Bills send Micah Hyde, LeSean McCoy and Richie Incognito to Pro Bowl

‘Hyde is a first-time selection to the league’s annual all-star game, which is scheduled for Jan. 28 in Orlando, Fla. McCoy has been chosen for the sixth time in his nine NFL seasons and Incognito for the fourth in his 11 years in the league. All three were picked as backups.’

Every out-of-town game that can help the Bills in Week 16

‘The Bills and Ravens are both 8-6. If they both win out, the Ravens have the edge, but if they finish 9-7 with the Bills beating the Dolphins, the Bills have the edge. The Bills need a Ravens loss in either of their last two games, against the Colts (3-11) or Bengals (5-9).’

What Buffalo Bills’ Tre’Davious White said about Pro Bowl snub

‘White has every reason to feel snubbed. Buffalo has depended on White to be their No. 1 cornerback as a rookie and he’s thrived in the role. With two weeks remaining in the regular season, White is tied for fourth in the league in interceptions (4) and third in the league in passes defensed (18).’

Tre’Davious White, Jordan Poyer lead Buffalo Bills’ biggest Pro Bowl snubs

‘Tre’Davious White is a legitimate NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate, but he was somehow overlooked for the 2018 Pro Bowl. White is currently tied for fourth in the league in interceptions (4) and only Darius Slay and Casey Hayward have more passes defensed than White (18). Analytics also support the notion that White was snubbed for the Pro Bowl. The rookie cornerback is Pro Football Focus’ No. 3 CB in the league. White may have been snubbed this year, but he’ll make many Pro Bowls if he continues to play at this level in his career.’

Micah Hyde, Richie Incognito and LeSean McCoy selected to 2018 Pro Bowl

‘Among the notable omissions from the Pro Bowl list are safety Jordan Poyer and cornerback Tre’Davious White. White has four interceptions and nine pass breakups during his rookie season. Both of those numbers are good for top 10 in the respective categories. Poyer, meanwhile, has also been an integral part of the Bills’ rebuilt secondary.’

8 things we learned about the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills’ Week 16 opponent

‘Even a great team like the Patriots need to catch a few breaks sometimes. Late in the game, the Patriots were able to pull off their win by catching two breaks. First, defensive back Sean Davis dropped what should have been an interception early in the Patriots’ drive that resulted in a touchdown. Following their touchdown, the Patriots caught a second break when Steelers tight end Jesse James could not “survive the ground” on what appeared to be the game-winning touchdown for Pittsburgh.’

McDermott explains why Preston Brown made an appearance on Sunday’s onside kick

‘”A lot of the kicks we see go up in the air and we need a wall, so that’s really Preston’s role. That said though, he’s tasked with the responsibility also when the ball’s kicked, coming to field it. He came up a little bit short yesterday, but that’s something we’ll work on and look at moving forward,” McDermott said.’

Guregian: Bills should plan to hurt Rob Gronkowski and Patriots with a win

‘Perhaps the Ryan-coached Bills would be out for blood. Maybe they would be headed after Gronk or Tom Brady to even the score, and that would cloud their priorities. McDermott’s team figures to be a different story, even if White and everyone in the Bills neighborhood made some not-so subtle threats toward No. 87 in the aftermath of the dirty hit.’

Bills’ Tre’Davious White: Have ‘moved on’ from Rob Gronkowski hit

‘”As I’ve had time to think about it, I knew he wasn’t that type of player,” White told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday. “We just honed in and moved on from it. But I get the film Sunday, and the best way that I can handle that situation and just try to go in there and just get a big old ‘W’ in their stadium and try to help our playoff chances.”‘

Bills send trio to Pro Bowl

‘This will be McCoy’s sixth Pro Bowl appearance in 9 NFL seasons. The Bills running back has 1,057 yards rushing, fifth most in the NFL.’

Good Start Against Miami

‘So now the Bills move onto New England, and unless there’s some sort of Christmas miracle, the Bills are likely to fall to 8-7 (don’t blame me – the Bills have never won a meaningful game in Foxboro when Brady plays). What’s interesting is that the Bills could lose that game and still be able to make the playoffs, so I’ll be spending my Christmas Eve afternoon closely watching the game and hoping for the best – if they can play a complete game like the first half they played against Miami they might just give Bills fans a fantastic Christmas gift.’

Three Bills named to 2018 Pro Bowl

‘There will be a respectable Buffalo contingent at this year’s Pro Bowl, as three Bills made the squad for the AFC. Micah Hyde, Richie Incognito and LeSean McCoy were voted to the league’s all-star game by coaches, players and NFL fans.’

Brownie Points – Week 15

‘Wood seals and uses Suh’s upfield momentum to turn the defensive tackle sideways and neutralize his path to McCoy, the ball carrier. Ducasse then takes an oncoming Charles Harris and keeps him out of the hole. DiMarco executes a strong kick out block on Reshad Jones and Jordan Mills climbs to the second level to drive Chase Allen into the end zone. It all gives McCoy more than enough room to reach the end zone almost untouched.’

Bills Today: Ryan Davis: I think we’re making Shaq proud

‘“I knew we were going to have to step it up a notch,” Ryan Davis said on WGR 550. “I knew it was going to be similar to the Atlanta game where Shaq didn’t play and me and Jerry [Hughes] had to rotate. It worked out fine, so I knew we’d be fine from that aspect.”’
