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!
I honestly do NOT put that on Jauron, did you see that ****ing ref telling him it was incomplete for sure? He even signaled his hands to show incomplete.
They are throwing this game for Taylor. May god rest his soul but WHAT THE **** seriously? This is football. I'm sorry the guy lost his life tragically but life goes on.
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
Didn't you get the memo, Jauron was Coach of the Week. That means he's incredible and the team is coming along.
I disappointed at all of the negativity on the boards today. I mean it's so easy to see that the Ivy League Dynamic Duo has a plan and that we'll be in the playoffs next season.
Now this. This is no way to support your team people!
I'm pretty sure the ref told him he couldn't challenge that play. I don't know why though... there's nothing to say you can't review that play. There was no whistle. Hell, they reversed initial judgment. He should have thrown the flag and at least forced the head umpire to explain it.

WHY NO CHALLENGE ON ELLISON FORCED FUMBLE: Early in Sunday's game Keith Ellison appeared to strip Chris Cooley of the ball after making an intermediate reception, which he recovered. The officials initially ruled it a catch and fumble and signaled that Buffalo had possession. But after conferring on the field together the officials overturned their initial call and ruled it incomplete. Replay clearly showed that Cooley had made the catch and got three steps down before the fumble.
So I asked Dick Jauron why he did not challenge the ruling. Here's his answer.
“If you challenge it you cannot get the ball because they already ruled it an incompletion," said Jauron. "What would happen if we challenge that play, I believe they could rule it a completion and they could get the ball at that point. So there were certainly a lot of reasons for us not to challenge. You don’t want to challenge that one. Clearly the back judge thought he saw him bobble it. It was initially ruled a completion and a fumble, and then they overruled it on the field and called it an incompletion. If they had ruled it a completion, but not a fumble then we could have challenged it and got the ball.”
So because the final ruling on the field was an incompletion, challenging for a fumble is not an option because the only change to a play ruled incomplete is a completed pass and that would not have benefited the Bills in any way.
Awwww.......
Looks like Jauron was right and others were wrong.
