Kyle deserves to lead this team out of the tunnel for the last time in his career. Sorry Roscoe, nice punt returner and all but Kyle is a legend!

And then last week when he handed off the running of the Defense’s meetings to Edmunds. McDermott will really miss him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Kyle will probably never read this but in case he does.... Thank you Kyle Williams for being one of the few bright spots on this team for so long. I am sad to see you retire, but am glad you got to at least experience one playoff game after such a long career here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hadn't even scored a single offensive touchdown against NE since McD took over until that last minute garbage timer Sunday. 4 games without a TD! ? What did I expect? With NE reeling from two straight losses I expected the Bills to be able to be competitive with a division rival. You know, like the Dolphins always are once a year at least. But what was really surprising was how disinterested/lethargic the Pats seemed and yet how easily they blew the "deer in headlights" Bills out. That simply should not have happened. You want to call that butt hurt........yeah my guess is you take the losses a lot harder than me. It's all entertainment to me but I call it as I see it.

The longest drafted player is ..................hold on to your hat....................................G John Miller in the 2015 draft. After Miller leaves it will be Shaq Lawson from the 2016 draft.

billsfan89 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I am glad Kyle is looking to get out at age 35, he has had a significant amount of injury issues and playing deep into your 30's can take its toll. Kyle has also collected on a big contract so its not like he needs the money. I hope he enjoys retirement. It was so great to see him end the drought and come back to try and be the glue for a young defense. Even through his last season was a losing season he had a good year and certainly helped lay the foundation for the defense and the culture of the new regime. Really always loved Kyle, he was almost always a bright spot for a team with so few bright spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Sadly, this may provide McDermott with the rationale he needs when drafting defense in the 1st round next year... Though we desperately need offensive help, I just have this feeling that as a defensive minded coach he was already planning on drafting that way before KW retired, so this might just cement his decision.

Jauron "almost won" LOL is that what we aspire to? Jauron had like 5 years too. you seem really upset for someone who takes losses like a big boy. The Bills are close to last place in the division, the Pats first in the division. The Pats were at home and needed to win while the Bills were in Christmas mode with nothing to play for other than pride. So one team is clearly better, playing at home and with something to play for and then you get surprised when they win handily. That is just silly. I saw exactly what I expected to see and it had no impact on my day. Edited December 29, 2018 by mattynh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Thanks for the memories Kyle, especially this one: New Year's eve 2017 - A long awaited day of elation in my Bills memory bank...Kyle's TD... then the end of drought celebration with Kyle hoisting his boys after Dalton's TD pass. And this one was well earned over your career. 12/30/2108 - The winds of change - Kyle retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I do think this team is headed for great things, and wish he could be part of that. At least he did get a playoff game, unlike guys like Schobel. Thank you, Kyle. An absolutely outstanding career and you will always be remembered for your effort and tenacity during an otherwise tough time for the Bills. Best of luck in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Damn, I was really hoping he would come back for one more season. God Bless You, Kyle Williams. You have been a great Buffalo Bill. We appreciate all you have done for the team, and we all wish you the very best in the next chapter of your life. Sad that you had to endure a lot of losing seasons with this team, but you gave us a great present on New Year's Eve of 2017 that will go down as the greatest New Year's Eve for all Bills fans. I can't wait to see your name on the Bills Wall of Fame. You will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
