‘Brady wasn’t done, however. Later in his story was a caption that read, “New England all the way this time!!! Buffalo is going down!” That, of course, was Brady making light of Marc Miller, a die hard Buffalo Bills fan.’

Bills playoff scenarios coming into focus
‘The Bills will play at the Texans, unless the following happens: The Chiefs lose next week AND the Texans win next week. In that case, they would open up at Kansas City.’
Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White tells Patriots QB Tom Brady to ‘chill’ on Instagram

Bills vs. Patriots was NFL Network’s most-watched exclusive game in 3 years
‘The Bills game, and the 49ers vs. Rams that aired on NFL Network following the Bills, rank as the NFL Network’s second and third most-watched Saturday games overall behind the Cowboys vs. Saints in 2009.’
Allen: Tough schedule provides ‘valuable experience’ ahead of playoffs
‘“If you look at it, the three teams we played the last three weeks are all playoff type teams,” quarterback Josh Allen said. “Getting those experiences against these defenses, teams we might be able to see again, it’s all valuable experience because playing meaningful games in December is something not many people are doing right now. It feels good to be in the situation that we’re in, but again we didn’t do a good enough job today of winning a football game.”’
Eric Wood | 5 observations on the Bills as they prepare to close the 2019 regular season
‘The Bills didn’t run the ball efficiently enough yesterday putting themselves in too many 2nd-and-9’s or 10’s, even some loss yardage plays. There were also a number of penalties at terrible times after important first downs that backed them up. If you put yourself in a 1st-and-20 or a 2nd-and-22, those situations are mostly likely too difficult to overcome against a defense like the Patriots that allows 4.5 yards per play.’
Bills Today | NFL.com analyst labels Bills a dark-horse title contender
‘With the Bills’ straightforward defensive approach in mind, opponents are challenged to win their matchups against an emerging superstar on the island (Tre’Davious White) and a monster in the middle (Tremaine Edmunds). When you combine Jordan Phillips’ breakout season as an interior sack artist (9.5 sacks) with the timely contributions of Shaq Lawson (6.5), Ed Oliver (5) and Jerry Hughes (4.5) as complementary pass rushers, the Bills are the blue-collar defense that can feast on aggressive opponents who get careless with the football.’
Bills beating Patriots something simply not meant to be
‘”You can’t come in here and be close,” defensive tackle Jordan Phillips said. “You either got to blow them out or that is going to happen.”‘
With division dreams dead, Bills should use Week 17 for rest
‘That’s true, but you also don’t want any key contributors hurt in a meaningless game. There is no reason Josh Allen should see the field. Or Devin Singletary. Or John Brown, Cole Beasley, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, Tre’Davious White or as many others as possible. Rest, and the avoidance of potential injury, is more important than anything that might happen on the field against the Jets.’
Josh Allen’s deep passing touch almost carried Bills to victory
‘“As far as the fourth-down play, they brought zero coverage, and I tried to make a play and just give somebody a chance,” Allen said. “But when we get down there, we’ve got to get it in the end zone, there’s no doubt about that. That’s on my shoulders, and there’s things I could have done differently throughout the game, especially early on, taking some early completions and just finding a way to get in tune and get in rhythm early on in the game.”’
Bills fall 15 yards short in the end vs. Patriots
‘Belichick is 35-7 vs. Buffalo, and the Pats are 16-2 vs. the Bills at Gillette Stadium. Sean McDermott is 0-6 vs. Bill Belichick.’
Bills’ defense has rare bad day, resulting in loss to Pats
‘It was the short stuff that hurt Buffalo. Two of New England’s four longest plays were screens to running back Rex Burkhead. Another one, a 30-yard connection to Julian Edelman, came on a short completion with most of the damage being done after the catch. Of the Patriots’ 10 longest plays, eight of them were completions. Every one of them is listed in the game’s official stats pack as being short passes.’
Bills have No. 5 seed, but here are the scenarios for playoff opponent
‘The Kansas City Chiefs (10-4) need to win out against the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Chargers to secure the third seed, but could move to No. 2 if they win out and the Patriots (12-3) lose to the Miami Dolphins. If Houston and Kansas City finish with the same record, the Texans would be the third seed by virtue of a 31-24 win in Week 6.’
Once again, the Patriots prevail over the Bills, a never-ending tale of woe
‘“It’s frustrating,” the 36-year-old team leader said following Buffalo’s latest loss to the Patriots, a 24-17 decision Saturday night at Gillette Stadium which officially ended the race for the AFC East division title as New England won it for the 11th year in a row. In turn, this locks Buffalo into the wild-card as the fifth seed with all signs pointing to a visit to Houston in the first round of the postseason.’
