The New England Patriots season has come to an end.

After a hard fought game against Buffalo, and under some unique circumstances, the Bills came up with a 35-23 victory -- effectively ending the Patriots' playoff aspirations with the way the rest of the AFC shook out by Sunday night. It was, as linebackers coach Jerod Mayo put it, a trash bag game, and players found themselves back at Gillette Stadium to clean out their lockers on Monday.

Players who met with media in one final locker room availability spoke of their teammates, and soaking up all the time they can with each other before inevitable change.

An unusually trying year in New England, adversity taught them a lot about themselves and each other. That resolve showed in one of their best performances against Buffalo in recent history, and players took to social media to reflect, thank fans and show love to everyone in the locker room.

Players also took to Instagram to share memories from the season. Here's what their captions said:

"The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream...It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin. WE GIVE IT OUR ALL TODAY, THAT'S ALL I CAN ASK FOR!"
