Inside the Bills:
As we profiled on Buffalobills.com late last week, Bryan Scott was handing off a pair of Super Bowl tickets to the person that best displayed their passion as part of his ‘Show your Dedication’ contest on his twitter account. Here’s Bryan handing off his Super Bowl tickets to Sunday’s game to winner and Bemus Point, NY native Lauren Kendrick, age 12.
For Kendrick, a devoted ballerina, Super Bowl XLVI was the first pro football game she ever attended in person. She also donated the $5,000 in prize money back to her dance studio.

Should the Buffalo Bills franchise tag Stevie Johnson?
Jimmy KraftThe consensus among most Buffalo Bills fans is that they believe Stevie Johnson is a key to the team’s future.

Bills re-sign Lindell; Metzelaars back as coach
The Buffalo Bills have re-signed kicker Rian Lindell. And there's another familiar face returning to Buffalo after the team hired former star Pete Metzelaars to be their tight ends coach.
Going back to the 4-3 defense is a good move for the Buffalo Bills.
Recently one of my friends asked me my thoughts on the Buffalo Bills going back to playing a 4-3 defense rather than the 3-4 system they had implemented. For the football lingo impaired, a 4-3 means there are four linemen and three linebackers, as opposed to the 3-4 which has three linemen and four linebackers. Anyway, back to the question, I told him I thought the Bills should...
