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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

What does everyone think our biggest O weakness will be?
Outside of penalties, I don't see anything that worries me too much. I'de have to say my one little concern is TE's, and a slight concern with O-line. Don't get me wrong, these are very small concerns, just enough for me to say hmmm...
I'm concerned about the o-line. I thought they were overrated going into camp, and said so on here. I think they have alot to prove as far as whether they're gelling as a unit.
We need a strong o-line. I'm not sure our's is that good. Hope I'm wrong, but that's my big concern. Unless the o-line works, Travis won't be as productive, Drew won't have as much time to throw, and Moulds won't get the receptions.
Argue like hell. Keep it clean. And when it's over, shake hands and root for our team!
Sacks! It's a toss up between protection breakdown and Bledsoe holding the ball too long. = way too many times Drew is on the ground and we lose yards doing so.

Bledsoe's play vs. the better teams, of which our schedule contains 10 or 11 of them. Also, his TOs.
We'll have to limit his role otherwise they'll be huge factors again preventing us from winning games.
OL will be solid and suprisingly we have some decent depth.
WRs will be fine and again, depth there is surprising from a month ago.
RBs, ditto.
TEs ditto.
So the O is solid. Only mistakes can hurt us. One or two a game won't be factors unless in Bledsoe fashion they either end a drive in the red zone or set the other team up in ours. But 2 or 3, or more, per game, are going to lose games for us.
Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!
Gilbride and Bledsoe. Bledsoe was generally atrocious in the second half last season. He laid an absolute egg in the SD, NYJ(2nd), GB, and NE(2nd) games last season. The Green Bay and New England games were two of the worst performances I have ever seen from any quarterback at any level. I wouldn't mind seeing Travis run more than Bledsoe throws this year. I'll give Drew the benefit of the doubt to start the season, but if he returns to playing the way he did to end the season I'll start praying for a switch to AVP.
Discipline. While Gilbride needs to be able to adapt the game plan to what the Patriot's do to some extent, I hope they don't let panic get them off the game plan. I almost think that's Belichik's primary modus operendi (I can't spell Latin). He disrupts what the other team wants to do early and then works to keep them off balance. Buffalo needs to be ready to adapt early but not throw their whole game plan in the trash just because Belichik puts 10 men on the line and TH can't run in the first series.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
OL will probably be a problem, if you take Sulivan a 5th round offensive tackle playing guard last year and replace him with a non drafted college guard, then I think it shows you are not quite set.
