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

Also along the defensive front Jason Jefferson has been getting second team reps at nose tackle alongside McCargo the past couple of practices. It appears as though he may be making a move over Tim Anderson. Anderson still gets some second team reps here and there, but is also seeing reps on the third team of late.
Here's a link to the rest of the notes (toward the bottom of the page)
As Bills top pick Marshawn Lynch stepped out onto the practice field at St. John Fisher Friday, Bills running backs coach Eric Studesville was right on his shoulder. He remained there for the next 15 minutes as he tried to give Lynch a quick refresher course on the offense.
"He was just letting me look over the script a little and get the terminology going back in my brain and clicking with the ones and twos with what we have to do," said Lynch. "The play calling mainly."
Lynch participated in individual drills, but did not take a single rep in an extended 7-on-7 segment Friday morning. However, while watching the other backs take the reps Lynch was focused in and actually mimicking the motions that fit the play call.
"I missed that first practice so I just have to get back into it," said Lynch.
The Bills versatile back had just two carries in 11-on-11 and didn't see much action, and actually had a mental error on the first running play he had. That's why the plan is to ease him back in so he can pick things up naturally instead of being overloaded.
Two plays later a bobbled pass by Josh Reed was pulled out of the air by Keith Ellison for an interception and what would have likely been a touchdown. Ellison now has three interceptions in as many practices.
On Parrish's "return" he immediately sprinted on an angle to his right. Respecting Parrish's speed Aiken went out in the same direction to close the space. For a moment Aiken's view of Parrish was blocked by the "blocker" player in between the two. That was all Parrish needed. By the time Aiken saw Parrish again he had already passed him. Parrish had doubled back making a hard cut in the other direction behind his "blocker" and Aiken was left standing there by himself with no one to wrap up. Hoots and hollers were heard across the practice field after that rep.
McCargo appears to be pretty sound with his run game assignments and is not drawing the ire of defensive line coach Bill Kollar who is praising him more than anything these first two days.
Hopefully McCargo pans out, as we could really use him stepping up!

I like those tidbits too...
More picks, and McCargo back in the lineup, and especially Parrish's play, I really hope he get's to play more WR like he want's to, he's a playmaker that needs the rock more than he's getting.
I wouldn't be reading too much into those reports Alex without running it through some people here who can read into articles. Chris Brown might be lying.
