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

We've had the same players and the same coaches we had in the first two weeks that we have now. Did prime time screw up our coaches? Did they do something to the play books that they used in the first two games? Something went drastically wrong, drastically fast. IMO, we should consider ourselves only 2-4, because even that OT game was horrible as well. Before you jump on that, it's just a figure of speech. I am still trying to figure out what changed?
I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!
Nothing changed. That's just it! Even though we won the first two games, we made a lot of mistakes; mistakes that have never been corrected. (I suspect that some haven't even been addressed!) The difference is that the opposing coaches KNOW that these mistakes won't be corrected and game plan accordingly. That's why you're seeing Pucillo blocking air when the opposing defense runs a stunt; why you see blitzes on first down (or third and short) when we have the ball, and a myriad other indications that they already know what's coming before our coaching staff makes the call. To me, GW is coaching this team as if his record is 24-14 instead of 14-24!

Their playbook has been published by Marvel Comics. Even Hellen Keller could have figured out when and what plays the Bills run.

I think what the opposing coaches know is that the problems haven't been corrected....there is no reason for them not to be corrected. And so they will continue to hammer away until the Bills fix the problems.
Sammy Morris got injured. It appears that the game plan heavily depended upon Sammy (one of the reasons they traded Gary) and then when he got hurt thet were never able to adjust.
He supposedly had a great offseason and was becoming as good as catcher as Centers.
It reminds me of week 1 of season 1 of the new coaching team when Cowart got hurt.

Losing Morris hurt. Still, look at Philly...lost an entire def. backfield, 2 dl's. NE heavy hit by injuries.
Originally posted by helmetguy So you're saying the problems have to be corrected? Firm grasp of the blatantly obvious there!

Thanks!

Why would you expect the organization to agree to the point that they don't have coaches doing their jobs?
Helmetguy is right. Nothing has changed. We beat a New England team with its collective head up its collective butt over the Lawyer Milloy fiasco; and a terrible Jacksonville team.
We've stunk against every other opponent, every one of which now knows to apply defensive pressure right up the middle, and to gear their offense to take advantage of our over pursuit and poor tackling on defense.
And our coaches don't know how to make the necessary adjustments.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
