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

I don't understand why they stopped running the ball in the 4th quarter. They were running left and right in the 3rd. Sure Brown fumbled. But he came back running hard.
They put the ball in Orton's hands like he's one who can win games on his own. With an injured Watkins no less.
I was quite frustrated with that four downs of passing when we were in scoring distance too. I don't think anyone has treated Orton like an elite QB though. The fact is Orton ferrets out how bad our QB productivity has truly been ...
No. There is a ground swelling in Buffalo like Orton is god. He's NOT.
I gave him credit that he took care of the ball today, not sack and stuff. But apparently they expect more from him.
Take the 2nd last offensive series. At the 15 yard line. No attempt to get another 1st down. Having Orton thrown 4 times. Not even close. The way he's playing today, I'd agree with the TV guy that kick a field goal then play for another field goal.
The field goal at 3rd quarter. What are they thinking? They ran the ball to get into that situation. And they started throw the next two times. Missed Watkins on the left, high to Woods.

Dumbest thread ever.....
Orton did everything possible today. You've lost ur mind.
Orton is very serviceable. No one said he is elite. He is a middle of the road QB. With this defense an average QB can lead this team to the playoffs if they don't shoot themselves in their foot. Today the team shot themselves in their foot.
Bad play calling didn't help. Throwing the ball with second and two at the four yard twice and not playing for the first down was stupid.

It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

I disagree with going for the FG. Yet I do agree with the play calling inside the 15 once we missed the TD on 1st down we should have been making an effort to get the first down not get the TD.
I can't blame Orton. If Brown doesn't fumble, it's 20-3. Next series, it's 23-3. If McKevin doesn't fumble later it's looking 23-10 or 23-13 with the game winding down, 26-16 maybe the last drives, 26-24 maybe if KC hangs tough.
