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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

it's funny going into the year i thought the offense would be the one to surprise us early with efficiency simply because the talent was drafted and stacked in skill positions and that the defense would struggle.
through two games, the defense has looked pretty solid and the offense is the one sputtering and having a hard time being consistent.
I agree with Ed about Wannstedt. He clearly held back the defense. The line remains solid from last year. The secondary is hurting. To me the bright light of improvement has been around the improved LB play from Alonso, Bradham (yesterday) and even Moats. Throw in a surprisingly solid 2 games from McKelvin and Ed is right again... we get back Byrd and Gilmore and the Bills may just have a top 10 defense (barring injury). They did make Newton look better than he is for stretches and Vereen ran all over them, so it's not perfect, but heading in the right direction imo.
Pro football is a very strong old boy's club. Once you're in, the jobs and the cash are always there.
It's not just that he was part of the old boys club, he refused to get with the times and wanted to run a defense like it was the 90's and run that same defense game in and game out.
I won't be so hesitant to change until I have to, particularly for Byrd who the coaches has seen none at all so far.
Well, if you didn't think that Rogers struggled at times yesterday, I don't know what game you were watching. I can understand being chary of Byrd, although I wouldn't be personally, but I'll have Gilmore over rogers every day of the week - and Stephon wouldn't even have to be fully fit.
