All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

According to ESPN, Just ahead of 49ers Lions, Raiders and Titans. Funny they have the Texans at 24 hahaha. Also the Redskins at #3 and Arizona at 11. What a joke.
Id say we are better than them atleast. What do you guys think?
Depends on who our starting QB is going to be. JP will probably get the nod. Then it's a matter of seeing how well he performs.
i need to see some preseason action before i can come to any conclusions.
i hope and pray we are better than the Texans.

Well, let's see. The Texans grabbed the best DE in the draft who will contribute immediately and had tons of sack stats unlike his former teammate that we drafted in round 1.
They also got two of the top OL prospects. We didn't draft a lineman until round 5.
They signed Ephraim Salaam whose about in the same category as Fowler at worst. They signed Mike Flanagan whose better than any lineman we have. You can put them down, but then what do you say about our horrid non-improved line? They will fill in until Winston and Spencer are ready.
They signed Moulds while we signed Price. Hmmm. I wonder which one made a better signing.
They weren't good last season, but neither were we. They seem to have made more moves to address their biggest weaknesses. We made moves, but our biggest weaknesses, like theirs, were the lines. They did something about while we didn't.
On the DL they drafted Mario Williams, we drafted McCargo. Which is the better upgrade?
They picked up Anthony Weaver in free agency, we got Tripplett. Weaver's better than Tripplet and has more playing experience in the same number of seasons and has posted better numbers.
They picked up Flanagan and Salaam in free agency to our getting Gibson, Fowler, and Reyes. Salaam is the worst of theirs and is as good as any of ours.
In the draft, they got two of the top linemen. We once again began reaching in the lower rounds.
I think you can figure out why the Texans were ranked higher.

I think when you're 5-11 the year before, you cut loose three veterans, have an unsettled QB situation, a new head coach, two new coordinators and a first time GM at 80 years old, a 28th preseason ranking is justified until they show otherwise.

Repeating the same couple things is pointless. And Moulds was traded to Houston.
As for drafting McCargo and Houston drafting Williams....what the hell. I'm sure if the Bills had the 1st overall pick they would have taken someone else over McCargo.
Houston should be dropped a mandatory 5 spots for passing on Reggie Bush. Dumbest move ever. And then their GM quits.

I've heard some speculation that Mario owes a good deal of his sacks to John McCargo needing to be double teamed on a regular basis. DEs will always get more sacks than DTs. DEs get to work in more space.
I really don't know why every one is so high on Reggie Bush...
Yeah, I know he's good, but if you've already got a 1,000 + yard back (Domanick Davis) wouldn't it make more sense in going after a player that can make your whole Defense (which was horrible - after all WE scored 22 points on them) better.
Arizona at 11 is very believable to me... that team will be one to watch out for this year. They weren't god awful last year and now they've added Edgerrin James to balance out the attack with Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, two of the top young recievers in the league. Now Kurt Warner is nothing special to me and I wouldn't even be surprised to see Leinart take over the team before long. If all falls in to place like it could there, 11 is completely attainable in that fairly weak division. I'd say 9-7 wouldn't be unlikely at all for Arizona.

I always say that too, but when Sept. fever hits, it all goes out the door...
