Coach McDermott on facing adversity after Bills lose to Patriots

‘“Every week is an opportunity to get another win,” McDermott said. “If you’re to this point in your career, you’re at the top of the top and you haven’t gotten there without facing adversity and overcoming adversity in your careers. We’re used to this, this is what we do.”’

Allen says low energy is his best gameday state

‘“Just trying to stay in this state of low positive,” Allen said. “Where your energy is not super high and you’re allowing your mind to think and be free and just stay on top of everything. Obviously, as a quarterback, there’s a lot of things going through our mind. So if I can limit myself, my energy and my heart rate, I feel like maybe I can think a little bit more.”’

Bills rookie LB Dorian Williams staying positive despite benching

‘“It’s definitely tough,” said Williams. “I know it was all out of love. All the coaches want the best for me, but they have to do what they feel like is best to put the team in a position to win. It has been hard. It’s something you have to deal with that’s part of the game. But I know I’m getting better everyday and I’m gonna learn.”’

McDermott hopes short week will benefit Bills

‘”Every week is a crossroads in the NFL,” McDermott said. “We’ve shown that we know how to win and we know how to figure things out and we know how to develop players and find the answer and the solutions. That’s what we’re here for.”‘

‘This is a great opportunity for us’ | On a short week, the Bills are turning the page quickly to Thursday night

‘”The first 24 hours are tough going into a short week because you’re short on rest but I think at the end of the day, it’s how you approach it,” McDermott said. “It’s a mental challenge and you got to look at it like, this is a great opportunity for us and we approach it with great energy and we look forward to playing at home where we’ve played well this year and in front of our fans.”‘

Plenty of blame to pass around in loss to Pats

‘Considering the opponent, Buffalo’s defense had its worst day of the season. The Bills let Mac Jones, who had not thrown a touchdown pass in nearly a month, look like an All-Pro. Jones looked unbothered by the Buffalo pass rush all day and completed all but five of his 30 attempts, scattering passes to nine different players. Even after the Bills erased a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to take a lead late, Jones engineered a 75-yard game-winning drive with relative ease, completing a pass to tight end Mike Gesicki at the goal line to seal the Bills’ loss.’

Upon Further Review: Von Miller’s snap count plummets in loss to Patriots

‘In his three games since returning from the physically-unable-to-perform list as he continued to recover from knee surgery to repair the torn ACL suffered last year on Thanksgiving, Miller has played 53 snaps and has one assisted tackle. His snap count reduced drastically Sunday from the 27 he played in Week 6 against the New York Giants. He played 20 snaps in his season debut against Jacksonville.’
