Joe B: 7 Observations from Bills - Patriots (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills came into their matchup with the New England Patriots with a head of steam. Over their past four games the Bills nearly came away with a victory in all of them, and considering the Patriots recent two-game losing streak, there was a slight hope for some competitiveness on the road. In the end, the Bills found their efforts sink with the lack of overall talent and depth that has plagued them for much of the season. When a play was needed, not a single player stepped up when the game mattered. All in all, it was a frustrating loss 24-12 loss for the Bills, as their record for the season drops to 5-10. How did it all happen? Seven observations from the loss: 1) Allen had a shaky start but settled in 2) The skill players let the Bills down repeatedly 3) How the Patriots dominated on the ground 4) Charles Clay being inactive was stark, but not out of nowhere 5) Is LeSean McCoy worth the trouble in 2019? 6) Why the Bills benched Wyatt Teller for two series 7) Kudos to the pass defense Bills MVP: SLB Lorenzo Alexander - Another high impact game for Lorenzo Alexander, who has been one of the best players for the Bills in 2018 at 35 years old. He needs to be re-signed immediately after the season ends. Bills LVP: WR Isaiah McKenzie - Eight targets, and only one reception for eight yards. There were other offenders in the passing game, but a pair of big drops and his lack of production throughout the game gets him the honors. Draft Order Update: Regardless of the Sunday and Monday night results, the Bills will finish Week 16 in a tie for 7th overall with the New York Giants. Up Next: The Bills (5-10) wrap up their season at New Era Field against the Miami Dolphins (7-8) on Sunday, December 30 at 1:00 pm. The Buffalo Bills couldn't quite make it three losses in a row for the New England Patriots, losing to the AFC East division champs 24-12, and dropping to 5-10 on the season. Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn discuss Josh Allen's slow start and his response in-game, the talent surrounding him, the LeSean McCoy conundrum, and some offseason stuff, too. Plus, the awards!

Your fingers might get tired if you respond to everything on a football board that doesn't have a kernel of truth.

I'd wait on any celebrations given the Jets' history and who cares about right now with the teams having 4 and 5 wins respectively.

Why are two Jets fans talking smack on a Bills' board instead of celebrating Sam with their own fans?

Right now! Right now! Right now! It's what really matters! Give it a rest.

Good game for Darnold today against the Pack. Let's see how he does in Foxboro next week with the Patriots needing a win for the 2nd seed and a bye.

I repeat. It's not about now.

Time will tell.

It's not about right now.

The Steelers are in trouble for the postseason.

TD for Michael Thomas!

Good call there on Joe Haden.

If the Miami Miracle was the Dolphins' high-water point of the season, the last two weeks have been a waterfall -- or a massive drain. Miami has fallen flat in two straight weeks, first getting blown out by the Vikings in Minneapolis, and then failing to muster anything more than seven points against a very beatable Jaguars team. How beatable are the Jags? Jacksonville found itself in the red zone on a possession Sunday and ended up punting three downs later, on fourth and 46. Those kinds of errors are excellent in their rarity, yet Miami didn't take advantage of any of them. And worst of all, when tied 7-7 midway through the fourth, the Dolphins collectively crumbled, capped by Telvin Smith's pick-six of Ryan Tannehill, which followed Jacksonville's go-ahead field goal. The Dolphins lost to a Jaguars team so befuddled offensively, it turned to Blake Bortles when it became clear a banged-up Cody Kesslercouldn't lead them to a win. 2. It will be interesting to see how these last two weeks affect Adam Gase's future as head coach of the Dolphins. His tenure has been filled with tumult, but also promise. They had the look of a team that might have been capable of a playoff appearance, but fell short. On one hand, you have a coach who managed to keep his team competitive despite losing his starting quarterback and being forced to replace him with Brock Osweiler. But the other hand includes these last two games, which have been awful displays from a team in playoff contention. He and GM Mike Tannenbaum will be the focus of discussions entering January. 3. This is the Jaguars defense we expected to see for most of the season. Fresh off a 16-13 loss to a Josh Johnson-led Washington team, the Jaguars stood tall and did much of what led them to an AFC South crown last year: They pressured the quarterback (six sacks as a team), kept the opponent out of the red zone (one trip) and completed the trifecta with the ever-important defensive score. We're teetering on the Jaguars potentially blowing it up after this season, but this could be a win that prevents them from doing so, instead addressing their offense while keeping most of the defense -- which can still do its job, as evidenced Sunday (and twice against the Colts) -- intact. -- Nick Shook Week 17 Game Day at New Era Field Buffalo Bills 2018 Stadium Guide SCHEDULE 8:00 a.m. Abbott Road closes 9:00 a.m. Parking lots open 11:30 a.m. Stadium gates open (Easy entry - avoid lines) 11:45 a.m. Player warm-ups 12:45 p.m. Stampede performance 12:50 p.m. Team introductions 1:00 p.m. Kickoff DETAILS Don’t miss kickoff or the pregame action!
