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 think that it is pretty clear that the Bills will be giving Turk some more "toys to play with" going into next season, but I also think that your basic premise is correct as well: it will be up to Turk to get those new players integrated into the offense, keep T.Edwards' development as a QB on track, and get the Bills' offense turned around. A lot is going to be riding on whether Turk can get that done for the Bills next season.
Turk doesn't necessarily have to "open up" the offense--in the sense of trying to run a wide-open offense like the ats or Colts--which would be difficult to do with a second-year starting QB who still has a lot to learn and is going to have his ups and downs, but what he does have to do is diversify the offense, so that it is not as predictable, and find ways to put his skill players in a position suited to their talents where they can succeed, particularly in the red zone (Edwards did a good job as a rookie getting his team into the red zone, but he really had a hard time "closing the deal" with TDs once he got the team there and Turk has to find a way to change that so the Bills score TDs when they have the opportunity to do so.)
If Turk can get the Bills offense to put up more points, the rest of the team will benefit and be better, and that will be reflected in wins. The pressure is already on for the team to get more wins and, with the schedule that the Bills have next season, getting more wins--enough to make the playoffs--is definitely possible if Turk is able to get the offense to be more productive.
So, in that sense, it's up to Turk.
So far he is saying the right things with regard to what needs to be done and what he wants to do. Now, it will be up to him to get those problems corrected and have the team properly and efficiently execute the things that he has been saying that they need to do. We'll see if he can get that done.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.
He better have the answer for Edwards and his one TD every five games BS. Sadly our season lies on the shoulders of a second year QB who looked below average last year and a guy who's never been an OC at the NFL level. He would be a freaking legend if he could manage to get us in the top fifteen O's in the league.
