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

Edward's defense actually held a team to under 400 yds of total offense for once - Titans got 317 yds. Probably only because Hasselbeck sucks so badly - LOL
This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
per play average than the Bills' offense!
Bills do have some pretty big key injuries on D, that has to count for something.
Defense was terrible when they were healthy is the thing, we just literally had every Tom-Brady-horseshoe-up-your-ass bounce go our way, random tipped interceptions and the like. This team was still giving up 25-30+ points a game with fluke turnovers.

I will not be surprised if Tebow has more success than Peyton in the NFL.

Exactly. I've been trying to say this all season but no one wants to listen.
The DL is decent when healthy, with Williams, Dareus, and Dwan Edwards. If Carrington develops, we're in good shape, although I think we need some more rotational players because I don't think we'll ever be able to count on Troupe.
The S's are ok when healthy. Byrd is not the INT machine he was in his first season, but his tackling has improved. Wilson is at least the equal of Whitner. He's serviceable but not dominant. Searcy looks ok but he's definitely not ready to be a regular starter.
The CB's and LB's are an epic disaster. McGee's body has broken down and he's likely done in Buffalo. Florence has been solid the last couple of years but inconsistent this year, and I fear age may be catching up with him as well. McKelvin has never lived up to the hype, and I don't know what to make of Aaron Williams, but even if he turns out to be a starter, we still need at least one more serviceable starter at the position.
The OLB's provide no help in the pass rush and don't have the speed to cover receivers. The ILB's get pushed around in the running game. With the possible exception of Barnett (and Merriman if he can stay healthy), none of our LB's are NFL level starters. The fact that they are trying to use Spencer Johnson at OLB shows just how weak this unit is. Spencer was a DT in the 4-3 and is best fit at end in the 3-4. He might even be able to play some NT in obvious pass-rush situations. He's far too big and slow to be playing OLB.
I suppose they could line him up at OLB and have him put his hand in the dirt before the snap, but the problem is that it nullifies one of the key advantages of the 3-4: the ability to hide where the pressure will come from. The other team knows they won't drop Spencer into coverage, and if they do, the other team will just throw at him because he's too slow to cover.
I didn't intend for this post to be so long, but the topic got me on a roll. Long story short: Edwards sucks and scheming and doesn't seem to understand the 3-4, and the Bills' D lacks talent overall.

I agree we need LBs in the worst way but I am not ready to say Sheppard sucks. I think this guy could develop into a very high quality starter for us. We shall see next year.
