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!

Remember that griping about "not keeping a 4th RB just in case"?

I guess it didn't actually matter if we kept a 4th RB, because guess what - we resigned Johnny White. So not having him on the 53 made absolutely zero difference.

And that Spiller pick was such a waste, wasn't it?

Plus I dont know about you, but I thought Freddie is starting to show his age and looked much slower in camp and preseason this year. Im thrilled we got Spiller and cant wait to see him get his chance.

I agree with that. I was actually thinking the same thing. He has that electric quality about him where you know he's one step away from taking it the distance. Can't teach speed and instinct.

Unfortunately for the Bills, Spiller has the great speed and Fred has the great instincts.

Being an optimist, with a good oline, and cj, along with fitz just being a game manager, could we replicate the mid 70s teams?

I think Spiller is starting to fiqure it out. He finished strong last season and played well against the Jets. He uses his blocking much better now.
I'm not saying he's OJ but maybe we can get lucky and get a back like Johnson from Tenn. is.

The biggest difference in Spiller is his patience. I noticed several times on Sunday when he was slowing down and placing his hand on the back of the lineman in front of him and making his cut after said lineman initiated contact. Thats a great sign in his development. I'm expecting a big game from him this weekend.

I only drink when I'm alone or with others.

Coulda opted for Jason Pierre-Paul and saved themselves $100 million plus.

Right. We all need to clap out hands and sing Kumbaya.

So the Wilsons would be $100 mil richer and Tashard Choice would be the starter right now.
