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!
One key factor that was in Mularkey's favor in Buffalo is that he will hire well-respected former Giants offensive line coach Jim McNally to his Bills staff. With Buffalo's offensive problems stemming from its failure to protect Bledsoe this season, McNally's reputation for cobbling together a quality offensive line was deemed very attractive.
The hiring of McNally and a competent OC would make my day.
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?

A guy like this may help but Bledsoe is as much of the problem as anything else. He can not move and a good QB has too in this day and age.
After Gilbride was fired Mularky was left to fix the mess. I think Mularkey kept the terminology, which makes sense because that's what the players knew, and cut down greatly on the number of reads that had to be made. The number of reads IMHO is the fatal flaw in Gilbride's system. Kordell Stewart couldn't handle it. Drew Bledsoe couldn't make them fast enough, and receivers and QB often don't make the same read on a given play. When that happens the receiver will go one way and the ball will end up somewhere else. That happened a lot with the Bills this year. I look at Mularkey's past connection with Gilbride as a positive because he is well suited to fixing Gilbride's mess, yet he won't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
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.
