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 didnt know things were moving along so seriously and quickly for Fairchild and Colorado St. Last I heard he was simply a candidate, but now it appears he is actually going to get the job.
I know this is music to many people's ears, but do you think this in any way will set us back for 2008? Also, who are realistic (not necessarily ideal) possibilities to replace him? Someone within our current staff?
it wouldn't kill me to see him leave. such a big deal was made of JP coming into his 2nd year with the same o coordinator and system and he wasnt any better. Also with Trent being a Stanford guy, he should be fairly smart and be able to pick up a new offense fairly quickly. and Dick Jauron seems loyal to his staff so I would think that he would promote from within.
Anytime you hire a new coordinator, unless he comes inside the organization and implements the same schemes, there is a step back because everyone needs to learn the new system. However, the Bills coach that most fans are critical of is Fairchild. His playcalling has been very questionable most of the year. I don't think many of us will shed a tear if he goes.
Sometimes, you need to take a step back in order to take two steps forward.
Your play calling is limited when you are working with a rookie QB and a vet that plays like a rookie.
Bring back the K-Gun!
Kelly was perhaps best known for running the Bills' "K-Gun" no-huddle offense, which was a fast-paced offense that denied opposing defenses the opportunity to make timely substitutions. This offensive scheme called for multiple formation calls in a huddle, so that after each play was completed, the Bills would eschew a following huddle, instead lining up for the next play where Kelly would read the defense and audible the play. This led to mismatches and defensive communication breakdowns and, in the 1990s, established the Bills as one of the NFL's most successful and dangerous offenses, instrumental in leading Buffalo to four consecutive Super Bowl appearances.
T-Gun, Trent certainly has the brains and poise to do it.
Unless the Bills get a top notch receiving Tight End and two more WR's, the K-Gun won't work.
Jim Kelly has no coaching experience. There is no reason to think he could be an OC. Calling plays during a game is much different from game planning and developing an offensive system.
Not to mention, he has said numerous times he is not interested in coaching.

Marv Levy had no GM experience, coaching a team is much different than running one.
If we're going to stick with the Cover 2, which it looks like we are, the best offense is one that eats a lot of time up with long, sustained drives. I like Minnesota's model, and I think we have the necessary ingredients to improve on it. Lynch/Wright/Jackson getting 40+ carries a game and a top-flight possession receiver to go with Evans would be the most ideal situation in my opinion. Whatever coordinator would be willing to run something close to that would be alright with me.
