Orchard Park, N.Y. -- NFL Pro Bowl rosters were unveiled on Tuesday and no #BillsMafia December 19, 2018
Lorenzo Alexander says Bills must win more
Leave it to 35-year-old Bills captain Lorenzo Alexander to put everything into perspective despite having a Pro Bowl caliber season and not even getting the nod as an alternate.
"Obviously when we have a great defense you want guys to get rewarded," Alexander said. "There's a couple of factors that go into that. Obviously us not having a great record ourselves, and then there are a lot of good football players. When you look at the list you're like, 'OK, well who do you replace?'You replace him with some of our guys then it's an up-cry for that same guy that got replaced. It's hard. You got a lot of good talent and that's what the NFL is all about. Next year when guys have a chance, we've gotta win. And when you win you get the fan vote up because everyone's chatting about what you're doing. And then people around the league recognize winners and then they're more apt to vote for you over another guy. And that's what it comes down to."
Tre'Davious White reflects on his last few games
According to Pro Football Focus, White has been one of the most dominant cornerbacks in the game this season. As of Dec. 12, he ranked first in the NFL with snaps to targets ratio with 11, second in the NFL with .52 yards allowed per snap and 20.5 snaps for a reception.
White gave his thoughts on the Bills not getting a Pro Bowler.
"I mean, yeah there is (disappointment)," White said. "I want guys like Lorenzo, guys like Jordan Poyer, Matt Milano - those guys deserve to be in it man. We have the No. 1 defense in the league and it's crazy that we didn't get at least one guy on it. But it's definitely disappointing."
White did admit his last few outings haven't been the most stellar.
"Well the last couple games I haven't been Pro Bowl type, Pro Bowl anything," he said. "That's probably had something to do with it. But I don't think two games or three games should overshadow my body of work and how I've been playing the whole season. But it is what it is and we're just focused on trying to finish these last two games strong. If we win the accolades will come."

Eddie Yarborough miffed
"Guys like Zo, Kyle, Jerry, Milano, Po (Poyer) - like, I even take it back to last year when Po had five freaking interceptions and not even an alternate? Like, that's mind boggling to me," he said. "But at the same time us as a defense and us as a team, we're working while we wait. ... You have to work while you wait. That's all we're doing. We know all this hard work and effort that we're putting in is going to come to fruition. All this momentum that we're carrying is going to be going into next season. We can feel the buzz. And if anybody outside these walls can't feel it, everybody inside these walls, we can feel it."
Patrick DiMarco says team still focused on final two games
"It stinks. We have plenty of players that are Pro Bowl worthy. Zo, Jordan Poyer, I think Kyle and Jerry both got alternates, but shoot they could have been first round ballots. It stinks but we embrace our role here and we know what we got to do. Honestly, we don't want to be playing in the Pro Bowl because we want to play in the Super Bowl. That's our primary goal. I know we're not doing either this year but it's a goal to shoot for is to be first team, All Pro ballot. Our guys are continuing to work regardless."
