Kicking off Highlights and lowlights from the Buffalo Bills official 2008 year-end review:
Excluding the "home" game in Toronto, Buffalo ranked 7th in the 32-team NFL in average home attendance (71,405).
The Bills have sold out 42 of their past 47 home games and 59 of 71 since 2000. That's impressive considering the team did not reach the playoffs during that span.
QB Trent Edwards' .655 completion percentage (245 of 374) was second-best in team history .... He was 3rd in the NFL in passer rating in the fourth quarter (106.3), behind only Tony Romo (114.7) and Philip Rivers (111.7) .... He had 4 fourth-quarter winning comebacks (a team record).
The Bills are 10-0 when Edwards has a passer rating of at least 80.0 (including 7-0 in 2008) in games he has at least 20 pass attempts.
LB Paul Posluszny led the team with 129 total tackles. DE Ryan Denney was second with 94.
Denney and Kawika Mitchell led the Bills with 4 sacks .... The Bills were outsacked 38-24 .... If there is a pass-rushing defensive end or linebacker available with the No. 11 overall pick in April's college draft, the Bills should seriously consider taking him.
The defensive unit had 97 negative yardage plays, second only to Tennessee (109) in the AFC.
Ranked 14th in the NFL in total defense (31st in 2007 and 18th in 2006).
