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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Gotta ask. The team looked pretty ragged all around. The officiating didn't really fall our way. The OL was Swiss cheese...but in the end the defense gave JP 3 drives to bring the Bills back. Based on what many posters thought that Bledsoe blew the game Monday night for the Cowboys I got to ask...
How much of the loss against the Falcoms do we blame on JP??
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
He blew it on the 12 yard sack on the first drive. He blew it with the INT. He blew it with the fumble at the end (he actually had time on that play), he missed some wide open receivers and was generally off the mark al day.
But he didn't give up 200 yards rushing- that was the D's fault. If they could have held Atlanta in check, the 16 points might have been enough. I'd say 45% Defense, 45% JP and 10% **** officiating.
For this game: everyone needs to share it equally except for Lindell. I know Losman blew it at the end, but if the defense doesn't play like a bunch of idiots at the beginning of the game, maybe Losman isn't having to play comeback at the end of the game. Pretty bad performance all around.

If I had to rank the Bills' problems against Atlanta, I'd have to make JP No. 1.
But there are many others, and I now officially consider this a rebuilding year. No matter how good or bad our QB might be, we don't have a playoff O-line and we don't have a playoff defense, especially if Spikes is gone. So we might as well leave JP in so he'll have a season under his belt next year.

As soon as Takeo went out, they just busted our ass up the middle, Duckett was tough.
I have to disagree just barely that JP was our main problem against Atlanta. The D was, but imo they're both right there at the top.
I have to say on O the blame has to fall with JP. Yeah the line was bad and deserves blame, but on those deep routes where he had time but blew the throw, that's not their fault. They also were pretty good in run blocking allowing WM to get a 140. JP's the leader so he has to step up and shoulder the responsibility.
The D gave the O chances at the end yes, but conversely, if they had held Atlanta to fewer points, they might not have needed to.
He blew it on the 12 yard sack on the first drive.
Are you talking about the sack where they ran the stop watch and the Falcons rush was on JP in like 1.8 seconds? And he kept trying to get away as more famcons were pouncing on him and our the O-line stood around like "duhhhh"? Kind of harsh to say JP "blew it." What about the O-line?
