Bleav in Bills

The Bills initially got off to a slow start in free agency, and then over the past couple of days have shifted things into high gear. That includes the signing of five-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Joey Bosa to a one year deal. GM Brandon Beane has largely focused on upgrading the defensive line, they've brought back safety Damar Hamlin on a one year deal, and added receiver Joshua Palmer to the offense.

All of that, on top of a new six year $330-million dollar contract for MVP Josh Allen, and extensions for key players like defensive end Greg Rousseau, linebacker Terrel Bernard, and receiver Khalil Shakir.

Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana join with takes on all of that and more.

Back in 1997, the Bills were thinking about who might eventually replace Hall of Fame defensive end Bruce Smith.   They drafted Marcellus Wiley in the second round out of Columbia that year with that possibility in mind.  Wiley eventually did that in 2000 when Smith moved on to Washington.  He wound up playing ten seasons in the NFL for the Bills, Chargers, Cowboys, and Jaguars.  He was a player that provided answers on the field, and was never at a loss for words off of it.  Not surprisingly, he went on to broadcasting success with ESPN and FS1 among other outlets.

He joined Adam and Sal to reflect on his time in Buffalo, that included the infamous Music City Miracle, and offer some strong takes on what it's going to take to get this current edition of the Bills over the top and into the Super Bowl.

The NFL Scouting Combine is in full swing in Indianapolis with the Bills and others beginning the process of change and upgrade to a roster that again fell short of the Super Bowl this season.   The AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs, and Eagles Super Bowl domination of Kansas City, again underscored the need to get bigger, heavier, and stronger on the defensive line.  Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane both spoke to the media, and among the obvious themes, was the need to get more production out of recent top draft picks Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid.

Sal Maiorana is in Indy covering the combine for the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle.  He joined Adam Benigni with takes on all of this and more.

There's no denying the fact the Bills overachieved in many ways in 2024. They very successfully transitioned the roster, absorbed the salary cap ramifications associated with that, and wound up in the AFC Championship game. Josh Allen reached a new level at the quarterback position. Having said all of that, the postseason run ended in an all too familiar way, against an all too familiar opponent. How close are the Bills to finally advancing past the Chiefs when it matters most? What changes do they need to make to get there? Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana share takes as they put a wrap on 2024.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. For all the success the Bills enjoyed this year, the Chiefs remain the postseason nemesis. Kansas City beat Buffalo 32-29 in the AFC Championship game Sunday night, as they now advance to face the Philadelphia Eagles with a chance to make history in winning a third straight Super Bowl. The Bills in the meantime fall to 0-4 in the playoffs against Kansas City in the playoffs with Sean McDermott as head coach and Josh Allen at quarterback, with many of the storylines in those losses remaining the same. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana were live with postgame reaction.

For all the success the Bills have had against the Chiefs during the regular season, we know the playoffs have been a different story. Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City are 3-0 against Buffalo when it matters most. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana discuss how that can be different in Sunday's AFC title game.

Where would you rather be than right here... right now?

Words made famous by Bills Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy. Words that are still embraced by the team and the fanbase today as they prepare to face the Chiefs in the AFC title game on Sunday. Levy was last and only head coach to lead the Bills to the Super Bowl and he of course did it four years in a row in the early 90's. Marv and his wife Fran joined Adam and Sal from their home in Chicago to share thoughts and reflect.

For the fourth time in five years, the Bills are set to face the Chiefs in the postseason. It will be the second time they've met in the AFC Championship game. Thus far, the regular season success Buffalo has enjoyed against Kansas City, hasn't translated to the postseason. Sean McDermott, Josh Allen, and the Bills are 0-3 in the playoffs against KC. Adam Benigni and Sal Maiorana share takes on how and why this time could, and in some ways, should be different.
