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

The real danger I see is that his performance declines further, and he, like all guys before him, refuses to believe it. That's when the blame flies and things gets ugly.
Did Jerry Rice play into his 40s? Maybe TO is one of those rare breed in Rice's category.
Having watched every Dallas game last season, the reports of the decline in his play from last year are greatly exaggerated. I think the "decline" was more of a product of a miss utilized offense that featured a mess of an protection scheme, the lack of a running game, and miscast wideouts. Jason Garrett's offense was pretty terrible most of the season.
Of course, the Bills may have had the worst offensive gameplanning, and coaching in general, last season.
TO is the last person I worry about losing steps...His conditioning is amazing!

Can we agree Andre Reed was in his prime in 91? That is the only season he had double digit touchdowns.
Well he had 81 receptions, 1100 yards receiving and 10 TD's for 13.7 yards a reception.
Last year TO had 69 receptions 1050 yards receiving and 10 TD's for 15.2 yards per reception.
If TO's decline is pretty equal to one of Andre Reeds best years, then I think we are doing OK.
You cant compare todays football with football of the 90's! 1000 yard rushers back in the 90s made you an elite RB, 1500+ yards rushing makes you elite these days. Pro Bowl Qbs completed just above 50% of their passes, nowadays if your not completing 60%+ you may not be in the league very long!
I have to believe that it is a concern on Cowboys mind.
Granted, he's coming from a much higher level than anyone we have ever had, including Andre Reed. I just want to point out that bad things usually happen with him when the things don't work out as planned. And how many times things has gone as they envisioned for the Bills?

He could lose 3 steps and he would still be the best WR on the Bills.
