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

"Anybody that has been a part of this team this year or spent time around us knows the impact Dick Jauron has had on all of our lives. All the adversity we experienced, he's been at the forefront leading by example, helping us to go back to work each day and not feel sorry for ourselves. Ask any guy on this roster, top to bottom, unanimously you have people saying they love playing for Dick Jauron and hope and pray he's back next year."
SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT HE COULD BE FIRED????????????????????????????? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think MArv left making sure Dick is safe at least for another year. The fact that Marv is getting Dick involved in the transition to the next GM means that Dick will have an input. Otherwise, Ralphy would've hired the GM without any input from Dick and let the next GM decide just like when he hired TD.

Yeah thats exactly what this team needs,,, lets get a new GM, HC, OC , DC, offensive scheme and defensive scheme and just blow the whole thing up right now!

How would that help anything???
Because people typically relate new to being something different and better. All things considered think Jauron's safe for 2008 regardless of who the new GM is. However beyond that it's anyone's guess. Though the choice of OC could prove interesting.
Guys here's the thing. The talent level on this team isn't up to par. You bring in some talent and we'll have a good time. Sure, it's there is spots, rb/o-line, defensive backs, but...look at what he did with this team. It could have been a lot worse and to be honost, under any other coach, we could have been seeing this team as close to the Dolphins. He gets every player on that team to play it's hardest and never let up, the players love him and they play for him. You bring in talent and put that together with the same attitude as the players have here under Jauron, we have ourselves a team to love for a long time...
I think he's both. His biggest fault this season, in my opinion, is not meddling enough. He allowed Fairchild to continue with the atrocious playcalling and wanted to avoid micro-managing. This is nice to an extent, but it went beyond "staying out of it" to the point that it hurt.
As a leader, I think the guy is great. He's not a screamer and a spitter like some coaches, but that's not the key to success either. A leader gets guys to put forth their best effort. I don't care if the personality is Parcells/Cowher/Gruden or Belichick/Dungy/Reid. There are greatly contrasting styles and all have succeeded in this league.
Whether the talent is there or not, and whether or not you like his style, the players are willing to run through a brick wall for Dick Jauron. That's one major sign of a leader. Where he lacks is in not being stern with his assistants. At least that's how it appears to me. I obviously don't know what goes on behind the scenes. If we by some miracle get a good GM and good OC, I see no reason this team can't succeed. We already know the players will fight for Jauron and that's huge. They still have a few glaring holes of course - a TE, a BIG WR, a FB, an interior OL and a BIG DT.

He went down with his OC in Chicago. I wonder if he would've fired Fairchild if Fairchild decided to stay with the bills.
