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

I'm sick of the announcers everywhere saying that basically the Skins would have won if Gibbs hadn't called the second timeout.
Did he make the FG easier? Sure. But before the first TO, Lindell kicked it from that distance just fine.
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
The fact that team was even able to play semi-inspired for any part of the game given the situation is testament to the kind of guy and coach Gibbs is.
Many teams would've lost 40-0 today in those circumstances, in which case would be understoood. Nobody should undervalue the impact that murder had on this team.

I don't think anyone is doing that, pat. I think the Skins played really well today, I credit them for that, but say, hey, the Bills won, Gibbs did a no-no (understandable, but still a no-no), and I think that we would have won anyways. Lindell is pretty awesome.

Or overvalue it.
Stuff happens. People do their jobs.
Gibbs sucked today.
They ran wild with Cooley/Moss in the first half, and other than a TD drive in the third, sucked the entire second half, including totally screwing up the last possessions, on both sides of the ball.
Nothing in the second half had anything to do with Taylor.
Gibbs is a great guy and a hall of famer, from another era.

Football is a game of energy and conditioning and momentum.
you don't think barely practicing or preparing for this game all week had anything to do with their second-half slowdown?
I'm not taking anything away from the Bills (and btw I'm not defending Gibb's **** up)-- but I'm sure the Redskins were affected by this.
Even Campbell said after the game at times everyone was into it and at times guys seemed to be in another world with their thoughts.
I don't know about anyone else; but it's not just "do your job" when someone like a brother to you is gunned down at 24 years old.
You dont think the Kevin Everett injury effected the Bills at all vs Pittsburgh?
What I think, Pat, is that they had plenty of energy and plenty of focus, and I don't think that a single mistake was result of their tragedy.
In fact, I can't remember a game that I have attended away from the Ralph that there was more energy and feed off of a bad situation.
The point is that Gibbs screwed this up.
He gets a A+ for his handling from Monday through Sat night, but today they are supposed to do what they are paid to do.
They played against a rookie quarterback who was just recently named a starter.
Was using its third string d2 running back.
Has linebacker and DB problems that are very significant.
Has no effective tight ends.
Did not score a touchdown.
They were at home, with extreme positive emotion.
They had a shot at the playoffs.
They have an extremely highly paid staff.
They had a TE and WR that were tearing us up in the first half.
They didn't punt until people forgot about them punting.
They had the ball with a first down against a team with two timeouts and ran three straight times, inside the two minute warning, when they were unable to run the entire game, then punted to one of the most dangerous return guys/team in the NFL.
They looked silly and confused when it mattered, and made an unbelievably stupid call.
I can't wait until the league implements the rule that you can't call any TOs just to ice the kicker...they used to call TOs with plenty of time before the kick...now they are trying to call it a millisecond before the snap...at some point a whistle is going to blow just as a kicker is going through his motion and, somehow, he will get injured...
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
