McDermott still preparing as normal for struggling Patriots
‘Despite all of this, Bills head coach Sean McDermott feels Patriots head coach Bill Belichick still deserves respect because of his elite game planning abilities. “They’ve had the success they’ve had over the years in part because of him,” said McDermott on Friday in his weekly appearance during the “Extra Point Show” on WGR. “He’s a brilliant coach, a great planner in terms of getting his team ready to play every week, and a little bit of a different approach with different game plans based on what the opponent does best. I just have respect for him and the wins, and Super Bowls he’s been able to win over the years.”‘

Inside the Bills: Why team’s offensive captains take issue with recent criticism of Ken Dorsey
‘“All of it is,” the quarterback said when asked if any of the criticism of Dorsey is misguided. “Nobody knows what’s going on in between walls here. Nobody knows the reads that we have in the quarterback room. Nobody knows the blocking schemes that we’re putting in the offensive line room. Again, it comes down to us executing and making sure that I’m on task and making sure that I’m trying to guide this offense in the right way. Making sure I’m making good decisions. It starts with me, so that’s No. 1.”’
PlayAction Column: Bill Belichick has earned right to fix Patriots’ problems

‘It looks like edge rusher Josh Uche may miss the game or be very limited with an ankle injury. The top edge rusher, Matthew Judon, is out. This is a big problem for New England. Josh Allen should be able to get the possession passing game going. I think the pass needs to open up the run a bit this week because New England has beefy defensive linemen. Bills control the game but I’ll give the Pats a backdoor cover with a late score. Bills, 27-19.’
