Bills collapse late, losing 25-24 at New England

Buffalo kick returner Leodis McKelvin went for the extra yard and gave the New England Patriots a chance to get back into the game.

Typical Bills loss. Going to be a long year for them.

It's a shame. They had the game in the bag and they self inflict their own wounds. They are their own worst enemies. Dick Jauron and Trent Edwards need to go. The team shows promise, but not with out better leadership.

[Fact finder]

Reminds why I am not a Bills fan. Some teams are destined to win, and others destined to lose. Last night we got to see both types. Until the Bills go out and get a "real" proven coach with solid game management experience they will continue down the same path.

[not a bills fan]

I'm not a Bills fan, however they caught the Patriots on a off night and once again were not able to seal the deal. McKelvin stated he did his job and that he would do again because thats him. Well how about doing what is right for the team. Last time I checked football is a team game. He takes a knee and the Bills run the clock out. Bills win. The key here is leadership. It has been leadership for the last ten years. The 95 year old man has to get off his butt and hire better coaching. period.......

[Gomer]

Once again, the Bills show the difference between a winning franchise and a pretender. For ANYONE to defend McKelvins blockhead play is beyond comprehension. If he had hit the ground, the Bills had the game. This team will NEVER win under Jaurons "leadership."

How I miss the days of the Bills in their prime. If they want to move - go right ahead. Please.

[dennis]

Heartbreaker, but Bills looked pretty good on both sides of the ball. Will be better than expected this year!

[DizzyG]

Typical Bills fashion. Take the lead from the get go..... play pretty good..... get cocky.... lose. EVERY TIME! I don't know why I put myself through the agony of watching them. NEVER AGAIN!

yes, the good old days, lol

i can see Jim Kelly handing off the ball to Thurman Thomas and he runs for a TD, ah yes, the good old days,lol.

Hurts really bad. I am a die hard Bills fan, have been all my life. Why is it that we're the only team who is notorious for losing in this kind of matter. Speechless and hopeless for another long season.

2 TD passes, no interseptions, QB rating of 114, yeah Trent needs to go

not

McKelvin is an idiot and should be benched. That has to be basic fundamental rule 101 when you are up with 2 minutes left, take a knee in the endzone. Or at least just drop to the ground at the first hit. How stupid can he be?

Either that or the coaching once again shoul dof told him what to do.

[Shelly]

It seems that they have been cursed ever since "Wide Right"!

[moveonrochester]

I'm not a Bills fan but I thought it was a good game. I anticipated the Patriots were going to run away with the game leaving the Bills far behind in a distance. That wasn't the case the Bills were in 'til the end. They put up a fight. If I were a Bills fan I wouldn't be crying the "Bills Blues" yet.

[THOMAS J BEAL]

all the bills need are a new head coach, and smarter players.maybe kelly should have a comeback!

[Cortez Jones]

I wonder why we stop letting McGee do the kick-off returns...

Very simple...beause we've had some of the worst coaches in AFL/NFL history. You get what you pay for, and Ralphie pinches his pennies.

[Sage Rosenfumbles]

He pinches old loafs too from what T.O. twittered.

I will helicopter maneuver and fling turds like rockets, get your popcorn ready.

The Bills HANDED them the game by fumbling instead of taking a knee and running out the clock...guess you didn't see the whole game!

So what does that make you for supporting a team that "hands others the game"?

Certainly not smart.

If they "handed" them the game, they deserved to Lose and the Pats Deserved to win capatilizing off the fumble. Dummy.

Tom was praised for his ability to remain poised despite playing uncharacteristically and respectively being MIA for a season. You forget, the bar was raised high for brady because of his reputation as a HERO QB in the past.He is human though and freshly recovered from a severe injury and time off..

Gomer, im beginning to realize why you chose that avatar. Youre clueless and routinely dumbfounded...
