Hey ey ey ey NYCBBB!
Well, that sucked. Again. It’s unusual in the Allen Era to check in after the game that followed a loss not celebrating a victory, but unfortunately that’s where we find ourselves this week after a heartbreaking last minute loss to the Texans. Despite having a pretty abysmal first half our Bills fought back in inspiring fashion and almost pulled it out, and while we can certainly have some conversations about the play calling in those final seconds, as well as whether or not Josh should have returned to the game following a terrifying injury in the fourth quarter, there were still some positives to take from this game. James continues to Cook from the back field and we are VERY happy to see Terrel Bernard back. We remain a team that is banged up and looking for our next win, and where better to find it than in our back yard at the Meadowlands against a similarly floundering Jets team that as of this morning no longer has a head coach? This game is turning out to be a very important Divisional game in prime time, so let’s show up in force all weekend long and cheer our team to victory! LETS GO BUFFALO!!!
We are beyond excited to welcome our team to New Jersey for our annual bout against the Jets and to host all of you all weekend long! We have a LOT of exciting things planned, so please check out all of the details below and join us for all of the fun!
Sunday Funday Mafia Welcome Party
We hope that you come join us and a bunch of Bills fans who are traveling in for the game this Sunday at Penn 6 (132 W 31st Street) for our Mafia Welcome Party! In true Mafia fashion we have a couple of ways that you can get in on the action. We’ll be gathering beginning at 12:30pm to get in as much watching of the other games as possible, with the bar’s menu and drinks available ala carte. If that’s how you want to party all day you’re welcome to do so, but beginning at 4:00pm in collaboration with Gameday Hospitality, Pennsylvania 6, Skrewball Whiskey, Happy Dad, and Buffalo Food Slut, we will also be offering a three hour all-inclusive happy hour! The happy hour is from 4:00-7:00pm and will include open bar, food, games, giveaways, and a live performance from Dom Brown! Tickets for the party are $60 and can be purchased at http://www.gamedayhospitality.com. We can’t wait to spend the day with you getting excited for Monday Night Football!!
Tailgate Details
We will be tailgating in Lot F this year like we did for the first time last year! This lot is a platinum lot, so if you want to park where we will be that’s the pass you will need. If you already have a gold parking pass, or if you want to save a bit of money, you can park in the adjacent gold lot, Lot J, and walk over. We’ve posted a map of the lots and where we will be on our social media (Instagram: @nycbillsbackers). Be sure to follow us on social media as we will drop a pin and post our exact location on Monday afternoon when we arrive. Look out for the flag with our New York City Bills Backers logo on it to find us!
Tailgating with the New York City Backers is free, thanks to the generosity of our home Pennsylvania 6! The bar is providing a large selection of grilled food, beer, seltzers, and liquor for all of us to enjoy. If you wish to show your gratitude financially we will be asking for financial donations to the PUNT Foundation. Please keep an eye out for the QR code around the tailgate to contribute! You can donate at any time at this link as well: https://give.classy.org/NYCBackers2024 We also want to shout out our partners at the Fans of Buffalo who will be joining us at the tailgate, as well as our friends from the Pinto Kenny Tailgate like Pinto Ron, Captain Buffalo, and Mama J who will also be in attendance! You do NOT want to miss this!
