The first drive of the game for the Buffalo Bills on Monday against the New England Patriots featured a heck of a lot of creativity, kind of like what we saw from Bills Mafia before the game.
The Bills lined up in some wild formations, and at one point they tried an elaborate flea-flicker that had fans buzzing.
Brian Daboll clearly came into this game with zero $%^#s to give, which is exactly the right approach.

But in the end, none of it really worked as they were still forced to punt. The reactions on social media to this were pretty funny.
Positive development: The Bills have lined up several players at QB to open the game, and none of them were Nathan Peterman

Bills couldn't decide who to start at QB so they are just going to keep playing without one.

The #Bills think they're the 2008 Miami Dolphins against the #Patriots

I kinda want to see the Bills run a trick play on every snap until they run out of ideas.

After all that razzle-dazzle, #Bills say 'eff-it' and punt from +43 netting 23 yards. Great.
