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!

Bills to be without Parrish & Merriman Saturday in Denver
WR Roscoe Parrish (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Denver Broncos. Parrish was extremely limited at Thursday afternoon's practice, only taking part in a few individual reps.
OLB Shawne Merriman will miss Saturday's preseason game, coach Chan Gailey said. Merriman has missed time with what is believed to be a minor groin injury. "It's precautionary," Gailey said. "I think if it was a (regular season) game, he could play."
Re: Bills to be without Parrish & Merriman Saturday in Denver
Precaution is smart on Gailey's part. Merriman is an NFL Vet. At this point in his career, what you see is what you get with him. Some work is important for playing shape, knocking some rust off, etc. But, save him for the season where what he does on the field actually counts. JMO

roscoe has an 8 game maximum, and that's when he was just a punt returning specialist.
he shows flashes but he can't make it through a season being a top 3 WR on a team. but if evans got a 4th, we might have to pay another team to take roscoe.

At least we'll get to see what our defense looks like without Merriman. Let's hope we still have a decent pass rush.
Merriman or no, I think Dareus and Williams and whomever else they team with them, 3-4 or 4-3, are gonna wreak havoc no matter what (though I do want a healthy Merriman in there).
I gotta wonder though if now is still the time to keep Moats at ILB. I know the coaches know more than I do when it comes to who fits where, but he seems to have some pass rushing ability and with the high probability that Merriman probably has a (minor or not) injury or two this year, we'll need someone coming in off that weak side off Dareus or Williams. Moats seems like he might fit the bill (no pun intended) well.
Then again I suppose there's nothing to say on passing downs Moats won't be used in that context. I just have little faith/knowledge in the guys behind Merriman.
