Host John Boccacino and co-host Jamie D'Amico break down the Buffalo Bills' tough 24-17 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 16. Before we get to the good, the bad, and the ugly from another loss to the Evil Empire, we wanted to state that while there were many things to like from this playoff-type game in Foxborough, there's no such thing as a moral victory with this year's Buffalo Bills, who if they want to take that next step need to find a way to pull out a win. Among the topics discussed: Josh Allen and the offense struggled mightily in the first half, but rebounded with a solid second-half performance; Allen delivered two of the best throws of his young career to keep the Bills in this one; Buffalo lost the battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball, and the Bills were pushed around by the physical Patriots, who never allowed Buffalo to establish its run game while employing their own power football mentality on offense. The Bills inability to get off the field proved costly as New England consistently went on long drives that chewed up the clock; WR Cole Beasley enjoyed another solid game for the Bills, who despite being outplayed had a chance to tie the game late. What does this game mean moving forward for the Bills? Find out on the latest episode of Billieve!
