Two Bills Drive

‘“Before the game, I kind of tried to get my mind right,” he said of how he continued to play while injured. “I know I’m going to be hurting a little bit, so it’s just kind of one of those things where I’m just like, I ain’t going to say the word, but in my head, I’m just like (expletive) it. That’s how it is. That’s exactly how I feel for every play.”’

‘Just how much more a season-ticket holder will pay depends on the location of the seat. According to the team, 1 percent of the seats in New Era Field will see an increase of 10 percent or more. A total of 65 percent of seats saw an increase of between $1 and $3 per game. As an example, the cheapest ticket went from $33 to $35 per game, an increase of 6 percent.’

‘“I think Ken’s got, No. 1: Great experience from winning a national championship as a player,” App State coach Eliah Drinkwitz told The News. “He coached Cam Newton to the Super Bowl and an MVP season with the Carolina Panthers. So not only has he done it at the highest level, he’s coached other people to do it.”’

‘A spokesman for PSE said Tuesday that the organization has been “impressed” by the amount of fan interest, and that it will continue to solicit involvement in “many different ways,” but did not have any more details. A spokesman for CAA ICON did not respond to a request for comment. The Bills’ lease agreement with Erie County to play in Orchard Park expires in 2023.’

‘Beane’s letter reiterated many of the talking points that he has referenced in his two years on the job. The long-term plan, Beane wrote to ticket holders, involves building through the draft, pointing to the 10 picks the team has in April. He also said that the team’s salary cap situation is much improved from where it has been the past two years, which will allow the Bills to be players in free agency. Beane cautioned, though, that the team will be “calculated” with those free agent moves.’

‘Dorsey’s hiring will be an important one for second-year quarterback Josh Allen — the key to the franchise’s on-field future.’

‘The New England Patriots are going to look quite a bit different in 2019. A whopping 18 members of the team are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in March. New England is projected by spotrac.com to have just the 23rd-most salary-cap space next season, $16.63 million. That puts the Buffalo Bills in a situation in which they can potentially poach a player or two from their divisional rival, similar to what the Patriots have done in the past with players such as Chris Hogan, Mike Gillislee and Stephon Gilmore.’

‘Yet, if Jan. 31, 1993 is one of a seemingly bottomless bucket of days Bills fans would love to forget, it would ultimately prove to be a watershed moment, for both the King of Pop and the NFL’s conception of what might constitute a proper Super Bowl halftime show. From this point on, subtlety would not be on the table. Nor would marching bands, for the most part.’
