Bills OC Joe Brady: It feels like Dalton Kincaid lived here this offseason
The Bills' 2024 season ended when tight end Dalton Kincaid couldn't reel in a pass from Josh Allen in the AFC Championship Game and General Manager Brandon Beane said a short time later that Kincaid 'didn't have the year that he expected or we expected.' Beane went on to say that Kincaid has 'to continue to work on his play strength' after dealing with injuries over the course of the year and it appears that Kincaid took those words to heart. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady was asked about what he's seen from Kincaid at a Tuesday press conference and he said there's been both quality and quantity for the tight end. 'I feel like he lived here this offseason . . . credit to him in the weight room and working with the medical team. Looks like Dalton Kincaid,' Brady said, via Dan Fetes of WHAM. A return to rookie form would be a welcome development for Kincaid and the Bills as they try to get over the hump this season.

Bills Hopes Pinned On One Key Weapon Not Named 'Josh Allen'
Bills Hopes Pinned On One Key Weapon Not Named 'Josh Allen' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills will enter the 2025 season with perhaps their best chance at Super Bowl glory in recent memory, and it won't all fall on Josh Allen's shoulders. Advertisement With several key defensive additions to bolster the pass rush, along with the signing of receiver Josh Palmer, the Bills have upgraded at multiple positions without losing any key players aside from Mack Hollins and Amari Cooper. However, Buffalo's ability to finally break through its playoff ceiling might not be down to the new additions to the team, but rather the ones already on it. For Jeffri Chadiha, the bounce-back ability of young tight end Dalton Kincaid is crucial to the Bills' proposed success in 2025. "There were high expectations for Kincaid after he produced 73 receptions as a rookie in 2023," Chadiha writes. "But last year wasn't nearly as much fun for him. There were plenty of questions about Kincaid's slippage, but it seems that health played a role in that, as the tight end dealt with a collarbone injury and injuries to both knees. Advertisement "The Bills have been trying to get over the hump -- by that, we mean the Kansas City Chiefs -- in the AFC for the last five years. Kincaid becoming a dominant weapon is something this team definitely needs to see happen." Jan 26, 2025; Kansas City, MO, USA; Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (86) is helped up by wide receiver Mack Hollins (13) after dropping a pass in the fourth quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs during the AFC Championship game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn ImagesMark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images After an impressive rookie season (673 yards, two touchdowns, 73 receptions in 16 regular-season games), injuries and poor form played a big role in 448 yards, two touchdowns, and 44 receptions from 13 games last season. To think how potent Buffalo's offense was last year without Kincaid firing, if the tight end can put his poor 2024 behind him and continue his ascension in 2025, then he might just be the missing piece to the Bills' playoff hopes. Advertisement Granted, it won't be all down to Kincaid's form resurgence, but having him improve on his 2024 output is another thread Allen and coordinator Joe Brady can pull at in 2025. Is Kincaid the Bills' missing Super Bowl link? We don't think so, but having him in form at the pointy end of the season wouldn't hurt.

How to feed hummingbirds the right way, according to experts
There's something so exquisite about hummingbirds that makes them a joy to behold when you spot them in your yard. It's a treat to take in this tiny bird's beauty and unique ability to fly backward and hoover mid-air. Apart from bringing us joy, they make terrific pollinators and eat a surprising amount of insects for their small size. And with all the energy they exert with their acrobatics, they need to consume a calorie-rich diet to help them go about their good work. To help you discover how to feed hummingbirds the right way, I've called on the experts for their top tips and advice. Hummingbirds are the smallest of all birds, with the bee hummingbird (native to Cuba) being the baby of the pack, measuring 2.2 inches long, and weighing a tiny 1.95g. In contrast, according to Birds and Blooms, the blue-throated hummingbird is almost the size of a sparrow and is the largest breeding hummingbird found in the U.S. "Hummingbirds are incredible to watch with their tiny bodies able to hover, fly backward, and even upside down, as well as showing incredible behaviors like intense territoriality and intricate courtship displays," says Maria Kincaid, head ornithologist at FeatherSnap. "It's no wonder we're interested in having them in our backyards."Hummingbirds also perform many beneficial tasks in our yards "by acting as pollinators to our nectar-producing flowering plants, and snacking on small insects that are often considered pests, like aphids, mosquitos, and fruit flies, among others," Kincaid adds. While hummingbirds play their part in nature, Kincaid says we can too. "Hovering and flying as fast as hummingbirds do — ruby-throated hummingbirds beat their wings about 53 times per second on average, and some species move at up to 70 per second — takes a lot of energy, so food is an incredibly important resource for them."Hummingbirds love to feed from tubular flowers, so planting bee balms, coral honeysuckle, and cardinal flowers in your yard are perfect choices. And Kincaid also says they're "particularly attracted to red tubular flowers, which may have coevolved with them. They're also attracted to orange and pink, but will also forage on flowers of other colors from time to time." Apart from relying on native resources, you can also support hummingbirds by providing food. Kincaids says: "Feeders filled with sugar water provide a quick burst of energy when native nectar sources are low, either because they've consumed them all or they're migrating.' But she warns, to "never use honey, syrups, artificial sweeteners, or food colorings, as these can be harmful to hummingbirds." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Dan DeBaun, bird blogger at Dan's Bird Bites, says it's easy to make hummingbird nectar at home. "Mix one part table sugar with four parts water. For example, mix 1/4 a cup of sugar with one cup of water." You'll need to boil the water before adding and dissolving the sugar, and DeBaun also recommends only using table sugar for the nectar. Kincaid advises to "make sure you bring the nectar to room temperature before filling your feeder and store any that doesn't go into your feeder right away in the refrigerator for up to a week." But once you start to feed hummingbirds in your yard, don't forget to refill and clean your feeder, with Kincaid advising to clean and refill your feeder every 1-2 days when the temperatures are warm. "Hummingbird nectar spoils quickly, and ingesting moldy, spoiled, or fermented nectar can also be harmful to your hummingbirds," she says, but "be aware that sugar syrup will also attract other birds, like orioles and woodpeckers, [though] also will attract pests like ants and bees." This hummingbird feeder takes the style of a vintage bottle with a brushed copper base, with four decorative feeding ports. It can accommodate multiple hummingbirds in one go, and the bottle can be easily removed from the base for cleaning. It will hold up to 10oz of nectar. There are plenty of hummingbird feeders on the market, but Kincaid recommends using one with a nectar reservoir that flows down into multiple feeding pots, as "it makes it easy to see how much nectar is left, that it's still clear, and that no pests have made it into the reservoir." "Hummingbirds find their food by sight, so it may take them some time to find your feeder and then a little more time to decide it's a safe spot to stop for a snack," says Kincaid. "I like to put my hummingbird feeder near flowers and a few feet away from potential shelter, like a tree, bush or brush pile. This gives them more security as they visit for a nectar break," says DeBaun. Therefore, a shady, open area near flowering plants, especially tubular varieties, will be perfect. But your feeder also needs to be easy for you to remove, clean, and refill, so make sure it's at a reachable height without having to resort to using a ladder. Kincaid also explains that hummingbirds can be territorial, especially around breeding season, and suggests hanging several feeders if your yard has the capacity.
