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!
Ranking the 25 Best Moves of the 2014 NFL Offseason
The NFL offseason is all but over, with teams now deep into workouts and heading toward training camp. We have seen our annual free-agent frenzy and the wonder that is the NFL draft...
20. Buffalo Bills Hire Jim Schwartz
Good thing Jim Schwartz was available. The embattled former head coach of the Lions may have been in over his head a bit in Detroit. Despite a remarkable turnaround that saw an 0-16 team make the playoffs just three seasons later, the Lions fired Schwartz after underachieving for the past couple of seasons.
As the defensive coordinator for the Bills, Schwartz gets an opportunity to shine at what he did best before he took that gig.

Re: Ranking the 25 Best Moves of the 2014 NFL Offseason
I know that when this change first happened, that a lot of posters, still upset over Pettine leaving, questioned or panned the signing of Schwartz. They didn't like his scheme, or whatever the complaint was. The fact is that Ralph Wilson had not allowed a lot of veteran coordinators to come here over the years. Schwartz was as close to a square peg going into the square hole of the Bills needs as you could get. He has a good history of fielding good run-stopping defenses. I liked the move from the beginning.
