The New England Patriots were defeated by the Buffalo Bills 24-10 on Thursday night. Their playoff chances took a serious hit with the loss, while Buffalo continued to add to their win total in the AFC.
It was a game of frustration for the New England offense, as Mac Jones and the rest of the unit could not get anything going consistently.
Defensively, it was a rough night for the run defense, as the Bills compiled 132 rushing yards in the matchup. The running game supplemented Josh Allen’s performance through the air, as he threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns.
It was a rough night all-around for the entire Patriots team. Given the possible playoff ramification for the loss, it was no surprise that fans were angered by the team’s performance.
Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter.

You know the season is different when the bills are more worried about losing to the JETS than the PATRIOTS 🤣🤣🤣

The Bills execute in tight windows. They are polished. The Patriots look like diarrhea running plays. The Bills picked up cues and blew up plays. The Bills are better on every level from execution, to play selection, to finishing plays, coaching, everything…….

Thank goodness for @Celtics and @NHLBruins to make Boston/New England sports fans like myself feel better from the bad @Patriots games. #BleedGreen #NHLBruins

you have displayed for the last 40 years. As a coach… but for the last several years you've also served as the General Manager of the New England Patriots. And while your eye for defensive talent is unquestioned. Your ability to assess offensive talent is, well, its offensive.

The entire #Patriots organizational success was solely Tom Brady — #Pats will never win again. Welcome to the rest of the league New England. You’re human now.

I think it’s time for a complete overhaul in coaching for the Patriots. It’ll suck losing Belichick, but change is needed in New England even if it’s tough at the start. #BUFvsNE #TNF
