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

same problem as Bledsoe last year...same problem since 1986...
NO OFFENSIVE LINE. When will you understand that??
Jim Brown could not run behind this line.
The OL did ok to get him 13 TD's last year and double digit TD's for Henry for a couple years.
And Bledsoe isn't playing that spectacular in Dallas with an improved OL. In his last 7 games he has 8 TD's, 11 TO's and 9 fumbles. That's just Drew Bledsoe.
Great RB's can still make big plays without a brick wall for an OL. Our run blocking isn't the best in the league but it isn't the worse either.
Did Barry Sanders have a great OL? How about Dominick Davis for Houston? He's an average RB who is still making big plays behind the absolute worst line for years. He has more total yards and TD's then Willis and has missed two games playing in HOUSTON.
Willis is a good but not great back. You can't waver around the fact he hasn't been running hard or giving full effort the last couple months but is gonna want money like Edgerrin James. Do you wanna pay him that cash?
Does Miami have a good line? Hell no. How is Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams doing? Brown is outplaying McGahee this year even though he is splitting carries. Does Miami have a good line? Be honest with yourself.
Gid rid of the homerism and face the facts that McGahee has taken a step back this year and he's not a Top 5 RB like you wanna believe.
Didn't you say the same thing about Henry? Thought he was a top RB in the league till he finally proved otherwise and McGahee joined the picture. You didn't want to trade him. Stop overrating our players just because you have blind fandom for them and be a realist.

Blind fandom?? I didn't want WM to be drafted in the first place. I think you've tripped into one too many boiled vats of oil.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
I've said it all along....he's not that good....at least not good enough to be drafted in the 1st round....what were the Bills thinking when they got suckered by his agent????

Exactly...if McGahee were to goto the Cowboys he would be making LT look like a little school girl.
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.

Who did want him drafted at the time? After he came out of the gates strong last season everybody was singing a different tune.
The morale was that you keep blaming the OL for everything that happens even though a barely average RB like Henry did good behind it and McGahee had a good year. He's just not playing up to his potential this year. The line has isn't the only one responsible for it.

The whole team has played bad, and the o-line is worse then last year. Mike Williams may wear a dress home from the game, but last year he was one of the better run blockers and was relatively healthy. Jennings is a better run blocker then gandy and had a great year last year. These were the guys blocking for Travis, and Willis last year. So how about you think about some of the crap you type, because your comparing the starters of this year to the starters of 2 years ago. When the two most important postions, the tackles, and left guard have been changed. This line is better in pass protection, but they lack the toughness in run blocking.
So keep making your point about how this is the same offensive line that blocked for travis henry, and willis in years past when only TWO of FIVE starters are the same. The offensive line has been bad for years. This year its worse.
