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

Well, he saved the tie from happening and the block overall gave us the win last night, so...
Our STs are fine. There's not even any need to dote on them until we fall several spots from our now perennial #1 status.
What should concern all Bills fans is not what happened or did not happen with our backups vs. the Saint roster cut players and backups, but how our 1st teams performed.
The Saint D is not good. Yet, we couldn't even amass 50 net yards in two drives. Defensively we let them drive all over us and at least one TD may have been prevented due to Saint errors, not good D.
Wins/losses in preseason have no meaning whatsoever. You know that.
Forget Fred Jackson. If Lynch doesn't get going at some point, we're screwed offensively. Poz looked good, but how well will he play vs. a first team O? Hopefully well, but behind our DTs he can't possibly render us a solid rushing D.
The Saints moved the ball virtually at will on us which just isn't good since that's what teams did all of last season including late in the season.
Why is it that when someone makes an obvious observation around here that if isn't "god we are awesome" than people lose their minds. First game or not it is what it is.
Rewatch the game. Walker blocked a punt but we brought him in to block on the right side. He didn't look good and gives up half way through on every play.
While we are at it, McCargo is a piece of crap, at this point. But don't worry because he'll be a pro-bowler in 4 weeks.
And the momentum of us winning every game this season will help us forget that DiGiorgio, Shaud, Webster and Leonard were all awful.

Yes, after 2 drive of the 1st "pre" season game it is over. Somebody pull up 2008 available F/A and Draft boy start spitting out those mocks we should be on the clock any minute now! Good grief, get a life!

Consider the source(s). It's apparent these guys didn't see the game (it wasn't on in most markets) and are going by the stat sheet, yet again.
WRT Walker, how many sacks did he give up? How many times did they run to his side? How many blitzes and stunts did the Saints run compared to the Bills, in THEIR dome, that is among the noisiest places in the NFL? How many penalties did he commit?
As for McCargo, how many rushing yards did the Saints have, outside of that 3rd down draw play where the DT's were lined-up between the guards and tackles? And again, how many blitzes and stunts did the Bills run? Where were Schobel and Whitner?
Just take a look at the Saints last weekend for any quesions as to why a team might not look so hot their 1st pre-season game. But I can bet you that there are Saints fans freaking out WORSE than you (not abf) guys, after their 5th overall scoring offense, which got better over the off-season, scored a whole 3 points (make it 6 if you want, ignoring Walker's blocked FG) against the "lowly" Bills' defense, that was without 2 of their best players.
I'll give you that Webster was brutal and that the pass defense wasn't there, but again, the Saints ran a lot of mis-direction plays. And yet again, they STILL only scored 3/6 points, despite playing to win.
BTW Wys, I sent you an e-mail about the bet. Yet STILL no answer. Sorry bud but it's NOT an oversight anymore. So the bet is the O/U and the winner gets 1,680 ZB's and leaves the board for 2 months. If you want to bet money, send ME a PM. It's not hard. Otherwise I'll take it to be what I originally though as a case of you avoiding the bet.
