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!
This is only a test
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

Now let's hope the running game finds it's footing. We aren't going to win too many games against better Ds w/o some balance. Henry's inconsistency is starting to pop up...
I've given up on seeing any defense this season!
STs; well, let's just hope that more goes for us than against us each week. It's a seesaw!
Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!
i agree, the bills totally abandoned the run in the 2nd half, he had that nice 17 yard run. i think the vikes expected ALOT more running this week, and they were prepared for it.
I got scared when I saw a Wys thread and I have to get to work.
This game is why we got Bledsoe....AVP, RJ, Doug, Todd, Billy Joe...none of them could have done this.
I think the Vikings stacked the line so much to take away the run, we had to pass. They gave us the pass and dared us, and rather than be stubborn and decide to try and run, we passed. That's why Bledsoe had so many yards.
I think it was the right decision. It had nothing to do with Henry.
I saw a different game. Most of the game Minnesota rushed 4, their down linemen. Frequent blitzes, but on passing downs. Not intended to stuff the run. my bud said the same thing while we were watching the game. I then asked him to show me some of those where more than 4 were rushing and he couldn't. Perceptions.
Henry should have "found/made" some holes. Unacceptable when the passing game is clicking like that. Even if they had consistently put 5 on the line, that's no excuse for a 10/28 game in which DB put up a flawless almost 500, 3 TDs, and made no mistakes.
LOL BTW all of ya! Philster,

The pain-killers are good...
"Mmmm! Painkillers..." LOL

just because they only rushed 4 doesn't mean that they didn't gear their D toward stopping the run.
Then name any or all plays that Travis should have gotten more yards than he did. The losses and no yardage runs he was hit immediately. The two times he had holes he got 17 and 12 yards. The fumble was more Drew than Travis, it looked like to me and Drew admitted was a bad handoff. You can't just say there were four guys and that he should have had more yards. He didnt have a chance for yards. He got few carries and fewer holes. I dont think any back would have gotten many if any more yards with those exact touches and we gained 468 yards and scored 31 points on offense, what do you want?
You can only do so much to stop the D w/ 4 guys. Then it's the OC's responsibility to run "around" the "hole-plugs." It's not brain science! There's only so many ways that you can stop the run by using only 4 men. Besides, if that's the best we can do against a Minnesota team's front 4 who are "dedicated to stopping the run", then we're in a world of hurt against N.E., Chicago, Oakland, G.B., S.D., Miami, etc.
KG has the imagination of a McDonald's counter worker! Simple things like that should be solveable by the average fan.
