Lets start with some snap count account and questions that were posed in other threads and possibly this thread can tackle:
Note: Some of the regulars are a bit busy at the moment so hopefully others can jump in more. It was an interesting game for a re-watch I believe since there were some key guys missing and some coming back . and also some interesting game planning on both sides

Snap count by Lazar: Patriots at Bills Snap Count Report: New England has a balanced backfield
And advanced stats FWIW: Patriots at Bills Advanced Stats Report: Eric Lee and Malcom Brown star against Buffalo
Notes:
1. While WRs had a quiet day their snap count was within the norm. Dorsett is clearly outsnapping Amendola in last 4 games so he is technically replacing Hogan as #2 WR and Dola remains more of a rotational/situational and above all clutch snap player.
2. As “projected“ . D.Allen's snap count was steadily rising and remains above 50%. It will be interesting to see him vs Dolphins in a #1 TE role (depending on game plan)
3. Two guys with the biggest snap-count bounce in the absence of T.Flowers, Reilly and KVN were of course Wise and Lee with Wise taking more of a T.Flowers role and Lee Wise's. I was surprised though A.Butler was not used more in this situation. Instead M.Flowers saw further substantial increase and (as expected by some) also Jordan Richards.
4. Another late riser is JJ staying above 80% despite Rowe coming back at 20%. He is certainly one of the stories of the season, significant re. 2018 roster choices.
