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!
This is only a test
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

ok, I guess I'm not the only one who thought getting rid of Price was a dumb move. Pats fans around here think it wasn't wise either, including the best football coach around here! Although I disagreed with him when he said Price was better than Moulds, he has a valid question, which is...
Who's going to replace the speed that Price had?
I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
we are not going to be a pass oriented offense anymore.. most teams dont have 2 stud wrs.. we have moulds.. henry will get the ball more.. and reed will step in and do fantastic..
who the hell cares what a NE fan think.. lol

Mybills, I too am dissapointed about losing the speed of Price. BUt I think Reed will be a decent replacement, and i hope we can get another decent WR.
But answer me this: if you had to pick between Price and Spikes, who would you pick? I would take spikes.
These "fans" make it seem as if the Bills had a choice. Price made it very clear that he did not want to remain in Buffalo. I think we can all agree with Tom's call to not pay 2 WR primetime money. That would simpy be cap ludicrous. TD persued with the best interst of the team and even selflessly worked with Atlanta's front office to get the deal done. Price should be thankful for the depth of profesionalism this team possess.
We now have a #1 pick in the draft this year(even after trading it for Bledsoe last year)....We instantly beefed up the D, and now TD is filling in the appropriate holes to solidify an already playoff caliber team. If the Bills had to pay the 5.5 to Price for one year of play time, the defense would have suffered miserably.
It's all a big chess game. Sometimes you have to sacrifice the rook in order to check the king.
The NE fans are trying to justify losing their REAL QB. They need to point at another team and try to expose them for mistakes the Patriots have actually commited. Simple projection. We all do it all the time in order to make ourself feel better.
Not to worry, we'll find somebody.
Maybe the replacement:
a. Has more maturity and is less flag prone.
b. Puts out a more consistent performance week-week/year- year, not just contract years.
c. Blocks adequately, or even at all.
d. Spends his time preparing for the next play instead of trash talking for three hours.
e. Is more team oriented and less egocentric.
Whomever he is, he has already made one important contribution. He's allowed us to be serious players in the FA'gency market, and from where I sit, thats been a pretty good contribution so far.
Giving more carries to Henry would be the worst thing we could possibly do for the future of this team ... he already had a huge workload last year and if we give him the ball significanlty more this year, i guarantee in two or three years time he'll be struggling to hit 1200 yards per year ... ask any Colts fan what it feels like to burn a RB out by the time his 4th year comes around.

I think you are the only person who does not think that Henry was underutilized last year. This is the smartest thing we will ever do. The road to the super bowl begins with good rushing and Defense. We just about got our D fixed now we have to work on our running attack which even though did well last year could have been a lot better. Sorry I must disagree and I am sure many others do to.
Get all the fools on your side and you can be elected to anything.

Henry received far fewer carries than he sould have. We're asking for 25 carries per game, not 40. Your 1st running back should always average 25-30 carries. This isn't a "burnout" load, it's average!
I agree TedMock, IMO Henry doesen't really get going until he has had at least 15-20 carries or so. He can definately handle a heavier load next season.
Henry averaged only 22 carries! That was an average!
He had over 30 carries only twice and over 22 only three more times. He had 15 or fewer carries in 6 games and less than 20 carries in 8 games, or half our season.
No one is saying he should run the ball 40 times a game as TedMock said, but dropping back to throw nearly 45 times a game on average has got to change.
Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!
Between Henry and Bledsoe we had approximately a 2-1 play ratio. That's ridiculous and won't get us anywhere. We need to close that down to 55/45 or so. Say we run 60 plays, 32 pass, 28 run is a good goal on average. Obviously games in which we're ahead late we run more and games in which we're behind, LOL, we pass more.

No one in the league averages 25 carries a game. I would doubt more than a handful in history have. That's 400 carries. Two players averaged just under 24 I think last year, which led the league. LT and RW.

LOL, we pass more.
