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 Bills have QB Drew Bledsoe working on quicker drops and releases in an effort to rediscover his touch.
PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- On the opening play of the "team" segment of Wednesday night's practice, Drew Bledsoe sneaked a peek to his right, read his pass progressions across the field, and then dropped a magnificently lobbed 50-yard bomb down the left sideline and over the shoulder of wide receiver Eric Moulds.
A play later, Bledsoe bootlegged to his right, and rifled a completion in the short hook zone to the tight end. Three snaps after that, following a couple of Travis Henry runs, he connected on a slant to rookie wideout and first-round draft pick Lee Evans.
Indeed, Bledsoe seems to have unburdened himself mentally, and physically, too. His hair is close-cropped now, creating a silhouette in which his features appear far more angular, almost hawkish. And while Bledsoe claimed to have dropped just four pounds -- to a weight that represents his lowest since his freshman year at Washington State -- the perception is that the dropoff is more pronounced.
Bledsoe isn't going to win many 40-yard dashes, and whatever quickness he gained is incremental, for sure. That said, he appears more nimble in and out of the pocket, likely because this offense is crisper, and emphasizes unloading the ball in under four seconds. The staff has installed a timer on the field, which blares an ear-splitting report at four seconds, if the Bills quarterbacks haven't gotten rid of the ball by then. The horn did not sound a single time, at least during Bledsoe's snaps, on Wednesday night.
I'm gonna come out and say it. Drew is gonna have a big year. I'm on the bandwagon.

What about the Line, I would love to agree but it seems like the Line will once again be this teams downfall, and effectivly end Bledsoe's career.
Do we have the weapons, YES but do we have the Line, No. The FO staff failed to address our Line Issues especially with the situation with R. Brown, His release left a Huge Void that we have yet to resolve, except to say that "It's Whoever's job to Loose".
We're talking The LG position, Protecter of Bledsoe's Blind side.. This staff has set this offense up to fail unless we show that we can be a RUN FIRST team.

So Pusscillo is Good and will be as solid a Run Blocker as Ruebon.. Is that your opinion or does it seem like the LG, C and RT positions are all big Question Marks? Dude?

I'm not saying that either. I'll let you know my opinion on them once I see them in a game. At least give them that long before you give up on the season.

Is that not enough optimism for you, We have Two 1000 yd backs in the Backfield, Who said anything about Giving Up? Just dont sit Bledsoe back there with Pusscillo or Russ Pucker protecting his blind side and think Moulds will be getting any deep bombs.
I was posting on the subject of Bledsoe having a big year that ANOTHER poster bought up.
