‘If the Bills want to run the ball more effectively, and we know they do, finding a mix of five men up-front that can have more success in the run game would be important. This Bills team struggled to run the ball all that effectively this season.’

‘T.J. Yeldon will be a free agent. He’s actually the exact type of running back they need going forward, but someone who’s younger and more dynamic.’

‘Trubisky gives the Bills one big upgrade over Barkley – mobility.’

‘The biggest question at the quarterback position facing the Bills this offseason is whether or not to pay Josh Allen now, or wait another year.’

‘”We’ll have to be very sharp on each move. Every dime we spend we have to make sure we spend it wisely. And then the onus is on us to have a really strong draft. Our personnel department knows that, I know that, and we can’t fail there.”‘

‘”It was a learning experience all along, and as the stakes were raised, the stress-level was raised. Hopefully Josh Allen doesn’t get it, hopefully [Stefon] Diggs. Any of these guys that really could impact what we do an offense or defense or whatever. You’re praying to the good Lord that the guys can avoid it.”’

‘”Next year is a new year,” Beane said. “Nothing we did will matter when we start this offseason or start [training] camp. Every team is built up of new players, so we’ll have to hit the reset button. We’ve got a lot of work to do to try and get this thing going and build a team that can earn its way back to where we were, and hopefully further.”‘

‘”It’s just not one answer that solves that problem. We all have to, starting with me, continue to ask ourselves the hard questions of the what ifs, and the whys and the hows. We, as a staff, have to get better and improve. We have to improve our roster. We have to improve our operation in what we do.”‘

‘It comes down to two things: Cap space and other, more important needs.’

‘The disappointing part was the performance of the Bills offense and the coaching.’

‘I don’t think most of us got to a place where we thought about the season ending, and what it would look like, and what it would feel like. Especially not the way it did – with a team that just didn’t look the same as what we’ve seen most of the season. A team that seemingly coached not to lose instead of being aggressive to give them more of a chance to win. A team that couldn’t execute on offense at nearly the same level they had for most of the season. An MVP-caliber quarterback who looked uncomfortable at times, and wide receivers who couldn’t get open like they have for most of the last 18 games.’

‘But, in the end, they came up just a bit short against a team where there’s little to no margin for error.’

‘Kelce was seemingly uncovered all night. The tight end finished with a game-high 13 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns, with nine of those grabs coming in the first half. Hill, who also managed to find open space time and time again throughout the game, caught nine passes for a game-high 172 yards.’

‘The Bills quarterback just looked really uncomfortable all night, not seeing the field well and not reacting to what the Chiefs were doing defensively, causing him to hold on to the ball too long at times, as well. Allen’s final stat line read 28-for-48 (58%) for 287 yards, a pair of touchdowns and one interception. He also ran 7 times for 88 yards. Allen has been sensational this season, but it was not a good night for the QB.’

‘Both players are now eligible to be active for the game, but there is still no guarantee either will be. Stills is most likely insurance in case wide receiver Gabriel Davis can’t play due to his ankle injury. Davis missed two days of practice this week, then was limited on Friday and officially listed as “questionable” for the game.’
