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!
6-10 to 8-8 team.
This may change if we can devolp a little more agrresive passing game and a bettr run defense.

No doubt this team still needs work, particularly on Run D and the offensive passing game.
But they have shown a lot more talent than I expected and they should be able to hang with every team on the schedule. I still think it would take a miracle for them to make the playoffs, but a few months ago I thought 6 wins would be a miracle. After watching the first two games, I think 7-9 wins is a realistic expectation. The biggest thing will be executing and not making mistakes: if we turn the ball over and get dumb penalties, we'll lose most of the games. If we can win the turnover battle and avoid big penalties, we'll be flirting with 500.

I think we are seeing the difference in coaching in just a couple weeks on the field. I also think GW was not that bad of a coach he just made some rookie coach mistakes on the field that beat us...but his teams were ready to play and I like his prospects to become a good coach in the league someday. Malarkey on the other hand...well how the hell could TD have hired a guy with no experience named Malarkey after the last couple coaches I just don't know. But that was his downfall right there because this team has a fair amount of talent.
I think we will see the Bills open up the passing game some this Sunday. I think the coaching staff has intentionally brought JP along slowly. Basically waiting for this game to open things up.
I think they are more interested in winning football games that JP airing it out. Unless we're behind two TDs with ten minutes left we're going to stick with developing our running game and attacking the short field. There will be some deep shots and we're going to nail some soon but this is never going to turn into an "air it out" offense.

I don't think I suggested it would be an "air it out" offense. I am suggesting that the play calling will be a little less conservative than the first two weeks. There will come a time when the Bills will need to score 16 points to win a game. JP needs to continue developing so he is prepared when that time comes.
6-10. I remember a year where N.O.(?) lost 6 or 7 games by less than a TD and I believe 4 of them where by a field goal or less. They hung in every game but lost them. I see the Bills the same way good enough to compete in most games and keep us involved, but a few ticks away from winning them.
Face facts, Brady didn't have a good game and squeeked out a win, Miami just couldn't get in sinc with Culpepper. So far the barameter is The Bills can compete and even win a game against good but struggling teams
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.
