‘”It’s still Belichick. You know they got Cam. He was the MVP a few years back. It’s still respect even though they haven’t been playing as well as they want to be. We know they are going to bring their ‘A’ game for us.”‘

What They’re Saying: Buffalo Bills (Patriots.com)
Bills Don’t Miss Brady In Preparing To Face Newton-Led Pats
‘Teams haven’t shied away at throwing the ball in the direction of Patriots cornerback and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore. After making a career-best six interceptions and 20 pass breakups in 2019, the 30-year-old Gilmore has just two pass breakups and one interception so far this season.’
AFC East-Leading Bills Seek To Crack Pats’ Run Of Dominance
‘The Patriots have won seven straight and are 35-5 against the Bills since Bill Belichick took over in Foxborough in 2000.’
Bills missing two defensive tackles at practice
‘As the Buffalo Bills prepare to play a game that may come down to which team runs the ball better, they were without two key defensive linemen at practice on Thursday, as Vernon Butler (groin) and Quinton Jefferson (knee) both deal with injuries.’
Real Estate lawsuit looks to push Bills star out of home purchase
‘White’s bid to purchase a 5,444-square-foot Orchard Park home is being challenged with a lawsuit by a couple who claim they already had the home under contract. Marco Cercone, the original bidder and also an attorney, says Keller Williams Buffalo Realty Northtowns continued to solicit higher bids even after entering in to an agreement. The seller disagrees.’
Feliciano excited to be back, expected to make season debut this weekend
‘”It’s been the worst injury pain-wise,” Feliciano said. “A few weeks go by and you’re working hard and you’re feeling good. Then people tell you you’re gonna start doing more things and if and when it starts hurting, you’ve gotta keep your emotions right.”‘
Feliciano ready to get started
‘“I gotta apologize to the training room and my wife because the last 7 weeks haven’t been my best,” he said on Thursday. “I owe those guys (training staff) some donuts… because they dealt with a lot.”’
Feliciano opens up about his injuries and recovery
‘The Bills guard says that he wanted to be activated off the injured reserve list weeks ago but the coaches and training staff wouldn’t allow it.’
Beasley and Bills ‘prepare for anything’ Belichick can throw at them
‘”Film study is important against a team like this,” said Cole Beasley. “Then in-game, you have to do a good job of making adjustments. It’s all a process and it doesn’t end.”‘
Report: Bills to sign LB Darron Lee
‘The former Jet and most recent Chiefs linebacker is expected to join Buffalo on Monday.’
What Stefon Diggs, Josh Allen + others said about Bills-Pats | Week 8
‘”I think it’s just a mindset change, Allen explained. “Instead of the home run first, I’m thinking of working from the bottom up instead of top down. Just little tweaks in making sure that I’m very comfortable with the game plan that we’re putting in. Letting coach Daboll know if there are any concepts that I don’t like, he’s been very gracious to take them out, and very gracious to work around what I like and what I don’t like. I also attribute that to guys getting open and going to catch the ball for me as well as the front five blocking and doing their assignments as well.”‘
Bills Today | The path to the AFC East title still goes through …
‘”You’ve got to take that title away before we can make that statement and those guys, they still have that title hanging over there in Boston so until someone takes that crown from them, we cannot yet say that,” said Jerry Hughes. “So I’m going to hold my tongue because I don’t like to put anything out there in the universe and then have to come back and eat crow so I will say that we’re going to be ready for this game.”‘
Josh Allen among NFL’s elite in interception rate since reckless loss to Patriots in 2019
‘Allen had 18 interceptions in his first 16 career games, including that loss to the Patriots. He has seven interceptions in 18 games since, not counting last year’s meaningless regular-season finale against the New York Jets, when the Bills’ playoff seeding had been determined and Allen, along with many starters, played sparingly.’
Column: The time has come for Bills to finally bury the Patriots
‘These aren’t the Patriots that turned your hopeful Bills dreams into nightmares all these years. Bill Belichick might still resemble the grim reaper, but even The Hoodie is a whole lot less daunting with Brady having taken his big-play act to Tampa Bay.’
