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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Anyone else think Randy McMichael should be a Bill?
Anyone else think Randy McMichael should be a Bill?
I hate to say it but i would luv to see Randy McMichael as a Bill, he is a great offensive weapon and if u pair him up with Royal and Cszeilak that would make for a great TE trio, i have no faith in Everett what so ever, and Randy would be lookin to show the Dolphins they made a mistake, he is only 27 and the dimensions he would bring to this team would be awesome
He has the size and speed to stretch the feild or go underneath
Could be the Redzone TE that we sorely need, and JP saftey valve..
Re: Anyone else think Randy McMichael should be a Bill?
I don't...I have no respect for a wife beater and to want to want him as a Bill would be hypocritical on my part...I want good players but not at the expense of having a wife beater on our team. I could not cheer for him.
Re: Anyone else think Randy McMichael should be a Bill?
I think he's a really good TE, but not necessarily a good character guy. Occasionally, though, maybe we should just overlook a player's character flaws, and go with the talent.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Re: Anyone else think Randy McMichael should be a Bill?
While I do think McMichael is one of the best pass catching TE's in the league. Over 200 catches in his last three seasons. I dont see him fitting the system we have in place, plus he's a thug. I think he beat his wife twice in the same month or something. He will be an asset for someone, just dont want it to be us.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

As Seinfeld said; We cheer for laundry. If McMichael were in Buffalo and caught 60 balls for 600 yards and 5 TD's, everybody would love him.
The wife-beater thing is unacceptable if that's true. The bigger part of me believes it is true, but honestly - why do I feel that way? The eye-witnesses didn't actually see him hit her, she said the hit occurred when he was tossing her stuff out of the car, and the prosecutors straight up dropped the charges. There obviously wasn't enough evidence, even with witnesses, to charge him. Sooooo, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt at the very least. Even if the wife asked them not to press charges, the prosecutors still could if there was enough evidence.

Re: Anyone else think Randy McMichael should be a Bill?
I'd rather fill our more pressing needs. Don't get me wrong, he's a better catching TE than anyone we've got but I'd rather grab a wr. If our OL lives up to it's potential, our TE's won't have to block as much and instead get open.

I use "McWifeBeater" simply to rub Carppies the wrong way. It really sounded more like a nasty domestic dispute than that the guy actually smacked his wife around.
What I have against McMichael is that while he's caught a lot of passes, he's dropped key passes that have cost the Carp wins over the years. Most Miami fans will tell you that (well, maybe not FTP). I don't think he's particularly good as a blocker, either. I think it's easier to teach a blocking TE who's not a half bad receiver (Royal) to drag his feet near the sideline than it is to teach a receiving TE how to catch the ball in clutch situations. In other words, I don't think you teach "clutch", a player either is or isn't, and McMichael isn't.
The Bills have only had 17 playoff years and 19 winning seasons in 47 years. 9 of those playoff years and 10 of those winning seasons -- and the 4 Super Bowl appearances -- came in the 15 years when Bill Polian and John Butler were Bills GMs ... and Ralph Wilson fired them both.
