What’s changed the attitude in Buffalo? The Bills’ expecation to win – no matter the opponent or situation

‘“I think that’s part of changing the mindset as we continue to establish a culture here in Buffalo of that being more than norm is expecting to have success,” said McDermott about his team’s reaction on Sunday night. “If we do things right during the week and respect the process leading up to the game that instead of hoping, wishing to win, that we expect to win. We certainly respect every opponent going into the game but our players, give them a lot of credit, they’ve established that.”’

These 2019 Bills have more in common with the Patriots than you think

‘Belichick likes to say that toughness comes from running the ball, stopping the run, and covering kicks and, by that definition, the Bills — at 10-4, a game behind the Patriots — play like a tough team. They’re fifth in rushing, 10th in run defense and 13th in kick coverage. They’re resilient, they can play in the cold, and Josh Allen’s four comeback wins are tied with the Seahawks’ Russell Wilson for the most in the NFL this year.’

‘”This is as good a group as we see,” said Josh McDaniels on Monday. “They don’t give up, they don’t make mistakes because they’re extremely well-coached. They’re very good at all three levels, they’ve got really good players at all three levels. They do not give up big plays, they make you drive the ball. They’re very good on third down and in the red zone. They create long-yardage situations with penetration and disruptive plays by their front and their pressures are difficult to handle, and they do a good job of calling them at the right time. They’re fast, they’re very disruptive up front, their linebackers are fast, their secondary is extremely good when the ball is in the air. You’ve got to be very careful. You can’t make mistakes around them.”‘

‘“I mean this is where we this is, when we came to Buffalo, one of the things we wanted to do was to challenge and to do it every year, sustained success, and I think that this is an opportunity that our players have earned,” the head coach said. “We have a great amount of respect for the Patriots. Very well coached team, disciplined football team, with a lot of talent and so, it’s an opportunity for us to continue to compete and to take another step as a football team.”’
