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 didn't even know this myself until I did the research earlier today for my season ending piece, but the Bills scored fewer offensive TDs and fewer Red Zone TDs than any other team in the league.
That obviously includes the Niners, Panthers, Jets, and Dolphins.
How anyone thinks that is anything but something suggesting that all kinds of people should already be fired given the money/resources spent on the offense this offseason is beyond me.

Ralphy is happy to be mediocre and that sucks for us Bills fans. I mean, if this team would at least show an interest in being a serious Super Bowl contender, then I would be OK with it. However, this organization doesn't even try.
Ultimately, 7-9 seasons is what this team should expect. There is no talent on this team. Edwards is definitely the better QB between Edwards and Losman, but he needs to obviously take it to another level next year. Where's the 2nd WR? Even Evans was a bit shady this year. For all the money spent on the O-line, how much of an improvement was there?
no...it means that Wys can post stats from here until doomsday...I want a winner...People used to quote stats all the time during the Kelly-era. Yippee!!! That didn't bring home a SB...I don't care if they have -50 yards offense every game and win 4-3 on two safeties...win...bottom line...win.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
Is anybody actually surprised at the lack of red zone production or offensive production in general? It has been an issue right from the Denver game on.

Im sorry can you please tell us about all these investments that went into the offense? Last I checked we had one of the worst offenses personnel wise in the league.

You need only to look at Dickey's history as a HC in the NFL. Every team he's had has been towards the bottom in the league in offense. It's all related to the guy coaching this team...pitiful.
It had little to do with the O-line and more to do with opposing DC's figuring-out Fairchild's schemes, no #2 WR, and a rookie QB.
we had a #2 reciever... his name is Lee Evans. what we were missing however is a #1 reciever.... and it's not hard to figure out Fairchild's schemes...
1st down: run up the middle
2nd down: run up the middle
3rd down: short pass over the middle
4th down: punt
pretty easy to figure out.....

This is debatable. His number last year with a disappointing Peerless Price (his last productive year as a #2 WR) were #1-like. And I guess I shouldn't have said #2 WR, I should have said "another WR to take the pressure off Lee." I'd rather have another guy who could BE a #1 WR if needed.

Yep. I'm convinced that every opposing (good) DC that saw the Bills on their schedule and were able to figure-out Fairchild's schemes over the off-season. I recall hearing several times afterwards how opposing players knew what the Bills were going to run based on the formation, and even Rich Gannon could tell, while calling the games.
