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

But you're neglecting the intangibles. WM blocks better. Defenses respect him more. He came in and we scored 2 TDs for the first time this season.
How do you explain that?
They were also running the 2-minute offense, in such a hurry that the OL doesn't matter as much. And wasn't WM only in for one of those drives? If I'm a DC, I'm worried about the RB with 1400 yards, not the rookie with the 'recovered' knee. And if I'm a DC facing the Bills, I'll blitz every down, anyway, so who cares?

Thats an unfair comparison, 19 carries, some backs don't even start getting into rythym until 10 carries. All I can say is 4 games started by TH, 20 carrys/game...no TD's!! When he tripped over his own two feet on 3rd and 1 against NE, I would have benched him then. It just like a goalie in hockey, sometimes you need to change things up to changes the attitude of the team. And I've never seen why everyone is so high on Henry anyways, he's an average back at best, thats all he was in college and all he is today. At least Willis was a gamebreaker in college, maybe he can regain that form.
Simple answer: WM is not getting enough carries. 19? He should get that in one game. He needs reps to get going, and since he never gets those reps, we have no idea what he is capable of.

Very good Eb. As much as I love Travis Henry, he doesn't seem to have it all together so far this season. That may be the O-line's fault for pathetic blocking, but I have seen him miss some holes, easy passes, blocks, and slip every so often... it just seems to me that he is not all there. Why not let Willis show us what he can do!!!
Exactly. He is a dominant RB. He is a great blocker and so much better receiver then Henry too. I mean what was up with that ball that hit Henry in the face last game...That was pathetic. Willis will be our starter and all the Henry fans are upset cause they know it.

I still love that pitch/option play yesterday to McGahee. The threat to go wide is something Henry doesn't offer and it makes our offense more dangerous. With Bledsoe the D only has to attack the middle. That liability isn't necessarily a fatal problem if you have guys that can expand the perimeter. Evans does that. McGahee does that. Henry doesn't. Reed doesn't.
Yeah, if you read the quotes from MM this week, in response to Ralph Wilson's frustration and suggestion they open up the passing game, MM says this team was built around the running game. Then where is it, Mike? Where's the running game? I fully expected the team to get each back 15 carries a game, with an outside shot at two 1000 yard rushers.
At this rate, they're not going to get production from either back, not see any good offers (less than a first rounder means Willis ends up costing us), and we'll have them both back next year. That's probably for the best, anyway, since it's clear you need depth to survive in this league.
I say, keep 'em both, light a fire under the OL, and turn them both loose.
