Williams reports to Bills facility day after hurting neck

In many ways, it was. Belichick out-coached me. And they allowed New England to score on seven on its next nine possessions, not including a kneel-down to end the first half, to build a 37-13 lead through three quarters.

But it was not to be, as New England would score touchdowns on each of its next three possessions. Buffalo started the drive on the New England 48 after the Patriots failed to convert a fourth down, and got down to the 9 when Patriots cornerback Bradley Fletcher was flagged for pass interference on a deep pass to Harvin.

Then again, it’s not like it’s going to change Buffalo’s way of doing things.

(1) The Bills were outcoached.

“It’s a team win”, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. He’ll never say publicly, of course, but Belichick’s in-game personnel decisions might lend some insight.

Not that you-know-who was interested in singling anyone out.

He did not break any personal records against the Buffalo Bills, but he had a day that will be immortalized in the stat book. Bills DT Marcell Dareus and Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount both returned after serving one-game suspensions for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy… “They’re acting like it’s the Super Bowl”. He’s a football genius.

Sunday’s game ball goes to Tom Brady, who picked up his 24th career win against Buffalo.

Ah, those were the days. The Bills’ defensive line wasn’t a factor.

“It was unacceptable”, said Hughes, who had a 15-yard sack of Brady while Mario Williams had one for zero yards. “It’s a good team, great defense, a tough place to play and it was a great win”.

Rob Gronkowski congratulates Dion Lewis, after the running back scored a first-quarter touchdown, putting the Patriots up 14-7. That plays right into their hands.

Edelman is a more interesting case. Two Bills had him within arm’s reach. You can see how this gets on a spin cycle.

At some point, the Bills have to ask what they need to do to stop Edelman. “If they want to throw the ball 80,000 times a game they can do that”.

Here’s another number: 2. And one of those sacks was because Brady slid before the line of scrimmage! “It looks bad on our team, our fans and it reflected in the way that we played“. Rex Ryan had people believing they would beat the Patriots. “I’m probably bettering that the whole league’s rooting for them to beat us, too”. Ryan’s defense was going to shred Tom Brady.

The key is getting pressure on the first play of the drive.

It’s not so easy, especially when you have no composure and no discipline whatsoever. That’s what happened Sunday.

On offense, Tyrod Taylor threw three interceptions and combined for 166 yards offense through three quarters. The Bills recovered, and went 5o-yards in fifteen seconds, which was capped off with a 24-yard touchdown from Taylor to Sammy Watkins. He dumped it off to LeSean McCoy.

Taylor and the Bills head to Miami next week for another divisional matchup. “Two of them came in two-minute drills”. They only had 11, we had 14 … It’s not his team’s penalties and turnovers and high-strung play, it’s Belichick. The call came on a 3rd and 8 play.

After a Patriots field goal, Buffalo trailed by eight, and-incredibly-had the chance to mount a comeback with under two minutes remaining.

On special teams, Marcus Thigpen had a big return after the Patriots punted on their first drive of the game.

And by the time the Bills settled, despite their fourth-quarter blitz of points, it was too late.
