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

Eagles contacted Bills about trade for Spiller before landing Sproles
Re: Eagles contacted Bills about trade for Spiller before landing Sproles
Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers is the only other player in NFL history with at least 3,000 rushing yards, 1,000 receiving yards, 1,150 kick-return yards and 300 punt-return yards in his first four seasons.
I didn't know this. That's pretty good company for Spiller to be keeping.
I think Spiller would be scary in a Chip Kelly offense. I'm glad the Bills aren't interested in trading Spiller, now hopefully they can find better ways to maximize his skills.

Of course, Gale Sayers had 20+ touchdowns as a rookie . . .
Unfortunately, I think Sayers' high stepping style also contributed to the injuries that shortened his career.
Do doubt. Plenty of mega talents like him though that did not have an opportunity to realize their full potential in the NFL due to injury or illness. Who would not have loved to watch a healthy Gale Sayers, Ernie Davis, Bo Jackson, etc.
Re: Eagles contacted Bills about trade for Spiller before landing Sproles
this seems consistent with the whaley approach. If there is an offer, hear it out, make a decision and move forward.
if gretsky can get traded, everyone needs to be evaluated on what the market has to offer. that being said, the bills run OL still isnt good enough to plug and play. as a result, i think you have to a premier back to get defenses worry about you. until the bills commit to a bigger stronger line, we need some of the best RB talent you can get.
if in 2 years, they have asolid line, i'd be just getting younger at the position and seeing what 3rd round RB can get it done. right now, i don't think that's a good approach. specifically with a young qb who needs to know that a running back can take over the game if he can't.
