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.

Positives from yesterdays game

12-16-2013, 07:54 AM

1) (really the only one I was looking for yesterday) - Regardless of the opponent, EJ looked much more like an actual NFL QB yesterday than he did vs TB. I just wanted to see some positive life out of him and we got it.
2) Hughes, Aaron Williams, Woods, Gilmore, Dareus, Robey, Kiko all had solid games again. We need to see more consistency out of the D, especially run D, but I think if we can bulk up in the middle (ILB) that can get better.
3) We actually ran the ball with some sort of consistency! Nice to see what should be our strong suit actually helping us win.

Some negatives:
1) Hate to see Dareus get hurt with how well hes playing
2) EJ still didnt take many shots downfield. However, as long as he takes what the D is giving I'll take it.
3) Our run D just sucks. Bobby Rainey and ? Todman have both run over us. So sad.
4) Im a big fan of Stevie and still think hes talented but the guy needs to grow up and become consistently good. He needs to lead our WRs, but Woods is showing hes already our best WR.

Re: Positives from yesterdays game

I was happy to see Summers get more involved.

Hughes was a STEAL & should only improve.

We need a LB & OL

Re: Positives from yesterdays game

I'm positive we won, to the chagrin of some here ( ???????????? )

Positive #2 - EJ worked his way out of his own horrid play in the 1st quarter and looked good the next 3 quarters. Still has a ton of work to do but these " Draft A QB " threads here are self serving, since they won't even look at one this coming spring. Manuel and Lewis are here. Too many other needs.

Positive #3 - D does force turnovers.

Positive #4 - Woods was a very good pick at WR.

Negatives -
Run D
Kid Hackett playing Madden too often with the playcalling
D Giving up too many 1st downs on 3rd and 7 yards +.

Bills rebuilding and I have never lost sight of that. Marrone gets his off-season to make his changes, now that he knows who can win for him. Film never lies.

Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Well I was going to bash Stevie for his play yesterday but he gets cudos from me after hearing what he's dealing with.

Re: Positives from yesterdays game

agree; EJ pulled himself up after that horrid first quarter. The run game looked competent and I love Robert Woods. also Gilmore looks like he's snapping out of his funk.

negative; where the **** has Mario Williams been the last three games or so?

I came.
I saw.

Re: Positives from yesterdays game

Good stuff from many of our young players EJ, Woods, Alonso, Dareus, Robey, and others.

This is evaluation time for this staff, figure out whose sticking and whose not going to be on the team next year.

COMING SOON...

Negatives: can't play Jacksonville every week.

Barely beat one of the worst teams in the league.

EJ broke Dennis Shaw's franchise record for TD passes by a rookie. Winning!

Manuel had a few good series. Aside from that, he looked lost again. The fumble in the 2nd half was maddening. Not only did he not sense the pressure until too late, but he didn't secure the ball. It wasn't knocked out of his hand. He just dropped it.

Fortunately, Jax is horrible. Any other team yesterday would have beaten us.

reading comprehension - "EJ looked much more like an actual NFL QB yesterday than he did vs TB." Dont ignore portions of posts.

You cant argue that he didnt look better than he did vs TB, which is all I said. He was still inconsistent yes but better, which is all I can ask for at this point.

No comprehension or ignoring at all. I was expounding on your comment rather than arguing.

The fact offenses key on him is what allows KW and MD to destroy one on one match-ups.
