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!
This is only a test
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 only running back who seemed to have the upper hand more often than not was Sammy Morris. Phillip Crosby, Travis Henry and Richard Huntley also had some positive moments ...
I think that Morris will be one of the three running backs to make the team along with Henry and Huntly. Too bad that there is not a whole lot of speed among them. Sam is an effort guy, great hands, decent blocker, and developed into a very good special teams player despite nagging injury. I hope he stays healthy this year - nothing but positives from the guy.
the lack of speed i think will result in Alexander finding his way on the team. I think they will keep 4 RBs and 2 FBs since we should be running the ball a lot this year. I would go with...Henry, Morris, Alexander, Huntly...unless of corse Bryson stays.
Jeff, that is normally the spot that you would take the depth from, but after what we went through last year with all the line injuries, management will think twice about keeping only nine there. That also means that Pucillo probably does not make the team, and a I doubt that he would go to the practice squad - someone would pick him up. There was some talk prior to training camp of using Rogers out of the backfield on some plays but I have not heard anything about that since.
But depth isn't need as much as it was last year...Teague can fill in almost anywhere and can be replaced by Conanty at C. Jennings can play almost anywhere as can Ostroski. Sullivan has decent versatility as well. If someone goes down we can work around it.
I think there is a chance Buffalo will keep 4 RBs and only one FB (Centers). Reasoning: The coaching staff may feel that Morris, who was a college FB, and Huntley, who has pretty good size can play FB enough to get by. All Crosby really brings to the team is his blocking. I'm not downplaying the importance of blocking, but with Crosby it's possible the Bills could telegraph to the opponent what they are doing on an upcoming play because of his limitations. Translation: If the Bills bring him in for run blocking, teams will quickly earn to expect a run whenever he comes in. The other guys are all versatile enough to keep opponents off balance. Morris has been blocking pretty well in camp, and may make Crosby expendable.
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.
Certainly possible TJ, but when you get to a short yardage/goal line situation, its good to have that big fullback. I have read reports that Crosby is a decent receiver and a good special teams player as well.
