Bills come up just short vs. Pats - BuffaloBills.com
"Despite the fact that Buffalo’s offense was dramatically better and scored points on four of their first five possessions, in the end, a pair of turnovers proved costly in a 38-30 loss to New England. In a game that saw five lead changes, the Bills hung with the Patriots for almost the entire game, but a pair of second half interceptions kept Buffalo from overtaking New England, giving the Patriots their 14th straight victory over Buffalo."
Defense drops the ball against beatable Pats - Jerry Sullivan - The Buffalo News
"Speaking of mediocrity, how about that Buffalo defense on Sunday! After that performance, the entire "D" will be lined up outside Buddy Nix's door, looking to renegotiate. On a day when the offense played its guts out, the defense was worse than mediocre in a 38-30 loss to a very beatable Patriots team."

"We had opportunities too, there is no magical way to say it or come up with it, it just didn’t get done," Kyle Williams said. "It is disappointing, big time. The offense did everything they could for us and we dropped the ball. There is no other way to look at it, we dropped the ball."
Inside The Bills | Stevie’s TD act penalized "
"It was pretty childish," said Johnson. "It was stupid of me. I got caught up in the moment. I ended up costing the team some yards. They came through (for me) but at the same time I have to be smarter than that. Coach talked to me when I came off and said I got to be way smarter than that. The guys talked to me too. It was a nice play, no doubt about that but at the end of the play I cost us some yards."
Inside The Bills | Notes on Spiller’s 2 TDs "
"C.J. Spiller became only the second Bills player ever to have a receiving TD and KOR TD in the same game. The first was Charley Warner, 12/19/65 against the NY Jets." He also is the first rookie since Lee Evans to score twice in one game.
Inside The Bills | Explaining the double TO "
"They come up to the line of scrimmage and the play clock is moving down from 25. I don’t know exactly where it was, but it was close to zero, probably one, two or three seconds. I think a wide receiver turned to the wing official and asked for a timeout, which should not have been granted. What we do mechanically if that does happen, which it obviously did, we bring the players out, we reset play and we go."
