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!
I feel like it's high time I took a leap of faith and proclaimed that we're ready.
The talent is there. Chan Gailey seems competent (even though I hated hiring him).
The players seem to buy into the philosophy.
We're due.
It's like that old photo of the rusty old van that is spotted around Buffalo occasionally that has the phrase "The Bills Will Rise Again" brushed along the side.
I think whoever the old nut who owns that van is due to be correct for once.

I was banned for calling Yardie a coward, by DB, in a tread about women’s issues happening right now in America. Nothing better than republican men silencing women’s voices, especially in the Buffalo Spin zone!!

I just LOVE Tebow. A lot! And I hope he gets in there!
That's what she said?
Also, I have a bad feeling about this game. The Jets have had our number. While I think they have a terrible team, I don't like our chances. But I will still be watching and hoping and wishing and cheering while at work. GO BILLS.

Well if he is struggling she could always help ;-)
The Bills should have snatched him up!

Good luck to you Buffalo Bill fans here in 2012. This is by far, our strongest Jets defense to date under the Rex Ryan era. Heading into our 4th season with Ryan running show show with 3 consecutive seasons of top 5 defense. Drafted an absolute stud in Quinton Coples; kid led the entire NFL in both sacks (4.5) and Forced Fumbles (2) during the preseason. LaRon Landry is by far, the most talented Safety we've had in quite some time. Landing Bell, a solid Safety in which knows the AFC East opposite of Landry is scary. Our rookie last season in Wilkerson had a stand out rookie season as a 3-4 Defensive End. Has the potential to become the best overall Jets defensive player outside of Darrelle Revis. Speaking of Revis, this secondary is featuring 4 first round draft picks. All real talents in Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie, Kyle Wilson and now LaRon Landry (who had a strong offseason followed by a great preseason). 4 defensive first round draft picks floating around our secondary; If Buffalo can not establish a forceful rushing attack, Fitzpatrick will without question; have his hands full with this Jets defense. This front 7 will become stout against the run here in 2012 as well. No question about it. The strongest front 7 we've ever seen under coach Ryan. Which is scary considering the fact we've ranked top 5 each and every season Ryan's been here. Wilkerson, Ellis, Coples, Pace, Harris, Scott and Maybin can become something special. Especially once Pouha emerges into the picture at 3-4 NT/4-3 DT. Bryan Thomas, a strong edge setter has returned from injury. Has always been stout against the run. We've drafted an extremely talented IMLB in Demario Davis. Even DeVito has developed into a very strong defensive role player; especially against the run.
This defense is loaded to say the least. Our defenses were very good during consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances; but the talent level, ability, potential and pure defensive fire power goes through the roof this season. It's a Rex Ryan led and/or re-vamped defense. If Tebow can add another element of offensive success as a mack-truck rusher? This offense features young talent. We'll now feature a Tony Sparano led Wildcat (Gator) formation with Tim Tebow as the center piece. A true dual threat, which is something we never really had with Brad Smith. Tebow rushing behind an All-World/All-Pro Center in Mangold could become a dream come true for Tebow who's enjoyed great success rushing the football over the past two seasons. Holmes, Keller, Greene, McKnight and Kerley... All of these kids can make plays. Stephen Hill too. Led the entire Nation in average yards per reception. Ranked as the Countries #2 WR prospect in regards to run blocking ability/production. A 6'4 freakish athlete in which runs a 4.3 flat. Jumping/Leaping ability is off the charts. Lets just say this, not even Plaxico Burress jumping ability coming out of college could compare/compete with the numbers set by Hill. Kid is going to become something special. Has dominated Revis at times during training camp, and Revis hates to lose; even during practice reps. Which is why he's the greatest (his overall focus is second to none).
Sanchez has offensive weapons. Young explosive one's too. Say what you say about our quarterback, but lets not forget, that Sanchez has improved upon completions, yardage, completion percentage, TD's, TD to INT ration and QB Rating each of his first 3 seasons since being drafted as a raw rookie QB out of USC.

Chaz Schilens, Bilal Powell, Jeff Cumberland and Patrick Turner as offensive sleeprs as the season goes on. All 26 years of age and Powell really stood out during the offseason, Enough so, where, our coaching staff has officially listed him as being our #2 RB behind Greene (who rushed for over 1,000 yards last season behind a struggling/banged up offensive line). Because Powell has shown promise, Joe McKnight, who led the NFL in kick returns last season, can now be used all over the offensive side of the ball. Very explosive once breaking off into the open field. Shifty is the word.
With all that said. Enjoy the game fellow Buffalo fans. An AFC East rivalry is on the verge of taking place. A conference game. A division matchup at that. A season opener. It's only week one, but the winner leaves with lots of confidence and/or momentum heading into week two.
OT's - Glenn, Pears and Hairston are going to have to play way over their heads to give the offense any chance at moving the ball.
Stopping the run - all the hype over Buffalo's new D has been about the pass rush, but that becomes moot if you can't bottle up the backs. If the Jets crack 140 yards total, or 4 yards per carry, it's going to be tough to pull out a win. Line needs to play smart, LBers need to come hard.
Scott Chandler/David Nelson - Revis vs Johnson is going to be the hype, but Buffalo's success is going to hinge on both of these guys having a decent day.

This is one of the most well written posts I've read in a while, you're a great writer. That being said it's gameday & your team needs time to put it all together & your offense has looked horrible at best. Goodluck to your team this season.
