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

My thought is that no matter where you try to point the finger the biggest problem is the QB.
Edwards bad play set the tone for the entire game but this team would still be 1-3 with any other QB.
If you didn't notice yesterday Miami ran at will on us. This was the same proble 4 years ago so not one thing has changed and no QB is going to fix that.

You guys want a quick fix when there are mutliple problems on this team. Even if we get a QB itwon't change the bad o-line, the bad coaching, the two slow white guys on the ends, and LBs that can't stop the run.

Hey, I didn't say there wasn't other problems. Its just that QB is the biggest. Maybe the Fins wouldn't ran all over the Bills if the Bills O could have gotton some first downs. Or, some points while the game was in reach.

I agree. It seems that the reason Trent checks down so quickly and dumps the ball off, is his lack of arm strength. He just can't seem to zip the ball the way he needs to, as evidenced by a couple of his interceptions yesterday.
I think his lack of confidence is due to his lack of arm strength. Not a good combination.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I actually saw him spending alot of time looking downfield and it looked like it took him out of his own game. I'm starting to wonder what he is or isn't seeing. I'm also convinced that Lee Evans sucks.

I've been saying this for years, and no one wanted to listen. The guy cannot run a route, he is not at all physical, and his speed isn't what it used to be. Good thing that the Bills invested so much money in him.
I think Evans has been wasted here with the clown parade at QB.

1. not enough depth on the OL - yes the starting line this year was potentially a good mix and a good line for the long haul...but we have zero depth. They got thrown around yesterday. the run blocking was putrid and the pass blocking worse. No QB or RB was going succeed behind these guys yesterday
2. A close second is the QB - Edwards is either not seeing the field or his receivers are blanked. Eitherway, he's playing himself out of a starting position. When he did have time, he scanned forever and found nothing. Commentators said, "these receiverse are not open." Of course, with the tecmo bowl camera angle, we can't tell. but edwards is regressing.
3. Playcalling - The bills never in the last 10 years have called plays strategically. They don't run a couple plays to set up a nother bigger play. They just seem to run plays out there. Like they commit to the run, get yards off the run, then don't play fake. They will run to the left a bunch, but then never run a reverse to take advantage of an over reacting defense that is trying to jump ahead of the play. They don't run a couple curl routes and then follow it up with a pump and go. They need to be calling plays like a chess game instead of saying each play is its own unique entity.
4. Future problem - next year without TO, we go back to having very bad receivers again. Evans is a bum. He doesn't get open...he isn't a go to clutch receiver... Reed won't be with us next year because his contract is up. I think he's agood third down receiver....hardy still will be raw....as will johnson. So that's some good fun to look forward to next year.
