JP Named Starter, Calico Reservations, Sabres
Hello All 1,531 Bills Fans,
That’s right, we've added 33 fans in one week! Welcome to everyone
that is hearing from us for the first time, glad to have you aboard! The
season is fast approaching and we've got a lot to cover, so let's go:
After another solid performance against the Browns in the 3rd preseason
game last Saturday night, JP Losman was named the starting quarterback by
coach Dick Jauron yesterday. He has clearly been the best QB in practice
and has said he feels much more comfortable than last year. The team needs
to find out if JP is the real deal so this is the best possible outcome.
Now he must win over his teammates and play smart football.
Takeo Spikes made his first appearance on the field since his Achilles
tendon tear and true to form made the tackle on the Browns first play from
scrimmage. The Bills lost 20-17 on a last second field goal but the
starters played well, including a beautiful 54 yard TD from JP to our old
friend Peerless Price. The Bills play their final preseason game tomorrow
against the Lions and there are lots of positions still up for grabs.
Backup WR, RB, LB positions are being hotly contested, and tomorrow's game
will go a long way to determining who makes the team.
Your NYCBBB staff has just about finalized all the details for the
upcoming season at Little Buffalo and we'll be sending a detailed email
next week with all the info. One thing we wanted to mention is that
Calico's will again be accepting reservations for tables. They will begin
accepting reservations at noon on Tuesdays and you can reserve up to 8
seats. The number is 212 - 557 - 4300.
I just got word yesterday that we sold ALL 100 tickets we had reserved for
this game! This is going to be our biggest and best tailgate to date so if
you don't have tickets yet what are you waiting for? Call your friends and
relatives, scour the internet, do whatever it takes to get yourself up
there! It's the legendary "Pinto Ron"/Kenny Johnson's 200th straight game,
and as an added bonus our very own NYCBBB ex-pat Michelle will be there
with her new friends from NFL Films to catch some footage of the best
tailgaters in the NFL for a piece for ESPN's NFL Films Presents! The
details of the tailgate are going to be almost identical to last year
(check out our email archive) and I'll be sending out more info as the
date get closer. As a reminder, we aren't arranging transportation or
hotels in Buffalo so if you need a ticket, a ride or a hotel
recommendation, post a message on our message board. If you’re
planning on tailgating with us, please let me know by replying to this
email!
The Sabres run to the Conference Finals last year generated a LOT of
enthusiasm and we had a great time following the team together. This year
is shaping up to be even better and we are planning a lot more fun for
everyone. In order to better serve you we have set up a new, Sabres only
email list! We've updated the sign up link on our homepage to allow you to
subscribe, and in less than a week we already a ton of names. If you are
interesting in receiving additional Sabres emails, please sign up or reply
back to this email and let me know.
I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend and I look forward to seeing
you all at the season opener in 11 days!
—Kevin
