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!
I know some of you think Crowell is not that important to the defense, but I think he remains the best playmaker the Bills have at the linebacker position and he could be a huge upgrade for the defense if he was able to play at some point this season.
I definitely do not see Ellison or anyone else on the roster as a long term replacement.
Ellison has been mediocre this season, but yesterday he became a straight-up liability. When he actually did guess right and fill the gap on running plays, he whiffed on the tackle. The guy was absolutely terrible.

And BTW, Crowell's done as a Bill.
Everyone sucked last night. Poz had his moments. We couldn't pressure Kurt with 4 that when we sent lb'ers and Db's to help them, our cb's got burned.

This DL has been exposed and owned.
For once, I totally agree with you.
I think the worst part about this game is that the formula for beating this D is now out in the open. Bill Bellicheck is probably watching the game tape today and salivating over it.

If Crowell is indeed done as a Bill, then they will need to shore up that position in the off-season - and it is not easy replacing one of the two best defenders on the team.

Agree with the first part.
Disagree with the second part.
Crowell was always a solid player for us, but he's overrated on this board and was never as dominant as some make him out to be. No doubt that he's an upgrade over Ellison and we will need to upgrade the position in the off-season. But I don't think finding a player of his caliber will be all that difficult.
