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

What do you think about Spiller's future in Buffalo?
What do you think about Spiller's future in Buffalo?
Can you say Spiller is your #1 RB?
I think we are finding out what Saints were finding out about Reggie Bush. Marrone was in New Olean then. I think he should see the light.
To me, Spiller is a change pace guy, not THE guy you count on on any downs. I'd not be surprised if he's traded this off-season if the right deal presents itself.
Re: What do you think about Spiller's future in Buffalo?
Jackson makes Spiller better in my opinion. The change-up between the two is difficult to contend. While I feel like he seems to be getting "it", I also feel like he should have had it quite a long time ago. I question his downfield toughness. Seems to run out of bounds rather than driving for that extra yard. But man, his explosiveness is insurmountable. I love watching him burn downfield. Loved him in Gaileys passing offense.
Re: What do you think about Spiller's future in Buffalo?
love Spiller even tho he had a somewhat down year. Every time he touches the ball I think he could break through, and I love the extra yards he gets on screens/catches. I'd be bummed if we let him go. he's definitely a piece of the rebuilding
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
Re: What do you think about Spiller's future in Buffalo?
It's a case of 1+1=3 They both make each other better.
Honestly as good as Fred is (I've been among his biggest supporters here), I think his roll would be easier to fill. College is full of big productive backs that are "too slow" for the NFL. Spending a midround pick on a guy that knows how to block, catch and run inside (but can't break a long run or turn the corner) would be a good use of a draft pick. Not that anyone could be Fred, but there are a lot of RBs that can be successful splitting time with CJ.
Re: What do you think about Spiller's future in Buffalo?
I don't particularly see we've ever figured out how to use Spiller. Someone will.
It's not real hard to find running backs though either.
I'm pretty apathetic about him atm. His futile bounces outside get on my last nerve, and I don't understand why a fast guy can't sprint through a hole like the slower guy can, because you also know it's not like the slower guy isn't trying to tell him how to do it. He just seems real determined to either run sideways on most plays or run up a linemans back instead of at what might be a hole.
They don't split him out wide enough with that speed, I never understand what seems so complex about linebacker mismatches if you throw enough fast people out wide and have them running in different directions though either.
I'm still not sure after this time what to make of Spiller or who to blame for his dazzling ability to only dazzle once in a rare while, but I think some of it has to be on him too.
If they have money and a clue, take the option, if not, get another running back.
Re: What do you think about Spiller's future in Buffalo?
He's a committee back, and I'm not even convinced he should be the lead back in that committee. If we took him in the third or fourth round, I think we'd be golden but as a Top 10 pick I think he's going to demand too much for a second deal.
And he makes a lot of stupid mistakes for a fourth year back. Running out of bounds right before the half is an inexcusable mental lapse.
