‘”I just have no idea what the future holds right now” he said. “I’m going to sit down and maybe in a couple of weeks or something and talk to the wife and talk to the family. But we’ll see. I’m in no rush at all right now.”‘

Upon Further Review: Sense of shock hangs over Bills' sudden end to season
‘The Bills rushed and passed for at least 180 yards, had no turnovers or sacks, had less than 30 penalty yards, possessed the ball for more than 35 minutes and had five separate drives of 10-plus plays. No other team in the Super Bowl era had done that in the same game – in the regular season or playoffs. So the Bills made history – and still lost.’
Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde play every snap in possible Bills' curtain call
‘Both Poyer and Hyde played all 50 defensive snaps in Sunday’s 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Highmark Stadium in a divisional-round playoff game. They were two of five defensive players for the Bills to be on the field for every snap, joining cornerbacks Dane Jackson, Rasul Douglas and Taron Johnson. Linebacker A.J. Klein missed just one snap after rolling his ankle in the third quarter, chasing after Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.’
Position grades: Josh Allen's efficiency exceeded only by that of Patrick Mahomes
‘Too bad for Allen that he completed only two passes that traveled more than 8 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. The Bills probably needed just one more on a night when their defense was getting dominated by the K.C. offense.’
Josh Allen, Bills offense voice support for interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady
‘“I think just the fact that, again, we ran the ball extremely well, stuck to that,” Allen said. “I think got back to some simpler concepts. Did simple better with him. And I think, again, didn’t have his entire touch and his entire flair on this system. So, I know if that’s the route that we went, there’d be a little bit of change in terms of systematically what we would be doing, which I’m hoping for, and having some good talks with him. And just seeing what could be, it does get me excited.”’
Micah Hyde will take time to decide on his Bills future
‘“We’ll see,” Hyde said. “My options are open. I love this organization. I love everything we were able to accomplish. I woke up this morning and I saw the light. I reflected and thought of all the memories we’ve had around here. Yeah, we came up short yesterday, and all that. But that doesn’t take away from all the things we accomplished over the years.”’
Ryan O'Halloran: If this Bills group breaks through, you will enjoy it even more
‘Trouble sleeping Sunday night after getting home from the game or turning off your television? The Bills feel your pain and frustration. Still thinking about it Monday morning after going to class or the office? Ditto.’
Alan Pergament: CBS' Nantz, Romo find right words for another classic Bills playoff loss to Chiefs
‘“Wide right,” said Nantz. “The two worst words in Buffalo have surfaced again.”’
Bills face uphill battle in 2024 as salary cap, roster decisions loom
‘Having blown this opportunity, just like they blew it in 2022 when they lost at home in the divisional round to the Bengals, it’s pretty tough to make the argument that Buffalo’s Super Bowl window is still open because it’s simply not true. Even with superstar quarterback Josh Allen at the helm, it’s closed for at least the foreseeable future.
Someday: Bills fans despondent following loss to Chiefs in divisional round
‘Wheret my seats were, I had a bad angle to see if the ball went through the uprights. Bills fans were collectively holding their breath as the pigskin faded to the right — no good. Bass missed it wide right. One fan next to me said, “Wide right again?” We were all in disbelief. When the lights were the brightest, the Bills failed again. Back to the drawing board.’
Bills grapple with another disappointing playoff exit and the uncertain future that awaits
‘“Every year when you lose, you wake up the next day and you’re filled with so much frustration because you weren’t able to get it done,” Bills safety Micah Hyde said. “I feel like I could have done more, but this morning I woke up and I’m just like, ‘Wow, like that was a run.’ That was an amazing run we went on and I’m forever grateful for this team, their hard work, the resilience that they showed.”’
Bills believe Super Bowl is still within reach despite the sting of another Chiefs loss
‘“People are going to say what they’re going to say,” the Bills tight end said. “People were saying we were 6-6 and had not shot of making the playoffs and here we are in the second round. It’s about proving the naysayers wrong. The ultimate goal is the Super Bowl … but to make it this far, I say it’s a win.”’

‘It would have been a magical moment — had it not gone so horribly wrong.’
Don’t feel bad for Josh Allen — he owns four properties worth a combined $12M
‘The quarterback owns two properties in California and two in New York, conveniently located near the Bills’ Highmark Stadium. They’re worth a combined $12 million.’
Rex Ryan ‘would not be shocked’ if Bills fire Sean McDermott for Bill Belichick
‘“This is the craziest thing. This might be the spot where Bill Belichick goes,” Ryan said Monday on ESPN’s “DiPietro & Rothenberg Show.”’
