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

The first drive in OT, the Bills got down to the Minny 20 or so. 1st and 10 Drew gets sacked. I couldn't believe they were throwing the ball. They had a field goal less than 40 yards, until the sack. After the sack, they ran once, then that's when Hollis missed the 44 yarder.
It took me a little time to understand the thinking on this, but he is why I think they were throwing and not running.
1. The weren't running very well.
2. T. Brown is having problems holding on to the ball.
3. I think if Drew has that play over he throws it away! (No harm)
4. We were passing at will pretty much the whole game

Pure talent is what did it yesterday. And DREEEEEWWWW!!!!
A fake FG would have been even better. A pass try. Incomplete, so what. Try again and kick.
Doesn't matter.....GW has a headset on. and besides that. as head coach, as soon as the Moulds catch was completed, he should have said 2 runs and a kick. I put that play on GW.
It made no sense to kick on 3rd down. I actually would have liked them to try to pick up a few more yards on 3rd, then kick on 4th.
Reason: If there was a bad snap on 3rd, we wouldn't have had another shot at a FG if the holder had just fallen on it. It would have pushed us back too far to attempt a reasonable field goal.
Good point LOG, but what's another 7 yds. Hollis was nailing them from 50+ Yds anyways. I don't think that they were comfortable enough with the long snapping to try it on 4th down. I would have ran the ball and centered it up on the field anyways though on 3rd down. Hollis was hitting them good from the left hashmark on in all day and he had to try that one from the right hash. Also, even though he played superb, I put that sack on Drew more than anything. He should have looked for a quick short completion and if it wasn't there throw the ball away.

I'd have kicked on 1st down.
I hate to correct one of my best benifactors, but it was 1st and 5- The Vikes were offsides the snap before.

Makes the decision making more questionable- I'd have run it 2 plays and kicked on the 3rd play. Get the Ball in the middle of the field.
Both his 50+ yard kicks were from the left hash marks, the missed FG in OT was from the right. Because he approches the ball from the left, the Ball tends to go straight or slightly to the right. KIcking on the right hashmarks, he has to hook it slightly left . He over-compensated on the missed kick.
Gotta agree! That makes it soo much more worse! It was 1st down and 5...we only needed another 5 yards for the next set of downs. All we had to do was run the ball with Henry to get the extra yardage and if we don't get the 1st down, we go for the field goal on 4th down. Why would u kick from so far away on 3rd down when you can still use another down for a fake FG or a run for more yards. Oh well...we still WON!
That was the stupidest call of the night. The game should have been over as a result of that drive. 1st and 5 on their 20 and we throw. Brilliant call from the sidelines.

LOG, that was my thinking exactly. A couple extra yards can make a big difference and if they botched the kick they wouldn't of been able to attempt a FG anyways...
It was a great call. It was set up for fantasy owners. Think about the xtra pts people got from that 48 yd TD pass to Price. Probably the difference maker in a lot of fantasy games.
You have to run the ball up the middle twice, and kick the field goal(if you don't get a first down).
