‘The next steps for Allen and the Bills are more important than the events of the past week. Wisely, Pegula invited Allen to be in the room when ownership and management interview each candidate. He earned a seat at the table, and his opinion matters. The job isn’t one of the most attractive in recent memory without him. Nobody is more important to Buffalo’s success than Allen.’

Five players on offense for Bills fans to watch at the 2026 Senior Bowl
‘A Georgia native, Hurst spent two seasons at Valdosta State before transferring to Georgia State in 2024. He handled the transition well, becoming the leading receiver at Georgia State for each of his two seasons there. Hurst even set the Georgia State single-season record for touchdown receptions, with nine in 2024. Hurst (6-3, 185) provides size, speed and a knack for big plays to teams scouting him.’
My View: Games at the old Rockpile were rough-and-ready experiences
‘I remember parking in a residential neighborhood and making the long walk to the entrance since there were no parking lots. Eventually we started parking on a resident’s front lawn that was much closer for a mere $1.50. Gameday became a big payday for many of the locals. I don’t remember any tailgating, but do remember fans walking through the turnstiles with full cases of beer.’

Philip Rivers ‘under serious consideration’ for Bills’ head coaching job
‘“Sounds like in the interview process, he crushed it. And I know he has been just a high-school coach, but he’s basically been a head coach and essentially a play-caller on every team he’s been in over the last decade or so. Philip Rivers has a strong connection around the league of veteran coaches, guys like [former Colts and Panthers coach] Frank Reich would be one, guys like [49ers assistant] Gus Bradley another. He could pull an impressive staff. This is certainly one to keep an eye on.”’

General manager Brandon Beane is staying on and has been named president of football operations, giving him greater power, including oversight of the coaching staff. That’s an interesting development, considering there were some inarguable roster deficiencies this season.”‘

Bills complete seventh interview for head coach opening
‘Realistically, Rivers makes the most sense as some type of offensive assistant. He has no NFL coaching experience whatsoever, but showed plenty of poise, returning to the gridiron after four seasons off. Rivers has 18 years of experience under center and is considered one of the more cerebral signal callers in the game, but it would be ridiculous to hand the reins to somebody whose coaching experience tops out at the high school level.’
