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

We wont pay for an expensive LT? What do you think Williams will be next year? 8 Million LT. I'd rather force him into a pay cut... move him to Right guard, and get a stud LT.
What does it matter? If TD was too clueless to put a decent line in front of a statue like Bledsoe, do you really expect him to wake up now?
Look for more RBs and WRs. Linemen are simply not sexy enough for the genius.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I don't understand this fascination with putting Williams in at guard. If he is healthy, he is clearly our best RT.
The issue isn't whether or not he can be a very good RT, it is whether he can stay healthy. His proneness to injury rivals that of Jennings and that is the only reason that we could ask him to restructure his deal.
I'm sure that he still thinks he has a chance to get healthy and have a good career as a tackle. I really don't think he is just going to roll over and accept guard money.
The only lineman I see, who absolutely needs to be replaced, is Anderson. He's a continual liability in the passing game.
Gandy has done pretty well and the potential is there for Peters to push him into the guard spot, although that is a ways off.
Teague is a free agent and he will definately be asked to take less money to stay. He may abscond which would put Preston in at center.
Look for an acquisition at guard either in FA or the draft this year. No first round tackles and no big name free agents.

Agreed. Williams is solid if healthy. Teague will likely be gone so Preston will step in at center and Anderson is the only one that absolutely without a doubt needs to be replaced. If Peters continues to improve and can handle left tackle next year then Gandy would be more than adequate at left guard. Then maybe a 2/3/4 round guard to back-up or push Villareal.
The key is to watch the waiver wires now. Look for scrub Olineman getting cut by teams during this season. That is who TD will pickup in the offseason to be molded by McNally. TD has never, ever, put any emphasis on building a strong Oline. He's a fool.
There's always a shiney TE or WR that will be available at our #12 draft pick next draft. Build through the draft. Not necessarily 1st round picks, but definitely DAY 1 picks.
Seriously, Great Olineman rarely make it to FA. DTs make it to FA. CBs make it to FA. OL hardly ever.
Why can't the Bills actually build a great Oline like KC or Indy? Think how great McGahee could be?!
