‘The defense harassed former Bill Ryan Fitzpatrick all day. The blitzes were too much for Miami’s offensive line to handle and the Bills sacked Fitzpatrick seven times. They held the Dolphins running game to just 23 yards on 13 carries.’

‘Brown continued his outstanding season, and getting an Arrow Up ever single week from me. He had his third-highest catch total in a game with 9 and his third-most yards with 137. He scored 2 TDs. Brown was a problem for the Dolphins secondary all afternoon and Allen did a great job of targeting him as much as he could. He had the second-most targets of his career with 14 balls thrown to him.’

‘Simply put, the Bills offense just hasn’t scored enough points, and last week against the Cleveland Browns it finally came back to bite them.’

‘”All of us together, coaches and players, let’s do what we’ve got to do, do it how we normally do it and be decisive. It’s not getting to playing hesitant. When you play this game, because it is an aggressive game, it’s a contact sport – if you hesitate, you lose in most situations. So, I want our team playing fast, playing physical and playing aggressive with great decisiveness and clarity around what’s expected on each play in their roles, in particular.”‘

‘“He came to the building and was working out with Jamal,” White explained when asked how the relationship began, referring to former Tiger and current Jets safety Jamal Adams. “I needed some work, so I just jumped in. The relationship started from there and it’s been strong ever since. I owe him a lot for the success I’m having because of the way he trained me even before the draft, before the senior bowl, and then obviously after the draft going into camp. I’ve been training with him for the last 4-5 years. It’s been good.”’

‘Buffalo and Pittsburgh are scheduled to face-off Week 15 which will be crucial in the race for a Wild Card spot. Having the head to head tie-breaker is important but the Steelers dropping another game helps the chances that it won’t need to come down to that.’

‘“Coach sat us all down today and said, ‘play fearless,’ Allen said. “So to have that green light, and that confidence from him still, that means a lot. Not saying I’m going go out there and be reckless, those are two different terms for a reason. Just being very aware of what’s going on but not trying to be gun-shy about anything.”’

‘Although many parts of Allen’s play has raised serious doubts about him as the Bills face of the franchise, this week’s matchup is still a reminder that between Allen and the fan-preferred Rosen, Buffalo made the right call.’

‘The offense can’t sleepwalk through four quarters for a second straight game.’

‘This is the first time the Bills will play on a Saturday, that isn’t Christmas Eve, since falling to the Broncos on December 17th, 2005. Since then, the Bills have played three times on on Christmas Eve Saturday, most recently in 2016 against Miami.’

‘“We were in a two-minute play, we wanted to get it to our best ‘gotta have it’ type of play that we have,” Daboll said of huddling. “We ran it earlier in the game. We threw it to Dawson [Knox] on a little under route, where he picked it up on third-and-two. And you know, on this play, they played blitz zero and failed to connect.”’

‘Much of the conversation surrounding the game was the Bills mismanagement of the clock on the final drive. Bills safety Micah Hyde didn’t back away from questions about the sequence. Here’s what Hyde had to say on the last drive.’

‘The third quarter has not been kind for the Bills this season, and this game was no different for the offense as it, once again, failed to score in the third quarter.’

‘The coach is 1-of-12 in two-and-a-half years throwing the challenge flag, the offense has been consistently bad regardless of the quarterback or scheme, and the quarterback can’t hit a throw further than 20 yards down field.’

‘The Bills have decided to lean on their passing game and it is spotty, at best. They passed 41 times in this game, and the top-two running backs combined for just 14 carries in a game against the 30th-ranked run defense. Even though it’s clear the Bills are more pass based, the lack of carries for Devin Singletary is puzzling. He was productive in a limited role with 42 yards on eight carries. That’s eight carries out of 62 offensive plays.’
