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!

Re: so how do the bills matchup vs the patriots tight ends week1 ?
The Pats are starting to look less scary as the season approaches, losing Welker was huge, you just can't take away 120 receptions without it having an effect and Amendola is no Welker. The Pats defense is nothing special and if the offense can't control the games, like they have in the past, the defense may really turn ugly. Of course they still have Brady, but he has to start showing signs of decline soon (I hope), maybe this will be the year. Forget all I just typed, I forgot, they have Tebow, damn.
Brady does not like pressure & I think Pettine will turn the Ralph into a pressure cooker.
I think over the years people have figured that out. I hope Pettine does his best to keep their offense off-balance. Bringing rushers from unsuspecting spots at unsuspecting times gets into Brady's rythm better than anything else.

Don't forget, the resident Zoloft society stated the Bills season is going to be a disaster and 2 wins total is probable. So the Pats have no excuses. They should kill the Bills, according to those who decided the season in April.

The Bills haven't seen good coaching in so long it's hard for fans to remember what that can actually bring. And this crew is, as of yet, unproven as well.
Re: so how do the bills matchup vs the patriots tight ends week1 ?
I would love to believe this is the year thing will be different. With Pettine's defense and Marrone's attitude. But, I will have to see it to believe it. The Bills have tricked me too many times in the past. The Pat's seem like the can lose half there team and still win the AFC East.
Re: so how do the bills matchup vs the patriots tight ends week1 ?
Things are looking pretty bad for the Pats, but for the last 10+ years, they've been "plug and play" at WR. With Bellicheck's system and Brady throwing, pretty much anyone they've thrown in as a pass catcher has succeeded. We've been here before- ill believe they're on the demise when I see it.
Similarly, covering TE's has been an Achilles' heel for this team for at least 5 years. I call it "the ghost of Donte Whitner." While we have a new defensive system and a new coordinator, we have the same DB's and still lack talent at LB. So, once again, I'll believe the Bills can cover a TE (even a 3rd stringer) when I see it.

Lmao- here we go again. Because those of us who predicted disaster in April for the past ten years have been proven wrong time and time again, right?
New systems on both sides of the ball, rookie or Kolb at QB throwing to inexperienced WR's (behind Stevie), no OL depth, paper tiger DL, lack of talent at LB, good talent (assuming Byrd plays) at DB but no depth there either, likely heavy reliance on rookies on both sides of the ball.
It doesn't take a genius to see that this season is going to be a struggle.

There is a two part interview with Mike Pettine on the Bills official site for people that want to see it.
Pettine said the team will never be dirty, but they want to be INTIMIDATING. He doesn't care about sacks, but he wants to PRESSURE the QB & throw him off his game.
