‘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.

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

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.’

Ryan Davis, Eddie Yarbrough have capably stepped in for Shaq Lawson
‘“A few weeks ago, I wasn’t really feeling it,” Davis said. “My knee was acting up, so mentally my head was in a different space. Ever since then, you know, I think that’s when it clicked for me. I’ve got to put it behind me, fight through whatever I’m going through and take care of myself. For me to put together back-to-back good games, it’s been a real big confidence boost, but at the same time I know our work is not done.”‘

Bucky Gleason: McDermott sees ‘all good stuff’ with Bills in contention
‘McDermott has talked all year about winning now and planning for the future, but there was a sense they were mutually exclusive. Yes, he would like to win now and do everything in his power to win the next game. If he ended the drought in his first season, he’ll never buy another beer in Buffalo.’
