The defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots play Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium on Saturday December 21st at 4:30 PM.
The Bills are... (checks notes)... actually pretty good this year?
(I apologize for using that tired joke format... If it makes you feel any better, I've written the rest of this column with my head hanging in shame...)
The Patriots offense is... not good. I'm not going to sugar coat it. The line is bad. The running game is bad. And... the quarterback hasn't played well in a while now. No more making excuses for TB12.

Here's three things I liked about last week:
1) JC Jackson - Hasn't gotten nearly enough credit for a really good season.
2) Stephon Gilmore - Has probably gotten the proper amount of credit for a really good season.
3) N’Keal Harry - N'Keal might not be a bust? Maybe?
Here's Week 16 of The Buck Stops Here, featuring some of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck's tastiest riffs.
Let's do a Mike Mills song in honor of his birthday earlier this week.

Did Jakobi Meyers have a catch last week?
No.

This week we have Fake Matt Patricia filling for Fake Bill Belichick.
Putting the final touches on the team Saturnalia party this weekend. This year's theme is The Second Punic War. Stop by if you can. It'll be a hoot!
I'm also deploying the Fabian Strategy (war of attrition) from the Roman battlefield to the football field. Just three or four more seasons and I'll have conquered the NFC North!
Try this dessert for your next gathering. It'll knock your toga off!
