End of era. Thank you Kyle for being a class act and solid, dependable player. Glad that he made it to the playoffs and too bad that a guy with his work ethic didn't experience more success because of the ineptness of the Bills management through much of his tenure here. You will be missed!

To me EJ was promising but was never the same after the injury he took in Cleveland in that primetime night game. Everything about him became way more tentative and hesitant. By the time he replaced an injured TT in that London game against the Jags he was pretty much a bust. He might have ended up the exact same way careerwise had he not been injured vs the Browns but St.Doug obviously had had enough by Year 2 and got Orton off the scrap heap to somewhat salvage the season. Perhaps EJ would have been decent had they kept Fitz for another year and he not started?

The Pats were so irrelevant in the 80s and 90s except for the 2 years they got walloped in the SBs. Outside of that, the only reason I remember a single Pats game from my childhood was when that guy on the tractor came on the field and cleaned the snow for the winning FG by the Pats. I shake my head at the fact that they have been this good for this long. Truly it is like Brady and BB made a deal with the devil. Nobody is this good for this long. The fact that as Bills fans we have had to suffer with most of the garbage players and coaches of the last 20 years at the exact same time just rubs salt into the bitter wound!!!

The receiving corps has baffled me this year. You had KB and Clay who were supposedly A1 talent continually show us a lack of skill, effort and commitment. Zay has been better than expected but seeing that his expectations after last year were so poor that isn't something to celebrate. Foster has been a pleasant surprise but he isn't not an elite level receiver. None of the group has made any amazing grabs, contested catches or most importantly clutch receptions when it was most necessary. The pass that was lost in the sun in the first Q yesterday says it all. In short we have no money players anything like what the OP mentioned.

This should have been a statement game for McD and co and they sure made a statement about how completely unprepared they were. It was like watching a game from the 1950s when teams would play each other and not have any film or scouting on their opponents and every play was a surprise. Except of course the Pats seemed to have done their simple homework on how to beat Josh Allen and destroy our vaunted defense. The Pats completely schooled us on the running game and McD made no adjustments to stop it. We went into this with an incredibly cautious game plan. No tricks, no misdirections, no disguises, just plain old vanilla offense. And despite all this incompetence in preparation, we forced the Pats into 3 turnovers! The Pats were practically gifting us the game and despite all the advantages we still didn't convert anything into Tds until late. The final straw for me was watching Hauschka get trotted out for FGs when he is obviously hurting. His Fg attempt that hit the bar looked so unlike the normal kicking power he has. Which begs the question, with nothing on the line why aren't you shutting Hauschka down for the season? Why use him if you know he is not at 100%. About the only ray of sunshine in this 60 minutes of excrement was that the refs didn't screw us over too badly as they usually do (except for the bizarre block in the back penalty on our OWN Kick which of course SEE BS didn't show a replay on. Overall, another embarrassingly easy win for the Pats in the Brady era.

With a kicker who is hurting...…..Just plain STUPID!!

I was wondering the same thing. If its a blocked punt why didn't the Bills player pick it up and run forward?? Don't our STs players know the rules? Unfu$$ing believable!!

because we are being embarrassed by a beatable Pats team who have practically given us 4-5 opportunities for TDs that we have squandered.

260yds rushing against our defensive guru coach.

They might as well have gone for it on 4th, Pathetic punt. Defense gassed. Pats are going to pull away.

Nice play dumbass.

If you are Frazier and McD aren't you humiliated by getting gashed over and over again on the run? do something about it.

The pats are just offering the game to us, Any team with the slightest quality would be beating them right now.

Unfortunately, I think that this game might have been over the second Hyde did not run that fumble back for a TD.

If he makes any effort to cut inside, even 1 step, its a TD or PI call

OMG what a stupid call!! Daboll is an idiot

Alexander just did a great bit of cheating to get that INT and for once the refs aren't throwing an obvious flag for NE.

Absolutely pathetic pass by Allen into double coverage.

This looks like another McD special blowout performance. It looks like the Bills gave up before they got on the plane and McD and his elite coaching team decided on no specific game plan for Brady and co. Bellichick must just love these games.

Wow once again the Bills just lay down for big scary NE.

For only the 2nd time in 40 years of watching football, I see the Bills Sts achieve an illegal block in the back when THEY ARE KICKING!!! The first time was also the Bills this year. WTF

Ok this game means nothing, but I am seriously annoyed about how the Bills are playing and how the coaches have approached things so far. The Bills are playing nervous, intimidated wimpy football. The Coaching/play calling has been ridiculously cautious. Trotting out Hauschka (or even playing him now if he is hurt, which he seems he is) is seriously stupid. Go for it on fourth down. They should be playing this game "balls out" not turtling!!

That's true but a lot of the Canadiens success came when the NHL was a smaller league. After expansion and esp after the WHA teams joined in 1979, the Canadiens have only won 2 Stanley cups in 40 years. Hell the Canadiens used to enjoy the first dibs exclusive rights to French Canadian players before the other teams in the league had a shot. There really is no other team in any sport that has had the sustained success of the Pats. Its crazy!!

I don't begrudge the Pats some of their success, Great QB and coach deserve success. However its the longevity that pisses me off. 17 seasons of success?!! No other team in any sport have had that kind of domination for that long!

Overall the positives of this season were, Allen, Edmunds, Foster, the win vs Minni and the Jags, Barkleys demo of the Jets but that's about it. The negatives unfortunately overwhelmed the positives. More blowout losses, the complete stupidity of the Peterman era, bad acquisition of McCarron and the even worse embarrassing acquisition of Anderson, Shady sliding into obscurity, a horrible offensive line, the complete waste of time of KB and clay, really weak special teams and a defense that although pretty good, forgot how to take the ball away from other team. The really painful part is that we lost at least 4 easy win games to Houston, Jets, Fins and Colts, we also lost to a weak GB team and a mediocre Ravens team. Like others have said on here some of the personnel moves by Beane really make me question his intelligence going forward. We should still be in the hunt for a playoff spot and the one factor that is common to many of the negatives is dumb moves or a lack of good move from Beane. Definitely a wasted season.
