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!
PRACTICE UPDATE: Marshawn Lynch was not at practice and is not participating. Aaron Schobel was also absent from practice. Robert Royal was in attendance, but not participating coming off his mild concussion. Dick Jauron compared Royal's situation to that of John DiGiorgio, so Royal will likely practice Thursday as DiGiorgio did last week. ---
The thing that worries me is there is no explanation. Usually Chris Brown will throw something in there.
I've never seen the Bills be so secretive about an injury before. I was thinking last night that maybe they're trying to keep the info. from the Pats or something.
Then hand the ball to Wright. The guy is talented.
I like that... ATrain is so limited and Wright probably wouldn't even fully comprehend the magnitude of the game. He would just be going on adrenaline all night. Hopefully Lynch can go... if he can't, give the ball to Wright and show them how good the Bills draft really was.
I wouldn't be opposed to Wright taking the pill if it comes down to that. It seems to me that we'll need Lynch available if we're going to have any chance of winning this one though.
Considering Lynch is our whole offense most of the time, yeah, we're screwed. Lynch was JP's crutch when he was doing horrible, and it's almost guaranteed JP is going to have a rough time against the Pats, but without Lynch grinding out yards, I hope everyone is ok with getting used to seeing ATrain up the middle for no gain again and again and again
Bills coach Dick Jauron held a conference call with the New England media this afternoon (1:45 p.m.) and was asked how RB Marshawn Lynch has responded physically after injuring his ankle against the Dolphins on Sunday.
"He's real sore, we'll just have to see as we move along here, but we're not particularly optimistic about it," Jauron said.
Jauron was asked about the Bills' depth at running back if Lynch is unable to suit up against the Patriots.
"You're always going to miss a talent like Marshawn. Every week he appears to me to be getting better," he said. "He's such an easy guy to have around, he's a hard worker, and he's a tough guy. He has a lot of talent. Let's face it, we didn't draft him that high because we didn't think he had it. Then we have Anthony Thomas, who has been in the league and is a solid performer, a really good football player. Dwayne Wright, who we just drafted this year, and then Freddy Jackson who we got from NFL Europe a year ago, this is his second year with us. So we're working at it and looking forward to their opportunity to play, and I know they are. We'll see how it goes."
