Buffalo Bills: Things We Know This Week

“Still the team setting the pace. Still the team that you have to chase down in the East. Still a team that is a Super Bowl contender, Yes, they have to plug some holes, but the Bills’ DNA is steeped in their roster where they believe they’re winning.” – Charles Davis

“If you want to win, do the ordinary things better than anyone else does them day in and day out.” – Chuck Noll

Fast Forward to February 28, 2023. The Buffalo Bills announce that Leslie Frazier is taking a year off from coaching. Imagine that. This announcement came on Twitter when both coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane were in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine.

“If Sean decided to take over the play-calling, I’ve seen him do it for a long time. He had great success and went against some great quarterbacks and offensive gurus. If he feels that route is best for us, I’m going to support that and have full faith he would do a great job.” –Brandon Beane

“Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence… If you’re in control, they’re in control.” – Tom Landry
