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 http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/forum/feedback-forums/billszone-q-a/6521455-upgrade-report-bugs-here

Re: Not Challenging The 4th And Inches Spot

I wondered the same thing. I thought they got a bad spot and should have at least rolled the dice on it. That was a huge play. Jauron is a bonehead who is in waay too far over his head plain and simple.

The Bills got plenty of generous spots yesterday. We just sucked, plain and simple.

That would have been a good challenge. In addition, there was a TV time-out on the change of possession so there was PLENTY of time to review it.

The catch was a stupid challenge, and very impulsive.

That's why he's 1-6 on the year.

all the spots didn't matter like this one. We're talking about seven points here really. It's pathetic we can't demand those yards but still I thought the spot clearly should have been reviewed...especially with jaron admitting he challenges when he feels like taking a chance. Only an idiot wouldn't challenge this play...and it's like they scrambled and poorly challenged that catch a few plays later to hopefully make up for their boneheadedness.

We were destined to lose this game when:

a) Any smart coach would have put the 3 points on the board from the 7 yard line to make it a 3 point game.

b) Not tried an incredibly stupid fake punt, deep in our own end, only down by 6 with plenty of time on the clock.

c) Making sure that Trent undertsands that getting any points in the red-zone is better than taking a chance and giving the other team 7.

I disagree about the fake punt. They didn't just run that to be risky. They saw a way to exploit the JESTS and they did that. Too bad there was a penalty.

That play was inches from giving the Jets the game early in the 3rd QTR. Maybe the dumbest call of the year.

You realize that play gave the Jets the ball back at mid-field which allowed them to make it a two score game?

Um... you mean after the fake punt worked (well, would have)?

No it didn't. You talk like they didn't get the first down on that fake punt. The only reason it wasn't a first down for the Bills was because there was a penalty on the play. The reason they ended up at midfield was because Morman shanked the punt, plain and simple.

Yes. Due to the fact we called a fake punt that would have worked we ended up punting anyways, thus proving the fake punt was a dumb call.
