‘It’s hard to overstate just how important Levi Wallace’s emergence was for the Buffalo Bills’ defense in 2018.’

Jay Skurski’s Bills Mailbag: Should the team bring in Thomas Davis?
‘In general, signing a 35-year-old linebacker in free agency isn’t something I’d usually be that interested in, but Davis still played at a high level last year in his 14th season. He finished 18th in Pro Football Focus’ rankings of 57 linebackers who played at least 50 percent of the defensive snaps, making 79 tackles and six passes defensed. He would provide the Bills veteran depth, but if he’s looking for a starting role, he likely won’t find it in Buffalo, unless Alexander leaves.’
One-on-One Coverage: For Marv Levy, Bills’ four Super Bowl losses ‘still hurt’
‘There are times when I’m on a plane and I let my mind flow and I keep thinking, what I might have done differently in this situation or that situation. But I’ll remember the good.

Cut him or keep him: What should the Bills do with LeSean McCoy?
‘“He is part of our plan,” Beane said at his New Year’s Eve press conference. “I think if we can improve in other areas, that will help LeSean. Early in the year, our pass game was not very good. You could see it. Teams were focused on, ‘All right, if we stop 25, this team isn’t going to go far.’ While we did improve our pass game, our run game stayed stagnant for a lot of the year. Again, LeSean will come back in 2019 and we’ll go from there. I’m not a believer that LeSean is done.”’
Fan Mailbag: Is Adam Gase to the Jets good for the Bills?
‘I do see it as beneficial to the Bills, just because it’s a new coach starting over in New York. It’s very hard to get all the ducks in a row and win consistently that first season. Now Gase was able to do that in his first season in Miami, when the Dolphins made the playoffs, but things fell apart after that.’
