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

Strength - Roster/cap management. He has a plan for going forward. He's been deft on extensions for his core players, then expert on filling out the roster with affordable, competent worker bees with an improving ratio of young guys and vets.
Weakness - I think he might coddle McDermott a little too much sometimes. I have the sense McDermott likes him some vets, and will lean toward sub par vet over promising younger talent unless his hand his forced. It seems sometimes Beane needs to scrape up players that he likely knows don't belong here.
If we punted the ball like everybody else I'd be concerned about the bull back 1 yard and a cloud of dust ..... but we don't (punt much) so I'm not concerned as much.

Good overall. Will cut bait on players he drafted in due course. Willing to make the big trade of draft picks and players. Willing to eat large underperforming contracts. Aggressive in targeted player acquisitions.
Terrible at 2nd round draft choices. Tends to reach in the 2nd round and swing for the fences when more logical 2nd round choices are available. Has no feel, insight or ability to evaluate Offensive Linemen. Beane simply undervalues the importance of the OL. If he signs Edmunds to a new contract, will receive a crap in a jar from me.

You'll be plenty concerned when Allen gets injured trying to gain a yard when no one else is capable, because Allen is basically the short yardage back.

Right now that's the way we move the ball .... if an opportunity presents itself I'd love a Cookie Gilchrist style RB ..... when that happens put me down for one. We probably would have drafted Najee but as we all know he was gone a few picks too early to the Steelers. Can you name one that's currently available?
I'd love to get him.

I want to "like" this a thousand times at least.
Allen running the ball is not a "surprise" to defenses, they expect it.
Defenses want to twist him up and get him out of the game.
The Bills NEED a better option that what we have - or the OLine NEEDS to dramatically improve their run blocking.
The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

Let's say you were making a nice Chicken Pot Pie in the Black Hills one Sunday.
You would choose very good pieces of chicken to put in said pie because you want that Chicken Pot Pie to taste great for you and your loved ones like your Mama.
If you were to instead use chicken poop to make the Chicken Pot Pie, you would expect it to taste like poop.
No amount of spices, wishes, thought and prayers is going to make that Chicken Pot Pie made of chicken poop a better tasting Chicken Pot Pie.
Do you now understand?
If not, I have another analogy that involves Possum Road Kill, Rotting Veggies and a Dirty Crockpot.

NOT that The Family does much business down there other than Miami and New Orleans -- we find the Whites to be too stupid to do the math necessary -- however I object to this type of stereotyping.
