I was supposed to be in Vegas right now.
Instead I’m at a bar in JFK, awaiting my six hour delayed flight, watching this game, surrounded on all sides by drunk Bills & Patriots fans.
This is my personal hell. I might not make it out alive.

As much as you want to nitpick all the coaching decisions and missed opportunities, the #Bills are just a much better team than the #Patriots. Have been for three seasons now. Nothing we didn't already know.

Ben Baldwin, The Athletic
The Bills have 10 points on possessions that followed the Patriots punting on 4th & 1 or 2, by the way

Josh Allen is absolutely amazing.
Bills' last two-and-a-half games vs. Patriots: 12 TDs, 0 punts.

Aaron Schatz, Football Outsiders
The Bills average 6.3 yards per play. Tonight they have 5.2 yards per play. The idea that the Patriots defense was "exposed" tonight is silly. This is what happens when a good D plays a good O. You don't dominate but you slow them down. The Pats have a good D.
The offense sucks.

Jeff Howe, The Athletic
The Patriots will fall to 6-6 and the 9 seed in the AFC. They're 2 losses behind the 7th-seeded Jets and will probably need to finish 5-0 or 4-1 to get into the playoffs. Their last 3 games are vs. the Bengals, Dolphins & Bills. Likely a 4th straight season without a playoff win.

The Buffalo win over NE puts the Bills back ahead of the Dolphins for the up-to-the-minute AFC East lead, but it also sets the Patriots back further, making it easier for Miami to secure a playoff spot. pic.twitter.com/uINktCLk06

We need MORE ENERGY when Josh Allen makes a ridiculous play like that crossbody-almost out of bounds-jump throw for a touchdown.

You can put things this simply:
If you don't protect a guy like Josh Allen, he can put on a Superman cape and just beat you anyway.
If you don't protect Mac Jones, your offense is dead.
Not sure that's something to hate Jones for, but tonight made that pretty clear.
