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

All this talk last week about JR possibly being cut. It looks like the WR are going to be the primary targets in our offense. JR had 1 catch for 11 yds!
Why have a 2.5 million dollar decoy? Oh well! Might as well keep him now that his salary is guaranteed since he was on the roster opening day.
The thing about the TE position, is it is very valuable for up the middle yards. Everytime Drew threw short, he was hitting his backs. The only pass play up the middle was to JR for a crucial 2nd down convert, but still over 10 yards. It still ignited the team to drive and score.
Bottom line is, if they don't throw to him, it is not his fault. The Bills look like they are trying to spark and run and gun game. JR will fit in, and earn his money, IMHO.
When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.
What are you guys, CFL fans or something, i.e. if someone doesn't get 300 yds a game & score 20 pts, you want to cut him ?
The TE position has evolved (?) over the last 5 years. The primary roles a TE has on an NFL team is to 1) be a third tackle on running plays, 2) draw the inside LB's outside to free up the middle for slants, screens, play action and draw plays and 3) to block downfield on any play.
They don't get many yds or points because plays are usually not designed to hit the TE. The only time a TE gets the ball is usually as a third option, when the QB can see that they've clearly beat the MLBs, after drawing them off. Those can go for big yardage, but are few & far between.
Before you write off TE's as non-productive....look at the yardage that Kerry Collins piled up on Thursday night against a very good SF defense. Coincidence? I think not.
Thats fine Big Doug but 2 of the things you just listed #1 and # 3 JR is not very good at! He is not a good blocker! I am sorry but it is not worth 2.5 mill to have a guy draw the inside LB outside to free up the middle for slants etc! Dave Moore could do that!
