  1. Paint and punch-list consisting of installing or replacing non working fixtures, such as lighting and appliances are typically the last things done on a large construction project. My guess is that some of the high tech systems may have programming kinks to work out also. If memory is correct (which is not all the time these days) I seem to recall the scoreboard having issues on opening night at Rich Stadium.

    @Beck Water said it best: “I don't know if this would work for you, but for me, I honestly went into the season feeling this was a rebuilding year and while, with Allen, there is always a good chance, we just didn't have the "hosses" on Defense and at Offensive Skill Positions to make it work.  And the guys I felt the best about (Samuel, then Cooper) haven't been the major contributors I'd hoped.

    I've been delighted to be wrong on the W/L record, but I'm trying to remember that I didn't go into the season saying "Superbowl, Baby!"  

    I went into the season saying "I hope we can be competitive in most games"

     

     The 2024 exhilarating/nail-biting/frenetic/exasperating NFL regular season comes to a close today. This rare, unanticipated thrill ride crawls out quietly for us with bitter cold temps this afternoon in Foxborough MA. As with the Opener in early September, we’ll need a program to identify the players by the time the gun sounds. Does Mike White still wear #8 with a ‘Milano Was Here’ tattoo on his chest? Will Micah Hyde return for his Swan Song? Will Christian Wade finally carry the rock in a real game?? 🤣 All of this is meaningless for us of course, as the game will have zero impact on the forthcoming post season, where we take our 5th consecutive AFCE title and undefeated Home record into the carnage carnival known as The Superbowl Quest! Other game outcomes will decide who’ll be shuffling off to Buffalo next week for our Super Wildcard Weekend opponent. 

     

    Congratulations to the 10 Bills selected to the Pro Bowl -Gilliam, Kincaid, Oliver, S. Brown, Bernard, Hamlin, McGovern & Cook, with Allen & Dawkins named as starters.

     

    Since detailing what NE* and the Bills do and don’t do well is irrelevant today, let’s evolve the discussion to our noteworthy ‘24 Rookie class & 1st year players, where 4+ players started games.

     Drafted 2nd Round, WR Keon Coleman. Made an immediate impression regarding his charismatic character, sensational body control with great skills, humorous and yes, late for meetings.. Missed 4 games from a cheap shot by Jordan Poyer but he’s entrenched as a starter with amazing catch radius and strong if sometimes lackadaisical hands.

     Drafted 3rd Round, Safety Cole Bishop. Injured in training camp, took a long time to break the lineup. But he’s here now and not likely to be supplanted as a starter going forward. Very smart, quick learner, strong against the run and brings POP to tackling.

     Drafted 4th Round, RB Ray Davis. Tough, fast runner with great vision and very good hands. Remarkable upbringing brings exceptional character and he has shined brightly at times this season.

     Drafted 5th Round, DE Javon Solomon. Great 1st step, fast, strong hand fighter and a nose for the ball.

     Undrafted local boy from UB, LB Joe Andreessen. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Shone bright in training camp beyond expectations. High motor with good tackling skills. Made the roster as a WALK ON! STARTED 2 GAMES, named Captain!

    Every Drafted Bill made the team in some capacity, including 7th Round pick International Gateway candidate OT Travis Clayton, a monster 6’7”, 301 pound wall! Then we raided rookie CB/KR Brandon Codrington from Miami’s Practice Squad to round out the rookie haul.

     

    We have no idea what will happen in the playoffs but we have the opportunity to play 2 games at home where we’re undefeated this year! We’ve tied our very best record in season wins with the final game still to play, while enjoying a thrilling season NO ONE saw coming as we stared wide eyed & mouths agape at the otherworldly weekly performance of our/THEE MVP, Quarterback Josh Allen!

     

     

    We’ve played in 4 Super Bowls, all with disappointing verdicts. With my personal doom shield firmly in place, there’s no expectation of this changing any time soon. But we’ve been granted a helluva chance to change this narrative in the next month, nonetheless! The AFC playoff teams represent a true gauntlet -where the Super Bowl may well be the easiest task!

     

    So cancel that January cruise, reposition the living room furniture and place your favorite chair directly in front of the big screen with tables set up on both sides for food, drink and remotes. Or, for you lucky bastards, attend the games in person! 

     

    Say it with me:

    WE GOT THIS!

     

    GO BILLS!

     

    Congratulations to our Pro Bowl selections and Alternates!

    Thanks for another great pregame write-up. I've come to enjoy these as much as Shaws post game pieces. Great work!
