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

Now that the buffalo bills and TD are just about to announce that jp losman will be the bills starter in 05 and cut drew bledsoe dose this mean we don't have to up grade our o-line because jp losman can flush the pocket and scramble for first downs un likes of drew bledsoe who was sacked 36 times last season. the only addressing the bills have to do to the o-line will be the re-signing of j. jennings . i think the bills are set @ o-line because of losman and set with the rest of the offense to make a strong run to and into the playoffs in 05..

go bills!!!
You maybe right in a sense, I think we need to upgrade at the left guard position, I think Williams and Villarial are solid on the right, I would like the Bills to sign Jennings, Teague did a pretty good job. I would love them to go out and get another solid TE....
We still need to upgrade the line. Young QB's tend to hold the ball to long at times. Of course our line is used to that because our vet QB did the same thing
I agree with scott and regor- the Oline will need an upgrade. This is supposed to be a run-oriented team, and while the run blocking improved during the course of 2004, it needs to be stepped up a little. Again, I'm looking for an upgrade, not an overhaul- an addition of one big-time player and maybe a journeyman for some depth.
O line enhancements will take pressure off of JP in two ways- first, literally in passing situations, and second, by establishing the run and forcing the D to play honest and not blitz on every play (like they did to Bledsoe in '03 and the first 6 games of '04 when we couldn't run the ball).
O Line definitely needs upgrading, especially at the interior. Even a mobile QB can't do too much when a DT is in his face right after the snap. The Bills need another decent Guard, or a center and have Teague play guard.
I'm not so sure the run blocking improved all that much. A large portion of McGahee's yards came when he bounced it outside and pushed the DB's out of his way. The interior of the line needs improvement, both center and left guard.

I have to disagree. Watch an early '04 game with the Bills, then watch a late year game. The O-line improved 10 fold. They will have to adjust to JP's style of play.

My thoughts exactly ...not only did he have to bounce his runs outside to make yards but he also had to do a lot of it after contact behind the LOS. If we can actually get McGahee running downhill b4 he gets hit he can have a huge year. But to do that, we do need an uprgrade at LG. I stilll dont know about Teague though.
