Chandler#81 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Fasten your seatbelts! It’s ON! The Bills 2025 season kicks off tonight at the Rich/Ralph/Highmark stadium Swan Songs’ 53rd and final season. It’s everyone’s intention to open next season in the New Highmark palace across the street with a Super Bowl Championship Banner to hang from the semi-rafters and it starts tonight in a nationally televised SNF tilt vs the Baltimore Ravens To achieve that lofty level, questions we all have will need to be addressed quickly. Is our Secondary ANY good? Will Milano, Bishop & Rapp stay healthy? The current Practice Squad (changing every day) is -to put mildly, trash with a collection of Has beens, cast offs & jags while already dealing with concerning injuries throughout the roster. PK, P & KR are very suspect (I don’t even know their names!) in a season with more new ST rules to contend with. This WILL impact games -perhaps more than ever! 2 expensive FA Defensive studs have been kicked out of the locker room for the 1st third of the season while rookies will see significant playing time. Coming off a season where we were the Leagues’ worst 3rd Down Defense, it took a staggeringly high TO ratio to reach the Conference title game! The jury is out on supposedly Defensive guru Ryan Nielsen coming from a hapless Jacksonville squad. We didn’t have an easier game last year than slapping them around ‘the Ralph’. So where do our hopes lie, our dreams reside? Joe Brady’s gang. Our OL may well be the best in the bidniz with guru coach Aaron Kromer returning for his 4th season. We have true studs across the line, play with 6 OL more than any other team and WR’s who love to block! Say what you will about Saquan, Henry & others, our RBs are a perfect complement of grit, flash & speed! I’ll miss Mack Hollis’ contributions but last season was clearly his best year and NE* had cash to burn come FA. For our part, Josh Palmer has been an excellent if overlooked WR with feet as clever as Stefon Diggs and has no quit in him. I expect he’ll be a great part of our Offense. Shakir’s high ankle sprain certainly gives pause as he’s our most polished and effective Receiver, but he’s battled this before and gutted it out very well before finally recovering. Knox is a solid, dependable TE who blocks well, though we’ve added a supremely effective blocking TE in the Draft with Jackson Hawes! Much improvement is expected from 3rd year TE Dalton Kincaid and 2nd year Wideout Keon Coleman and both showed this in limited preseason action and training camp. I love that Shavers made the 53! He could be a real Sleeper! Should these expectations materialize, we’ll remain a dominant and feared Offense. Why? 3 letters. M V P! 29 year old, married Josh Allen IS the Face of the NFL. He’s already become the greatest Buffalo Bill and all but locked up 1st Ballot HOF induction. Fun fact: Josh has completed 6 of 15 passes thrown within a yard of the sideline for 118 yards and 3 touchdowns. The rest of the NFL QBs are a combined 3 for 61. If we can engineer a Super Bowl win with him, well, he’ll never buy a drink in this neighborhood the rest of his life. So otherworldly is this gentleman that NOT to win a Super Bowl with Buffalo cements the ever-growing fear that we are definitely an unworthy and cursed franchise. I’ll reach my 8th decade in a month and my Dad is well into his 10th. While we’ve never missed a game, my memories didn’t really begin until the silver helmet was replaced by the white one with the standing red Buffalo. Dad, on the other hand, will bore you to tears talking about Buster Ramsey, Ritchie Lucas and Warren Rabb while still lamenting we couldn’t sign our 1st Round pick Carl Eller in ‘64.. I digress. Bring on the 2025 Buffalo Bills! We Got this! GO BILLS! 3 1 Quote

Chandler#81 Posted 2 hours ago Author Posted 2 hours ago Joe Marino’s take on the game -not very positive.. Quote
Scott7975 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I want to win this one. I will be sad if we don't. I'm not going to take any stock into a week 1 game against a team that is on our level though. I just hope we don't get blown out again like the last regular season against them. Quote
