‘From 1966-69, the Cowboys: Finished first in the regular season all four times. … Went 10-3-1, 9-5, 12-2 and 11-2-1. … Finished first, sixth, first and second in points scored. … Finished fourth, sixth, second and fourth in fewest points allowed. … Didn’t reach a Super Bowl.’

My View: Bills as playoff failures? Don't brand them that way
‘I am no sports analyst, but I will not accept branding the Bills as playoff failures. Our brains are wired for storytelling and seek to transform single moments of chance − a ball slipping through fingers, a single yard short − into larger systematic problems. We can fall prey to the representativeness heuristic, where a few dramatic moments overshadow consistent success. But the numbers tell a different tale, as evidenced by five consecutive division titles. The Bills haven’t failed; they’ve crafted a team and culture that consistently plays for the highest stakes. Despite heartbreaking losses, there is always a response of encouragement and renewed determination.’
Bills rookie class review: 2024 draft picks slowed by injuries, fall short of expectations
‘The primary issue with Coleman coming into the draft was the question of whether he’d be able to win on his routes in the NFL. The Bills knew gaining separation would be a problem and it was. One of the ways Coleman overcame that against weaker competition in college was his contested catch ability, but that did not translate in year one.’
Ravens fans come to the rescue of Bills' Dalton Kincaid after dropped pass in title game

Bills need to get more out of their top draft picks
‘It was a fitting end to a night when the Bills got very little from their recent first-round draft picks. Josh Allen threw 34 passes Sunday evening and eight of them targeted the Bills’ last two top picks: the second-year tight end Kincaid and rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman. Those passes amounted to just three catches for 25 yards. Coleman had another catch that didn’t count after an accepted defensive penalty, but the point stands. It was hardly the kind of playoff output any Bills fan hoped for back when this roster came together in the offseason and you wondered how this revamped group of pass-catchers would fit.’

Execs Want Hailee Steinfeld’s Fiance Josh Allen in ‘Big Movies’: NFL Star ‘Has the Total Package’

Bills emphasize plan to 'kick down the door' to get past Chiefs
‘”… We’re going to continue to turn over every rock, every stone. But again, the last five years, this team, counting playoffs, has averaged 13 to 14 wins. So, I do want to make sure we balance the scale here, even though we have not gotten to the big game yet. We’re going to keep fighting, and I’m determined we’ll get there.”‘
Chiefs Player Says Defense Knew Josh Allen's Tendencies on QB Sneak Play

‘Executives believe Allen has the “A-list” look and charisma to make the jump from Buffalo to the big screen, and his relationship with actress Hailee Steinfeld only adds to the buzz. With her impressive crossover career herself in both movies and music, she’s already well established in the industry. The duo seems like a perfect match in the entertainment world.’
Bills head coach Sean McDermott knew refs would be a problem in AFC Championship Game vs Chiefs
‘“We went into the game and one of my messages to the team, and this happens from time to time, is… you’re not going to get calls,” McDermott said in his end of season press conference. “We’re not going to get calls. And I think just when you prepare a team, you prepare them ahead of time, mentally, for this is the way it’s going down. And you live with that. That’s not the reason why we lost. You start looking at that, you lose sight of all the things, all the adjustments you can make as a team, or as a person, coach, player, what have you to improve who we are and how we do things.”‘
'The fire burns deep within' | Sean McDermott evaluates the 2024 season and shares why he's confident in 2025
‘”Good season, came up a little bit short and that feeling never goes away,” McDermott said of Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. “I know some people say it goes away, at least for me it doesn’t ever go away until you get to a spot where you can say, ‘Hey we were the best in the world.’ And that is a lofty goal but it’s our goal every season…we were just short of it this year in terms of a couple plays here and there and that’s what happens in the playoffs, every play gets magnified.”‘

'Keep kicking the door': Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane 'not giving in' to Kansas City Chiefs
‘“I’ve heard it told to me by multiple people that have been in this league longer than I have: Keep kicking the door. Keep kicking the door and you’re going to knock it down,” Beane said Thursday. “And that is my mentality; that is our mentality. We are not giving in, we’re not.”’
Despite bitter end to the season, Sean McDermott praises Joe Brady's first full year as Bills' OC
‘Not surprisingly, McDermott started with plenty of praise for Brady, 35, who directed the No. 2 scoring offense in the regular season. His motto of “everybody eats” led to 13 different players catching a touchdown pass, tying an NFL record. The Bills became the first team in NFL history to record at least 30 rushing and 30 passing touchdowns in the same season.’
