The Buffalo Bills played so foolishly yesterday that their coach apologized for his poor performance. And still, like most teams this season, they found a way to beat the Jets. The score was 24-17, and the winning play came with only 22 seconds remaining when Joe Cribbs caught a 33-yard pass from Joe Ferguson. But the Bills committed 15 penalties, more than any Jet opponent ever. The Bills used all their second-half timeouts before the end of the third quarter. And their coach, Kay Stephenson, said of the winning touchdown: ''I went against the percentages.''
Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau said today that Western European leaders had expressed broad support for his proposals to end the impasse between Moscow and Washington over arms control. ''I am encouraged by this momentum and heartened by the response,'' Mr. Trudeau told 4,000 guests at a Liberal Party fund-raising gathering in Montreal. Mr. Trudeau is urging that talks on nuclear arms limitation be expanded to all five countries possessing nuclear weapons, that safeguards be made more stringent and that tighter controls be imposed on the development of nuclear weapons. Mr. Trudeau returned to Ottawa on Friday from a five-day European trip during which he visited the leaders of France, the Netherlands, Italy, West Germany, Belgium and Britain, as well as the Pope.

President Reagan, ending a two- day visit to this country, pledged ''steadfast support'' today for South Korea and said he would strengthen the United States forces stationed here. Mr. Reagan, in a joint statement with President Chun Doo Hwan, called Northeast Asia a ''region of critical strategic significance'' and said the United States would meet its ''responsibilities as a Pacific power.'' The statement was issued this morning shortly before Mr. Reagan took off for Washington after a seven-day trip to Japan and South Korea. Speaking with reporters Sunday night, Secretary of State George P. Shultz said there were no plans to add to the 40,000 American soldiers based in South Korea.
