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

Brown has improved with the presence of Williams and plays better late in the game when he's fairly fresh. In other words, he's better in a 2 back system (so far). He could have the chance to be the main guy next year.
Willis is a workhorse who gets better the more he carries the ball.
Give me the workhorse any day.
Well... the Fins o-line isnt anything special either. Here are both of their numbers. And Ronnie is SHARING carries...
Ronnie Carries - 167
Yards - 789
Average YPC - 4.7
Runs of 20+ - 5
Long of 65
TDs - 4
Willis Carries - 236
Yards - 948
Average YPC - 4.0
Runs of 20+ - 4
Long of 27
TDs - 4
Plus, Willis is not a breakaway threat. Never really has been. He is more of a powerful short yardage back, while Ronnie is a powerful runner who can go the distance everytime. It is hard to pick one over the other simply because Ronnie has only played in 11 games. However, from what I have seen from both backs, I think Ronnie will have the better career.

Well why I dont disagree that Brown is a great back your going to have little chance of arguing that with most Bills fans.
As I said Fin fans will see Brown as the better back, Bills fans Willis.
Just think if Willis never had the injuries. Even for conversation, I don't feel the need to pick--I really like Ronnie Brown's attitude and his running style, but I do tend to be biased. He's a good fit for Miami, just as Willis is a good fit for Buffalo--both bring things to the table that the other may not, but at least we both have RBs w/ bright futures, unlike other teams. Also, don't forget about the pothead, I mean former pothead, Ricky who is happy contributing where he can. It seems like the 1-2 RB punch is starting to be pretty prevalent in the NFL again, so maybe the Bills will try to hop that bandwagon and get a RB to compliment Willis.
As of right now I would take Willis. I think that once Losman breaks out of his shell it will take alot of pressure off of Willis. Willis has "it" when he wants to, when he is on I dont know if there is a player I would rather have. He is also running behind one of the worst OL's in recent history and consistantly puts up very good numbers (when Mularkey gives him the ball more than ten times a game).
I am admittidly taking a biased stand on this.
In the end I dont think Willis or Ronnie B. have proven dick in the NFL. They both have all the potential in the world but that means nothing. You know what potential stands for? Nothing, all it means is you have not done anything yet. Either way, they are both going to a nightmare for years to come.
While I agree that Fins fans and Bills fans would probably split on this decision... I dont see a quality in Willis that RonnieB doesnt have... but I cant say the same the other way around.
RonnieB is bigger, faster, harder to bring down (though Willis has the nastiest stiff arm in the league) better receiver and a better blocker. Ronnie has the break away speed and on any run, he can take it to the house. And RonnieB also doesnt have any serious injury history. He also has a better attitude which makes things easier for the whole organization (with contract issues and stuff)...
Both havent proven much and have alot of potential... but IMO RonnieB should be the better RB...
