony Lynn to the Charges and now firing of Dennison.’

Potential candidates to join Bills as OC

‘Of the difficulty of not knowing who the quarterback will be and the kind of OC he’d potentially look for, said McDermott, “at the end of the day, good coaches are good teachers and so that’s where you start and you really take it from there.”’

Bills fire Rick Dennison

‘The numbers in 2017 were not pretty. The Bills were 29th overall in yards on offense and 31st in passing yards. The team did have the 6th ranked rush game.’

Bills Today: GM Beane on salary cap situation

‘The Bills are currently $38 million under the cap, according to overthecap.com. That’s the 13th highest in the NFL. However, the team has almost $19 million in dead money on the books for 2018. That’s the most in the league.’

Voice of the Fan: Trust the progress

‘The true heroism of the McDermott/Beane combo platter, however, is in the degree of genuine hope versus generic hype that they have instilled into the fan base; by accomplishment versus manufacturing. The team doesn’t need to craft hope for the 2018 season out of whole jersey and promotional campaigns; it should evolve organically out of an enjoyable winning season and the sweet taste of the playoffs in their first year.’

Bills’ decent performance on defense belied the ugly rankings

‘It will be ignored because the Bills finished 9-7 and ended their playoff drought, but McDermott and coordinator Leslie Frazier’s first Buffalo defense was statistically worse across the board than either of Ryan’s units. In 2017, the Bills’ defense ranked 26th in yards allowed, 29th in rushing yards allowed, 20th in passing yards, 30th in first downs allowed, and 31st in sacks per attempt.’

Buffalo Bills offseason 2018: Who should stay and who should go?

‘”No matter what our record was, whether we won the Super Bowl or whether we didn’t win a game, was we know we have to get younger in a lot of positions,” Beane said this week. “Again, it takes time, but we’re going to look at every avenue from the draft to free agency to guys on the street. We’re going to do what we can to get better at each position.”‘

Football Friday: 5 thoughts on the Buffalo Bills

‘By all accounts, quarterback Nathan Peterman is a pretty good dude. But I’m a little worried about him going forward. Is the NFL spotlight too bright for him? In his first game, in case you forgot, he threw five interceptions. But in his couple of snaps in Jacksonville, he showed some similar signs. He appeared to panic a bit and make mistakes. On his first snap vs. Jacksonville, he scrambled and got a first down in a tough situation, but did lose the ball. Then he had an intentional ground call which was, possibly a little questionable, but it was still called. Then there was his interception which, while possibly a pass interference by Jalen Ramsey, was still picked off. Deserving of another chance, but a little more nervous than prior.’
